PART 3
MORE ON THE UMMO CASE

After having long thought, sixteen years after having landed on Earth, the UMMO's would have decided to diffuse thousands pages of texts.

Those would have been composed in such a way that the contactees could not really understand them scientifically. So, the incredibility would have been maintained, without adding some false elements. We may compare this bribes of knowledge as pieces of a puzzle.

The Ummites would have sprayed, here and there, some pieces, so that the probability for a man of the Earth, a scientist, to understand them is negligible (evaluated to one over three millions). With this precaution, they could have include some authentically information about their planet. We may judge to believe them or not.

Someone would had messed this game: me (it means the French scientist P-P Petit). They have admitted it, in a letter I received in 1992, and mailed from Ryad, Saudi Arabia (this people travels a lot). Ummites, in their calculation, would have neglected than a man of the Earth could own that they don't : imagination, which allows the player to reconstitute the missing clues.

Anyway, the scientific information given in the documents are not easy to use. One must have a large mathematical knowledge. General relativity is, as you may think, not understandable by every man. But working several years on the subject, I could transform these information into science, and give to the UMMO case scientific existence, afflicting the Ufologist which are particularly allergic to my works, may be because it is now situated far over their competence.

How have reacted the Ummites in front of this new problem?

During fifteen years they just said nothing. Since 1990, accepting the reality after the publication of a first book, they decided to write me personally. I will speak about that with more details in this book. These communications are situated on the scientific level. They give new clues to this strange "ape" that, against their probability calculations, somebody here hade been able to understand and to put together the pieces of the puzzle. I then participate to a new type of experiment.

In fact, now, we are five, for four top-level scientists joined me.

Development of the contactees net

As we said before, Sesma (below picture) received, in 1967, masses of reports and read them loudly in his club. They were describing the everyday's life on this strange planet, the habits of its inhabitants, their social behavior, their political organization and their history. All that was mixed with information about the propulsion of their machines, the way of traveling over many light years, biology, their theory of evolution, and even their metaphysics.

The Ummites indicated to Sesma that they were not typing the texts themselves, but were helped by a steno-typist, paid by them, and living in the Spanish capital. He was mailing the letters to different persons, to addresses given by his unconventional "employers".

In the fifties, the Ummites took contact with the Earth, in circumstances we will describe later because they are very funny. They would have then traveled all over the Earth, in different countries ( including the United States, of course). After becoming familiar to our languages, they wished to communicate with us, first by phone, then through writings, which was less dangerous for them. To do so, a group located in Australia, near the town of Adelaide, would have modify a terrestrial type-writer machine to be able to command it by voice.

The Ummites are very clumsy, as they admitted shameless. As one of them wanted to drive a car, in Australia, he had an accident and died, they said. You may ask how these lubberly people could have develop such a technology on their planet. That has not been reached in one day.

We already mentioned that they are hemeralopic, living essentially during the night. The day, they simply sleep, like owls.

At the beginning of their history, they would have live in burrows, like rabbits. After, they would have build a complex underground architecture. On UMMO, the visible buildings, constructed on the floor, have essentially industrial or scientific functions.

As they arrive on Earth, what we will describe precisely later, they choose quite rapidly a semi-wild region, to avoid being discovered too fast. They found a little hill near the small town of Digne, situated in south of France. Naively, seeing all this constructions they thought to have landed near a scientific complex. They said to have been very amazed as they discovered that people were just living in these constructions.

One must read, in this report called "the first days on Earth", the anxiousness of these people, getting in touch with our floor, expecting immediate attack from Earth's inhabitants, rushing out from underground habitations.

The Ummites say to have built contacts with lots of other extraterrestrial groups. We may deduce that this way of living, like moles, is usual and that we may represent an exception on this point. We will see later why.

The texts give numerous details, sometimes flavorful, about the History of this hypothetical planet UMMO. Along their History they would have, as we did, developed a technology. At the beginning these people would have used their hands. But once day, came the invention where the use of manual capabilities was no longer necessary. Our technologies, with the emergence of informatics and robotics, converge in that direction. We also have voice controlled machines. Our robots become, slowly, intelligent.

The Ummites' technology is situated at the horizon of ours.

• The first age of technology was pure mechanics. We learned building tolls, to hew stones, to sew clothes.

   

• Second step, with the invention of fire we developed chemistry. We transformed the food, we hardened the points of our arrows. Then we discovered metals and energy sources. We find oxydo-reduction, created alloys and learned to melt pieces and to forge them.

   

• Third step: the nuclear. We only are at the beginning on this point. But it is evident that in some centuries, if we do not have crashed ourselves with our rotten bombs, we will develop production systems of unlimited energy, non polluting.

The Ummites would have reached this stadium since centuries. They also have no more pollution problems as they became masters in the art of nuclear transmutation. They know how to transform their wastes in neutral matters like helium.

They also say to have no problem in becoming raw materials. When they want to build a machine with such or such atoms, they do not look for them in nature, but would build them using the stones on the roads or the nitrogen of the atmosphere.

The Ummites possess, of course, computers, with a power which compared to ours, would look like abacus compared to a Cray-2. A set of computers would manage the whole planet, not only the production chains, but also the social net. This society reached, after an History, as much turbulent as our, a perfect social stability.

In short, the Ummites would no more work. As playing tennis or golf would never occur to their mind, they no more have the use of their hands.

They also say that they have no real vocal strings, but quite primitive pharyngeal structures (what would give us a very nasal voice on the phone). This phonation organ would disappeared at puberty for most of the individuals. They would then be fitted with an amplification system constituted of two elements. The first, so big as a pea, would be implanted by surgery under the tongue, for all their life. The second would pick up the signal emitted by the first and would produce audible sounds. They would wear it hanged on their neck as a necklace.

By the way, they would trans-code the weak sounds emitted by their organ in two ways. The deep sounds would be amplified to hold a conversation. The higher sounds would be changed in ultra-sounds, and would control their machines.

So, when a Ummites speaks with deep tons, he discusses with another Ummites. If they go higher in frequency, they speak to their computers or vacuum cleaner.

As they no more used their hands, the Ummites would have changed them into sensitive organs, through genetic manipulations.

Our skin is plastered of cells which are sensitive to infrared. This is not of use, except to avoid, at the last moment to be burned by a fire. For the Ummites, being with night habits, the infrared perception was at the beginning mostly important, like olfaction. They would have then developed it artificially and could, with the help of the skin on their hands, see pictures, more fuzzy than the one of the retina, but still reliable.

Corollary: their skin would be so sensitive, too sensitive so that they could not make some manipulations, as for instance pushing the button of an elevator. They would use therefore their "nodes of fingers", they mean the articulations.

That would explain why the Ummites would have equipped a writing machine with a voice control system, what could have produced a mess. Effectively, detected by the secret services on this country, they had, according to the texts, to leave their hotel room in a rush and have hidden their devices in a laundry basket, that happily no one discovered. They would have pick them back afterwards, with great fear.

A spy must take with him as less gadgets as possible, which could revealed his identity. A good killer kill with a kitchen knife or an electric cable, it's well-known.

The Ummites who came on Earth would be chosen beyond those who have a phonation organ not too degenerated. Whether the presence of sound emitter, on their clothes would be noticed. In general they avoid to carry hi-tech alien technology.

After this incident, the members of the expedition would have estimated that it would be more secure to hire the services of a steno-typist, more than hanging around with writing machines, equipped with system from another planet (some terrestrial machines would have been taken back on UMMO and modified).

They would then have some secretaries, in different countries, paid by them.

Landing of a Ummite vehicle at San José de Valdeiras, near by Madrid, in 1967

The Spanish secretary sent lots of letters to different persons since months, as one of his "boss", called DEI 98, dictated him a letter about the arrival of three vessels on Earth. One of them should land near Madrid, some days later. The man posted the letter to several persons, as asked by the guy.

Sesma and now half a dozen people received this mail. The landing area was not indicated with precision "for security reasons". The Ummites just gave a approximation of the latitude and longitude and some time indications.

Some contactees waited for the event at home. Some others, more enthusiastic, went on site with cameras, in case of a UFO sighting.

None of them could take photos of the vessel, which landed anyway in the suburb of Madrid, in San José moreover Valdeiras, as reported by the witness of this landing. The vehicles let large tracks on the floor which have been photographed.

Figure 7.

One of the traces left on the floor by the vessel,

at San José Valdeiras, photographed by Rafael Farriols and Antonio Ribera.

The press has been informed of this affair, which made the first page of all newspapers. Thirty years later, the landing of San José de Valdeiras is still discussed, like all UFO cases are discussed. Let's say it was the landing of an unidentified object with traces on the floor.

The feelings of the Ummites' secretary

As he saw all this story, the secretary went into panic. Till now, he did not ask himself lots of questions about his employers. They were paying him very generously, and, in this time of unemployment, that was worth. But, having sent a letter announcing the arrival of a UFO, which really came scared him.

With a terrible fear, he sent, without revealing his identity, a letter to all the people to whom he sent the reports of the previous months.

This letter is quite amusing. The day before the landing of this "cosmic vehicle" (which would have simply picked up to members of the expedition: sir DEI 98 and miss YU 2, to bring them back home), the Ummites would have ask him to house them.

What they would have accepted. The story is here flavorful. Half a dozen Ummites would be arrived, at dawn. The wife of the secretary, had prepared a meal that the visitors refused, says the letter. They would have slept on the floor on some sort of foam, deposited with a spray, which would have evaporated in the morning 15.

The steno-typist and his wife would not have close an eye during the whole night. Through the window of the lounge, a Ummite, dumb like a fish would have sent little balls which would have flown in the neighborhood's streets.

- Some monitoring devices, moving with MHD, would have explained on of the member of the group to their hosts.

This landing affair also destabilized the group of "the happy whale". Esoterism, yes, real flying saucers which land, this was no more acceptable at all !

In the mean time, the group became larger. Beyond its member were now the engineer named Villagrassa and the writer and journalist Antonio Ribera (image right). He was the perfect copy of Grouch Marx and had once written to the American actor, reproaching him to use his image to make money. Groucho, amused, answered him very kindly.

One day when the radio announced that a saucer had landed at San José de Valdeiras, Rafael Farriols (image below) was in his car, not far from there with his wife Carmela.

Naturally curious, he went on the site and found the engineer Villagrassa, completely disappointed with many cameras hanging on his neck.

- I knew they would come ...
- You knew what ? asked Farriols (pictured above).

Villagrassa told him the whole story that Farriols found very amusing, so that he decided to join the group of "the happy Whale", which was very shocked. Rafael wanted to know more and try to buy the documents owned by Sesma. As he was very rich (he was the director of a Plexiglas factory in Barcelona) he was ready to give a big amount of money for this acquisition.

But Sesma got rid of his whole documents for a ridiculous sum, as if they were burning his fingers and ceased to show any interest for this UMMO affair, preferring to limit his contacts with "Martians" and "Venusians".

Ribera gave a copy of all letters he personally received to a priest, the father Guerrero, a fanatic esoterist. As the news of the landing came to the public, the religious man became completely mad and began to speak to all journalist he met.

The newspapers said in this occasion:

- An extraterrestrial colony is living in an underground cave, in the Sierra of Gredos, nearby Madrid.

The Ummites went into panic and left Spain immediately. If father Guerrero would not have revealed every thing the whole story would have kept the confidentiality wanted by the authors of the letters till the beginning. The landing affair would have been one more case in the swamp of UFO cases.

Believing the texts received by the Spanish several years later, the group of contactees in Spain would be a group beyond ten others dispatched all over the world. They would be particularly some in France, Germany, Italy, Australia, Russia, Canada, Zimbabwe, Denmark and of course the United-States.

The Ummites would have ask all theses contactees to be very discrete, or they would stop sending information, and their disciples would have obeyed their orders. The Spaniards received at the same period a letter from a Canadian contactees :

- Why do you have chatted about all that ? You perfectly know we have the instruction to keep quiet.

But they give no names or addresses. The Ummites say in the reports which came to the Spaniards long after the affair of San José moreover Valdeiras that they started a large disinformation, what we are used to now.

One of their agents, or one of them, would have given to the press a camera film with very clear pictures of the vessel, flying in the suburb of the town, and which have been largely reproduced in the newspapers and in book related to UFOs.

Figure 8.

The Ummites sign may be seen on the bottom side.

The group of Madrid and the group of Barcelona

The human behavior, facing such affair, is interesting, everyone finally, looking through with a different eye. For a man like father Guerrero, reading these sheet produced a real mystic delirium. Sesma preferred to keep on with other dreams, less real and then less distressing. The Ummites, after a moment of worry, asked themselves whether they would keep on or not the Spanish experiment.

After many days, they found it to be a good way of studding how the public could react to some information about their existence and about the UFO problem in general. Contrarily to their worries, the affair went rapidly down and disappeared in the background noise of the Ufologist.

They began their mailings again. Beyond the addressees was now included Rafael Farriols, who would become the archivist of the case. This was a equilibrated man, with a solid sense of humor. Around him was constituted the group of Barcelona. In the members, a certain Barranechea, an old communist, and Farriols secretary Hiltrud Franz, whose nickname was Lou.

In Madrid where members of the first hours, Jordàn Peña (below image), psychologist, engineer Domingez and physician Auguire. The affair went slowly during years. The reports kept on coming and Rafael was archiving them very precociously. I had contact with the affair at this period.

I became the friend of Ribeira and Farriols, I met the others at different occasions.

Peña was a strange and secret man. Dominguez (engineer and electronic) and Aguirre (physician) were believing to be elected. It looks like two clubs, distant geographically, which were meeting from time to time, to bring information in common. We will come back on the story of these nets afterward and on what happened to each of them.

 

Who is at the origin of Ummites reports?

I (Mr. Petit) am writing these lines in 1995. The first documents have been received in Spain in 1966. This affair lasts since 29 years. Personally, I paid some interest, and also took an active part in it, since 20 years.

Who is hidden behind this fabulous story ? A group of funny scientists ? The intelligence services of some powerful country? Or really extraterrestrials in flesh and bones ? Interesting question.

Let's discuss the first hypothesis. The one of a crazy scientist, unique author of all these text, is not credible, because the reports touch too different domains. Overall, the whole information is self-consistent. The different reports are connected one to the other. It seems to have a very strong underground logic.

This means that an interdisciplinary group should have been constituted with several crazy scientists, very tenacious, to have kept on this experiment during so much time. With which goal ? To be amused by some Spaniards, unable to understand a line of these texts ? This makes no sense. On the other side, as these texts are scientifically very productive, I can't imagine some scientist making such gifts.

The given indications, for instance in cosmology, were quite precise. They involved me in building an original model concerning the twin structure and the evolution of the Universe, which is something. These scientific works are not inconsistent deliriums, whether I could not have published them in high level revues, which have the reputation to be very cautious. Their implications are important. We will come back on them later.

We explain, beyond other things, the large structure of the Universe and the origin of the spiral shape of galaxies. Our last work ( see the appendix ) identifies the matter of the twin Universe to the cosmological anti-matter. This building fits perfectly the information presented in the Sesma book, in 1967. This anti-matter is enantiomorphic and owns an opposite time arrow.

A student in science could not have produce the keys concerning a new cosmological solution. In case of a "funny scientist", he would have to build this solution, achieve the work, in a relatively precise way.

Let me give you an analogy. The equation of general relativity are so complex, from a mathematical point of view, that it is impossible to give indications by just writing anything, by hazard. This is equivalent of give the first five numbers of a safe combination which would have seven numbers. If by manipulating the lock of the safe after many tries and efforts the door would open, this means that the one who gave the first five numbers knew the complete combination.

If the author would have given them by hazard, the safe could not have been opened. If one or several scientists are at the origin of the key-information, they would have already build the whole basic theory, very complex. In this case, why haven't they published immediately this work? In the scientific world, people do not make such gift, of such an importance.

This remark is also true for the hypothesis of a manipulation by some secret services. Some have given this explanation, involving ... the KGB, with the goal of "destabilizing Spain and prepare the period after Franco".

This is absurd for two reasons:

• The mailing of document continued after Franco's death (I have received my last letter a week ago).

• The falling down of USSR and the disorganization of the KGB, in 1990, did not slow down the arrival of document and the funny telephone calls.

Some also pretend I am the author of these texts. Let me tell you at this point a funny story. Just after the publication of this book in France, where I decided to reveal the source of my works, a mathematician in Lyon wrote me these lines:

Dear sir,

The president of the University gave me your book, saying it was fascinating most of his students. He asked me, as I know general relativity quite well, to make a severe critic of it. I then read the scientific appendix where your scientific publications are reproduced, and analyzed them. I could not find any errors. These work are of great quality, and I want to congratulate you to have invented all this story about extraterrestrials to get the attention of people on this work.

Best regards.

This does not fit the hypothesis where I would have been the author of these texts. Effectively, they have been written in 1967, at a period when I was still a simple student. Sesma published most of them in a book the same year, under the title "UMMO, otro planeta habitado", which means "UMMO another inhabited planet".

If this mathematician of Lyon was right, I should have, as I was a simple student, to cosign all these key-scientific information in a book written in a language I do not speak, and to published this work telling myself "I will use that in twenty five years, when I will be scientist ..."

What remains? The hypothesis of an extraterrestrial origin of course. I know this may sound vertiginous, but it is eventually the most logical one


 

Other aspects of the UMMO affair

The UMMO affair is not only a gathering of reports received by postage, or notes taken during calls. There exist real anecdotic facts. Rafael Farriols owns, for instance, a magnetic tape of the voice of these persons. The affair goes back to the end of the sixties. One night, a man was driving on the road between Barcelona and Madrid. He was the signing clerk of the Rothschild bank institute. Suddenly, on the road's side what did he saw? A saucer with some man beside it. Very helpful, he stopped, thinking "may be he has a breakdown" In such peculiar situations, the head of people are often having very ridiculous thoughts.

The man had a fully normal appearance, and was speaking in Spanish, pretending he was originated from earth, and that his ancestors have been kidnapped on a planet far away.

- But, asked the banker, you never thought of escaping?
- Not at all. When I see what happens here, this does not incite me to come back.

Both went their way. The Madrilenian went back home, driving normally, calmly, after having quitted the pilot of the saucer. At home, his wife was waiting for him. He told him the story. Suddenly he had terrible nervous shocking, and had a strong psychological break-down, began to cry, as if he was living all this emotional charge afterwards. He spoke about his adventure around him.

The press reported this affair, but this was a UFO story beyond lots of other. At this time, this type of happening where very usual on Earth. Some days after the diffusion of the news on radio, he got a phone call from a man with the voice of Donald duck.

The man questioned him on his adventure and said frankly:

- We also are extraterrestrials, traveling on Earth, but we do not know this other ethnic group. We would like to meet you to discuss about that.

They took an appointment. In between, the protagonist of this story had been in contact with the group of Madrid. They all said:

- These are the Ummites! This is their voices.

The day of the appointment, the flat was full. All were handing a list of questions they wished to ask to the travelers of the planet UMMO. Rafael Farriols was also there. Good technician, he equipped by hazard the phone with a mike connected to a tape. When you hear the tape they recorded this day, you can first hear the voice of the Spaniard, who tells his story with passion. Then the phone rings.

He took the headphone, and said more slowly:

- Here they are.

Farriols recorded then a monotonic voice, nasal, which says.

- Que sus hermanos reunidos en su domicilio no formulen preguntas. Pedimos perdon, señor, desconecto la communication. (The people joined in your flat should not ask any questions. Please excuse us, sir, I cut the communication.)

This sentence is repeated three times.

Of course, any joker could have done that, pinching his nose. In the seventies, Antonio Ribera gave me a copy of the recording, and I let it analyzed in the laboratory for phonetics of my University, in Aix-en-Provence. From these short message has been made a sonogram. In the abscissa, horizontally, the time. Vertically the frequency. It is the way of analyzing voices or sounds, human parole or bird singing.

The specialist in charge on this analysis told me:

- This is not a human voice. Look at the frequencies, they are quite stable in time. We call it "recto tono". The frequency spectrum is quite flexible, and a man can't keep stable frequencies when he pronounces vowels. Here, this constancy is very remarkable.

The person who made these sounds has a relatively rigid pharynx. Or may be it is a human voice transcoded by a "vocoder".

I don't think vocoder were existing at the time when this voice has been recorded. Let's add, that the frequency spectrum was matching with the information given by the Ummites about their quite primitive phonation organ. The UMMO affair is full of such peculiar details ( and I will tell about all of them in this book). Let's speak now about some other aspects.

In one of the reports, the authors speak about a phone conversation they had with a certain Theodore T. Polk, in Pittsburgh. He asked him why they call our planet OYAGAA, what they were translating "planet of the square".

Next, a part of their reports, devoted to this affair.

- We knew the existence of your planet by receiving a radio emission, in 1949 (Earth time). We knew afterwards, that it had been emitted during some short communication try, from a trawler based at Bergen, in Norway. The message took fifteen years before reaching UMMO, distant of fifteen light years from Earth. It was emitted in 1934. By increasing the frequency of your radio emitters, the electromagnetic waves could then cross the gas layers of the Earth atmosphere.

 

On UMMO we have big antennas flying in orbit around our planet. The received message was short: few ten seconds. Immediately, we admitted it was coming from intelligent beings, what surprised us a lot, as usually, life is not appearing around stars like your sun, with a gaseous envelope of a temperature of about six thousands degrees. Our sun Iumma, is colder: five thousand five hundred degrees only, and this is a general condition for all the inhabited planet we know.

Immediately we decided to send a first mission in direction of your planetary system. We tried without success to decipher your message, which was the alternation of long and short signals. At the end, one of us suggested that you tried to send us a theorem on the square. This is the reason why we call your planet the "planet of the square", which has evidently no thing to do with the real content of the message, as we understood years later. But the name stayed.

Reading these lines, I had the idea to localize Polk, in the United-States. This was not so easy, but I succeeded, thanks to friend living in Chicago. He was no more living in Pittsburgh, but in a suburb called Export.

I called him on the phone.

- Hello mister Polk ?
- Himself.
- Mister Theodore T. Polk ?
- Yes it's me.
- My call will surprise you, no doubts. I am a French scientist and I call you to ask you if you did not received some phone calls, in the sixties, of people pretending to come from another planet ?
- What a funny idea !?!
- Let's change the question, have you received at this period calls from persons who had some difficulties to speak, with duck-voices?
- No.

This looked like a false trail. The author of the document may had chosen this name by hazard. There must be a lot of Polk in Pittsburgh, given the large number of people living their, who have polish origins.

I asked by hazard a last question:

- Does the planet of the square has some meaning for you?

Polk lowered his voice and said:

- Yes, but I prefer not to speak about that on the phone.

I tried several times, through mails, to know more, but this was Polk who asked me questions, to which I answered. I told me simply that after this affair, he received lots of calls similar to mine, coming from different parts of the world, including Japan.

As I wanted to know more on the phone, he slept away:

- I thought a lot of time about writing you a letter, but I think this could have dramatic implications.

I could not know more. Polk, quite old, is dead today and took his secret with him. May be I fingered one of the member of the American net.

Other anecdotes refers to news items. The Ummites says, for instance, that after living two years in their refuge near Digne, they moved first toward Marseille, on the southern French coast, where I could not found their traces again, and went in different countries, Spain, Germany, and Australia. In each of these country, they say to have built quite large underground refuges. The one of the Sierra moreover Gredos, in Spain, could, believing them, house seventy people, when the one of Digne may receive only six and would measure four meters over height.

Apparently, their head-quarter would have been implanted in an underground base in Germany.

They would have thought less dangerous to fade into the population of large towns than to multiply the number of in and outgoing from their underground bases. So, as they wanted to settle in Spain, they would just have hired a room in the house of a woman, Doña Margarita Ruiz moreover Lihory, living in Albacete. This woman, who had been of the mistress of Franco, was belonging to the Spanish high-society. They have got her sympathy by curing some real diseases and other which were "imaginaries", by presenting themselves as Sweden physicians.

These Sweden would have then occupied, in her home, going out only night for security reasons. They would have arranged a laboratory in her cellar where they would have done biological experiments on animals ( at the beginning they thought about opening a veterinary hospital).

All that would have been perfect if the daughter of Doña Margarita had not done something they would not have foreseen and that had heavy consequences. She would have stolen the key of the room and would have inspected it during their absence.

The Ummites say that they were studying, at this time, some virus brought from their planet, which were not dangerous for the humans (because they consider to be human beings, even if they are genetically incompatible with us).

One the viral source brought from their planet would have become very aggressive to the human and the daughter of Doña Margarita would have contracted an infection. As she had plunged her arm in a tank and rubbed her eye, this infection would have damaged her hand and her ocular globe.

The Ummites would have been astound by this unforeseen consequences. They would have been in different places that this young girl has frequented, could have localized the infected people and cure them with the help of pulsed ultra-sounds, by making exploding on distance the envelopes of the viruses. But it would have been impossible to cure this way the young girl, whose state became very serious. The situation would have been so serious the the Ummites living in Germany, and particularly the so-called YU-2, chief of the earth expeditionaries, would have converged toward Albacete to have a crisis meeting.

The Ummites would have estimated that to cure the young girl could in the end reveal their presence on Earth and would have decided to let her die. As doctors, they would have signed the "permission to dispose of the body ". Till this point, these facts are verified. The daughter of Doña Margarita deceased effectively in mysterious circumstances. The Ummites then decided, prudently, to cut away the infected body parts, namely the hand and the eye.

But someone noticed that the corpse had been mutilated and the police began to investigate. The Ummites went away, and Doña Margarita was jailed and found guilty. The affair made a big noise in the Spanish town, as she was accused of having done some guilty practices on the body of her own daughter. She was finally excused, but died from sorrows some times later.

At this time the boy-friend of Doña Margarita daughter felt from a window and died. In the Ummites texts we learned that he would have entered the underground local and would have recuperated some devices there. The secret services of different countries, beyond these the CIA, were crawling in the region and would have taken contact with the young man. He would have un-carefully tried to sell them the devices. He would have been then assassinated.
Secret services, CIA, murder, is all that just a gathering of news items divers, well exploited ?

In the eighties, we went to visit Rafael Farriols, in his splendid hacienda situated on a hill, near the town of Argentona, not far from Barcelona. He had accepted to let us photocopy hundred of pages, what we did. On the way back home, as I was driving, my friend Jean-Jacques Pastor, who was my interpreter in this affair (Although from Spanish origin, I am not speaking this language), read with avidity this new crop of information.

Suddenly he had a surprise exclamation:

- Oh! Rafael forgot in this bundle of sheets a report coming from a private detective he would have paid to inquire on this affair of the cut hand of Albacete.
- So what!?
- There are some letters following. Apparently, Rafael has not told him really on what he was inquiring. The man says to have investigated on site, the house of Doña Margarita already have be destructed. But he found many things by asking the neighborhood. For example, as the house has been destructed, an underground laboratory has been found. It seems that there were large tanks with some animals body parts. There was even a horse-head!
- And then?
- In the next letters, the detective says he used the contacts he had with the policemen of the city and tried to know more (detective are often ancient policemen). He confirms the presence of secret services during the affair, and the suspicious death of the boy-friend of the young lady.
- And? ....
- The file ends with a last letter where he writes to Farriols: "I heard so many extraordinary things that I prefer coming to you and tell them by word of mouth "

The refuge of Digne

From any side you see this tentacular case, one fall on complicated things, expensive and hard to prepare.

The text of the first day on Earth gave some indications which could help to localize the cave where the first group of Ummites would have lived in 1950. They precise that this cave would still exists and that they stored there the devices of the first expedition. They propose to give them the earth authorities, the day they will reveal there presence on our floor. The Ummites give a certain number of points visible from the entry of the excavation.

It was said to be located in a foothill, not far from the White Horse mountain. From there one could see two rivers, the "Bléone" and the "Bès", the houses of "la Javie" village, Digne and its old cathedral, a rail road. Not far from this refuge were growing some plant species called Valeriana Celta and Erica carnea.

Fitted with these information, we did different reconnaissance, by foot. The UMMO affair is very stimulating for the intellect, but also very good for health. I would have never done so many walks in the mountains than to try to localize this damned refuge. In some years, Jean-Jacques and I we have climbed all tops of the region, one after the others, included this famous White Horse mountain, with its two thousands meter top.

We were leaving with a picnic and Jean-Jacques was often walking with his basset hound, Nestor, deceased today. The problem was not to loose the very undisciplined dog.

The task was complicated while Jean-Jacques made a little translation error. The text talked about the "vieja iglesia romana", what he translated with old romanic (Norman) church. But at Digne, there are two religious buildings, including effectively an old Romanic church, located at the border of the city.

In order to see it, we had to venture on the flanks of the White Horse mountain, what made us going quite high. But this was not coping with the information concerning the flora, which was also notified. The Ummites said to have found some winged insects (flies). The place we were exploring was to high for flies to live there.

We had the impression to live a story of Jules Verne and we had a lot of fun. But time went by and we had the impression to turn over and over. Then I read again the texts.

- Tell me one thing, Jean-Jacques, what means romana, in Spanish ?
- Romanic, I think.
- In the dictionary, I see this means roman.
- I made then a big mistake. This is the other church, more recent, the one which is in the centre of the village. But this sent us in a dead-end: this church in on the bottom of a hollow, like the town of Digne, which is belted with hills. I do not see from which place one could see it and also all other indicated points.
- To clear that up , we just have to climb on the bell-tower.

 

The priest was quite reluctant. He asked us why we wanted to climb on his church. We of course could not tell him we wanted to localize an extraterrestrial refuge. I do not remember what for excuses we invented then, but he finally gave us the authorization. From up there we a had a surprise. There is effectively a hill, the crest "moreover la Blache", which was visible, between two others, like through the sight of a flint.

The day after we took our rucksacks and assaulted this place, which had escaped till then to our investigations (we almost had climbed all other tops).

From up there we had the confirmation that all the indicated points were visible, and also the Roman cathedral, as follows:

as they may be observed from the top of the crest "moreover la Blache" (photo).

The crest "moreover la Blache" seen from the roman cathedral of Digne.

The Ummites texts were saying the truth. Whoever the author of the document was, this way only someone who knew perfectly the topology of this region. Another information confirmed the identification of the place.

A text says that the vessel has "re-materialized" itself, after a voyage in the "hyperspace" (we will evoke this aspect later, the traveling mode of the interstellar vessels) in a point situated at 13 km of Digne and at 8 km from la Javie. This was giving two circles which were not fitting. But, by getting more detailed reports, we learned at which altitude the machine had reappeared. It seemed logical it had started to fly down vertically.

I did some calculations and found perfectly the coordinates of the crest "moreover la Blache". See figure 11.

Road to Digne
 

The localization of the landing point and the surroundings of the cave was however not precise enough so that we could keep on our researches. We could not dig anywhere. God knows if this rotten cave even exists.

(Well, be sure that the international secret services have long ago located this spot and made all traces hidden for normal people to research - as this info on visitors from space is the most important theme to hold secret, so that people are prevented from getting PROOF for this - and some alternative thoughts from this slave-society on our earth, where the money-people rules everything.)

How do the Ummites text looks like

The contact between UMMO and the Earth would have been taken, according to the documents, in two times. After receiving the radio-message, in 1949, the Ummites would have fraught a vessel immediately and would have traveled towards our solar system.

The reader has the right to wonder "how are these people doing to travel over the fantastic distance of fifteen light years, with MHD (magneto-hydrodynamic)?". Legitimate question.

The vessels would be fitted with two types of propulsion, completely different. When they fly in our atmosphere, they would use MHD. But this system is full inefficient in space. First there is no fluid on which the vessel may act, second the distances are of another order of magnitude. Moreover, the "light-barrier" forbids to travel in our Universe at a speed over 300,000 km per second. This would be in opposition to the Special Relativity.

In fact, if one consider there is only one Universe, we found an impossibility and the authors of Science-Fiction who speak of "propulsion over light speed" are wrong. The Ummites texts from 1967 give two ways of getting rid of this difficulty: there would not be one Universe but two. This idea it the basis of all my theoretical articles, reproduced at the end of this book. In the second fold of the Universe the light speed would be fifty times higher. It would be sufficient to go from one side to the other, as we would take the underground subway. They just had to come back in our fold when arrived at destination. This ratio between the two light speed values would vary along the time.

So, the gain in time would depend of some "meteo-cosmical conditions". The Ummites evoke this phenomenon by speaking of large hyperspace folds. Before leaving, they have to be sure that the conditions are as best as possible, so that the time of travel is not prohibiting.

According to the authors of the documents, in 1949, would not have been so favorable, but the Ummites, very curious, would have however sent some people to visit the place, taking the occasion of one of these "hyperspatial windows". Even with their powerful optical observation systems, through such a distance, they could not have identified clearly all the planets of the solar system. Jupiter had been well localized, but they were not sure of the number of planets, more little, with overlapping signals.

The vessels, after "re-materialization" in the neighborhood of the solar system, would have first explored Neptune and Mars. At this distance from Earth, they would have received lots of emissions from the blue planet, what would have confirmed the presence of intelligent life. They would have stayed in orbit at an altitude of 350 km, and would have done the first bearing. They could then analyze the composition of the atmosphere and establish that it was very near theirs. Despite the large cloud cover, over the continents, they would have identified some straight shapes. They would have taken them for canalizations (it was in fact roads and rail roads).

More on their first landing here.

The first terrestrial flying machine detected was a plane, observed at vicinity of the Bahamas. The picture was zoomed, enhanced and analyzed with curiosity. The descent went on and new pictures were taken, corresponding to urban centers, forests, and floating structures. The first photographs of humans were done vertically from the Swiss agglomeration of Montereau.

The vessel would have then taken some altitude and all these information analyzed. Thought the pictures of human were relatively fuzzy, the differentiation of two genders could have been established on the basis of the presence, for certain individuals, of important mammals.

The pictures were not good enough to give details on clothing. We discovered however the correlation between the gender and the length of the hairs: women had a more abundant scull pilosity.

The presence of pipes, emitting some dark colored aerosols (factory chimneys) was a clue for us. The spectral analysis revealed it emitted some combustion residuals of hydrocarbons. This technology never have been used on UMMO, and we believed that this products were there to increases the components of the atmosphere, facilitating the breathing. This hypothesis was correlated by the observation of such cylinders in the mouth of some individuals, spitting out some chemical substances.

But not all inhabitants, particularly children, were equipped with such devices, what puzzled us even more.

We were stupefied by the richness and the variety of radio signals we could pick up and we asked ourselves what language were speaking the peoples of the Earth. Among this jumble we detected signals similar to those which had induced our coming on Earth and we deduced this must have been a common language to all Earth inhabitants.

The things became complicated, as flying over North America we picked up signals corresponding to TV broadcasting that we could not decode and that we understood as spoken languages, what increased our confusion. Comparing the signals corresponding to Morse, to the radio broadcasting we concluded that the inhabitants of this part of Earth were speaking three languages.

The Ummites would have gone back home. Fitted with these few information they would have decided to settle on Earth a little group, with the mission of digging a underground refuge and to explore the planet with some miniaturized probes, waiting for the bearing.

According to the texts, they overestimated fully our technical capacities and had foreseen the case where these six persons would have been captured by the men of the Earth :

A group of six of our brothers had been selected to establish the first vanguard on this new planet, composed of four men and of two women. All of them learnt some fragments of the different "languages" picked up, ignoring completely their signification.

The group would have been composed of six persons, four men and two women. Among the men was a specialist for biology of 31 years old, a psycho-biologist (18 years old), a specialist in communication (78 years old) and a sociologist (22 years old).

The feminine team would have been composed of a specialist for matter structure (22 years old) and an expert in pathology of the digestive system (32 years old).

Let the author of the document, who, if one believes him, would have belong to the first expedition:

- Concerning the most favorable moment for the start, we had not much chances. We were in the end of 1949, in terrestrial time. We foresaw that some years later the conditions would have been much better, but with a very bad probability. The departure decision was taken anyway. But effectively, If we could have start in 1952, our trip would have last only two months.

Our group was bringing a welcome message, written by the authorities of our planet, that we would have given the Earth authorities, in case of our hypothetic interception. This message had been written on a plate made of an alloy of iron, carbon and chrome-vanadium. This was a mixture of ideograms showing human gestures and human attitudes, combined with geometric figures, that an Earth-scientist, we thought, could have easily interpreted and that would have been a starting point for the communication between our two ethnic groups. The equipment we brought with us was quite complex, with a reduced volume.

Arriving in the Earth proximity we had no idea about the plant morphology and animals we would find there. We knew that the intelligent message we received could only come from beings with human shape 1?, but we did not know, given the great variability of species in function of biogenetic laws, like what these people would look like. Without data on the planet geophysics, which determine the evolution profile of leaving species and whose law we know quite well, we did not know if our immune system could stand the bacterial aggressions.

In prevision of such an eventuality we were clothed with an artificial epidermis, completely different of the clothing used by the terreans, which allows the sudation without letting chemical and biological products to get in. Near our natural orifices a series of devices had been placed, adapted to each organ function. Some capsules placed in our nasal fosse assured our oxygen alimentation from the transmutation of pure carbon. Our eyes and mouths were well protected.

Our alimentation was given by a device located in the lumbar region and which could push the food through two pipes. The first brought some solid food, with the help of mechanical cilium, to a hole ending on our inferior lip. The food were contained in some capsules that our spittle could liquefy. This system was controlled by coded signals from the eyelid (it was enough to blink several times with the eyes, with a code) The second pipe was bringing liquids.

The water was obtain mainly from the recycling of our urine after purification and enriching it with chemicals components. A rectal probe decomposed our stools in basic chemical elements. One part of those were gasified and transmuted into oxygen and hydrogen to synthesize water and compensate the loss to sudation. The rest was transmuted into helium, flowing outside. When we equipped so ourselves, the equipments are first put in place and the artificial epidermis is sprayed all over the body. We move perfectly free and we can evolve without risk in a biologically hostile area. Such an equipment may be completed with a new layer of metallized plastics, enforced with tiny meshes, which allows to move in the space vacuum when we visit, for instance an asteroid with no atmosphere.

This clothing is then more rigid but do not handicap our movements. In addition to this individual equipments, we had brought with us some device to synthesize some carbon-hydrats and other components of our basic alimentation from the gas elements of your planet, in case it would be impossible to ingest yours. We had some apparatus to record pictures and sounds, geologic probes as well as some devices to prepare our defense. This setup was completed with a whole set for making numerous measurements on the floor of your planet. We ignored all the detection devices and remote control you may own.

We had recorded your decimetric waves 20 and we knew that those could be used to localize us. In case where we would not have been detected during our landing, we had the order of building an underground observatory and to start from there the study of your planet. It was impossible for us to foresee the way the situation would evolve, and which point the observation of the psychological and social structure of Earth would reach.

The three vessels composing the vanguard fleet , with each twelve passengers on board, materialized them selves at 7338 meters high over the chosen landing site, in a semi wild region, this means were people rarely go, but where we could, with good optical instruments observed the behavior and habits of the inhabitants of a peaceful city in the south of France. They performed their descent night, the 24th of March 1950, at four in the morning, with a quite cloudy weather. The infrared cameras gave a first picture of the surroundings. No human beings could be detected.

We checked the floor looking for eventual underground habitations, but this test was negative. The feet of our vessels took contact with the stony floor and the six expeditionaries went out through some trap-door to take contact with the floor of this planet. We immediately began to dig a gallery by melting the stone and transmuting it into nitrogen and oxygen. In the same time some parts of the materials found there have been transmuted to transformed in extensible arch structure made of magnesium and aluminium. But this activity was requiring quite a lot of energy. Along the time, as our work went on, the clouds went away and the sun began to rise.

We were worried by the idea that the natives could have detected to some distances the steam clouds going up. Happily no inhabitants of the region noticed anything, and in the morning our work was achieved. Some food supplies were stored in the refuge, giving an autonomy of one year, and those who went back home said goodbye to our six brothers who would then live on this unknown planet. The chief of our expedition, with 36 persons, remained anxious. He was worrying that the space window which had allowed the travel could close, shortly that the space would unfold suddenly.

Eventually, the six expeditionaries observed the vessels flying rapidly up to an altitude of six thousands meters, and de-materialized after having heated their surface to incandescence, not to bring home some unknown germs from the twin Universe and from the planet they were originated. As the day began we could observed the surroundings quietly, staying hidden. We knew mostly nothing about the customs of the Earth inhabitants.

In the previous weeks we had done many reconnaissance with the help of automatic probes and we had obtained lots of pictures, which remained not understood. In our devices, we had no equipments allowing to catch TV broadcasting, what would have been very useful. On the other side we could receive the flow of radio emissions coming from the whole planet. We began to decode the local languages helped by our computer, but the linguistic diversity of your planet seemed creasy.

This part of the texts requires a explanation word. According to the reports, UMMO would not have known the phenomena called drift of continents. On Earth, this is responsible for the fragmentation of the initial continent: the Gondwana, and for the relief. When the continental plates hit each other, this created folds we call mountains. The Himalaya corresponds to the telescoping of India, which has went away from south Africa and which met Mongolia. The Alps corresponds to the movements of the Italian peninsula, which came rapidly into the rest of European continent. Just look to a map to be convinced of that.

If on Earth, the magma became stable and that the movements of tectonic plates ceased, the erosion would let our mountains disappear in some tens of million years. Our continents would become flat as our hands. Any geophysics specialist would confirm that. UMMO would not have and mountains (neither oceanic deeps), only some rests of volcano very eroded.

The Ummites gave us by the way a map of their planet:

Fig.12

A map of the UMMO planet

As indicated in the documents, the big lake, in the middle-right, named AUVOA SAOOAA, would have a surface of 276.000 km² and would correspond to an ancient meteorite impact. Some planets would have been deeply marked by such traces. The hidden face of the moon, explored by the Soviet Union, presents in its centre a huge impact which occupies an important part of its surface.

On the Ummites planisphere, the circular relieves would correspond to old volcanoes, but would be very eroded. Nothing to do with what we found on Earth. The sinus lines would be rivers, few kilometers large. The little spots show agglomerations (27% of the population would live there).

We tried to reconstitute approximately the look of this planet, starting from this planisphere:

Figure 13

The UMMO planet
( reconstitution based on the planisphere).

No one can say if these information corresponds to reality or not. But if one suppose it is the case, here is what the Earth expeditionaries would find there. On one half of the planet, we would find a unique continent and on the other a vast ocean. The surface covered by the oceans would be equal to 62% of the one of the planet. its radius would be about 7250 km (against 6400 for the Earth).

Titanium would be abundant in the floor, with the form of minerals. The gravity would be stronger. If we went on UMMO, our weight would increase of 20%. Inversely, the Ummites, when they walk on our floor feel lighter. The earth is slightly flat on its poles, because of the centrifugal force coming from its rotation. On UMMO, that would be the contrary. The altitude on the poles would be 15 km higher than on the rest of the planet. The Ummites explain that by the fact that the magnetic field on UMMO is quite strong (thousand time bigger than the Earth field, 500 Gauss against 0,4 Gauss).

The climate would be relatively cold, continental, with big temperature contrasts. The inclination of the rotation axis of the planet is 18% instead of 23% for the Earth. The seasons would be less pronounced. But can we speak of seasons went the planet turn around its star in two and a half terrestrials months. The local sun, the star Iumma, a dwarf of class M, would be less hot than our sun, and UMMO would have a smaller orbit. The planet would have no satellites, no moons. The nights would be then very dark and much colder than ours, even at the equator.

The night temperature would not go over zero (in degree centigrade). The star Iumma emits (like all other stars) a stellar wind, intercepted by the magnetosphere of the planet, very strong. The result would be some permanent and spectacular aurora borealis. Believing them, the Ummites would not stop to stare a the sky, draped with huge colored scarves, which would be a marvelous phenomena, instead of moonlight.

The volcanic activity on this planet would have been replaced by emission of methane and panthane subcrustals, which would get inflamed at the contact of the air. These gas would be emitted along vast crevasses, and projected to altitudes from some hundred meters to six kilometers.

The texts give some precision:

- These fissure are permanently surveyed. Some spheres full of chemical components and instrumentation are projected all three minutes in the bluish burning curtain where they explode like fireworks.

One would find on UMMO some meteorological phenomena similar to the one of our planet, with violent sand storms, in some desert regions, which would erode the stones. The fact that the continent is vast, avoids the oceanic mass to perform a regulation of temperatures and pressures. The night temperatures would be low and the wind frequents and violent, running on the continent, finding no natural barriers on their way.

This would explain, the aerodynamic shapes of emerged buildings we will see later, and their property to retract in the floor. The primitives housings would have been, according to the texts, underground. The vegetation, quite different from the one on Earth, would be abundant. The trees, in average much higher than those of our planet, could be compared, they said, to our sequoias. They would have powerful roots and impressive trunks, to resists to the violent winds.

The Ummites said to have been extremely surprised by the altitude and the aspect of our mountains, covered with snow. They would have arranged on their planet some sort of entertainment park where the inhabitants (two billions) could admire the curiosities of our Earth, with a reduced scale of course. The absence of natural impassable barriers would have contribute to the reduction of the number of animal and vegetal species. Furthermore, the intense protection of a planetary magnetic shield, due to a stronger magnetosphere, would have attenuated the mutation effects of the solar rays. All that seems effectively quite coherent.

When one imagine the evolution of life on another planet, the scientist have to make a lot of speculations. Our observation methods can't detect any planet other outside of our solar system. (today -2005- they claim they have)

Nevertheless, the numerical simulations on computer have shown that we should find numerous planets in our galaxy, with small dense planet, like Venus, the Earth, Mars, made of heavy materials, and some big planets outside of the solar system, made of light materials. If a planet is located to the right distance from its sun so that water is not in a solid state (MARS) of gaseous state (Venus), the live may appear and evolve there.

The scientists give the same value as the Ummites concerning the possible number of systems housing an organized life in our galaxy: one million. Same number as in the Ummite texts of 1967.

The Ummites indicate what could be the fork concerning the planetary parameters which allow, not the appearing of life, but the emergence of humans from a primitive life:

• Surface temperature of the star : between 4552 and 6160° K

• Eccentricity of the planetary orbit: between zero and 0,1766

• Day length: de 16 h 30' to 84 h

• Superficial planetary temperature: from 32° C to 46° C

• Planet mass: from 2,65 10²⁷ g to 1,2 10²⁸ g

• In the atmosphere near the ground:

  • 18 % oxygen minimum

  • 65 % nitrogen minimum.

• Intensity of cosmic rays: under 0,48 nucleons /cm²/s

As the Ummite sun would be colder, the planet would have a smaller orbit and the Ummite year would be shorter: about 2.54 terrestrial months.

Let's come back to the text which evokes the first contact with the Earth. Because of the lack of any natural barriers, there would be on Ummo only one ethnic groups and only one language. Apparently, this must be the case of the different planets that our guys would have visited, while they thought at the beginning that the men of the Earth were all speaking the same language, horribly complicated.

Seeing the pictures brought back by our probes, we were very amazed to discover that the skin of people seemed to vary from a region to another. We supposed that the people of the Earth covered their skin with pigments in a ritual way, or to protect themselves from some diseases. Later we discovered with stupefaction that a set of ethnic groups were cohabitating, each one owning a peculiar language. We immediately thought that this would simplify our infiltration in the terrestrial social net, without having assimilated the languages and the customs, pretending to be from foreign country. Rather quickly, the computer gave us the first linguistic elements allowing to decode the language of the local inhabitants.

Walking some hundred meters away from our refuge we discovered a heap of stools, surrounded by some animal which flew away as we came, Laying on a printed piece of paper, that we brought back in our underground. We tried to decode the ideograms which where printed on this document. Today this object, which is the first we discovered on Earth, is on Ummo, where it has been conserved with special techniques to freeze with care the parts with different temperatures , depending from the material. One of us suggested that this could correspond to a ritual action of someone who wanted to show his reprobation against this written document. A photography on the document showed the way the people were clothed.

Helped with these information we sewed some synthetic clothes, coping the picture. We had no idea what button could be used for, and we pictures them with clear flakes. Fitted with this approximate disguisement we ventured far from our refuge, but we realized rapidly that our clothes where anachronous and we went back in a hurry to our underground. This is a chance we have not been detected with such outfits. As a matter of fact the picture was related to a theater play which has been given in the capital. The first human being we met was a young shepherd, named Pierre, aged then of eleven and, which was warding some unknown mammals with horns.

He was in a widow, slightly in the lower down. As we had the sun in the back he used his hand as protection. We thought this was a salutation sign and we did the same gestures. The young shepherd saluted us in a shy way and went away with his herd. Worried by this meeting we decided to go back in our refuge and we place some defense and monitoring devices in the surroundings. But nothing moved during three days. Le child came back the day after, amazed of this encounter with people with tight clothes, and he was deceived not to meet them again. We observed him from our refuge we we dared no going out33.

The 24th of April we made a house-breaking on a farm of the neighborhood. We anesthesiated its inhabitants: a couple, their three children and some Spanish workers, the dog which began to bark. Then we penetrated in the building and gathered quickly some samples.

Have been taken away: some clothes, identity cards (from which we could make very good falsifications), some pencils, an hygrometer representing the Blessed Virgin, keys, stamps, a groups of letters and unpaid bills, books about the breading of cows, the notice of a tractor, a children encyclopedia, a roll of hygienic paper, a clock, some bulbs, the electric-light meter (that we removed from the wall when is was fixed), some switches, drugs, six pairs of shoes, a radio, the school bag of one of the children, a bottle of lemon juice, two potatoes, a wall calendar, a soap, a cutter and an oil burner, and all the money we could find, 70000 French francs.

One may imagine the stupefaction of the farmers after the raid operated by the Ummites in their home.

My friend Jean-Jacques Pastor, living in Digne, what facilitated our researches in the region. After nosing about everywhere, we had some information from a hairdresser who told him about this strange story. He remembered having seen the members of a family of the surroundings, the Violat, who went down once to the village to deposit a strange complaint to the police office. Arriving there, they were all bare-feet!

Jean-Jacques was quite amazed while the coiffeur, remembering the sayings of the family chief, gave practically the whole list of stolen object written in the Ummites document. The Violat believed then to have been robbed by fools.

One may read in the Ummite texts, that they would have taken some samples of diverse secretions on the sleeping bodies: spittle, sweat, and some genital secretions. According to the texts, the olfaction would play an important role for them. Although humans, that would have olfative capacities as accurate as the one of a dog, this means they may recognize thousands of different smells. This sense would play an essential function in the identification on another person, much more than vision. So, landing on a unknown planet, their first worry would have been to prepare some perfumes imitating the human odors, in order not to be detected by the men of the Earth, thinking they would have the same capability on this point.

If the Ummites were really as they described themselves, and if they were correctly clothed, they could enter any public place without being noticed by the terreans. On the contrary, a dog could not be fooled and would began to bark furiously against these beings looking like humans but having a completely different smell.

Jean-Jacques found quite quickly the farm of the Violat. There was still the tractor, made in Spain, in the shed, from which the Ummites said to have stolen some parts. We tried, of course to talk with the farmers, without success. In this region of mountains, people are generally not very chatty. Moreover, the Ummites said to have indemnified them in 1952. A very good reason to say nothing.

Completing the story, the father Violat, dead today, would have built, near Aix-En-Provence a superb villa. Detail: the balconies were plastered of stars in forged iron!!

After this first operation, the Ummites concluded:

This allowed us to get information of the clothing and to prepare some more credible garments. We could then take contact with the young shepherd, which took us for foreigners. Our linguistic knowledge could grow very quickly. The child never talked of this encounter to his father, afraid that he would forbid him to speak again with these unknown people.

We could not, unfortunately, identify this shepherd, which must be fifty five today. Nothing says that he still lives in the region.
