Turn of the century scifi author whose book, THE COMING RACE, was about the Vril-ya, a rac eof people who look like angels who were driven underground by The Flood, and plan to return to the surface, conquering and/or disposing of the human civilization, once space underground runs out. They utilized by will power an energy form called "vril" -- think The Force -- both to heal and to destroy. A lot of people at the time, and since then, thought it was a real announcement of a possible conquest from a subterranean master race, and it's found its way into such conspiracy theories as Nazi UFOs.
Weird, lost civilizations and super-beings that angels resemble pop up now and again in anime, and it's not too crazy to think it all flows back to Bulwer-Lytton's book.
