Continuing Contacts: A SAFE HOUSE

Alien Base: The Evidence for Extraterrestrial Colonization of Earth: A SAFE HOUSE

At that time, Joelle did not accept the fact of flying saucers. She assumed that this was a highly advanced aircraft, perhaps of Soviet origin, its occupant a spy liaising secretly with Rosamund’s husband. So she decided to wait before driving to Rosamund’s house, finding out what she could, then perhaps reporting the matter to the police.

Half an hour later, she knocked at Rosamund’s door. The scientist (whom I shall call Jack) opened the door cautiously and asked what she wanted. Joelle gave the excuse that she had interviewed his wife the day before and needed to double-check some questions. Jack made as if to close the door, but at that point Mark — now dressed in terrestrial clothes — interjected. ‘That’s alright, Jack,’ he said, let her in.’ Reluctantly, Jack opened the door and showed Joelle into the living room.

‘Why don’t you tell us the real reason you’re here?’ began Mark. ‘Because I need to check some questions with Rosamund for my market research survey.’ ‘That’s not true, Mrs—.’
Joelle swore to herself. ‘Tut, tut,’ said Mark, teasingly. ‘You shouldn’t swear like that.’

How had he known that she had sworn? ‘You came here,’ continued Mark, ‘because you saw my craft and wanted to find out what was going on, didn’t you?’ Reluctantly, Joelle admitted the truth. And from then on, she was ‘let in’ on the alleged alien liaison. The discussion that night lasted well into the small hours.

At first incredulous, she gradually accepted the sensational truth: that Mark was indeed a man from another world. For the next 15 months or so, Joelle had a total of about eight and a half hours of meetings with Mark and another member of his race, a man who, because his deep voice sounded like that of the actor Valentine Dyall, was given the name of Wan These meetings reportedly took place at several locations in England, including at least two in Joelle’s London flat, near Earls Court
