 A truly unusual Case from the files of "Ancient Astronauts" and their possible visitation of Earth in the past, The Balan Kaka Ula Discs (also referred to as "The Dropa Stones", are a story that is part Science-Fiction and part Fantasy. Considered one of the most debated Cases prior to The Roswell Incident of 1947, it is (as always), up to you to be a "skeptic" or "believer".

Dr. Chi Pu Tei of The University of Peking, China, undertook the task of leading an Expedition into the remote Kunlun Kette Mountain Range of Qinhai Provence (near The Tibetan Border). His goal was to document a long reported strange Race if people's who (for generations), grew no taller than 4 feet. Further, this Race of "Little People" were characterized by elongated skulls and eyes set extremely close to one another. They are called Regionally - The Dropa. Dr. Tei and an Associate went into the remote Balan Kara Mountain in 1937.

Stumbling onto The Cave found in the mountain was by accident. The entrance was concealed by a thick overgrowth of trees. Once cleared, Dr. Tei made entry. At first opinion, Dr. Tei noted the ceiling walls and floor of the cave was not carved by water erosion or by hand. It appeared smooth and cut by "some other force". The walls also featured strange symbols of "disc shaped Objects, Oddly shaped Beings and a "view" of The Earth from Space! Deeper in the cave Dr. Tei went.

Dr. Tei found deeper in the cave, a collection of stone discs that resembled phonograph records. The Objects were between 9 inches and 1 foot long. Each Object had a spiraling line that was filled with a type of silver metal. In-between the spiral "gaps", were small images and pictures that were so small, they could only be seen with a magnifying glass. Each disc featured a 3/4 inch opening in it's center.

Dr. Tei next discovered elaborate cave paintings, showing strange, small Beings with elongated heads. Additionally. The paintings showed Objects that appeared "saucer-shaped". He felt that these must be The Dropa. This was driven home more by the nearby skeletons! The strange remains appeared more or less human. 12 so remains were counted, arranged as if in a burial practice or ritual. The skulls were elongated and the occular orbits (eyes), were unusual close to one another. All told, over 719 discs were found in the cave. Several skeletons and discs were retrieved and Dr Tei returned with his amazing find.

Several of the discs were sent to Russia fir study. There. Experiments with resonance were conducted. The silvery substance in the spiral portion of the discs turned out to be Colbalt. When electricity was passed though the discs, they were said to vibrate and "hum". The average age of the discs and skeletal remains were placed between 10,000 and 12,000 years old. Dr. Tei turned over translation of the disc carvings to Associate Tsum Un Nui. Upon completion, the Academic World decried both he and Dr. Tei as frauds. So much so, the Dr. Nui quit the profession and moved to Japan, refusing to talk about the discs again. In summation, the "story" He deciphered goes as such. The original Dropa were a group of either Explorers or colonists, who for some unknown reason - crashed in China some 12,000 years ago. Unable to contact their Planet for help or fix their Craft, The Dropa settled into human society. Although they interacted well with other primitive, cave dwelling humans, one Clan - The Hai disliked them. A misunderstanding led a Dropa to kill a Hai. War was declared. The Dropa were almost all wiped out. Those survivors integrated themselves into another human cave Clan, mating with them. The so-called current Dropa Tribe are their direct genetic ancestors.

Now our story takes the usual turn to the "Land of Disinformation". By the mid-1950s, ALL traces of the discs vanished - as have all of Dr. Tei's written research. Although China will admit to Tei's Expedition to search for The Dropa "people" in 1937, that is as far as they are willing to go. All Universities that had possession of a Dropa Disc, now claim to have never seen one, let alone heard of such. The same is said for the 12 skeletons. With the exception of a single skull, they too have vanished. The surviving skull is said to be an example of primitive skull modification practices among ancient peoples. This despite the fact the Ancient Chinese were "foot binders". They still offer no explanation for the ocular orbits. All attempts to examine the skull have met with resistance (despite one's academic standings).

The Chinese Government tightly controls any access to The Balan Kara Cave or any contact with the reputed "human side" of the mysterious Dropa people (if in fact they still exist). Even air traffic is diverted - even intercepted on occasion. The cave itself was said to have been sealed. However, a 1997 a photo which surfaced clearly shows it as it must have looked to Dr. Tei in 1937, completely overgrown with brush and trees. The final mystery is the only known photograph of "human" Dropa. Taken in the late 1940s, it reputedly shows a male and female (said to being part of Dropa Ruling Class). Note, if you will, their general size, eye placement and head (what can be seen).
