f　1370　meters。　After　having　stopped　my　car　on　the　side　of　the　road；　I　continued　by　foot　along　a　path　which　led　up　to　an　extinct　crater。　I　had　gone　up　half　way　on　this　steep　path　when　I　suddenly　saw　on　top　of　the　hill；　in　the　darkness；　two　silhouettes　standing　out　in　the　moonlight　with　shining　silver　space　suits。　They　were　tall；　well　built；　with　blond　hair　which　fell　over　their　shoulders。　They　wore　brilliant　armlets　around　their　wrists　and　ankles　which　had　the　color　of　gold；　they　also　wore　a　luminous　belt　around　their　waist；　and　a　strange　metallic　plate　on　their　chests。　When　I　saw　them；　my　blood　froze　and　I　felt　a　cold　sweat　flow　out　of　me。　I　had　hoped　for　this　moment　for　eleven　years；　but　as　the　spot　was　isolated；　the　nocturnal　obscurity　and　sudden　meeting　were　not　situations　which　would　give　me　courage。　One　of　the　Extraterrestrians　then　directed　a　green　light　towards　me；　which　was　projected　by　an　object　he　had　in　his　hand。　Instantly　a　strange　sensation　calmed　me　and　gave　me　an　indescribable　serenity；　my　heart　which　in　the　beginning　seemed　to　explode　in　my　chest；　set　itself　to　throb　regularly。　Looking　at　their　two　faces　enlightened　by　the　moon；　I　could　admire　their　soft　features　and　their　austere　and　serene　look。　
　　
　　Suddenly；　one　of　them　spoke　to　me　in　Italian：　〃We　have　been　waiting　for　you；〃　he　told　me。　〃Record　in　your　memory　what　we　are　going　to　tell　you〃；　they　gave　me　a　message　to　send　to　the　governors　and　the　responsible　of　the　earth。　In　this　message　there　was　the　〃reprimanding〃　warning　to　all　those　responsible；　to　stop　the　atomic　explosions　as　well　as　to　grant　humanity　the　well…being　of　true　progress；　but　with　Justice；　Freedom；　Love　and　Fraternity。　Following　this　meeting；　we　had　several　conversations　during　other　meetings；　I　was　told　that　they　are　part　of　an　Inter…Galactic　Confederation；　to　which　adhere　the　inhabitants　of　many　planets。　They　are　the　tutors　of　human　kind；　including　our　planet。　We　should　consider　them　as　thus　like　big　brothers　who　are　concerned　about　the　bad　turning　we　have　taken；　making　us　risk　to　bring　the　use　of　the　atomic　bomb。　They　e　all　this　way　to　us　to　warn　us　in　time　of　the　danger　we　are　heading　into；　because　the　Cosmic　Counsel　condemns　the　people　of　Earth　for　their　inhuman　behavior：　the　people　to　which　the　truth　is　hidden；　are　governed　by　lies；　shameful　crimes　are　considered　acts　of　heroism；　violence　bees　a　necessity；　racial　hatred　appears　as　a　normal
　　
　　thing　to　our　civilization；　religion　has　been　deformed　and　brought　to　fanaticism。。。。
　　
　　Then　one　day；　on　a　stern　tone　and　with　deep　sadness　in　their　voices；　they　told　me：　〃A　highly　evolved　humanity　sends　to　you　astronauts　and　missionaries　from　a　distance　of　several　light　years　to　enlighten　you　on　the　nature　of　your　existence；　but　Instead　of　being　thankful　for　their　efforts；　you　ignore　them　and　mock　all　the　teachings　they　bring　to　you；　know　that　an　evolution　which　has　failed　is　a　planetarian　catastrophe；　and　this　will　be　the　inevitable　consequences　of　your　acts。〃　They　then　added：　〃In　a　past　life；　everyone　of　you　has　worked　towards　the　establishment　of　the　civilization　which　exists　today；　you　have　all　collaborated　in　participating　in　the　development　of　humanity。　Understand　that　you　are　preparing　yourselves　today！　As　tutors　of　your　kind；　we　can　do　nothing　else　but　condemn　your　acts；　know　this：　you　are　rigorously　supervised　by　a　superior　race　who　will　never　permit　you　to　e　to　the　disaster　of　a　'nuclear　war。'〃
　　
　　Mr。　Siragusa　was　reprogramed　in　the　classic　manner　of　all　fanatics；　and　he　has　been　used　to　disseminate　propaganda　couched　in　terms　understandable　and　acceptable　to　us。　The　messages　include　references　to　reincarnation；　politics；　and　religion；　but　not　within　the　loftier　intellectual　framework　of　some　alien　〃superior　culture。〃　Instead　of　telling　us　things　we　do　not　know；　they　tell　us　the　things　we　want　to　hear　and　believe。　Our　own　fear　of　nuclear　annihilation　was　epidemic　in　the　1950s　and　early　1960s。　So　many　of　the　UFO　messages　of　the　period　were　stern　warnings　about　our　misuse　of　atomic　energy。　As　our　own　paranoia　subsided；　so　did　these　threats　from　outer　space。
　　
　　II
　　
　　The　most　widely　publicized　UFO　contact　of　October　1973　was　also　the　least　important。　Two　fishermen　in　Pascagoula；　Mississippi；　suffered　a　rather　routine　hallucination　which　hurled　them　onto　national　television　and　attracted　the　attention　of　UFO…philes；　crackpots；　and　astronomers。　The　case　has　been　so　widely　discussed　that　I　will　just　summarize　it　very　briefly　here。
　　
　　〃It　is　my　opinion　that　he　told　the　truth　when　he　stated　that　he　believes　he　saw　a　spaceship；　that　he　was　taken　into　the　spaceship；　and　that　he　saw　three　creatures；〃　Scott　Glasgow；　a　New　Orleans　polygraph　（lie　detector）　specialist　declared　after　examining　Charles　Hickson　in　October　1973。　Dr。　J。　Allen　Hynek；　an　astronomer；　also　interviewed　Hickson　and　his　friend　Calvin　Parker。
　　
　　〃There　is　no　question　in　my　mind　that　these　men　have　had　a　terrifying　experience；〃　Hynek　stated。　〃Under　no　circumstances　should　they　be　ridiculed。　Let's　protect　these　men。〃
　　
　　Hickson；　forty…two；　and　Parker；　eighteen；　would　need　all　the　protection　they　could　get。
　　
　　The　two　men　had　been　fishing　from　a　pier　on　the　Pascagoula　River　when　at　8　P。M。　on　October　11；　1973；　they　heard　a　loud　pulsing；　humming　sound。　Then　they　saw　a　brilliant　flickering　blue　light　moving　over　the　water　toward　them。
　　
　　Both　men　became　paralyzed。　〃I　felt　immobilized；〃　Hickson　said　later。　〃I　couldn't　move。　But　I　know　I　was　scared　to　death。〃
　　
　　As　the　light　drew　closer　it　took　on　an　egg…shaped　appearance。　Young　Parker　lost　consciousness；　fainting　dead　away；　so　the　two…witness　sighting　now　became　a　one…witness　event。　Hickson　said　two　five…foot…tall　beings　came　out　of　the　object。　They　were　grayish　with　wrinkled　skin；　no　necks；　pointed　ears；　and　crablike　claws。　They　picked　up　the　two　men　（〃It　was　like　just　floating　in　the　air〃）　and　carried　them　into　the　object　where　〃a　big　eye；〃　somewhere　between　the　size　of　a　large　softball　and　a　basketball；　moved　over　their　bodies；　apparently　studying　them。　Then　they　were　deposited　back　on　the　river　pier　to　the　exact　spot　where　they　had　been　picked　up。
　　
　　When　the　light　withdrew；　the　two　men　came　to　their　senses　and　ran　in　terror　to　the　local　sheriff's　office。　Following　their　experience；　Hickson　and　Parker　suffered　blinding　headaches。　〃At　first；　those　dreams　I　had　was　awful；〃　Charlie　Hickson　told　NBC　News　reporter　Ralph　Blum；　〃and　the　headaches　was　so　bad…like　a　pressure　on　my　skull。〃
　　
　　The　day　after　the　incident　a　small　wound　opened　up　on　Hickson's　arm　and　bled　profusely　for　a　few　hours。　Then　it　closed　just　as　mysteriously　as　it　had　e。
　　
　　The　pier　from　which　the　men　were　fishing　was　under　surveillance　by　a　TV　system　at　a　naval　installation　across　the　river。　The　men　monitoring　the　system　saw　nothing　unusual　that　night。　They　were　also　in　full　view　of　a　nearby　drawbridge；　and　the　toll…booths　for　a　neighboring　highway。　The　men　manning　those　positions　did　not　see　anything　unusual　on　the　river。　They　saw　no　lights；　additional　proof　that　the　episode　was　hallucinatory。
　　
　　Ralph　Blum　learned　another　interesting　fact　when　he　asked　Hickson　why　he　was　not　carrying　a　watch。　〃Never　could。　People　said　I　had　electricity；〃　Hickson　explained。　〃To　give　you　an　example；　before　I　went　into　service；　I　tried　two　or　three　wrist　watches。　But　they　wouldn't　keep　time　on　me。　They'd　either　lose　time；　or　gain　time。　Or　they'd　just　stop。　。。。　I　never　did　find　one　that　would　keep　correct　time。　I　even　tried　Elgins；　these　railroad　pocket　watches？　And　they　don't　keep　correct　time。　So　I　don't　tote　a　watch。〃
　　
　　Obviously　Mr。　Hickson's　physical　makeup　includes　some　unknown　but　not　unheard　of　force　which　interferes　with　watches。　He　could　be　surrounded　by　that　special　energy　field　or　aura　which　attracts　UFO…type　phenomena。　Calvin　Parker　was　just　unfortunate　enough　to　be　present　when　the　phenomenon　zeroed　in　on　Hickson。　Since　the　light　was　not　operating　on　his　alpha　wave　frequency；　Parker　wasn't　entranced　。。。　he　was　knocked　unconscious。　Hickson　entered　a　hypnoticlike　trance　and　hallucinated。
　　
　　Besides　all　the　press　attention；　crank　phone　calls；　and　attending　nonsense；　Calvin　Parker　suffered　a　nervous　breakdown。　Yet；　despite　the　uproar　in　Pascagoula；　the　men　were　never　properly　investigated　by　qualified　persons　。。。　aside　from　the　air　force。　A　hydraulic　engineer　from　Berkeley　visited　them；　hypnotized　them；　and　when　they　began　to　relive　their　terrible　fear　he　cut　the　session　short。　Afterward　he　soberly　informed　reporters　that　he　was　certain　the　men　had　been　examined　by　〃robots　from　outer　space。〃
　　
　　The　air　force　investigation　was　another　story。　Deputy　Tom　Huntley　acpanied　the　two　men　to　the　Keesler　Air　Force　Base。　〃When　we　got　there　it　was　something　amazing；〃　Huntley　told　Ralph　Blum　afterward。　〃We　were　in　an　unmarked　car　but　the　guards　were　expecting　us　and　Waved　us　through　the　moment　I　said　who　we　was。　I　looked　back　through　my　rear…view　mirror；　and　damn　if　two　cars　full　of　air　police　hadn't　fallen　in　behind　us。　They　had　more　air　police　stationed　at　each　crossing　all　along　the　road。　We　pulled　up　in　this　concrete　area　behind　a　building　The　police
