Not being a clairvoyant myself I am not in a position to comment on 
his observations. Personally, I think he was just offering his view 
on the subject. But it is interesting to note that the following 
passage from "The Secret Doctrine", vol. 2, addenda IV-B, seems to 
consider the possibility of life in other planets:


"Venus, like Mercury, has a very dense atmosphere, as also has Mars 
and the snows which cover their poles, the clouds which hide their 
surface, the geographical configuration of their seas and 
continents, the variations of seasons and climates, are all closely 
analogous — at least to the eye of the physical astronomer.  But 
such facts and the considerations to which they give rise, have 
reference only to the possibility of the existence on these planets 
of human life as known on earth.  That some forms of life such as we 
know are possible on these planets, has been long since abundantly 
demonstrated, and it seems perfectly useless to go into detailed 
questions of the physiology, etc., etc., of these hypothetical 
inhabitants, since after all the reader can arrive only at an 
imaginary extension of his familiar surroundings.  It is better to 
rest content with the three conclusions which M. C. Flammarion, whom 
we have so largely quoted, formulates as rigorous and exact 
deductions from the known facts and laws of science.

I. The various forces which were active in the beginning of 
evolution gave birth to a great variety of beings on the several 
worlds; both in the organic and inorganic kingdoms.

II. The animated beings were constituted from the first according to 
forms and organisms in correlation with the physiological state of 
each inhabited globe.

III. The humanities of other worlds differ from us, as much in their 
inner organization as in their external physical type."

I will reserve my opinion on your claim until after the publication 
of the second volume of The Letters of H. P. Blavatsky.
