Maldek
Mainstream planetary science holds that the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is debris that never coalesced into a planet, owing to Jupiter's gravitational disruption, rather than the remnant of a world destroyed after formation, and no life has ever been publicly acknowledged by the mainstream scientific community or confirmed to have existed there. According to the contactee Alex Collier, Elena Danaan — relaying what Thor Han Eredyon told her and, separately, in her Encyclopedia Galactica — and the psychic Stewart Swerdlow, the belt is additionally identified as the remnant of Maldek (also called Maldec, Malla, or Janos in variant traditions), an alleged former fifth planet of the Sol system. The planet is described as Earth-like in environment, the first inhabited world of the solar system, and the origin point from which terraforming of Mars and Earth was conducted by ancient spacefaring cultures. Its destruction is attributed, variously, to a Galactic Federation strike against a resident Draco colony, a Maytrei offensive against the planet itself (under its Galactic Federation name Janos), an Anunnaki–Alliance of the Six war, or a Draco-directed comet impact — accounts that agree Maldek is gone rather than merely undetected, and that disagree on both cause and date.
Description and history
Alex Collier, whose Andromedan contacts provided information about the ancient history of the Sol system, described Maldek as the first inhabited planet in the solar system, with Mars and Earth subsequently terraformed from it — meaning the biosphere, animal life, and plant life of both worlds was seeded from Maldek's existing ecosystem. Collier stated that the first extraterrestrial presence in the solar system "parked itself" at Maldek — later identified with the asteroid belt — before spreading to other worlds.
In a separate passage of A Gift from the Stars (2020), according to Thor Han Eredyon to Elena Danaan identifies the destroyed planet under its GFW name Janos and attributes its destruction specifically to the Maytrei: "The most violent offensive was the destruction of the nearby 4th planet, Janos, by the Maytrei, wiping out all life on Tyr [Mars]." This passage places the catastrophe within the broader context of Mars's history of successive invasions, with the destruction of Janos/Maldek being the event that stripped Mars of its atmosphere and rendered it a "barren red rock."
Elena Danaan's A Gift from the Stars (2020) also records that the Draco reptilians empire had a colony on Maldek, and that the planet was "blown up in a war with the Galactic Federation to try to get them out of the solar system." Danaan's We Will Never Let You Down (2021) provides a complementary account via Val Thor: the destruction of Maldek caused Mars to endure a "brutal cataclysm," driving the humanoid Lyran colonies on Mars to flee to Earth and Venus.
The Encyclopedia Galactica (2024) identifies the destruction as resulting from "a war between the Anunnaki and the Alliance of the Six," and dates the event to the deep prehistory of the solar system.
Draco-comet weapon mechanism
Stewart Swerdlow, in a 2020 American Alchemy podcast interview, provided a divergent account in which the Draco caused Maldek's destruction indirectly: the Draco attacked humanoid colonies in the solar system by directing an ice comet — pulled by an artificially created micro-black hole — into the inner solar system. The comet's passage caused Uranus to flip its rotational axis (explaining its unique north-south rotation), and the consequent gravitational disruption destroyed Maldek. At that time, Swerdlow stated, Earth was "a water planet with no land mass" and an almost liquid-type atmosphere.
Karmic wounds framing
An interview billed as featuring a descendant of Dwight D. Eisenhower referenced Maldek in the context of karmic wounds carried by humanity: "experienced the wounds and the trauma of having a planet blown up, which is now the asteroid belt. Maldek blew up, Tiamat blew up, and Tiamat was in direct relationship with the Sophia Gaia energy."
Survivors: the Sasquatch connection
The Encyclopedia Galactica Volume I identifies the Kootu — a related-to-human species native to the Azaran star system — as having deep genetic connections to the former inhabitants of Maldek. The text states that Kootu "peculiar features relate closely to several hominid species on Earth and on many other worlds, notably on the 5th planet of the Sol system, Maldek," and directly identifies the surviving Maldekian refugees on Earth as the beings "commonly named 'Sasquatch.'" The Kootu are described as warriors and active members of the Galactic Federation of Worlds, known for their "integrity and love for honour, ethics and justice."
