Alien Base: The Evidence for Extraterrestrial Colonization of Earth – THE CRAFT AND COSMONAUTS
‘I pulled up at a certain distance from the foot of the mountain,’ continued H.M., ‘and the man pointed into the dark area formed by its shadow. “There, please, there!” he said, meaning that Ishould drive nearer to the rock face. And, as we moved into the shadow and my eyes got used to the darkness, Iperceived that there was a strange object there . . . it was about 100 metres or so from the road, and in the zone of shadow cast by the mountain.’
It was quite big. Its diameter may have been between 10 and 15 metres or so. It wasn’t very high. Maybe, from the feet up to the top it could have measured say four metres or so. In the under part I could see an opening which was lit up and some steps which, as I was able to ascertain shortly afterwards, led to the interior of the machine [see Fig. 4]. I stood there, dumbfounded.
The man invited me to enter . . . I won’t deny that I felt afraid. So I just said nothing, like someone who feels distrust. But the man insisted, and with a friendly gesture invited me to go with him into the machine. And I stepped inside ahead of him. Inside the object, which was completely circular, there were other men. A total of four more, in fact.
One of them was lying stretched out. Apparently, so my companion explained to me, they had had a slight accident, and the recumbent man had got burnt. Then I replied that I would like to get a bit closer so as to be able to see the wounded man. But my companion said no, that I must not move from the spot where I was. So there I stayed, just by the entrance . . . It was a circular room. There were square windows all around it, and under these windows a sort of circular couch going all the way round.
The men were all shorter than I am . . . maybe 1.50 metres or 1.60 metres. In the area where the windows were, the ceiling was somewhat curved. In the centre of the room there were some levers, like the ones used in railway signalling boxes. These levers were set in a small rectangular area and were about one metre in height. The top of these levers ended in a sort of ‘fork’, like those on the hand-brakes in the older types of cars . . . Maybe there were eight, set in two rows. What I can say is that each lever emerged from the inside of the machine. I could see the rectangular slot quite clearly. And over on the other side of the room I saw a sort of table. But it wasn’t a table . . . I thought it might possibly be an instrument-panel of some sort, but I could see no instruments on it. This is my own line of work, so I can assure you that I took a good look at it.
Another detail which surprised the witness was the lighting described as ‘very white’ — the source of which could not be discerned. ‘I couldn’t see any lights anywhere,’ he explained to Benitez. ‘It was just as though the light was coming from the walls or the ceiling or from everywhere, all at once.’ This interesting feature correlates with descriptions given by a number of contactees over the years.
‘And what were the crew doing?’ asked Benitez. ‘Well,’ replied H.M., ‘the man who had accompanied me set down the can of water near where the other four were, and then came back to where I was standing.’
The men were all dressed in a sort of beige-coloured laboratory overall which fell to below the knees, fastened with a belt. The rest of the clothing was not ‘abnormal’ in any way — though perhaps abnormal in its normality! ‘They were wearing trousers and shoes,’ said H.M. ‘I imagine that if these had been different from ours I would have noticed it.’ ‘What might have been the age of the man who talked to you?’ asked Benitez. ‘He was a bit older than the others,’ replied H.M., ‘maybe he might have been 40-plus.’ ‘And how were their faces?’ ‘I noticed nothing strange about them. Maybe their foreheads were a bit more pronounced . . . ‘And their hair?’ Not very long. And the same on all of them. It wasn’t black hair maybe chestnut coloured. As I said, it wasn’t strange in any way.’ ‘Were they muscular in their build?’
‘No. Rather on the slim side. Their hands reminded me somewhat of the hands of women.’
Did you notice if they had beards?’ ‘No. They had no beards at all. It is curious; it seemed as though they had never had any beard.’ ‘And were their movements normal?’ ‘Yes, completely. As I have already said, there was nothing about them that might have caught my attention.’ ‘Were they talking to each other?’ ‘I don’t think so. One thing is certain, and that is that those four did not even turn to look at me when I entered the craft.
They seemed to be engaged in attending to the injured man who, as I have said, was stretched out on the circular couch running round the whole interior of the machine. When my companion returned to where I was, I asked him if they needed a doctor. But he said they did not. It was he who then asked me whether there were any matters on which I would like to ask questions and be given information. And I said yes, naturally.’
PROPULSION AND ORIGIN
‘I said that, being an instrumentation engineer, I was puzzled to see no panels or navigation instruments,’ continued H.M. ‘I also asked him how the machine worked.’
I asked: ‘Where are the engines?’ To which he replied: ‘We don’t have any engines.’ So I asked: ‘Then how do you navigate?’ and at this he pointed to the levers and said: ‘We have a different system. We nullify gravity. That is how we rise.’ I asked him how they overcame gravity, and he replied that they used a very heavy fluid, which circulated in a tube. And with this system they created a magnet . . . That is to say, somewhat as we do with electromagnets, except that they, instead of using electricity, were using this fluid . . . So then I thought of mercury.
Meanwhile, the man continued his explanation to me Apparently this fluid was subjected to a velocity similar to the velocity of light; that is to say, the velocity of electricity. But, I answered: ‘That is impossible inside a tube.’ ‘No,’ he replied, ‘it is simple. When the fluid is leaving the tube, it is already entering at the other end. Thus, its relative speed is infinite . . .’ So it seems that, on the basis of this system plus a few ‘magnets’ of a kind which clearly do not exist on our planet, these beings had achieved enormous velocities and were able to conquer gravity . . .
I asked where they came from. He pointed towards the stars and said: ‘From there.’ I even insisted on wanting to know from which cardinal point in the sky they came, but he simply kept repeating: ‘From there.’ And then he rapidly changed the subject. It was obvious that he did not want to say any more about that. So, after we had chatted for about 15 or 20 minutes, he pointed in a friendly manner towards the door and invited me to leave — and I did. I went down out of the machine and departed . . .
A DREAM?
The witness estimated that the entire episode had lasted for about 45 minutes. ‘And I can assure you,’ he told Benitez, ‘that they were the strangest minutes of my whole life.’ Apparently, he simply left the craft standing there in the dark: there is no mention of his having observed it take off. ‘Next day,’ he said, ‘thinking it had all been a strange dream, I went back to the spot.
And there were some very strange marks there. And, on top of that, there was the matter of my can, which we had to carry the water in, and which now was missing . . . Had it been a dream, I would have forgotten about it straight away. But this was something very different from a dream. And I remember it all still with absolute perfection, and in all its details . . .’
