Alien Base: The Evidence for Extraterrestrial Colonization of Earth – SUSPENDED IN TIME
Among the assorted phenomena inextricably woven into the UFO mystery, that of time distortion is particularly perplexing. This phenomenon should not be confused with missing time, which, though related, I regard as a separate issue.
While many researchers opt for esoteric explanations for time distortion, my feeling is that some extraterrestrials, by means of highly advanced technology, are able to manipulate space and time. Consider the following case, translated by Gordon Creighton from a prominent Brazilian magazine.
Nélson Vieira Leite, a prominent businessman and farmer from Itaperuna in the state of Rio de Janeiro, had spent the day on his farm, the Fazenda Toyota, which lay some 40 minutes by car from the town. The date: 27 May 1971.
Towards sundown, while waiting for his cousin, Manoel Carlos, to pick him up, Sr Leite observed a light, pale at first but becoming increasingly bright, then blinding, as it approached him and came down in a meadow, without actually touching the ground. Leite went over to take a closer look.
A greenish object, ‘resembling a soup-plate upside down’, hovered less than a metre from the ground. Nervously approaching it, Leite had reached a point about 10 metres away when he suddenly found that he was no longer walking; that he had not in fact been walking for what seemed some minutes. By now, he had lost all sense of time. However much he tried, he could not walk. It was not a case of total paralysis, because he was able to wave his arms about; he was unable to walk forwards, as though an invisible barrier prevented him from doing so, and perhaps that is what it was. The craft, meanwhile, emitted a humming sound and a weaker light, though sufficient to illuminate the surrounding area.
Behind him, Sr Leite heard his cousin shouting. As Sr Carlos began running towards him, he was struck down. ‘He was knocked right out,’ reported the journalist, ‘knocked out just as though he had been run over, or had walked into plate-glass doors.’ Carlos remained unconscious for two hours.
By this point, Leite was not only frightened but also overwhelmed by depression as he pondered his inability to extricate himself. Gazing at the craft, still suspended about a metre above the ground, he noticed a brighter band of light around it, as though coming from portholes of some sort. Leite himself felt suspended — suspended in time. As the journalist described it: ‘Everything was going on just as though it had been just like this for a long, long time. How much time actually did elapse he was subsequently able to estimate: about 20 minutes, at the outside. But at the time, to Nélson Leite, it was 20 years.’
The light from the disc now began to grow stronger and the hum more piercing, until Sr Leite was obliged to put his hands over his ears. And the flying saucer took off, straight up, slowly at first, then moving so rapidly that immediately it was no bigger than a star in the sky.
At last, Leite was able to walk away from the spot. Later, when Carlos had recovered consciousness, the two examined the area over which the craft had hovered. The long grass seemed scorched. ‘It must have been something to do with extraterrestrial beings, people like us, or a bit different,’ Nélson Leite told the journalist. ‘But nothing beyond the bounds of what is rational.
