Alien Base: The Evidence for Extraterrestrial Colonization of Earth – FURTHER COMMUNICATION
It was not until April 1954 that Alan once again re-established communications with Daniel Fry. At the time, Fry was relaxing in his retreat, deep in the woods of southern Oregon. As before, Alan was not present in person, but his voice was unmistakable. No device was used on this occasion; instead, communication was supposedly achieved directly via ‘electronically boosted telepathy’.
Alan began by admonishing Fry for not having spoken publicly about his experience. Fry replied that, in the first place, he was afraid that any report by him might endanger Alan’s proposed visit to Earth; secondly, he was unknown, apart from within the rocket industry. How therefore could he reach the people? ‘Those who are not blind to the truth can recognize the value of a message regardless of the status of the messenger,’ Alan responded. ‘Our estimate of four years for adaptation to your environment was overoptimistic. The actual time will be closer to five. In the meantime, one of your major problems is becoming critical. Unless some small balancing force is applied in the right quarters, your entire civilization may wipe itself out . . . before we are in a position to be of assistance.’
Fry was asked to write down his experiences in a book, and to repeat through newspapers, radio and television what he had learned. ‘You don’t realize what you are asking,’ said Fry. ‘If I attempt to make public the information you have given me, it will only mean that I will be scorned and ridiculed . . . If I give a statement to our newspapers, they will either ignore it or print a comic distorted version.’
‘Of course you will be ridiculed,’ was the reply. ‘Ridicule is the protective barrier which the timid or the ignorant erect between themselves and any possibility which frightens or disturbs them . . . It is the price exacted from every individual who is as much as one step in advance of his fellows.’
‘Why don’t you just set a small landing craft down on the White House lawn some morning, ask for worldwide communications facilities, and give your information and advice to the whole world at once?’ asked Fry. ‘Such a simple solution is only wishful thinking on your part,’ replied Alan. ‘If you think a little, you will see that there are many reasons . . . why such a course would not be successful.’
. . . If we were to appear as members of a superior race, coming from ‘above’ to lead the people of your world, our arrival would seriously disrupt the ego balance of your society. Tens of millions of your people, in their desperate need to avoid being demoted to second place in the universe, would go to any lengths to disprove, or simply deny, our existence. If we took steps to force the acceptance of our reality upon their consciousness, about 30 per cent of the people would insist upon considering us as Gods, and would attempt to place upon us all responsibility for their own welfare.
This is a responsibility we would not be permitted to assume, even if we were able to discharge it . Most of the remaining 70 per cent would adopt the belief that we were planning to enslave their world, and many would begin to seek means to destroy us. If any great and lasting good is to come from our efforts, they must be led by your own people, or at least by those who are accepted as such . . .
