F. Bruce Russell

Francis Bruce Russell (b. c. 1895) was a self-described psychoanalyst and anthropologist resident at Los Angeles, California during the 1930s and 40s. Russell achieved his peak notoriety in 1947 when he was claimed in press reports to have formed Amazing Explorations, Inc. for the purpose of rediscovering a cave system he was purported to have stumbled across in 1931 somewhere in the California-Arizona-Nevada borderlands, in which he said there were preserved remains of ancient, highly advanced peoples who may have destroyed themselves using atomic technology.
