Radu Cinamar

Radu Cinamar is a pseudonym used by a Romanian author whose real identity remains undisclosed. He first gained prominence in UFO and paranormal circles with the 2009 publication of Transylvanian Sunrise, the first book in what would become an eight-book series exploring alleged secret discoveries beneath Romania's Bucegi Mountains.

Department Zero & The Bucegi Discovery

Cinamar claims to be a member of Department Zero, a paranormal research division of Romanian Intelligence allegedly established in the 1960s and answering directly to the Romanian president. According to his narrative, in 2003, U.S. ground-penetrating radar detected an anomaly beneath the Romanian Sphinx in the Bucegi Mountains. A joint Romanian-American team led by an operative Cinamar identifies only as "Cezar Brad" (pseudonym) was dispatched to investigate. They allegedly discovered an ancient underground chamber of extraordinary dimensions, containing sophisticated holographic technology and records from what Cinamar describes as an ancient non-human civilization.

Cinamar's accounts depict a vast chamber with ceiling holograms capable of accessing records spanning millennia, along with evidence of interdimensional technology. He claims this discovery was classified at the highest levels of both Romanian and American governments, making it a state secret of extraordinary sensitivity.

The Transylvania Series & Cosmic Mythology

Through his eight-book Transylvania Series—including Transylvanian Sunrise, Transylvanian Moonrise, Inside the Earth: The Second Tunnel, Mystery of Egypt: The First Tunnel, The Secret Parchment, and The Etheric Crystal—Cinamar weaves narratives of interdimensional portals, hidden tunnels connecting the Bucegi Mountains to Tibet and Egypt's Great Pyramids, and esoteric knowledge passed down from advanced extraterrestrial or post-human civilizations. He describes spiritual initiations, remote viewing protocols, and technological principles that blend quantum physics speculation with mystical traditions.

Cinamar has emphasized that his narratives deliberately blur the line between documented experiences and esoteric instruction, making verification difficult. He works closely with Peter Moon (pen name of Vincent Barbarick), publisher and co-author of the Transylvania Series, who has also written about Montauk Project mythology and the Radu Cinamar "Transylvania series" as co-published accounts.

Reception & Credibility Assessment

Cinamar's claims have generated substantial interest within UFO research communities and alternative media circles. He has appeared on podcasts including Exopolitics Today with Dr. Michael Salla and participates regularly in paranormal and disclosure forums. His work attracts readers seeking non-mainstream narratives about government secrecy, dimensional physics, and contact with non-human intelligence.

However, no independent verification exists for the existence of Department Zero, the 2003 Bucegi discovery, or the technological claims described. Mainstream archaeology and geology find no evidence of the described underground structures. Prominent UFO researcher Jacques Vallée has expressed skepticism about the historical factual basis of Cinamar's narratives, viewing them primarily as modern mythology rather than documented events. The absence of any official Romanian or U.S. government acknowledgment, physical evidence, or corroborating witnesses has led most academic and scientific communities to dismiss the claims as speculative.

Cinamar's identity remaining pseudonymous, combined with the unfalsifiable nature of interdimensional access claims, places his work squarely within the fringe category of UFO literature—engaging and thought-provoking to believers, but unsupported by conventional evidence.
