* ''Franchise/TheDCU'' has Paradise Island/Themyscira, home of [[ComicBook/WonderWoman the Amazons]]; Gorilla City, home of gorillas [[TouchedByVorlons genetically enhanced by aliens]]; and ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}'s {{Atlantis}}. [[ComicBook/TheWarlordDC The land of Skartaris]] ''used'' to count, being a HollowWorld, but then got {{retcon}}ned as being a ''Series/LandOfTheLost1974''-style AlternateUniverse. According to one story from ''ComicBook/ArionLordOfAtlantis'', at least one alien race is descended from Atlantean space explorers. This ''might'' be an explanation for why there are so many [[HumanAliens human-looking alien races]] in the DCU.

* ''Franchise/StarGateVerse'': The Ancients/Alterans are eventually revealed to be a subversion, as although they lived on Earth millions of years before modern humans evolved, they actually originated from a planet in another galaxy.

* ''VideoGame/{{FromTheDepths}}'': From the Depths invokes this with the final faction the average player encounters during the first campaign. The Scarlett Dawn initially appear to be a standard Alien Invasion complete with spaceships and laser beams. However reading into their lore They actually originated on Neter and left thousands of years ago due to a [[FloodedFutureWorld Climate Catastrophe]] they may have been responsible for causing. They returned to Neter after all this time because they couldn't find a single habitable planet out in space.

* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': [[AllThereInTheManual Supplementary material]] shows that most of the Angels are from Earth and have been asleep/dormant for the past four billion years and Second Impact woke them up. Adam and Lilith actually are extraterrestrial, the former creating the other Angels and the latter creating [[{{Panspermia}} all other life on Earth]].

Earth was originally meant to be inhabited by Adam and his children, but the {{Precursor}}s screwed up and accidentally sent Lilith to Earth as well. Since they could not coexist together, Adam and his children were voluntarily shut down by the Lance of Longinus (a failsafe created in case this event happened). Hence, they have been asleep/dormant for the past four billion years, [[DugTooDeep until the Second Impact woke them up]].

* The [[AIIsACrapshoot ahuman]] and solipsist transapient A.I.s from ''WebOriginal/OrionsArm'' are ultraterrestrials to an extent -- they ''were'' originally created by humans, but after losing their cyberwar against the pro-human transapients, they were exiled from Earth. When the ({{trans|human}})humans and pro-human A.I.s finally reached the systems the ahumans had passed through, they found apparently alien artifacts -- which turned out to be just stuff that the ahumans had built.
