The Plantation – TELEVISUAL COMMUNICATION AND SPORT

Alien Base: The Evidence for Extraterrestrial Colonization of Earth – TELEVISUAL COMMUNICATION AND SPORT

During Pallmann’s third day on board the spacecraft at the plantation, he observed Xiti talking to her parents on a two-way communication system similar to a television. On touching it, however, he discovered that, just like the spacecraft itself, it seemed to be of a biophysical nature. The conversation was in the Itibi Rayans’ own language, which Pallmann described as ‘a rather high- pitched melodic whispering, very charming and . . . with humorous undertones’.

He was also able to see Xiti’s parents’ home and others in the neighbourhood. ‘At one time, Xiti also spoke to a neighbour of her parents and the “eye- generator” had “gone” directly into the inside of her house, also very charmingly decorated with symbols similar to those I saw within the spacecraft.’

To Pallmann’s surprise, Xiti then ‘switched channels’, as it were, to a sporting event. ‘I must say it was one of the hardest games I ever saw in my entire life.’

I understood that the huge amount of players, perhaps 7,000 young men, were engaged in a giant-size ball game, where a final selection of the most able and strongest also ended with the victory of the most intelligent team. To play this substitute for war, the young Itibi Rayans used several hundred computerized, electronically controlled gadgets, very similar to multicoloured footballs. I understood that not the referee, but the different balls (perhaps also interconnected with each other) have to decide the game. To me, the whole thing looked like football on a giant chess board, played rapidly over a playing field of about five [square] miles. Decisions were made by those having reached a higher commanding status because of bravery and intelligent behaviour.

The hardness and often brutal behaviour of many lower-rank players really surprised me. It seemed to be absolutely contrary of what I had thought about the Itibi Rayans so far. I asked Xiti about it . . . she explained that these events have prevented war and bloodshed for many thousands of years. And yet, these games, she said, made it possible to keep the inborn and instinctive fighting condition of mankind intact. There is also the genetic reason to keep fit, to be healthy through hardship and sporting bravery.
