There's a song by the Stranglers called _the Men In Black_. Pretty spun-out.
I can get the lyrics, if you like, but they're not that special.

A fringe-science nut friend of mine says that the MIB claim to be govt,
but never carry any convincing ID.

The MIB are, like most interesting "secret stuff", unsubstantiated
fiction.

Don, do you have a file that contains the verbatum words(English translation)
of this document: "Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion"?

I was said the other day on the radio show by Tom Valentine's guest that
this document is possibly a very accurate blueprint for the course
of action since the late 1700s up to the present for many actions
leading to the "New World Order" being proported in connection with Bush's
association with a `Chapter 322' a Yale of '49, whatever that means?

Does this document spell out actions/methods and do they lead to a 
Democratic Republic or Totalitarian form of One World Order when the
dust of reorganization settles?

I've looked in the law library on one or two occations and found
very serious referential E.O.'s suggesting very severe potentials
in the future that seem to follow a very subtle plan of action.  Of
greater concern now than before is that it appears that America and
the world is being quided in that direction for 1992, an end with very
tight control at every level, out of the publics hands.  I've never
seen the `New States Constitution' yet, but now I realy wounder if 
it has any genuine public representation inclusions of merit?  I
beleive it was produced by the `Center for Democratic Studies' in(?)
Santa Barbara, Calif. for a taxpayer cost of over $25,000,000.

Could a group of aliens, if they were around in the 1700s also, 
have had some influence here in these Protocals also?

I would like to get/see the file on these Protocals if you have
a credible copy of that text. It seems too me that you might just
have a copy of this proported gameplan blueprint.  

And if you have some deeper insight there, what might it be, if
you feel it appropriate to share, now that `Free Trade' is likely
around the corner, along with its many questionable effects on the
common man in the U.S., as regards his power to influence the running
of this country when he has next to no resources or is on the street?

Thanks for your previous post again, very interesting considerations
not likely overlooked by those with influence in world events.

Hi Folks,
 
The following file is a Unarius Academy of Science text written by 
Dr. Ernest L. Norman in *1956* about "The Truth about Mars"..
 
It could also be a heckuva great movie script too :-)

                    THE TRUTH ABOUT MARS
 
                       copyright 1956
 
                   by Dr. Ernest L. Norman
 
       E X C E R P T S    F R O M    T H E    B O O K
 
 
                     ___________________
                        INTRODUCTION
 
 
     For centuries before spacecraft transformed our under- standing
of the solar system, almost all the planets were believed, with
varying degrees of conviction, to be inhabited. This belief conformed
to the Copernican world view, in which Earth is not unique among the
planets. When the Space Age opened in 1957, the evidence for
indigenous life was strongest for Mars - almost conclusive, on the
face of it - and from the beginning the search for life on Mars became
a major goal of the United States' Space Program. The result was the
historic series of spacecraft that began with MARINER 4, in 1965, and
ended with VIKINGS 1 & 2, in 1976.
     The dawning of the Space Age is a material event, occurring in
the latter part of the 20th Century, and as the description that
follows is a result of a developed mental means of communication, it
strengthens the understanding of this means of communication as being
the real and more apparent factor in the transference of energy from
point to point.
     Dr. Ernest L. Norman is the progenitor and a mental giant,
writing from the higher statement of a full consciousness of the
reality of the mind as a cosmic centrifuge. This is the first book
written by him in 1955, inaugurating the Unarius Academy of Science.
     In this small but important book, a first, Dr. Norman extends the
present knowledge of life on our close companion planet Mars, which
has all of the basic biological and geological conditions for the
evolutionary development of life forms, including Homo sapiens. He
addresses mankind, not with the hardware of rocketry, space probes and
other sophisticated, high-energy technology, but introduces the
individual to not only the possibility or probability of life on other
planets, but in actuality, through the higher factors of the mind,
immediately taking the reader to planet Mars to reveal the enigma of
this planet. This enigma has been tantalizing the minds of humankind
for hundreds of years, that has occasioned a series of narrations over
the years, titillating the imagination of mankind throughout
civilizations up until the present time.
                                                            2
 
 
     The importance of this booklet is that the mind, man's enigma,
can reveal the power existent, to apply in all ways necessary for the
progressive development of any individual so desirous of expanding the
central intelligence of himself in his relationship to the apparency
and to the vitality of society on this and other earth planets.
     For this reason, Dr. Norman, as an Elder Brother, pointed the way
for aspiring mankind to overcome the limitations of his narrow
confinement in the material sectors of life, as is the present
pioneering efforts of our scientific community through the auspices of
the United States National Aeronautics & Space Administration.
     The expository nature of Dr. Norman's description of the reality
of human life, living underground, is a vital teaching, not only of
the magnanimous nature of man in overcoming the limitations of his
material environment, but also of the reality of the interplanetary
life of Homo sapiens!
     The data now being collated by the many thousands of computer-
enhanced images from the ZINC probes are validating the pre-history of
Mars as an integrated and formed world of an ancient civilization.
However, it will not be until Earth humans land on Mars  that the
evidence of Martian society will be known and accepted. The computer-
enhanced image revealing a `face on Mars', is capturing the interest
of many people, including those in the scientific sector; a prelude to
the buildup of further hard data, revealing the evidence of the ruins
of ancient, advanced civilizations in the Cydonia region of Mars.
     All of the precluding is the material evidence necessary for
those who do not have second sight or who have not developed the
mechanics of their third eye, with the reality of their sixth, seventh
and higher senses. But this should not deter anyone, and in fact, is
the objective of this writing, to wake up the reader to his unlimited
capacity in that he too, can communicate through his sixth and higher
senses. This so-called `telepathy' a principle of frequency and
harmonics, will reveal to him the evidence of the evolutionary design
of life on companion earth planets.
     The exploration of Mars is in this sense, the first phase of
reawakening mankind to the reality of the expanding universe, right in
his own backyard, in his own solar system. The reality is that earth
planets are abundant in our Milky Way Galaxy. The reality is that man
has communicated via spacecraft and is continuing to communicate with
the denizens of this planet through telecommunication or mental means,
-the normal methods of communication of advanced Space Brothers.
     With all of this, of course, is the other reality! Present Earth
history has not revealed the true story of man's past, and the reasons
why technology has outdistanced the knowledge of man's humanity to his
fellowman and of his creative spirituality.
     You will therefore read in this booklet that the Martian people
are wiser in their knowledge of their inherent human nature and
practice this cosmic principle in their society. War is not a factor
to disrupt their peaceful existence, and science and technology
functions equally balanced with man's spiritual coefficient.
     The picture that emerges is of earthman beginning to realize that
he has the capacity to leave his nest, to move out into the stars and
regain his lost heritage, the birthright which has always been the
objective and purpose for his being. Essentially, life's purpose is to
advance one's knowledge of the principle of evolution, to integrate
                                                            3
 
 
these evolutionary principles, using both the material technology and
the spiritual technology, thus advancing both man and society on an
upward and intelligent, progressive evolution.
     Dr. Ernest L. Norman is the Cofounder of the Unarius Educational
Foundation. From 1954 to 1971, with his wife, Ruth Norman, he
pioneered the teaching of Interdimensional Physics, explaining the
evolutionary nature of atoms and man, planets and solar systems,
galaxies and universes. He authored the first twenty texts of the
curriculum of the Unarius Academy of Science - teachings which explain
the unified field theory - quantum mechanics, and the present theory
of Superstrings!
     Dr. Norman as one who has attained Cosmic Consciousness, is an
example of his teachings. Today, through the efforts of Ruth Norman
(Uriel) the present Director of the Unarius Academy of Science, the
curriculum has expanded to over 100 texts, adding immense knowledge to
the reality of Consciousness and of its continuity after the
completion of the cycle of physical life (or death).
     The account of Dr. Norman's psychic trip to Mars proves the
science of fourth dimensional physics - the principle of mental
attunement. It is hoped that the reader will continue in his desire to
advance himself as well, to attain those abilities that lie within but
needs to be called to his attention and developed.
     In 1977, Ruth Norman tuned in psychically to the underground
cities on planet Mars, in thirty-three separate visions. This book
titled THE UNDERGROUND CITIES OF MARS is a continuation and
explanation of the truth about Mars, as it includes the realizations
and flashbacks presented in the testimonials of persons who remembered
their own experiences when they contacted the Martian civilization.
     This work is an exciting and telling account of the
interplanetary contact of Earth and Mars, knowledge which will
validate the reality of interplanetary travel and of the
extraterrestrial nature of earth civilizations.

                   A Word About the Author
     Just fifty years ago in a small town in northern Utah, Ernest L.
Norman made his debut into this planet Earth. It was apparent right
from the first that he was an unusual child. His mother nearly died in
the process of his introduction, because of the abnormally large head.
It is said he had the body of an eight pound child, but weighed over
twelve pounds!
     Before he was hardly two, he was experimenting with writing and
long before he went to school for the first time, he was quite
familiar with the English language; so much so, he was reading his
father's Library. His father, incidentally, was a very learned man, of
royal Norwegian descent and had degrees in law, psychology, physiology
and phrenology.
     The author was the fifth of eight boys and girls, all strong lads
and lassies and it was quite natural for them to resent having a
brother who was so studious.
     At the tender age of five he constructed his first microscope
using the eyepiece section from his father's telescope, and by
                                                            4
 
 
inserting it in a wooden frame made from a cigar box and a small piece
of mirror, he was able to count the hairs on earthworms. The Truth
About Mars
     At the age of six he performed an unusual and prodigious feat.
Using his knowledge of Archimedean laws of fulcrums, levers and
rollers, he moved an 8 x 12 foot coal shed containing one-half a ton
of coal over a distance of approximately 200 feet, through an apple
orchard and over soft ground to a new and more convenient location.
This feat took him about three weeks to accomplish and was one which
would have taxed the strength and endurance of a strong man. This
accomplishment was carefully noted day by day, by his father who would
boastingly report the progress made to the townspeople.
     It was also at this early period of life, that he constructed a
rabbit hutch which was vastly superior in design and workmanship to
one constructed by an adult neighbor more than six times his age. This
he did, using old rusted out, discarded tools.
     Another time, at the age of seven, he bested his father in an
argument i.e., that all energy was electronic. At present he is
completely vindicated inasmuch as science today is resolving into this
conclusion.
     During his early teens-age years in junior and senior high
school, he established several new "high water" marks in biology,
genetics, science, etc., and won several noteworthy citations as well
as attracting some interest from his teachers.
     It is estimated that at the age of fourteen, he had a vocabulary
of about sixty thousand words! It was easy to see then, that this boy,
who in winter time read almost continuously or dreamed the summer away
watching nature, had not wasted or played his time away as most lads
are wont to do.
     At the age of seventeen, his family moved to California and
temporarily, at least, formal school was finished. But he persisted,
even taking night classes in various subjects. At the age of twenty-
three, and just before the depression, he married and remained so for
fourteen years.
     During this time, he became very active in radio and electronics.
It was his wife who always said they had the best radios in the
neighborhood and they were always hand constructed.
     After World War Two, he devoted himself to his lifetime dream,
metaphysics, and became an ordained minister in an occult science
church. From the very start, in this work, it became evident he
possessed an outstanding clairvoyant development and, during the war
years, demonstrated this talent not only in churches and lecture
halls, but in almost any place opportunity presented itself and
achieved no small measure of fame in this capacity.
     However, it is his ambition at this time and has been for many
years, to fill in the gaps in our scientific and spiritual
philosophies of the world, and to set up a new and integrated
philosophy of life.
     With this most outstanding ability of clairvoyance, coupled with
a tremendous grasp of scientific knowledge, he is very humble and
unpretentious, refusing to attach the stigma of self to whatever comes
through the channel of his mind and is ever aware of attunement with
the Superconscious.
                                                            5
 
 
     On the forehead of the author is a large welt, in a perfect
raised circle. This becomes activated at times when he is inspired or
attuned, as though it is a necessary factor in making contact,
mentally, with the intelligences of other dimensions or on other
planets.  Another strange phenomenon is the nail holes in the palms of
his hands, which appeared physically during a psychic working out with
his previous life in Jerusalem and the crucifixion and are most surely
points of great interest in showing that he is indeed a most unusual
soul, mentally and spiritually and has reached a very rare, if ever
duplicated, state of consciousness through his countless thousands of
lifetimes of endeavor in these fields.
     Many very miraculous healings have come through Dr. Norman. His
conscious mind is able to contact the Superconscious which can tune
into the past experiences and past lives of the individuals to
actually locate and view the experience in a former life which is
responsible for the present illness; thus being able to eliminate or
neutralize the impinging vortex  from the psychic body of the
individual by mental and spiritual means. Many wonderful healings and
permanent cures have thusly been achieved.
     The Spiritual Science of Unarius which is used is not one of
happenstance or guesswork but his ability to tap, in a scientific way,
the energies of the Infinite. Just so surely, those same powers and
energies are ever present to keep us well, vital and at peace when we
align ourselves into them.

                          ______________
                             PREFACE
     A few months ago the astronomical and astrophysical world was
tremendously excited by the approaching conjunction of the earth with
the planet. Mars. (This article being written in May, 1955, refers to
the conjunction of Mars with the earth at the turn of the year 1954 to
1955). Many prominent astronomical authorities hoped to settle once
and for all time, the old controversial issues about this planet;
i.e., were there canals or were there not canals on Mars and was this
planet inhabited by some form of man, So far as can be ascertained,
the results of these investigations, after thousands of photographs of
the planet and numerous controversies, was that some groups were even
more firmly intrenched in their original ideas, while others became
more confused than ever. In an over-all sense, it can be said that
they arrived at no definite conclusion whatever nor will any new
conclusions that may be arrived at have, by the same token, any more
validity than the original concepts (see addenda).
     Therefore any new attempt at visualizing life or the canals on
Mars resolves into the realm of clairvoyance and not by the making of
bigger and more powerful telescopes. The two hundred inch telescope at
Mt. Palomar has, in a sense, merely increased the size of the Universe
for man rather than brought it closer to him. Now, just in case the
term clairvoyant should arouse any antagonism or question in some
persons, let us digress a moment to explain just what is meant by the
word clairvoyance.
                                                            6
 
 
     Clairvoyance (or the development of the sixth sense) is only
another word for extrasensory perception taking place within the
consciousness of man rather than through the reactionary physical
senses such as physical sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste.
Practically everyone on this earth has had or will, at some time, be
in a semi or momentarily clairvoyant state. Anyone having a so-called
hunch or premonition is momentarily in such a state. At the great Duke
University, Dr. Rhine, in his fifty years of research on
parapsychology has definitely established the facts and truths of
extrasensory perception. There are numerous societies, associations
and organizations, national and international, whose many years of
work have proven beyond a doubt that man does have, and can also
develop, this extra sense or clairvoyance, sometimes called the sixth
sense.
     Any doubting Thomas can, if he is open minded enough, find in a
short time, an overwhelming mass of evidence to support this truth. In
an advanced state of clairvoyance, an individual sees and lives in a
state of consciousness which "tunes" him in, as it were, to past or
future events, places and happenings, distance being no barrier. Such
an awareness or consciousness is almost as real as the everyday
objects around him. Any particular electrical or mechanical device,
such as the television set will demonstrate to some extent the nature
of this conception.
     A savage in the jungle would immediately be confounded were he
presented with the appearance of some of our every day appliances. He
would quite likely, in his failure to understand or conceive, throw up
his hands and deny the whole thing. He would, in a sense, be like the
farmer who saw the giraffe for the first time, exclaiming that ``there
is no such animal!"
     It is, as it has always been, the great lack of ability to form
new concepts which has always caused man to throw up his hands, and
cry out loudly against the appearance of any new thought, or
mechanical or electrical contrivance. This is also quite true of most
of our modern day scientists, whether he is a man of medicine, of
chemistry or of astronomy.  Therefore it is up to individuals who have
developed this extra sense or clairvoyance, to fill in the obvious
gaps in our many branches of science as well as in some of the more
firmly established spiritual concepts.
     In writing an article of this kind, no effort is being made to
prove what I have found and believe is true. Truth is entirely
independent of the individual. After my thirty five years of active
research in the fields of electronics, physics, astrophysics,
parapsychology and their allied and associated sciences, I have
succeeded in correlating and establishing an integrated concept, which
when combined with a natural and highly developed clairvoyance gives,
to a practically perfect degree, a direct mental contact not only with
person to person upon this earth, but in contacting individuals living
on other planets. This is in a sense, what can be called conscious
astral flight; inasmuch as I see the cities and the people and hear
the individuals, as they now exist on other planets. No mechanical
devices are used, nor is any particularly advanced degree of trance
state entered into, maintaining conscious continuity and being able to
quote at the time, just what is taking place both audibly and visibly,
at all times.

                   _____________________________
                     CONTACT WITH PLANET MARS
 
     Since the dawn of time and the beginning of man's history on this
planet, the starry skies have always been something of not only great
and wondrous beauty, but also filled with mystery and awe. The
histories of the ancient times contain numerous references to the sun,
the moon and the many bright stars and planets. Man has worshipped
these heavenly bodies as deities or gods. Quite often the very nature
of the religious beliefs of the peoples were woven around these
mystical heavenly orbs. Naturally there has been a great deal of
conjecture as to life and the existence of man in some form on some of
these bright specks of light. This `is especially true of the moon and
of the planets of our solar system. Men like Copernicus, Galileo,
Plato, etc., all speculated on this possibility.
     During the last twenty-five years or so, there has been a
tremendous impetus given to astronomical interests; perhaps this is
partly due to the approach of the conclusion of a great cycle and the
actual beginning of the Aquarian age. There are numerous monthly
publications which deal in a fictional way with interplanetary travel
and life on other planets. There likewise are other articles and
stories which have appeared from time to time dealing with flying
saucers and space ships, etc., which claim to be true, and as a small
lad I shared this common interest in the heavens. Often I would peer
through my father's telescope (which was of very modest power) at the
moon or other bright points of interest;  winter nights would often be
devoted to pouring over any book or article containing anything of
astronomical nature.
     It was not, however, until the close of World War II and the
sudden influx of flying saucer stories, that time and circumstances
permitted resuming this fascinating subject.  Along  with
metaphysical work which I did both in churches and independently, the
planets, space travel, etc., all became an integrated part of this
work.
     It was inevitable that sooner or later I should actually take a
"flight" to some planet, not that this would be done in a rocket or
some such machine; man has not progressed to such an advanced state of
engineering as yet. So any such trips would be in a clairvoyant state.
I am not the only one by far, who has had such experiences; the
persons both known and unknown who have made such flights and contacts
are too numerous to mention at this time. I might add that much of
what is written in the following pages has since been corroborated by
some of these persons, without my previously having read any articles
so written by them.
     It has been my consistent habit to spend an hour or so of the
late evening time in meditation. During these hours I have made
innumerable contacts with those who have passed from this plane of
existence. However no serious attempt at interplanetary contact was
tried until the second month of the year of 1955. At that time I began
to be increasingly aware that something like this was being attempted
by the peoples of other planets. One evening, about the first part of
May, of this year, while in a deep meditative state, I suddenly
                                                            8
 
 
perceived a rather strange looking man standing before me. At first I
thought him to be Chinese, as his dress arid general appearance was
somewhat similar to that of a man of ancient China. After introducing
himself as Nur El, however, he quickly explained he was from the
planet Mars, and that if I so desired, I could go there with him, to
his city (in astral flight) and that he would be my personal guide. He
explained that his people were very desirous in view of all the
controversy going on, to clear up some of the so-called mysteries of
Mars. He further assured me that it was quite obvious that a complete
understanding was not possible in one visitation; therefore as the
first contact was made, it would be comparatively easy to establish
other contacts, as was convenient and necessary. Since this first
contact and trip was made, I have returned on several occasions; in
fact, Nur El often stood beside me as I wrote, to further clear up, or
refresh my memory regarding any details which were not entirely clear.
     Now I will contact my Martian guide and take an astral flight
through space, and see just how it is that man lives on the red
planet. Almost immediately a very distinguished looking man stands
before me; he is Nur El, a man of high position and esteem from one of
the Martian cities. He is dressed in a very brilliant red suit. The
coat is long, almost to the knees, with loose fitting pantiloons. On
his head is a red hat with a square shaped brim that is turned up on
four sides.
     Our trip there is a matter of split seconds as no craft is used
or needed. Arriving on the surface of Mars, we are at once aware of
the extremely rugged terrain, rocky hills and sandy wastes, that
stretches out endlessly around us. There are many peculiar whirling
dust clouds all about. Nur El explains that the ionosphere is very
thin which leaves the surface almost unprotected from the various
beta, gamma and cosmic rays. This high concentration of rays ionizes
the very rare and gaseous atmosphere and together with the thermal
currents, creates terrific dust storms. There is also a very thinly
divided dust layer on the ionosphere which helps create the reddish
appearance of the planet. There are also a number of volcanos, three
of which are of major size; one of these was just barely visible on
the horizon trailing a thin wisp of smoke from its truncated cone. It
was also explained that as Mars has only seven degrees axis
inclination there is not much of a seasonal change. Water is very
scarce on this arid planet; most of the precipitation falls at the
poles. Vegetation is also scarce. There are a few varieties of
prickly-cacti looking plants. Also near the polar ice caps, grows a
very luxuriant green alga-like plant that follows the melting snow
line. This spongy growth often attains a height (or depth) of forty to
fifty feet. It appears and disappears with the season as it grows
tremendously rapidly, and it also disintegrates very fast.
     There are also a number of species of lizards, reptiles and of
some insects whose hard shells have enabled them to weather the
extreme atmospheric conditions and among them are giant ants which
walk semi-erect on the two hind feet. The guide tells me these are
mutants which were accidently produced from a small ant in an atomic
experiment ages ago. They are similar to humans in a very low state of
intelligence and at one time it became necessary to make war on them,
as they became so numerous and large. These strange ant creatures
average two to four feet in height and live in rocky caves. But we did
                                                            9
 
 
not tarry long on the surface I followed my guide to a rather strange
looking rock. Then, taking a small whistle from his coat pocket, he
blew one note and although I heard nothing, the rock immediately swung
open disclosing a car-like elevator. We entered and, after the door
closed, I had the familiar dropping sensation of our own modern
elevators. The trip down took but a few seconds, and, upon stopping, I
stepped forth into what was my first glimpse of a Martian city.
     I was immediately impressed by the soft white light that seemed
to come from everywhere. We were standing near the entrance of a large
tube. On Mars the cities are all underground and are connected
together by huge oval metal tubes from three to five hundred feet in
diameter. There are monorail cars as long as our pullman trains which
glide silently and very swiftly from one city to another. The bottoms
of these immense tubes are used for parks, growing foodstuffs and
innumerable small manufacturing plants.
     Because of the great distances between the cities, these tubes
have been built only partially submerged. There are emergency air
locks and bulkheads at the ends where they connect to the domes; other
safety and precautionary measures areused to protect the cities and
tunnels in case of breakdowns or outside attack. It is these tubes
which have confused the astronomers on the earth. Some believe them to
be canals. There are also other theories. The shifting desert sands
often cover or uncover them which leads to further confusion inasmuch
as they seem to appeal' and disappear.
     Turning about and looking down into the city is an unforgettable
experience. Like all cities on Mars, it is built on the floor of a
huge metal dome. These domes are sometimes four or five miles in
diameter, and up to three thousand feet high. They are constructed of
huge curved trusses of a whitish metal, seemingly of a magnesium
compound. These trusses are covered with a metal top and bottom and
the space in between filled with a plastic foam similar to the
construction of the houses. This also gives added protection from the
various cosmic rays as well as sealing in the precious air supply.
Underneath the roof is an inner shell or a second false shell which is
composed of sheets of pale blue plastic. This is suspended from
brackets from the dome at a distance of about six feet; in this space
are the many thousands of fluorescent tubes which make up the lighting
system and they reflect downward the soft radiant light which I first
noticed. I was told this light is very similar to a modified sunlight,
and is very healthful and stimulating to plant life, as well as to the
people. As these domes are built in the bottom of excavations, the
sands soon drift over them and cover them up, giving added protection
from the strong surface rays.
 
 
                   ___________________________
                     The Underground Cities
                           of Mars
 
     The cities are laid out like a wheel. The center hub is a very
large circular structure which houses the various municipal and civic
governmental departments.  Underground is a very large atomic power
plant for supplying the cities' needs. The streets stretch away from
the hub like spokes, and at regular intervals circular streets are
                                                            10
 
 
intersected; this is similar to our national capital. The streets
which radiate from the hub rise at a very gentle rate of inclination.
The houses and other buildings are built on low elevations which rise
like tiers. `Walking up one of these streets gives one the impression
of walking on air, as the paving is of a springy plastic material in a
very soft shade of green. Stopping to inspect some of the houses, I am
nearly overwhelmed by their wondrous beauty, simplicity and charm. In
every small, vacant space in the streets and grounds around the houses
are growing plants. These are mostly fruits and vegetables. They are
planted in metal troughs and other containers. The soil is a mixture
of natural and artificial plant humus and moss. The houses and
buildings are semi-prefabricated in a wide variety of plastic of
pastel shades. The walls are formed of two sheets of thin plastic
about two inches apart. After the walls are fastened together, a
liquid foam like plastic material is injected or blown in between the
walls. After this hardens, it gives the whole structure tremendous
strength. This hardened plastic foam acts also as a good insulator.
     There is no problem of heat or cold in a Martian city, with an
abundance of atomic power. The whole city is air conditioned, free
from dust and fumes, and is maintained at a constant temperature of
about 68 degrees.  Huge electronic pumps suck in and filter the thin
outside air and raise the pressure to about seven pounds per square
inch. It also strengthens the overhead dome structure by pushing out
uniformly at all points simultaneously.
     As the outside atmosphere is very rare and of a low oxygen
content, the Martian cities are becoming less and less dependent on
that source of air supply. Many thousands of years ago they learned
how to obtain air from water by electrolysis. They also make a great
effort to create great underground reservoirs near the ice caps to
drain off and store any surplus surface water which also, along with
the oxygen, has become increasingly rare through the centuries.
     At the present time, scientists on Mars are learning to make air
and water synthetically out of other elements. They have also explored
every possible existing subterranean river or lake and have added much
to the dwindling water supply by some important discoveries. It is
estimated that, with careful conservation, they will have enough water
for several thousand years, during which time other means will have
been arrived at for solving this problem.
. . .
     All buildings are supplied with electric power from the central
power plant. The power is radiated over ultra high frequency beams
which crisscross the streets, and are relayed by smaller substations.
On top of each building is a split ball-like antenna which intercepts
these power beams, bringing power down onto a small secondary radiator
which in turn radiates the power through the building, lighting the
lights, operating the various motors, etc. These are, of course, all
constructed very differently than the motors and electric lights on
earth, which are large, clumsy and very inefficient by comparison.
     Window glass is a polarized material which transmits light one
way, from outside in, which gives privacy without the problem of shade
and drapes. A simple metal folding shutter is sometimes drawn across
the window to shut out the light when sleeping, etc. Furniture in the
home is very simple and is contoured to the body and is made of metal
and plastic. The houses are not overly furnished as are so many of
                                                            11
 
 
earth homes, yet there is sufficient for comfort in a simple fashion.
Rugs are a plastic foam-like material which is springy and resilient
with no dusty nap. Various colors are used and slightly raised designs
which give variety and charm to the lovely over-all appearance. The
kitchens would be a delight to the earth woman; all cooking is done in
an oven which is built in a wall cabinet. The oven is operated on high
frequencies which cook all foods in a matter of a very few minutes,
or, in most cases only a few seconds.   After dinner, the dish-washing
is a very quick and simple process. The dishes are placed in a metal
cabinet, a dial set, and after a few minutes all are clean and
sparkling; no water is used. Instead, streams of electronic energy of
some sort does the job. The dishes are made of a plastic like material
which is repellent to soil.
     The bathroom is also quite different. The stool appears or
disappears in the wall as needed. Disposal is efficiently taken care
of by electrolysis. Very little water apparently is used. Bathing is
done in a small booth where an atomized spray of pleasant smelling
liquid is sprayed on the body and wiped off with a very absorbent
towel. Here also, no water is used. There is also some kind of energy
ray used which stimulates and leaves the body very refreshed. Teeth
are cleaned with a sort of electronic brush which is a metal rod on a
handle. Moving it around the teeth directs a flow of energy which
cleans and stimulates the teeth and gums. I Very little of the
normally expected house cleaning is done in a Martian home;  all
interior surfaces are dirt repellent and, as the air is  normally very
clean and inasmuch as there is no smoking,  frying or similar soot
producers, the homes are very clean and  spotless.
     Mounting a flight of stairs to the roof, we emerge onto a
typical Martian garden. The roofs of these homes are flat and  planted
with a wide variety of fruits, vegetables and flowers.  Each home
grows quite a lot of the normal supply of foodstuff  it consumes. They
take great pride in these roof gardens and  frequently engage in
friendly competition in contests between  neighbors in an attempt to
raise the most beautiful displays  of horticulture.
. . .
     Now I understood why the streets slanted up and the lack  of
stores and commercial buildings, for here stretched out  before me was
a huge shopping center, which in some odd way  reminded me of one of
our annual state fairs. Up and down and  around were streets and
aisles with shops and booths  displaying the many articles of clothing
and food familiar to  the Martian way of life. There was however,
noticeable  differences: little or no advertising was used, the shop
owner  sat or stood quietly by or worked on various articles he (or
she) sold. A quaint system of barter and exchange is generally
prevalent although some form of script, currency similar to a
department store charge-a-plate, is also used. Martians are
inherently honest; stealing is almost unknown. Consequently  there is
no need to accumulate more than is needed, for they  do not have the
fear of insecurity. There is no price haggling  over various
transactions. Some sections have mechanical  automat-like dispensers
in which a keyed charge-a-plate is  inserted and withdrawn after the
article is discharged.  Another curious feature of these market places
are the  escalator sidewalks; on several of the main thorofares were
double tracks, one coming and one going, with a small bench-like
                                                            12
 
 
seat to sit on. A person merely stepped on, sat down and  was moved
slowly up and down in front of the various stalls or  shops.
Everywhere I turned to look I saw happy, smiling faces  with none of
that taut, drawn look that is so prevalent in our  cities.  In between
these market centers, much space is  devoted to the cultivation of
various crops, one of which is a  grain very similar to millet. There
is also a species of rice  which grows with very little moisture. It
seems that many of  these plant crops have been evolved through a
Luther Burbank-  like process to a point where they require the
absolute  minimum of water.
     No heavy manufacturing is done in these cities, but there  are
several domes which are devoted to, and used almost  exclusively for,
this type of work. But time was slipping by,  and reluctantly I
followed my guide to another elevator and we  ascended back to the
main level.
     As we walked along one of the streets I could not help  but feel
overawed by the beauty of all the things around me: the lovely homes
and roof gardens, the landscaped parkways  growing lush with fruits
and flowers, the peace and quiet  which was everywhere. I looked
curiously at some of those who  were passing by, although I do not
believe they could see me  in my astral state; at least if they did
so, they gave no  indication that they were being rudely stared at,
and I  assumed their smiles and greetings were meant for Nur El. I
did not see any indication of the use of any cosmetics on the  women's
faces. Their eyes were quite large and black with a  distinct slant,
the skin was wax-like and beautifully colored,  lips red and well
shaped, which in all left nothing to be  desired in any external
adornment.
     There are other things which were noticeable by their  absence':
there is no smoking, the use of tobacco being  unheard of. Nur el
chuckled when I asked about this, stating  that such a practice was
grown up thumb sucking and was a  habit belonging only to those who
were not completely weaned.  The drinking of alcoholic beverages is
also unknown.  The people of Mars are smaller than those on earth,
only  averaging about four feet six inches in height. They are
somewhat Mongolian in appearance. The texture of the skin is  very
fine and soft, while the hair is usually straight, black,  and quite
fine. The men do not need to shave for they have  eradicated
electronically, the growth of hair from their faces  when still young.
The Martians are a quiet peace-loving  people. Their clothing is
simple with long loose flowing  lines, with nothing to bind them, in
many brilliant colors  including many shades we know not. All clothing
is made of  synthetic materials as no natural fibers are grown.
 
 
                ______________________________
                  THE MARTIAN - CHINESE LINK
 
     Martians are much older in soul-evolution than the  earthians.
They originally migrated in space craft to Mars  from a dying planet
more than a million years ago. They also  came to this earth and
started a colony but found it  impractical to maintain. It was also
explained by Nur El that  this colony became our Chinese race through
the evolution of  time.
                                                            13
 
 
     The great space-ships in their intercourse with the  planet Mars
established a series of six colonies, stretching  from the lower
planes of China into the more northern reaches,  around what is now
known as Peking in the northern provinces  of China. There was in
existence at that time descendents of  the Aryan race who lived as
Mongols or Tartars, as they are  called in your history books.  These
were mostly very fierce  roving bands of nomads, who now roam the
desert regions of the  Gobi Desert. It is with these races of people
that the  original Martian settlers had so much trouble. The people
from  Mars had progressed to the point where they disliked intensely
to kill their fellow being; and while they had weapons which  could
thoroughly and completely decimate these nomadic tribes,  yet they
refrained from doing so!  They relied more upon the  evolution of
time, as would be of such circumstance that these  tribes would absorb
some of the wisdom and knowledge.  However, this was not so; in the
numerous raids which they  made upon these settlements, they
frequently captured both  male and female prisoners; and as the
females bore children to  these Mongols and Tartars, the Martian
colonists became  somewhat infused into the racial characteristics of
these  people.  However, for the most part, the various dynasties of
the Chinese Empire can be traced directly back to the Martian  line.
. . .
     Cancer and many other so-called incurable diseases are  removed
or corrected using an advanced electronic healing  process. It was
also explained, that in all cases, the patient  was given a psychic
diagnosis which correctly locates the true  originating cause, as a
psychic pressure or shock, incurred in  either the present life or in
some previous lifetime.  (Extended psychosomatics). Mental disorders,
while rare, yield  quickly to this treatment which quickly removes or
rectifies  these malformed vortices, or thought wave patterns which
have  been incurred in the subconscious or psychic body. There are  no
jails or prisons; crime is considered a mental disorder and  treated
thusly. Such treatment is kept secret and not  exploited as we do,
therefore there is no deflation of the  ego. There is no pain or shock
or lengthy doctoring. Usually  the patient is home in a matter of
hours. . . . Passing through this laboratory the guide went further
into  the problems of birth control and sex. He stated that children
are limited to usually, two to a family so as to prevent  overcrowding
and a lessening of an advanced family  relationship. The ratio of
births usually determined by the  death rate average.  Sex relations
are very sacred and  considered a great creative gift. There are none
of the usual  sexual stimulants such as advertising, spiced heavy
foods  etc., which tend to overexcite the people of earth.
Consequently, sex assumes its rightful place in the life of  the
Martians.
     These people have a basic spiritual concept which teaches  them
from birth, the importance of love of one another and  finding their
greatest joys of life in doing for each other,  not doing each other.
I did not see any of our familiar  churches and steeples; it was
explained to me that there are  none. Worship is not a pagan-like
bowing down to some mythical  god (or gods), but a twice daily
observance to the Great  Infinite Creative Source, and there is a once
weekly community  observance giving thanks to this Source.
                                                            14
 
 
     Other Spiritual aspects of Martian life include  communications
with those who have passed into the spirit  world; in fact, every
Martian considers his spirit friends and  relatives a part of his
daily life. No doubt our Chinese have  derived their ancestor worship
from this source.
     The Martians have also developed reincarnation to a point  where
it forms an integral part of their lives; they plan for  a future time
when they will relive a new life among old  friends and relatives.
Many children frequently identify  themselves as former loved ones.
 
 
                 ______________________
                    Martian Education
 
     Soon after the birth of a child, all the potential  mental
faculties and quotients were determined by an  electronic diagnosis
and any criminal or negative  characteristics were removed by a
radiant energy process. The  child was further conditioned against
such recurrence. There  are no public schools.
     The child is taught to a large extent in his sleep by a  "Z-ray"
which imparts the lessons or knowledge directly into  his subconscious
mind. This ray can be likened somewhat to a  radio frequency which
carries the spoken word yet is inaudible  to the ear; in this case
however, it is received and stored  for use in the child's mind.
Usually a child will have the  equivalent to a college education by
the time he has reached  the age of ten.  Such schooling is done to
bring out the best  points of character and to especially train him in
whatever  vocation he is best suited for.
      As I listened to the soft accented voice of my Martian  friend,
my mind inadvertently began to recall and compare  scenes of my earth
life with the simple quiet way I was just  beginning to glimpse and
understand. Things like the roaring  streets and highways, the stench
and smell of thousands of  cars, of hate and greed and avarice. Nur El
caught my thoughts  and for a moment stopped speaking. A slow smile
lifted the  corners of his mouth and his eyes began to twinkle. "No,"
he  said, "these people would not migrate to the earth. First they
would have to become accustomed to the difference in air  pressure,
and if this were done suddenly it might be very  dangerous, like a
diver going down beneath the water too  quickly.  " He paused a moment
then continued, "Then there  would be deadly disease germs and the
many viruses that we  here on Mars, not having had such things for
thousands of  years, have lost our resistance to."
     I could see his point but I wondered a bit as to how they  knew
so much about the earth, but patiently he explained that  there were
semi-surface observatories with electronic  telescopes as well as a
variety of radio and radar-like  devices which gave them a very good
idea of what went on  there. Besides some of the more advanced
scientists were  masters at astral flight. Even an ordinary citizen of
Mars was  quite adept at mental telepathy and this type of
communication  was used as much as speech.
     Going back into the ring shaped building, we emerged into  what
were some of the chambers used for judging or  administrative phases.
The government is of a very simple  form. I was amazed when told there
are no written laws. Each  citizen lives under a simple understanding,
                                                            15
 
 
of unwritten code.  It was a very reasonable facsimile, if not the
actual golden  rule. In other words, do for others first. If a person
acts  selfishly, or begins to steal or shows symptoms of anger, he  is
considered ill and treatment is quickly administered. Each five
families have a group leader or "Icla," as he  is called. He
represents this group and is responsible for  their general welfare.
The judges or heads of different  departments are chosen on their
merit and it is usually done  through elimination, examinations which
require a lifetime of  special training. There are no political
systems. Brains and  character alone determine a candidate's fitness
for an office.  Male and female are regarded as equal and with no
discrimination shown. There are no old age institutions in  these
Martian cities. Great respect is shown the aged and they  live with
their children until the time of passing. No doubt  the Chinese on the
earth brought this custom of respect and  veneration down through the
ages from their Martian ancestors.
      Another thing that did impress me was the wide variety  of
pictures and objects of art which were everywhere. These  people are
exceedingly artistic and almost everyone spends  some time at his
particular chosen expression decorating  screens, ceramics, furniture,
etc; all were given some  treatment whenever opportunity presented. It
was all in very  good taste, however, and most pleasing to the eye.
These  traits are quite evident in our modern Chinese.
. . .
 
                  Monorail Transportation
 
     Going through several of these offices we again emerged  into the
open air. Before us was one of the larger radial  streets; coming down
this street was what looked like a silver  gondola of some sort,
suspended from an overhead rail. Going  closer to examine this strange
craft, I found that it was  about twenty feet long.It had six or eight
bucket-like seats.  There is a rather elaborate system of control
used. All is  done, of course, electronically. There is an `eye' on
each end  to keep it spaced a reasonable distance from other cars.
Gyroscopes are used to prevent sway and it is powered by a  motor in
each flanged wheel which rides a single rail,  suspended at short
intervals by metal standards. These cars  are stopped with a single
blast of a noiseless supersonic  whistle and started after the
passengers sit down. A number of  the main radial streets have this
monorail shuttle car system.  Others used moving sidewalks, somewhat
similar to escalators.
     It seems that these people do not travel much, as  compared to
our earth people. There is, of course, considerable inner-city travel
over the monorail car system  which I saw in the tube. There is
however, a kind of  communication which renders a great deal of travel
unnecessary. This is a form of telephone, or teleview as it  could
more properly be called. Besides conversing, each party  can see the
other one through a small screen similar to our  television. This of
course, can be shut off by manipulating a  button, in the event there
is a need for privacy. Speaking of  television, their system is far
more advanced than ours; the  screen is built into the wall of the
room and is about four by five foot square. All programs are in three
dimensional color,  very lifelike and natural. Such programs are, of
                                                            16
 
 
course, the  very highest type. As there is only one channel to a
city, all  program material is produced and telecast by the people
themselves, since there is no advertising or sex intimations  but only
such things as the festivals, lectures, various stage  presentations
or musicals which take place in the central  theater. Little or no
news is broadcast and then only that  which is of a nature which would
not cause fear or restlessness.
     Music plays an important part in life here. Most of the
instruments are of the string type and are usually plucked.  There are
some reed or flute-like instruments which help give  variety. There
are none of the heavy percussive type which  form a large part of our
modern orchestras. The music itself  is, for the most part, a quaint
sing-song-like rhythm or chant  which usually depicts some story or
moral lesson; or even  historical events are portrayed.  Considerable
color is used  in the stage presentations, which gives much added
charm as  the innumerable color combinations rise and fall with the
rhythm of the chant.
     Since my initial trip, I have returned to Mars several  times and
have learned much more about this fascinating  civilization.  To those
who are proponents and ardent supporters of our free  enterprise
system, let it be said that they have a great shock  coming to them.
On Mars there is no dog-eat-dog competition  such as we, on earth, are
so familiar with. Everyone works for  the government because the
government is the people! This  highly developed socialistic system is
not to be confused with  any so-called communistic governments on
earth. The Martians  never break laws, consequently there are no laws.
They have  long ago eliminated legislative bodies. How different here!
We have a huge and vast intricate network of legislative  bodies, as
well as various branches of law enforcement. The  average American has
many thousands of laws to obey. The great  majority of, the people
either knowingly or unknowingly are  breaking laws. As fast as a way
is found to circumvent one  law, a new one is passed to prevent this!
The modern Chinese  have placed a great deal of personal value on
face; they would  rather die than lose face. This sense of personal
integrity  was brought down through the ages from their Martian
ancestors.  The average Martian has an advanced state of  conscious
personal integrity. This eliminates the ponderous  and very expensive
system of government to which we are  accustomed. There is in
consequence a vastly simplified way of  life. There are no taxes. as
this land is run like a highly  ordered non-profit  business. The
various departmental or  executive heads are all highly trained
specialists and hold  their positions because of ability and
integrity.
. . .
     From childhood they are taught to be useful and  productive.
Because of their simplified living habits, they  have more time for
self-improvement and for developing new  types of plastics, textiles,
etc. They usually limit their  meals to only two a day and even those
are very simple,  consisting primarily of vegetables and fruits, with
some  synthetic foods. The Martians are not meat eaters partly for
the reason that animal life has largely passed from existence  on
Mars, with the exception of mutants and the few obscure  species
previously mentioned, and these are inedible. The  Martian has learned
how to grow, and also to synthesize many  spices and to produce
                                                            17
 
 
artificially,  many  protein foods.  Space is not too plentiful. There
are some dwarf trees, three  to four feet high with a fruit that looks
like an orange but  has meat like that of an apple, is red skinned and
sweet. It  is called sit-yu. Some other vegetables are grown in
troughs  in long rows. These look like huge mushrooms and have a
delicious meat.
 
 
                The Harmony of Martian Life
 
     Martians are closely connected with the Venusians through
thought transference or mental telepathy. At one time,  interplanetary
travel was used, but these spacecraft are at  present stored in huge
underground hangars, and are being held  in readiness for any
emergency, such `as a sudden mass  evacuation of the population should
any unexpected need arise.
. . .
     It was explained that the science of interplanetary  travel was
something very difficult for the earth man to  understand inasmuch as
the people and the craft itself would,  in taking off, actually change
the rate of vibration of their  own and the craft's atomic structure.
Thus they would in a  sense become weightless and temporarily free of
various usual  forces such as gravitation, inertia, etc.  My guide
went on to  explain that this science of changing the atomic vibration
rates is a very advanced one, and that if the earthmen would  learn
this, it would remove all the present day obstructions  and barriers
such as materials, fuel, pressures and the  hundreds of other
hindrances to present day space travel.  At  present their experiments
have progressed to a point where a  man's body can be changed into
electrical energies, sent over  a radar beam and then changed back to
the original state; all  in a matter of a split second, and with no
pain or discomfort  to the individual.
     This no doubt sounds fantastic. Nowadays it is only the  ignorant
mam who scoffs at any new ideas, and no doubt there  will be those who
will be unable to believe these truths; but  it does not matter, since
that still does not alter the facts.  Just fifty years ago they were
laughing at the Wright brothers  - and think of what has been invented
and improved and brought  into use since that time. No less so in the
future. The things  of science which are commonplace in the Martian
way of life  could well become a part of ours in some future day.
     I was informed that the Martians understand what is  happening to
the earth people and its veritable rat race, and  they are very
desirous of aiding through mental telepathy to  inspire as many of the
earthians as are receptive to their  ways for the advancement of
mankind and the improvement of  conditions on this planet, and within
man himself.  Until man  realizes the great over-balance on the
material side and gains  the necessary spiritual knowledge we cannot
hope to be  harmonious with the other more advanced planets. They say
that  it is realized only too well that they must not interfere with
the evolution or progress of man on earth to any great extent,  for it
would not be in keeping with God's immutable law of  individual soul
progress.
     The scientists of Mars have informed me that our  telescopes, in
the photographing process, are subject to error  and do not get
                                                            18
 
 
refraction but infraction. Sometimes the light  rays, or vibrations as
they are more properly called, are at  times subjected to distortions,
or bendings, in their flight  through space, due to the proximity of
some other planetary  body. Because  of the conjunction of magnetic
lines of force,  the astronomer does not always get a true picture of
what he  thinks he is seeing. Also the planet Mars, on the outside of
its surface, has a tremendously charged shell. While it is  invisible
to the eye, this  can cause great distortions in  light-ray
frequencies.
     And so the time has come, at least for the present, to  return to
our more familiar planet earth, and I do so  reluctantly, for there
are still many more facets of life on  (rather in) Mars of which I
have only a slight understanding.  I would like to learn more of their
various customs,  celebrations and observances. Obviously it cannot
all be taken  in during only a few trips. I cannot recall a single
instance  of this  most fascinating and interesting experience of my
visits to Mars without a deep feeling of awe, reverence and  gratitude
to this very fine person who calls himself Nur El  for giving so
unselfishly of his time and efforts in  explaining so many things
about the planet, its people,  manners, etc.
     There is also a grave concern by these people about our
destructive downhill way of life. We are creating and breeding  a race
of psychopathic misfits I in our highly specialized,  mechanical
world. The people are becoming robots. They cannot  sleep for
nightmares from fear and insecurity. Their days an  endless succession
of almost frantic scurrying, or worse, a  robot-like existence of
work, sleep, and work. On every hand  flagrant psychological and
sexual stimulants are used for  advertisements suggestion is used to
hammer home these cheap  and malicious messages until the brain
becomes numb and  neurotic. Exploitation of the masses has become a
highly  specialized science, ruthless and cold-blooded, running the
gamut from charity to vice.
     On the other hand there are almost equally frantic  attempts
being made by various religious groups, churches,  individuals, etc.,
to portray in some way to the great masses  the grave dangers
confronting them.  These efforts are  pitifully small and weak.
Moreover, these efforts are not  above suspicion, for there are, here
as elsewhere, many  charlatans.

                   _______________________________
                       The Supernova Connection
 
     It was intimated in the foregoing pages that it was quite
obvious that it would require several trips to gain a  comprehensive
understanding of the Martian way of life, and  that therefore, I would
quite likely, from time to time, make  similar visits or flights.
Since concluding the last pages,  Nur El has made contact several
times and has given or shown  me pertinent information regarding
several issues which I  would like to clear up. In case some of you
are wondering just  as I did, what caused his people to go underground
and why  they do not migrate to some other planet since they have all
the necessary craft to do so. Nur El explained all this by  first
saying that Mars was, up until about 100,000 years ago,  a planet very
                                                            19
 
 
similar to the earth. There was air, water, and  an abundance of plant
and animal life. The cities flourished  on the surface just as ours
do. At that time, through their  occult science and also with their
superior telescopes they  saw, somewhere out in space, a cataclysm
take place. One of  the giant suns suddenly went berserk, flared up
like a nova  and then exploded in a terrific blinding flash. Huge
chunks  hurtled out into space in different directions, each one a
smaller, white-hot, atomically-burning sun, shooting off great
streamers of atomic energies. It was determined by  calculations, that
one of these fiery pieces would pass very  close to our solar system.
As it was larger than our own sun,  it was conceivable that there
would be tremendous  repercussions; in fact, anything was possible.
Because of its  great size it would have a tremendous gravitational
pull,  besides giving off great energies. It was also determined, as
light traveled much faster in space than this huge chunk, that  it
would pass our solar system. This therefore gave the  Martians a grace
period for preparation. They had, however, a  choice: to stay on Mars
or to migrate to another planet far  away from this solar system.
After a search of the nearby,  practical limits of the heavens, it was
found that there was  no other planet available which would be
suitable. So an  alternative was decided upon. They could build huge
cities  underground! During the next two hundred years or so, an
almost frantic building program was assiduously pursued. We  can well
imagine some of the problems, the sacrifices, and the  labor and
research which went into this tremendous project,  but it was finally
accomplished. In due time all was snug and  ship-shape as possible.
Buried deep under many feet of rock  and earth, in their newly
constructed dome-like cities, the  people of Mars waited for the final
hours. Day by day they  watched the white glowing mass of light grow
larger and  larger. There was no really accurate way by which to
measure  how close it would pass or just how hot it would be. No doubt
many thought it would be the end!
     Finally the hour struck. Nur El stated that for eight  days the
planet was rocked, torn and twisted as great forces  blasted and
ripped the surface. Plant and animal life  disappeared almost
entirely, except for the few species which  escaped by being buried or
in caves. The air and water too,  were largely dissipated or drawn off
with the passing nova.  When it was over, Mars was decimated and
burned to a cinder.
     Other planets also suffered. On earth there were great
earthquakes and tidal waves. A great continent and  civilization,
called Lemuria, sank beneath the sea. Great  deserts were burned into
the surface in places which were  formerly beautiful forests and
plains.  The Sahara and Gobi  deserts were two of these.  Earth's
orbit and axis (or the  poles) were also changed. Instead of a
circular orbit Earth  was rocked into an elliptical orbit, with the
addition of a  very slight but definite wobble or oscillation, which
it has  never lost. Uranus and Pluto was pushed out into an orbit much
further away from the sun. Neptune suffered a similar fate although
not quite so pronounced. It is conceivable that the other planets were
also affected according to their size and  position at the time of the
passing of this huge celestial  "atom bomb."  No doubt the knowledge
of this cataclysm will  clear up some of the mysteries of Earth's
history which have  been puzzling the seekers of truth for many years.
                                                            20
 
 
. . .
 
     Our present civilization, good as it is in some respects,  leaves
much to be desired. It has been the purpose of Nur El,  the people of
Mars and myself to bring you some understanding  of their ways of
life, hoping thus to bring about, not only  among the nations of the
world, but future interplanetary  relationships which are harmonious
and conducive to a better  way of life.
 
 
     We all salute you and wish you infinite love, wisdom and peace.
 
 
 Appendix
 
     Shortly after writing this article there appeared in the
Saturday Review, on May 28, 1955, an article written by Dr.  Robert S.
Richardson, astronomer at Mount Palomar, which  refers to the findings
of the International Committee on Mars,  which closed its fourth
conference on March 25, 1955. There  are several interesting
statements made, on which I will  comment.  Mr. Richardson states the
consensus of opinion is  that there is life on Mars, or that it could
exist. This is at  least some progress in the right direction. Also he
is quite  correct about the deserts. Most of the surface of this
planet  is semi-arid wastelands.  It is however, incorrect to say
there is no oxygen there.
     The presence of the green maria, which he calls sponge-  like
algae, proves the presence of oxygen, although in a  comparatively
rare state. As everyone knows, oxygen is  necessary in the breathing
cycle of any plant which contains  chlorophyll (oxygen on Mars is
about 10% of the density of the  earth's oxygen) as was stated in the
aforementioned article.  This sponge-like algae is found growing along
the edges of the  snow banks and often attains a height of forty to
fifty feet.  It dries up with the vanishing of the snow caps and re-
grows the following spring.
     What the doctor states regarding water on Mars is very  true. It
is very scarce and the people of the underground  cities take great
pains to conserve every gallon of it.
     As to the temperatures. that is still a matter of  conjecture. It
is a very tricky business to measure heat over  thirty-five millions
of miles distance. Moreover, surface  temperatures do not affect the
inhabitants of the underground  cities, as they are completely
pressurized and conditioned  with temperatures maintained at a
comfortable level.
     The most surprising part of the entire article was that  there
was absolutely no mention of the famous canals  of Mars.  I wonder
what happened to them? These canals were for many  years a great
controversial  subject. The photograph in this  article does not show
them, but this is perhaps explained by  the fact that this photo was
taken with infra-red light film.  It may be that the savants at Mt.
Palomar would like to  explain this.
     It is of questionable value that the writer interjected  such a
material angle as real estate. It seems it would have  been wise to
confine the remarks within the domain of science  and leave this
                                                            21
 
 
problem up to some of our great promoters in  that future day of
landing. It might also be that the Martians  would resent our tearing
up their planet.
     It is also probable that in that future day when man does  have
space travel to Mars, he will be able to take his wife or  loved ones
along. Landing there will be somewhat like taking a  plane to a far
off city on this planet. On arriving on Mars  the space ship will be
taxied into a huge airlock. The  passengers will disembark and find
hotels and accommodations  in a similar fashion as on earth. (Assuming
of course that  such factors as freedom from germ life, health,
adaptability  to lower air pressures, etc., have been fully
compensated  for.)
     It is unfortunate indeed that the astronomers of today  take such
a dim view of the possibility of life on other  planets. They should
be in a position to know better than  anyone else. Does it not seem a
bit preposterous to assume  that in all the countless billions of
suns, star clusters.  galaxies. etc. and their associated planetary
systems, that  earth and Mars clone are inhabited?
     Perhaps we should refer to Jesus of Nazareth when he  stated
that, "In my Father's house are many mansions.'
     In that distant day when space travel is a reality, let  us hope
that our men of science are universally schooled in  the knowledge of
the Infinite God and that we will find in  this wisdom an integrated
philosophy of life, one which will  supply our need and an answer to
every problem.
     In that future day, we will have put aside all our petty
quibbling over interpretations. We will find God not only in  the
heart and mind of man but in everything in this material  Universe.

   Date : 13-Feb-91  8:55
   From : Michael Corbin
     To : All
Subject : Re: Belgium
 
The following is a reprint of a summary report on the Belgian UFO activity. 
Please note the methods of determination which are employed and the subsequent
findings of the Belgian military.
 
ParaNet has established an interface with the Belgian investigators.  More
material will be released as it becomes available.
 
        SUMMARY REPORT ON OBSERVATIONS 30-31 MARCH 1990
 
BACKGROUND
1. Starting early Dec 89 the BAF has been contacted on several occasions by
eyewitnesses who observed strange phenomena in the Belgian airspace. On some
occassions they described the phenomena as a triangle-shaped platform up to
200 feet wide with 3 downward beaming projectors, hovering at +- 100 m above
the ground and making only a very light humming noise. Some witnesses saw the
object departing at very high speed after a very fast acceleration.  All
observations were made in the evening or during the night. 2. The radar
stations which had been alerted by eyewitnesses could not definitely determine
a correlation between the visual observations and their detections on radar. 
On two occasions the BAF scrambled 2 F16 during the evening hours. a.On the
first occasion the F16 arrived +- 1 hour after the visual detection. Nothing
was observed. b. On the second occassion, pilots could identify a laser-beam
projector on the ground.  After investigation it appeared however that the
description of the observations totally differed from previously described
phenomena. 3. Consequently the Belgian Airforce, anxious to identify the
origin of the phenomena, authorised F16 scrambles if following conditions were
met: a. Visual observations on the ground confirmed by the local police. b.
Detection on radar.
 
EVENTS
4. On 30 Mar 1990 at 23.00 Hr the Master Controller (MC) of the Air Defence
radar station of Glons received a phone call from a person who declared to
observe three independant blinking lights in the sky, changing colours, with a
much higher intensity than the lights of the stars and forming a triangle.
Meteo conditions were clear sky, no clouds, light wind and a minor temperature
inversion at 3000 Ft. 5. The MC in turn notified the police of WAVRE which
confirmed the sighting at +- 23 30 Hr.  Meanwhile the MC had identified a
radar contact at about 8 NM North of the ground observation.  The contact
moved slowely to the West at a speed of =- 25kts and an altitude of 10.000 Ft.
6. The ground observers reported 3 additional light spots which moved
gradually, with irregular speeds, towards the first set of lights and forming
a second triangle. 7. At 23.50 a second radar station, situated at +- 100 NM
from the first, confirmed an identical contact at the same place of the radar
contact of Glons. 8. At 00.05 Hr 2 F16 were scrambled from BEAUVECHAIN airbase
and guided towards the radar contacts.  A total of 9 interception attempts
have been made. At 6 occasions the pilots could establish a lock-on with their
air interception radar. Lock-on distances varried between 5 and 8 NM.  On all
occasions targets varied speed and altitude very quickly and break-locks
occured after 10 to 60 seconds.  Speeds varied between 150 and 1010 kts.  At 3
occasions both F16 registered simultaneous lock-ons with the same parameters.
The 2 F16 were flying +- 2 NM apart.  No visual contact could be established
by either of the F16 pilots. 9. The F16 flew 3 times through the observation
field of the ground observers. At the third passage the ground observers
notified a change in the behaviour of the light spots.  The most luminous
started to blink very intensively while the other disappeared. Consequently,
the most luminous spot started to dim gradually. 10. Meanwhile the head of the
police of WAVRE had alerted 4 other police stations in the area. All four,
seperated +- 10 NM from each other, confirmed the visual observations. 11. The
aircraft landed at 01.10 Hrs.  The last visual observation was recorded at +-
01.30 Hrs.
 
CONCLUSIONS
12.  The BELGIAN Airforce was unable to identify neither the nature nor the
origin of the phenomena.  However, it had sufficient elements to exclude
following assumptions: a. Balloons.  Impossible due to the highly variable
speeds (confirmed visually and by radar). b. ULM. Same as for balloons. c.
RPV. Impossible due to the hovering characteristics. d. Aircraft (including
Stealth).  Same as for RPV. No noise. e. Laser projections or Mirages.
Unlikely due to lack of projection surface (no clouds). Light spots have been
observed from different locations. Light spots moved over distance of more
than 15 NM.  Form of inlighted part of spots has been observed with
spectacles.  Laser projections or mirages can not be detected by radar.

The following is Part 1 of the Hudson Valley UFO sightings by
noted author/researcher Philip J.Imbrogno.

             Extraterrestrial Contacts?
             --------------------------  
 
                By: Philip J.Imbrogno
          
 Are human beings now in contact with some unkown extraterrestrial
intelligence? UFO investigators from all across the country report that the
number of Contact cases has risen over 200% in the last five years! It is
my feeling that there could be something very concrete to this contact
phenomena and we should all take a much more serious attitude toward it. 
          
          Contact In The Hudson Valley
          ---------------------------
 
 During my research in the Northeast section of the United States, I have
found a good number of people you had an continue to have UFO encounters.
Most of these witnesses started out with and ordinary sighting and now
after many UFO related experiences feel they are in contact with the
intelligence behind the UFOs. 
 
 In the Hudson Valley area alone, there has been more than 7,000 reports
of UFOs over the past seven years. To my surprise many people in the area
felt that they had contact with a non-human intelligence from another
world.At first I found these cases strange and a little disturbing since in
most cases this type of report is picked up by the media who attempt to
discredit it by ridiculing the witness. Needless to say this hurts UFOlogy
in general. During the early part of my investigation into the Hudson
Valley Phenomena, I did my best to keep these cases away from the public
eye. The first call of order was to prove that something strange was in the
sky and that the UFO that thousands of people have been seeing is not
something conventional, like "planes in formation".
 
 
 As time went on the cases of contact in the area began to escalate. I
knew then that some of these cases had to be researched. In response to
this, A UFO conference was organized by Peter Gersten and myself. The
conference took place during september of 1987 and the theme was to explore
the possibility that a non-human intelligence was in contact with people in
the area.  
 
 The speakers were Whitley Strieber, Budd Hopkins,John Keel, Ellen
Crystall and myself. At the end of tweleve hours about 900 people attended
and over 200 filled out report forms stating that they thought they had
contact with the UFO intelligence. The actual number really surprised me
greatly, and we were only touching the tip of the iceberg. 
 
Out of the 200 reports a primilary  investigation proved that 120 of them
could be unreliable, so only 90 were selected for study. They are listed
below and broken down into to five categories. 
 
Type Contact             Number
-----------              -------
 Abductions                19
 
 Channeling                10
 
 Entity Communication     15   
 
 Sighting with telepathy   40 
 
 CE-III cases only         6
 
 
 I will clarify each of the above categories below:
 
Abduction; Those people who claim to have been taken aboard an alien craft
and meeting the intelligence that operates it. 
 
Channeling: Those people who claim to be in mental contact with a
non-human or super human intelligence. Most communication is done by
automatic writing,verbally or diagrams.  
 
Entity Communication: Those who have met a human like or non-human like
being and had verbal or mental face to face communication.In most cases the
person is left with some type of information, but in some cases no
information is exchanged during the contact. 
 
Sighting With telepathy: a sighting of a UFO in which the witnesses feels
some type of communication is taking place between them and the
intelligence in the UFO. As you can see this made up of the bulk of reports
that I investigated. 
 
CE-III only: Those people who have encountered a strange being, but no
communication was made. Some time the encounter is near a landed
UFO,sometimes there is no UFO in sight. 
 
 I will now present Two cases studies of contact from my research along
with my findings. It must be remembered that the case studies are very long
and complex,so I will only present the core of the data.            
                Abductions
                -----------
 
 The abduction phenomena is wide spread across the country. Pioneer
researchers like Budd Hopkins have brought many cases to light. It was no
surprise to me that when the UFO sightings began in the Hudson Valley that
soon abduction cases would follow. One particular case that was brought to
my attention concerned a computer scientist in his early twenties. To
protect the person identity I shall call him "Ray".  
 
 On March 13 1988 at 10:00 P.M "Ray" was driving home on Route 116 in
Croton Falls, New York. The route is a lonely dark road with no lights with
a large reservoir on his left and woods on the right. He was driving home
from a friend's home in the area of Croton Falls to his home in New Castle,
New York. 
 
 "Ray" noticed a number of very bright white lights off to his left just
above the reservoir. the lights seemed too low to be a plane and looked
like they were several hundred yards away. The pine trees along the side of
the road partially obstructed his view, so he continued to drive, but
slowly until he came to a clearing. 
 
 He then stopped his car rolled down his window and watched the lights as
they continued to approach. He then pulled himself half way out of the car
through the window and sat on the car door. As he watched the lights, he
noticed that they were connected to some type of very dark structure. There
was no sound from the object and it was about 20 feet above the tree line.
As the UFO passed over his car, he looked up to see this large triangular
object which was about 100 feet from end to end slowly pass over his car. 
 
 He looked up and noticed that the object only had lights in the front and
the underside was in sections and had depth, and receded inward. Inside the
receded area he saw white flashes of light. He compared these flashes with
that of a strobe light. Then something strange took place. The next thing
he knew, he was back in the car and driving down the road and the object
was gone. 
 
 When he got home he found it very hard to sleep. For the next several
days "Ray" would wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat with
his heart pounding feel very confused. He knew somehow that these sudden
episodes of night terror had to do something with the UFO sighting. 
 
 I arranged to have "Ray" hypnotized by Dr. Jean Mundy, a certified
Psychologist who practices in New York City and a well known UFO
researcher. The result of the hypnotic session indicated that "Ray"
experienced an abduction on Route 116 during his sighting.The case is very
long and involved. I will only give a synopsis of the information that was
brought out during that session. 
 
               "Ray's" Abduction
                -----------------
 While the object was passing over his car, "Ray" somehow was drawn out of
the car window and into the UFO. He found himself lying on a table in a
dark room. There were several beings standing on each side of him, and the
being next to his left side was moving some type of instrument around his
head. He tried to move but his legs felt paralyzed. Ray described the
beings as typical "greys", that are often described in  UFO literature. He
noticed their eyes were round, and not slanted, as often reported.  
 
 One of the beings then inserted something up his nose which caused "Ray"
extreme pain. The feeling he had was as if cotton was being shoved up his
nostril. While remembering this part of the hypnosis "Ray" began to cry out
in pain and his nose began to get red and swell.  
 
 After the insert procedure, "Ray" was allowed to get up. He was escorted
by one of the beings to a control pannel. The being was short and was only
as high as "Ray"'s chest( "Ray" is about five foot 9). At no time was there
any verbal communication, but "Ray" knew where they wanted him to go and
what they wanted him to do. He saw this control pannel which was like a
greyish material with many projections and knobs. He thought that these
might be some type of controls. 
 
 "Ray" then found himself back in his car driving down the road. "Ray"
feels that the beings will someday come back for him and this time he will
not be returned for him. His entire life has changed since the incident. He
feels as if he is in some form of mental contact with the beings that he
met. He feels as if he is gathering information for them. For example "Ray"
may be listening to music, and a voice inside his head will say "Tell us
about this music, how does it make you feel". "Ray" is not able to control
these requests,they can come at any time while he is experiencing something
in his every day life. 
 
 "Ray"'s case is unusual, but not unique when compared to the many cases
that I have investigated in the Hudson Valley.   
 
          Channeling
          -----------
 
 The channeling phenomenon seems to be a new craze across the country.
When I was approached by individuals who claimed to be in contact with a
super human intelligence, my first response was a negative one. Since 1986
I have invesigated the claims of at least 40 people who say they are
channeling a higher intelligence that is extraterrestrial in nature.My
research proved to my satisfaction that 90% of these people proved to be in
contact with nothing more than their own imagination.The other 10% are
interesting,but require additional research.From the ten cases, selected
from the conference data, only one stands out. This person is the only one
that really made me consider that he may be in contact with an intelligence
that is not of this Earth.   
 
 Dean Fagerstrom is a 57 year old resident of Putnam Lake New York. When I
first met Dean in 1982 he was Working as a night watchman. I found Dean
intelligent, articulate and to say the least fascinating.  
 
 As an adult Dean's experiences began in November of 1966 while in the army
stationed in Bad Kreuznach, Germany. He lived down town, about a mile from
the base.One night at two o'clock in the morning  while sitting in his
apartment while working on a number sequence for the lottery, he had the
feeling he was not alone. He id not feel alarmed by the awareness, but
curious. Finally he got up and walked around the living room and when he
found no one he returned to his seat where he was working with the numbers
on a white board. As he looked at the white board a human like face began
to appear before his eyes. The face filled up just about all of the two by
three board. As the image got clearer, he saw that it was not one face, but
two. There was a bluish shimmer around the edges of this image,one image
was that of a man wuth tawny hair, not quite shoulder length, and a woman
with slightly darker hair, a little shorter Then he heard a voice close to
his ear identify the names of the beings that he saw. The male gave his
name as" Donestra" and his wife's name as" Kilestra", although he did not
say "wife", but rather "mate". 
 
 This Donestra then told Dean, that Dean has studied many things and they
have been receiving his thought projections because the mind is a powerful
transmitter. Donestra also told Dean that the images he is now seeing are
not real, but holographic projections. Dean was then told that this being
and his mate were amoung thousands of other individuals from various
planets throughout the near regions of our solar system and beyond.Donestra
told Dean that they have been studying the Earth for many years and that
our planetary and human condition interested them greatly. 
 
 After several minutes of conversation the communication came to a close
and Dean was asked not to mention to any one for a while what he had seen
and heard. Dean was told to watch the skies in the next few days, he did
and claims he saw a craft of" amazing design and aerial ability". This was
to prove to Dean that the contact he had was real and not an hallucination.
Between 1966 and 1967 Dean was to continue to have contact with Donestra. 
 
 In 1967 Dean was discharged from the service and he moved to Brewster,
New York. Things were quiet, and the year went by uneventful. But on
January 19th 1968 at 4:30 in the morning Dean had another extraterrestrial
contact, this time it would change the rest of his life. 
 
 Dean woke up at that hour and saw a bluish shimmer in the upper corner of
the room.He also heard an incredible high frequency buzzing sound.
Gradually, an object materialized about three inches in diameter, round,
resembling an old fashion microphone. 
 
 This object came nearer and nearer until it halted before Dean's face at
a distance of no more than a foot. This object stood their,suspended in mid
air and continued to oscillate. As Dean watched, something projected itself
from the center of the disk and extended out four or five inches, it
resembled an "ice pick". It seemed to Dean that it was some type of probe
and came to within three inches of his forehead. The probe then emitted a
very intense vibration that shook his head and neck. Dean lay in bed
helpless, but not paralyzed. The object then became quiet, then it
disappeared. 
 
 The next day, Friday morning, Dean got into his car went to a store and
began buying graph paper, triangles, compasses and various drafting
instruments. The buying spree did not seem to be under his control, nor did
he understand why he was buying these things. 
 
 Dean collected his purchases and went home and for the next three weeks
began making drawings of various types of alien machinery. Dean did not
know why he was doing this, but thought this Donestra person might have
something to do with it. Dean had no idea of what the devices were that he
was drawing. 
 
 The drawings were done in an unusual manner; Dean had no notion of what
he was doing,but felt strongly motivated to complete the drawings. He would
place a piece of graph paper in front of him and s bluish dots would
appear. The dots instructed him where to draw the lines. Also he seemed to
have a pre-knowledge of what color or shade to place in a particular part
of the diagrams. After three weeks and many hours behind closed doors Dean
Completed 32 diagrams and several pages of some unkown symbols.(Two of
these diagrams appear in this issue, as well as one page of the symbols. 
 
 Dean held on to these diagrams since 1968,then turned them over to me in
1982. He said that he was instructed to do so by Donestra and that I would
know what to do with them when the time comes. 
 
 
The diagrams have been looked at by many professional people,a physicist,
an electrical enginner, a professional artist, a master draftsman and even
Dr. Hynek looked at them. Everyone was very impressed with them,  and the
draftsman stated that it would take someone with at least twenty years
experience to produce something of that quality.   
 
Dean Fagerstrom continues his contacts till this day. It would take an
entire book to explore some of the material he has produced, and a lifetime
to research it. You may write to Dean Fagerstrom at One Allen Road, Putnam
Lake New York. 
 
           Entity Communication
           ----------------------
 
 
 This type of case invloves beings materializing to a witnesses out of
thin air. Since 1986, 10 cases of this type have been brought to my
attention in the Hudson Valley. Since the publication of my book Night
Siege, The Hudson Valley UFO siightings in 1987 and my previous articles in
UFO UNIVERSE, I have received well over 50 letters from all over the
country from people who experienced this type of contact.  
 
 In over 80% of the cases the time of the contact seems to be from 2-4 A.M
and the place , the witnesses bedroom. The stories are very similar and
they tell of the witnesses being woke up by the being,not physically but by
a strong mental impression. The beings are usually described the same, tall
slim, with long hair(Mostly blonde but, in some rare cases black).The
majority of the beings reported are male, with very few females reported. 
It is interesting to note that the tall blonde beings seems to be taking
part in this type of contact, while the little Greys are responsible for
the abductions. In this type of contact 92% of the contactees were women. 
 
 Many times some type of information is given to the witnesses.The
information is usually to predict major natural catastrophies and future
UFO sightings. In all the cases explored none of the information that is
given to the person contacted checks out. In most cases the person is
paralyzed while the enitity proceeds with the communication. In all the
cases explored the witnesses is never allowed to speak. 
 
           Sighting with Telepathy
           -----------------------
 
 
 Some people who spotted the Hudson Valley UFO felt a strong connection
with the UFO and themselves. At times they felt as if the object(or the
intelligence inside the object) could read their minds. After these
sightings these witnesses continued to feel a strong bond between the UFO
and themselves. These people who had this feeling during their intial
sighting in the Hudson Valley, continued to have additional sightings, some
later experienced one type of  contact listed above. These reports are
fully documented in my book NIGHT SIEGE, which was co-authored with the
late Dr. J. Allen Hynek and Mr. Bob Pratt.  
               Prearranged UFO Photos?
               -----------------------
 
 We have seen many UFO photographs in the past twenty years. In some cases
it seems that the photograph was the result of more than an accident. This
may be the case of Travis Ward a Greenwich resident who on January 22 in
the early morning hours took the following UFO photo. Was his camera set up
at the right place at the right time? Or was it more than a stroke of luck? 
 
          CE-III Cases
          _____________
 
 
 The number of CE-III cases that have been reported to me involve the
little grey humanoids in and around the Hudson Valley of New York. These
cases seem to be on the rise since August of 1987 and are currently under
investigation. In some of the cases contact was made without the classical
abduction. Many reports that have been brought to my attention all seem to
be of the classical "grey" beings described in the books, COMMUNION and
INTRUDERS. At times these creatures have been reported around a a UFO that
is close to the ground,but sometimes no UFO is seen at all.  
 
 If you had a CONTACT experience I would like to hear from you. You can
write me at PO Box 4218, Greenwich, Ct 06830

Contact of the Fourth Kind
 
(Abductions in the Hudson Valley area of New York)
 
     By. Philip J. Imbrogno
 
 
 
 Over the past five years the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut area
have been the scene of a massive number of UFO sightings. The numbers of
reports are so great that I believe this area has the highest number of raw
UFO sighting reports in the entir e world. These reports are documented in
my book NIGHT SIEGE THE HUDSON VALLEY UFO SIGHTS which I co-authored with
the late Dr. J. Allen Hynek and Mr. Bob Pratt. 
 
 I have been asked over the years by many UFO researchers if there have
been any close encounter-abduction type cases in the Hudson Valley . My
answer to most was No.Only to few did I admite that there were abduction
cases and plenty of them. This denial of such cases was at the request of 
Dr. Hynek since he wanted NIGHT SIEGE to be a documentation of the many UFO
reports in the Hudson Valley.D. Hynek also wanted to keep these cases quiet
until we had more data about the sightings in the area.  
 
 With so many reports over the years and with the sighting still
continuing it was only a matter of time before the growing number of
Abduction cases in the Hudson Valley had to be dealt with. 
 
 To this date I have been contacted by at least 75 people who feel as if
they had more than a sighting. Of the 75  there are 25 that would be
suitable for further study.Of these twenty five ten come from professional
backrounds.All do not want any type o f publicity. I will explore two of
these cases in this article. At the witnesses request, I have changed their
names to protect them.I would also like to inform the reader that Whitley
Strieber, author of the best selling book COMMUNION experiences took place
in the Hudson Valley area. Since the publication of his book many people
have come forward with incredible stories,people who would otherwise would
have kept silent. 
 
 On July 2 1987 I received a call from a 36 year old woman from Toms River
New Jersey who I shall call Gail. Gail was very troubled on the phone and
insisted that she talk to me about a UFO related experience that she had.
During the last part of June (1 987) as she was lying down on her bed, she
felt some what uneasy as if someone was watching her.The time was Ten PM.
She then heard a voice say" We have come for you..You will not be hurt."
She then realized that her entire body was paralyzed and that she  could
only move her eyes.Gail was lying on her back and noticed that three beings
stood in the doorway to her bedroom. She was alone in the house at the
time,but does live there with her seventeen year old daughter who was away
visiting her father in Croton Falls N.Y. Gail is divorced. 
 
 Three beings were dressed in something that looked like tightly fitting
jumpsuits and stood in a single row,one behind the other. The leader,
according to Gail seemed to have a problem getting into the room. It was as
if sometype of invisible sheild was blocking his way. He lifted up his
hand and pressed them against the invisible sheild,then he put his
hand>4^[e light in the hall was dim,and she could not see their
features. She noticed they were about five feet tall with very long arms. 
 
 The leader then took some type of rod out from a side pocket and turned
the bottom of it. The rod then glowed with a green light and he passed it
over the doorway area. They then walked into the room without any effort.
As they entered the room still in a single file she noticed that they had
large heads and eyes that looked like a cats which wrapped around their
heads. She never heard them talk but heard all kinds on buzzing noises in
her head when the leader communicated with the others.  
 
Gail tried to scream but could not,she could only move her eyes.The leader
placed himself on her right side and then one of them went to the foot of
the bed and the other on the left side of the bed. The beings on each side
of her then placed their hand s under her head and raised it up. She then
noticed that the one on her left took a tube of what like like a narrow
roll of white cotton and started pushing it up her left nostril.At that
moment she felt extreme pain in her head and then started to lose co
nscious. She felt as if she was falling from a great height,then she does
not remeber anymore. 
 
 The next thing she recalls is waking up at 8am with a very bad headache.
As she walked to the bathroom her nose (both nostrils started to bleed. She
felt as if something was stuck up her nose,but nothing was there. She
looked in the bathroom mirror and  noticed her nose was swollen and
puffy.She she noticed a rash on her neck,legs and slightly on her arms. 
 
 She had hoped that the experience from that last night was a dream and
tried to block it out of her head. When her daughter arrived home that
night she told her about what happened.Gail told me that before she even
finsihed with her story her daughter s tarted shaking and then told her
that on the same night, about the same time she and her father were
followed by a UFO on route 116 near Croton Falls New York. She described to
her mother a large dark craft triangular in shape that paced the car for
five m inutes above tree top level. 
 
 I found this report very interesting since Croton falls is near the
border of Westchester and Putnam Counties in New York and that loney route
has been the site of more than one Close Encounter over the past five
years. I also found it interesting that  both mother and daughter had a
experience with the paranormal at the same time.  
 
 There is more to this case than meets the eye. The daughter and father
accrording to my findings may have had as much as thirty minutes missing
time. If this is so and if both were abducted then the experience happened
to father,mother and daughter at t he same time!.  
 
 Gail's rash and headaches continued for a few days then disappeared. I
plan to have Gail undergo hypnosis in the near future by a certified
psychologist. The story does not end here. Several weeks latter I received
a call from Gail telling me that it ha ppened again. She said"Those
creatures came back the same time and they did the same thing"She
continued"It was as if I was watching a movie of the first time they
came,they did exactly the same thing.Including having trouble getting into
the doorway to th e bedroom.My daughter was once again away visiting her
father." 
 
 This case is still under study, but intial findings indicate that both
Gail and her daughter may have a history of interactions with the
intelligence behind the UFO phenomenon. 
 
 
 The second case I would like to cover took place on July 19th 1984 during
the peak of activity in the Hudson Valley. the sighting involved a Close
Encounter, Missing time and abduction. If this was a real expereince then
the implications are fantastic.  In all the cases that I chose to study all
the witnesses related the truth,or what they thought was the truth.There is
no doubt in my mind that their stories are not hoaxes since none would have
nothing to gain by going public with their experiences.  
 
 Bill (as we shall refer to him) is a thirty two year old computer
programmer for a major scientific-engineering corportation that helped
design the major componets for the new NASA Hubble space telescope. On July
19th 1984, at about ten-thirty pm, Bill w as leaving work and heading west
on Highway I-84. As he approached the Taconic Parkway ramp in Dutchess
county New York he noticed a very bright almost circular object off to the
north. The object seemed to be just sitting there in the sky and the lights
w ere very bright white. As he watched the object it began to move and it
was at that time he noticed a dark mass behind it which blocked out the
brighter light polluted night sky. He continued to drive on 84 and soon
lost sight of the object. He then brushe d the entire incident off his mind
and thought"Oh it must have been those guys from Stormville flying those
planes faking a UFO" He then drove on listening to his radio. 
 
 
 He then turned off the route 52 exit near Stormville New York and began
traveling north. The time now was close to eleven PM and the roads were
quite desolate. He came to a clearing where there was a large field and
noticed a large dark mass sitting in  the field about 200 yards from the
road. At first he thought that it was a new home,but then he knew there was
no house there since he went this way just last night and the field was
empty. As a matter of fact Bill drove this way home and passed the field 
everynight and never saw a house there. 
 
 Bill slowed down the car"This thing was huge and dark",he said.The
strange thing was it was almost the same shape as a big barn,but it seemed
more tapered toward the sides and very smooth. As he watched, the dark
object rose into the air without a sound . This really upset Bill since he
was the only car on the road. The object then rose higher and higher. All
that Bill could see was the dark mass slowly rising into the air. It was
now about twice as high as the trees and it moved slowly towards Bill who w
as still in the car. Bills radio then started to sound "funny" he said that
the music on the radio sounded like a tape player ,playing music with very
weak batteries. The voices and the music sounded out of tune. 
 
 Bill then put his car into gear and sped away from the object. His heart
was racing as he drove up the road at about fifty miles and hour.Bill then
lost sight of the object and continued to drive at a slower rate of
speed.After several minutes he notice d a glow up ahead over a hill. As he
approached the crest of the hill there the object was! It was about 300
feet above the trees and was all lit up with rows of white and yellow
lights. He then stopped his car and turned off the engine and the lights.
He  was hoping that who ever was in the thing would not see him. The object
then turned off its lights and he could see this huge dark mass slolwy
drifting toward him. The object passed right over his car,he could now see
its shape,it was triangular. Bill told 
me"I don't want to make light of this,but the ship looked like one of the
star destroyers in Star Was" The underside was the same shape,although I
did not see the top. 
 
 The object passed over Bill, as he looked up he saw circular areas
underneath the UFO. These circular areas seemed to be like tunnels leading
into the object. Inside these circular tunnels there was a white
flashing,similar to the flashing of a white st robe light (we had several
reports of this white flashing effect from past CE cases in the Hudson
Valley, also the circular areas have been reported numerous times before).
Bill told me there was no sound.He estimated its size to be at least 300
feet from  end to end.  
 
 Then something strange took place. The last thing Bill remembers is
watching it go over his car,he did not see it leave. The next thing he
knows he is at the bottom of the hill 600 feet from the position he was
when the UFO passed over his parked car. T he object itself was gone. He
was not sure what time it was when he watched the object passed over his
car,but he feels it was most likely about eleven-thirty PM. The time was
now tweleve -fifteen. He started his drive home upset and with a very stiff
neck .  
 
 
 When he arrived home he told his wife about his sighting. She was worried
to begin with since he was almost and hour late. That night Bill woke up
yelling in the night"saying get away from me!" His wife said that the
nightmares continued for a while at  least twice a week . Bill told to me
that the he was not sure of what the nightmare was, but he knew something
was after him. As time went on Bill was afriad to drive at night alone. He
even had to insist to his boss not to put him on the evening or night 
shift at his job. Finally Bill wanted to find out more since the experience
of the UFO and the fearful dreams tormented him. It wasen't until 1987 that
Bill contacted me and told me his story. Bill Had seen Budd Hopkins(author
of the book INTRUDERS) on a n umber of shows and asked me if would be
possible for him to be hypnotized. Hearing Budd on TV talk about the
abductions made him fearful and he wanted to make sure that this did not
happen to him. I arranged to have Bill meet with a certified psychologist 
that I occasionally use to perform hypnosis.The following is a brief
transcript of Bills encounter under hypnosis. He first related seeing the
object on 84 and then the object in the field and then in the sky over the
hill, it is then that his voice become s fearful. 
 
Bill" I see it now its that thing! Its coming in my direction!. Iam going
to turn off my car lights. maybe then wont see me and go away. Its
huge......Oh my God what is it!. Theres someone standing in the road he is
now walking toward the car. Who are yo u!...... He's saying something to me
"don't be fearful we need you...you have been selected". Selected for
what,get away!. I feel strange like I am floating in the air,its all dark.
I am now on this table and these guys are all around me,six of them. Two a
re at my head and two on the sides(two on each side). My legs and arms are
like dead weights I can't move them.  
 
(Bill is then asked to describe them)
 
"These guys are small, large heads with round eyes,the eyes are all black
I can see no pupils in them,they remind me of sharks eyes. They are dressed
in sometype of black and white skin type suits. I can't see their hands.
The one at my head is moving so me type of device that looks like a
portable car vacuum cleaner up and down the left side of my head. It
vibrates my entire head,it feels like a drill going through my head...
STOP! it hurts.. He tells me that they are looking for something and found
it. 
 
I now can feel my legs and arms they are allowing me to get up. They are
very small only up to the bottom part of my chest (Bill is six foot one
inch) The others are now over some type of pannel. Two of them are leading
me by the arms. I asked them where  they were from"The one on my right
leading said"We are from here" I didn't understand the answer. I asked him
if they planned to let me go. he replied "Yes but we will see you again" He
told me that they need us because they have trouble living in our wor ld.
He said they come from a place which is very ugly when compared to our
world and they would rather live here,but can't. I told him that I would
remember and tell every one about this. He said I would remember in time
but there are forces in your own(?)  which will stop you from telling
anyone about this experience." Bill then found himself back in the car.
Bill now recalls every aspect of the experience. It was a very real
experience to him. 
 
 
There are about a dozen other cases similar to Bill's and Gail's.In The
Hudson Valley area.Can all of these people who have had UFO abductions and
sightings in this part of the country be experiencing sometype of mass
hysteria? I don't think so. The evid ence indicates that there is some type
of non-human intelligence at work. If the case histories of the total
experiences are true then we all better work together to get to the bottom
of this.  
 
 In 1987 Peter Gersten a Peekskill New York attorney put together a new
organization called CONTACT. Peter who is known for his work in obtaining
UFO related documents from goverment agencies organized CONTACT in response
to the great number of Close Enc ounter cases in the New York area. Peter
had some of the top UFologist flown in from all over the country to meet at
his Peekskill home. Amoung them were Tracy Torme, Budd Hopkins, Jim Mc
Cambell and this author. On September 27 CONTACT organized a free UF O
public conference in Brewster New York. The theme of the conference was to
explore the adbuction phenomena and the possibility that some people have
been in contact with a non-human intelligence.Speakers at the conference
included John Keel. Whitley Stri eber and Budd Hopkins. Over 900 people
attended the 12 hour conference and 200 filled out forms who felt they had
a contact experience. 
 
Then during the first several months of 1988 Peter Gersten dissolved
CONTACT and as of the date of this publication CONTACT is no longer in
existence. The reasons for this are not clear but Peter still maintains a
UFO Hotline where callers can get up to  date information about UFO
sightings. The caller can also leave their name and report their own
sighting on a tape.The UFO hotline number is 914-739-6830.

                          ETHICAL IMPLICATIONS OF
                        THE UFO ABDUCTION PHENOMENON
 
                              by Budd Hopkins
 
 
      It is in the nature of human psychology that an event as dramatic as 
contact with extraterrestrial intelligence can not be thought about _neut-
rally_, without deep-seated hopes and preconceptions. Most of us, I'm cer-
tain, prefer to believe that extraterrestrials would arrive on our planet 
as friendly, helpful beings, eager to share their technology and to aid us 
in solving our social and ecological problems. Upon this basic and very 
human wish certain people have erected a powerful set of interpretations 
of modern-day UFO reports. These hopes, hardened into a kind of theology, 
can be described as a modern religion, willed into existence after the de-
cline of our more traditional deities. After all, we have been told more 
than once that God is dead.
 
      On the other hand, our recent wars, both hot and cold, and the ven-
ality and deceit we have seen in many of our political leaders have also 
inspired an undercurrent of pessimism, global in extent. International 
chaos, terrorism and governmental incompetence have trained many of us 
always to expect the worst. And so, if the majority opinion, or hope, is 
that extraterrestrials would arrive as space brothers, a strong minority 
opinion fears the opposite - that we would find ourselves taken over by a 
band of inter-galactic conquerors. Our popular science fiction films spell 
out these hopes and fears quite literally: We have the kindly Space Broth-
er, Michael Rennie, stepping out of a gleaming spaceship to help earth-
lings through their troubles, and then we have the Body Snatchers out to 
do us all in. I've dwelt on these basic attitudes about extraterrestrial 
contact for an important reason: when we examine reports of actual con-
tact, especially as revealed in UFO abduction encounters, we must always 
bear in mind our basic preconceptions and how they might influence our 
reading of these events.
 
      After twelve years of experience investigating the abduction phenom-
enon, I will not deal with the validity of such reports in this paper. 
I've considered this issue elsewhere, in two books and a number of artic-
les, so we will here assume that the abductees I've worked with, more than 
a hundred and fifty in all, are telling the truth as they best recall it. 
I will concentrate instead on what information we can derive from their 
accounts that might bear on the question of the moral nature of the UFO 
phenomenon. Are the UFO occupants, as they are described by their abduc-
tees, good or bad, friends or foes, or is the situation just not reducible 
to such terms? The very first step, obviously, is to analyze what the ab-
ductees say they feel about their captors, and that, every investigator 
knows, is a complex task. My twelve years' experience leads me to a dis-
tinct conclusion: each abductee's emotions are invariably intense and many-
levelled - and usually mutually contradictory.
 
      First of all, confrontations with UFO occupants are generally experi-
enced as frightening, so fear, at some point, is an almost universal ele-
ment in the emotional mix. Second, there is a kind of awe or wonder at the 
power and seeming magic of the aliens' technology. This often translates 
itself into a kind of affection, even love, that an abductee might feel 
for the particular captor with whom he or she senses a special relation-
ship. On the other side of the same coin there is an almost universal ang-
er - verging sometimes on hatred - that abductees feel towards their abduc-
tors because of their enforced helplessness, their sense of having been 
used, involuntarily, and even, upon occasion, of being made to suffer 
severe pain. According to every broad study of the abduction literature 
that I know of, and Edward Bullard's is the most authoritative [ParaNet 
members - see FUFOR.ORD], fear, awe, affection and anger are the basic 
emotional components of almost every UFO abduction experience. It is safe 
to say, then, that _powerful and confusing_ emotions follow such experi-
ences, and that after their encounters abductees do not believe they have 
been taken either by purely malevolent foes nor by selfless, angelic space 
brothers. The situation is far too complicated for either simplistic read-
ing.
 
      During the past eight years I have conducted an informal support 
group for UFO abductees in the New York City area, and have kept in touch 
with many others in various parts of the country. These circumstances have 
allowed me to observe a number of men and women over an extended period of 
time, and to see various patterns of response to their abduction experi-
ences. The weight of each component in the standard emotional mix varies 
widely from individual to individual, and also changes with time within 
any one psyche. But the basic components always seem to remain, subtly at 
odds with one another, in each abductee. Several things must be kept in 
mind, however, as we study the abductee's emotional charts. First, when 
one is abducted, he or she is in something of an altered state, not unlike 
a hypnotic trance. The abductee is _controlled_ by the abductors and his 
or her behavior is in many ways far from normal. The abductee  may be told 
things, shown things, that may not be true or "real." So in this context 
we must consider the abductee's occasional affection for his or her capt-
ors. Psychologists have shown that this phenomenon, the "Patty Hearst" 
syndrome, all too often appears in earthly kidnapping experiences. There-
fore in evaluating the four emotions commonly described by UFO abductees, 
three seem appropriate but one must be dealt with warily. Fear is some-
thing one would surely expect if the aliens actually look and act as re-
ported by their captives. Feelings of awe at the alien's technological 
magic, an emotion that again seems appropriate. Anger, often to an extreme 
degree, seems to be most abductee's reaction to being paralyzed and con-
trolled by their captors. The physically invasive and sometimes painful 
operations performed upon them underline this response, which is often 
deepened because the UFO occupants usually refuse to discuss the purpose 
of these disturbing procedures. One has no choice except to submit to 
needles, lights, knives, "scanners" and so forth, with no power to protest 
or refuse. "I feel like a lab rat," one abductee said, her anger entirely 
appropriate to her situation. It is the odd affection abductees often re-
port feeling for their captors that seems suspect, under the circumstan-
ces. Is this feeling possibly an artificial emotion, induced telepathic-
ally through some kind of quasi-hypnotic control? Is it a version of the 
"Patty Hearst" syndrome? Is it a genuine reaction? Obviously no one can 
answer these questions satisfactorily, but it seems to me that affection 
is the one common abduction response that must be viewed with suspicion.
 
      When one tries to tally up the pros and cons of an abduction experi-
ence as it immediately and visibly affects human emotion, it can be said 
that two reactions are essentially negative, or even damaging. Fear and 
anger, which are often felt deeply as terror and hatred, are surely dis-
ruptive of anyone's life. The sense of awe, while basically neutral and 
sometimes tinged with fear, may enhance one's world view, and thus con-
tribute positively. The fourth and most suspect emotion, affection for 
one's captors, if genuine, is a positive one. So the emotional "score" af-
ter an abduction experience does not support either a simple "Space Broth-
er" or "Body Snatcher" interpretation. Judging purely by obvious surface 
reactions we are still in ethically mixed territory, though to me and to 
many abductees the negative effects seem more powerful than the positive.
 
      Moving away from the patterns of the abductees' immediate emotional 
responses, we can evaluate the ethical content of an extraterrestrial pres-
ence by considering another, larger plane. Is there any evidence that ex-
traterrestrial intelligence has actively intervened in human affairs, eith-
er helpfully or destructively? The modern era of UFO activity begins in 
earnest in 1947, but many UFO reports surfaced during World War II in the 
phenomenon labelled "foo fighters" by our airmen. No force, either extra-
terrestrial or otherwise, put a stop to the Holocaust until the Allied 
armies conquered Nazi Germany. By then it was too late for millions of in-
nocent people, murdered by a system no one seemed able to stop. The United 
States developed nuclear weapons and used them to incinerate tens of thous-
ands of children, women and men. No one, terrestrial or otherwise, prevent-
ed those bombs from falling. Continuing Stalinist butchery, international 
terrorism, American intervention in a Vietnamese civil war - all meant 
that thousands upon thousands of innocent people lost their lives because 
of the cruelty or indifference of political leaders of every persuasion. 
No one intervened. Michael Rennie, alas, never stepped out of his space 
ship to save us from ourselves. We have polluted our planet, spreading 
cancer by industry's greedy indifference to the consequences of chemical 
"bonanzas." No one came to our rescue; the Chariots of the Gods evidently 
drew up just to watch the damage deepen. And now we have a new plague - 
the disease known by its ironic acronym AIDS...something fresh and new 
that we apparently did not have before the advent of the modern UFO era.
 
      Now all of this means one thing. As a moral presence the UFO phenom-
enon seems sublimely indifferent to what we do to ourselves. Intervention 
is evidently not part of the plan, as diving into the surf to rescue a 
drowning child is sometimes not part of an indolent sunbather's plans. On 
the other hand there seems to be no evidence that an extraterrestrial pre-
sence has inflicted any excess pain upon us, either. If Michael Rennie's 
alien only saves us in Hollywood films, the evil, intervening Body Snatch-
ers seem only to exist there, too. I believe that the cruelty that mankind 
has endured in this century has an all too human origin; one doesn't have 
to look to spaceships for its cause. And we look to them in vain even for 
first aid, let alone salvation.
 
      But how should we evaluate what seems inescapable evidence of extra-
terrestrial indifference to human tragedy? I feel that the grades should 
be harsh. The power and technology revealed by UFO report upon UFO report 
indicates that intervention of some kind should have been possible; help 
should have been given. Apologists for a Space Brothers theory use the 
same argument as Christian Apologists: The UFO occupants, like God, tol-
erate evils such as the Holocaust because life is only a fleeting reality -
 the afterlife, or a reincarnated life, renders this question moot. As a 
Humanist I disagree. The death of a child at the hands of a gun-bearing 
adult is an abomination, not a necessary learning experience. The only 
excuse I can offer for extraterrestrial indifference is some kind of flaw 
in their apparent power, some very real vulnerability that might provide 
them with an excuse to avoid moral responsibility the way our indolent 
sunbather could avoid trying to save the drowning child because he, him-
self, might be unable to swim.
 
      A few valid UFO cases contain accounts of healing, descriptions of 
wounds healed, eyesight strengthened and so on, after UFO abductions or 
encounters. However, these rare examples of healing raise more ethical 
problems than they solve. If the occupants of UFOs _do_ have the power to 
heal, why is it used so sparingly, so arbitrarily? Why save one swimmer 
and let the others drown? A woman I've worked with and know well was ab-
ducted along with her older sister; each had had childhood abductions, 
each had lived uneasily with her memories. Last spring the older sister 
was murdered in a park, by an apparently deranged individual. The tragedy 
had nothing to do with UFOs, but my friend said this to me: "I always 
thought, somehow, they were looking out for us, watching over the people 
they'd taken in these experiments. Now I know I'm no safer than anyone 
else. They don't seem to care." And yet in one case I know about an abduct-
ee was apparently saved in a similar situation. The arbitrariness of it 
all undermines any attempt to accept a Space Brother reading of the entire 
phenomenon. Amorality is the term that comes most quickly to mind.
 
      If the immediate emotional reactions to UFO abductions are usually 
more negative than positive, and there is literally no sign of benign ex-
traterrestrial intervention in world affairs, there is still one more area 
to examine, and it is extremely important. It is the long term psycholog-
ical aftereffects of UFO abductions experiences. Dr. Aphrodite Clamar, a 
clinical psychologist with whom I have worked in many such investigations, 
has stated that she feels almost every abductee she has dealt with has 
been psychologically scarred by the experience. This is surely my opinion 
also, and I believe that the psychological tests of abductees administered 
by Dr. Elizabeth Slater, as well as the psychological histories taken 
through Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City all provide sup-
port for this thesis. Though she points out that cause and effect ob-
viously cannot be established with certainty, Dr. Slater describes the 
psychological profiles of the nine abductees she tested as resembling 
those found with rape victims - a low self-esteem, a distrust of their 
bodies, their physicality, their sexuality, and a hesitancy to trust oth-
ers. Not a pretty legacy from our would-be Space Brothers. 
 
      My case files include three instances in which individuals - all 
males and apparently somewhat depressed to begin with - committed suicide 
after what were described by their friends and family as UFO abduction ex-
periences. And there is more on this debit side of the ledger, including 
what seems to have been an accident following a car-stopping incident and 
abduction; the driver, the only surviving parent of four children, died 
later of complications suffered in this encounter. Two female abductees 
I've worked with either planned or carried out suicide attempts when they 
were ten years old, and another recent attempt involves a frightened, des-
pondent fourteen-year-old girl.
      
      No one who has had this experience regards it as an unmitigated 
blessing. Some live in perpetual terror. Some have suffered nervous 
breakdowns, and as a result of their experiences and the chemical and 
shock treatments administered by baffled and incompetent doctors, are 
living thoroughly damaged lives. I have seen disfiguring scars on the 
bodies of abductees who have involuntarily been used in the UFO occupant's 
"medical" procedures. Yet I have also seen abductees whose lives have been 
undeniably broadened by their bizarre experiences; survivors who have man-
aged the human task of surmounting their traumas and gaining something 
from them. The reports, again, are mixed, but the pain and suffering are 
immense. Deaths, injuries, terrors and mental breakdowns must be weighed 
against a philosophical broadening in many individuals, an awareness that 
the universe is larger - and closer - than anyone had imagined. The cost, 
of course, has been tremendous, and the gain due more to human resilience 
than alien kindness.
 
      But there is, I believe, an explanation for the apparently callous 
and often destructive behavior of the aliens who perpetrate these tempor-
ary kidnappings of innocent men, women and children. One vivid example 
should make the point. Two years ago a man in Minnesota whom I shall call 
Earl wrote to me about his partially remembered UFO experiences. Eventual-
ly I visited him on his farm, and we began a series of hypnotic regres-
sions. He recalled a time years before when his wife had been helping him 
harvest a crop of hay in a rather isolated field. She lay down to rest on 
the wagon while Earl worked a few hundred yards away...but then he saw 
three small UFOs fly in at tree-top level and hover above his sleeping 
wife. One of them lowered to the ground as Earl put his tractor in gear 
and raced to her side to protect her from whatever was happening. A normal-
looking blond man, speaking English, stepped from behind the clump of 
trees where the UFO had landed and asked Earl to stop; "Everything is all 
right," he said. "She won't be hurt." Earl ignored him and leaped off the 
tractor, continuing on foot towards the wagon where his wife lay, surround-
ed now by small, gray-skinned figures. Earl suddenly found himself para-
lyzed and helpless. He stood there, unable to move, as the blond man con-
tinued speaking, assuring him that "everything is all right. Nothing will 
happen to your mate." Earl watched in horror as his paralyzed wife was un-
dressed. A Long needle was pushed into her abdomen as she lay on a bed of 
hay, crying out at the pain, but unable to resist. Skin and hair samples 
were taken, and a thin probe was inserted into her vagina. Still frozen in 
place, Earl cursed and raged, and the blond man seemed genuinely surprised 
by his reaction. "We _want_ you to see this," he said. "We're not hurting 
your mate. She'll be fine. Why are you upset? We're not hurting her..."
 
      The scene ended shortly thereafter, and the couple returned home, 
aware of a period of missing time, but with no memories of the UFO en-
counter. In the days and weeks after this event, Earl's wife began suf-
fering from nightmares, clawing in her sleep at the area near the bridge 
of her nose, between her eyes, and screaming for them to "take it out, 
it's hurting." She dug deep gouges in her forehead while the nightmares 
continued unabated. Other symptoms of her terror appeared, half-understood 
recollections of the events in the hay field. Eventually she had to be hos-
pitalized, suffering from a severe nervous breakdown. She lives at home 
now, tranquilized and sadly no longer herself.
 
      This story is but one of many which I could present to illustrate a 
central point about UFO occupants and their relation to their human sub-
jects: they simply appear unable for the most part to understand us, our 
feelings, our terrors, our love for one another. They seem psychologically 
blind to basic human emotions. In my book _Intruders_ I recounted case af-
ter case in which women were artificially inseminated or endured ova-
retrieval operations, but whose reactions of rage or terror seemed surpris-
ing to their captors. These impassive UFO occupants seem as remote from 
our "peculiar" human emotions as they are from our obviously differing 
anatomy; perhaps more so. And their basic lack of understanding provides 
us with a kind of excuse for their callous behavior.
 
      It seems to me that we are left with but two possibilities, neither 
of which is very attractive. If the UFO occupants actually do understand 
us and can empathize with our needs and emotions, then they are morally 
deficient -- even cruel in their single-minded selfishness. Not malevolent 
or deliberately evil, but as callous as the sunbather who watches the 
child drown in the surf. At some point, amoral behavior becomes immoral 
behavior. But if these same alien beings _simply do not understand our 
feelings_,  then they have an excuse of sorts for their behavior. And the 
evidence suggest they really may not know what disasters they sometimes 
cause. A female abductee recently wrote me a letter which goes in part:
 
 
            I  was  watching a show about animals, because I love 
      animals.  I  don't  know  if  it was _Wild Kingdom_ or some 
      _National  Geographic_  show,  but  these  scientists  were 
      tracking  some  polar  bears.  They  had all kinds of weird 
      looking  equipment  and  were  using  a  white  board which 
      rendered  them  invisible  in  the  snow to the bears. As I 
      watched  I  got  a real sick feeling in the pit of my stom-
      ach.  These  scientists  were  dressed  in  identical white 
      suits,  lured  the  bears  closer,  and drugged the big one 
      with  the  cubs.  The whole time they were tagging her they 
      were  taking  blood  samples, measuring fat, checking eyes, 
      mouth,  etc. And whenever the bear struggled they would pet 
      her,  talk  to  her,  tell  her  everything was going to be 
      fine.  The  cubs  stayed close. The scientists placed a de-
      vice  on  her  that would track her for so many years. They 
      even  marked her with a special paint that could be spotted 
      from  the  air.  Then  when they were through with her they 
      ran  and hid behind the big screen so that when she woke up 
      she  wouldn't  see them. She got up, looked around, and ran 
      so  fast  her  cubs  could  hardly keep up. Imagine how she 
      must  have felt the other times when they followed her in a 
      helicopter.  She  could run, but with that paint and homing 
      device  she could never hide! I think all we are is a bunch 
      of  animals  to  these  beings. Some little experiment that 
      has  been  ongoing for who knows how long. I don't like the 
      idea of being something's lab animal.
      
      
      I thought about her letter, her understanding of the animal's plight 
and the traumas inflicted by the scientists upon the bear and its cubs. 
These zoologists - as well as the occupants of UFO's, one hopes - are all 
acting from decent, scientific motives. And yet in both cases pain is in-
flicted, paralysis is imposed, and traumatic terror is the result. Some 
animals might abandon their cubs after such an experience or die of a mis-
measured dose of a tranquilizing drug or even die from pure shock, just as 
some humans, like Earl's poor wife, may never recover from the horror of 
their experience. Sad though this alternative seems, it is easier for me 
to believe that the occupants of UFOs simply do not understand what they 
are doing to us, what traumas they are inflicting, than to believe they do 
know and are merely indifferent to human suffering.
 
      I have talked to many people who will not give up on the benign 
Space Brother reading of these cases, no matter what. At the outset I said 
that our quasi-religious hopes die slowly. And so, despite massive negat-
ive evidence, there are still many people who cling to the idea that some-
how, some way there may be _two_ alien groups, one bad and one good. The 
bad group, according to this theory, does the abducting and experimenting 
while the good group really loves and understands us. Sometimes a kind of 
sub rosa Aryan racism can be detected beneath these hopes, in that the 
"grays," as they have been called, are the bad aliens, while the more at-
tractive "blonds" are good. In my twelve years of investigation, however, 
the more human-seeming aliens, whenever they are reported (as in the cases 
of Earl and his wife or the Travis Walton abduction), seem to be operating 
as a team right along with the so-called "grays," participating in abduct-
ions-as-usual. There is not a shred of evidence that I know of supporting 
this simple-minded good-guys, bad-guys dichotomy - but there is plenty of 
evidence that this kind of wishful thinking is an all too common psycholog-
ical habit.
 
      The Contactee phenomenon, discounted by almost all serious investi-
gators, represents the triumph of hope against reality, of need against 
evidence. The abduction cases I've studied over the years can be defined 
as being, in effect, "all evidence and no ideology," while the contactee 
cults are essentially the opposite. Contactee messages, as passed on 
through helpful "channels," reduce themselves generally to soft entreaties 
to love one another, to make peace, not war, and to take care of our plan-
et's precarious ecology - in other words, the kind of cliche' even people 
like Reagan and Gorbachev routinely utter in their formal speeches. (This 
kind of nebulous message, it should be said, is sometimes also reported in 
valid UFO abduction cases. What we really need, one abductee said to me, 
is actual alien help in solving our problems, not just another newspaper 
editorial pointing them out.) In short, there is no reason to assume that 
any benign group of aliens anywhere has yet done anything truly helpful to 
our planet. Such evidence simply does not exist.
 
      The final difficulty in the cultist view of a "good alien - bad 
alien duality" lies in the age-old problem of evil. If the bad aliens are 
hurting us by their abductions, why don't the good aliens prevent it? For 
centuries we've asked ourselves, if God is omnipotent, how can he permit, 
say, the torture of children? Many of us felt that since no answer consist-
ent with the idea of God's omnipotence could satisfy us, there was some-
thing seriously wrong with the theology. And so it is with this kind of 
alien theology, apart from the fact that there is no credible evidence of 
any kind indicating a struggle between rival alien groups. If there are 
various groups of aliens from different places of origin in the Universe, 
they are apparently all co-operatively doing the same thing to us, the hu-
man race - and I for one think that what they're doing is, in the short 
term at least, immensely destructive.
 
      Once again we are back to the only two viable alternatives. Either 
the UFO occupants have not grasped the psychological toll they are taking 
in these abductions and genetic experiments because they really do not 
understand human psychology, _or_ they must be viewed as a callous, indif-
ferent, amoral race bent solely upon gratifying its own scientific needs 
at whatever the cost to us, the victims. The question of which alternative 
is true cannot be presently answered. There is evidence to support both 
interpretations, but I, for one, wish to choose the former.

                   The "Message of Cydonia":
    First Communication from an Extraterrestrial Civilization?
 
                                       By Richard C. Hoagland*

 
                                           [Copyright (C) 1989
                                           All Rights Reserved]
 
                           Abstract
 
     In 1976 an unmanned NASA Viking spacecraft successfully 
photographed the surface of the planet Mars.  In the subsequent 
13 years, a mystery has loomed . . . a mile-long, 1500-ft high 
humanoid "face" discovered in a northern Martian desert called 
"Cydonia."  Initially dismissed by NASA as "a trick of light and 
shadow," new analysis presented here reveals a far more complex 
situation, and a far more significant conclusion:
 
     The "face" and its surrounding "enigmatic landforms" appear 
to be a carefully layed out, highly-sophisticated, redundantly 
encoded "mathematical and geometric CETI message" on the Martian 
landscape -- in the tradition of century-old proposals by Gauss, 
Lockyer, et al..
 
     This paper presents the evidence whereby the authors have 
reached this "radical conclusion."  We -- one of us a former NASA
consultant, the other a geomorphologist -- detail the extensive 
geodedic and mathematical analysis of "the Face" we have 
conducted over the past several years: specifically, its 
geometric relationship to other, equally enigmatic objects in the
immediate vicinity.  This evidence includes multiple appearances 
of two specific mathematical constants: "e" and "pi," derived by 
angular measurement of the placement of key morphological objects
around the "face" and the discovery of redundant angles and 
derived constants from that placement.  We have also discovered 
the two constants -- "e" and "pi" -- "coded" in the geodedic 
siting latitude of the "complex" on the planet.
 
     It is this multiple, diversified, but converging geodedic, 
geometric and mathematical evidence that, in the authors' 
opinion, now robustly supports the "radical conclusion" presented
above.
 
     The geometry and mathematical constants we have discovered 
at Cydonia appear to be a highly-specific communication of 
"embedded tetrahedral geometry."  It's apparent purpose: the 
geometric

                                -2-
 
 
prediction of a specific geodedic latitude -- 19.5 degrees N. and
S. -- resulting from the location of the vertices of a 
"circumscribed tetrahedran" rotated inside a planetary or stellar
sphere.   This conclusion is reinforced by the geomorphological 
observation of a major "tetrahedral pyramid" at Cydonia -- 
connected geometrically (by a 19.5-degree angle offset to the 
local geodedic meridian) to equally obvious morphological 
representations of "spheres" at Cydonia itself.
 
     The purpose of all this appears to be to direct attention 
towards "something occurring at these two specific planetary 
latitudes."  When examined by the authors, using published 
geodedic planetary maps from NASA and U.S Geological Survey 
sources, these latitudes are observed to be associated with a 
hitherto unknown planetary and stellar energy phenomenon -- 
blatantly emerging at these specific latitudes -- on astronomical
objects all across the solar system, including the Sun.  Further,
the appearance of these "energy outpourings" seems to be 
modulated by the polarity of the planetary (or stellar) magnetic 
dipole moment -- raising, in the author's minds, the possibility 
that the "message" is attempting to direct us to a verifiable 
astrophysical manifestation of a basic, "unified field," 
connecting planetary angular momentum, gravity, and 
electromagnetism with surface energy release.
 
     The possibility that "the message" is directing us to, not 
merely energy transfer but energy generation, is also considered 
in this paper.  Several convergent observations of the outer 
planets, most recently from Voyager 2, are presented to buttress 
our contention that we may be looking at a new astrophysically-
significant form of energy.  Evidence is also presented that some
manifestations of this energy may be altering the local 
"gravitational space-time metric" -- consistant with current 
theoretical interpretations of tetrahedral mathematics by 
specialists, as "representative of higher-dimensional n-spaces."
 
     The implications of these "real world" geophysical 
manifestations of "unified field tetrahedral mathematics" -- 
specific, localized energy release on planetary surfaces, 
apparently unrecognized until the "Cydonia tetrahedral 
mathematics" were decoded by the authors -- are profound: ranging
from a possible breakthrough in the centuries-long search for a 
Unified Field Theory connecting the four elemental forces of 
Nature; to possible technological applications of this knowledge 
-- including a new energy source, and possibly, ultimate control 
of gravity itself.
 
     We conclude by urging immediate verification of the "Cydonia
Message," via the 1992 unmanned Mars Observer spacecraft, as well
as detailed follow-up to our preliminary work presented here.

I hope so.  Call me crazy, but I've chosen to believe that we weren't the only
intelligent life since I was a kid.  I would love to find out during my lifetime
that it's true for sure and not just a "belief".  I just hope that, if it's true,
we're not about to be taken advantage of by either other intelligent life or
by our government.  Imprisonment of "dissentors" (whatever it exactly means) 
would be a sad thing for our country to stoop to.  (Though it wouldn't be the
first time we picked on a group and took away their rights; ie: orientals during
a certain world war.)

I can't help but hope that Star Trek: the new generation is a ploy to get us
used to "their" ideas and philosophy.  If there really has been a cover-up 
since Kennedy and before, then it's not impossible.  Wouldn't it be nice?

Of course, we can't dare to trust anyone for a very long time after we've met
them.  If they're advanced enough to get here, they could do us some serious
damage.

Greetings.  Just as the heading says, I am looking for writers/critics to
contribute to Ink Nineteen, a progressive culture (for lack of a better 
pair of words) magazine stationed in Central Florida, USA.

I have been a UsePhreak for some time now, and have noticed that the writing
talent available is enormous; yet only people with access to large computer
systems can enjoy it.  Therefore, I am opening Ink Nineteen to eContributions,
a freshly-coined term with alarming Earth-shaking implications.  

If this sounds even remotely interesting to you, please eMail me at:

    ecs62697@zach.fit.edu

and I will send you back more information.  I have not heard of any other
magazine (or even fanzine) take this approach towards recruiting writers or
even receiving articles, so you could be involved in the creation of something
Truly Big.  Hope to hear from you soon.
