The movie opening this week is based indirectly on a sub-plot of
the UFO story. At its most basic, it concerns mystery men who visit UFO
witnesses and investigators and advise silence. The variations are many,
as are the theories. R

Black Man in Black
I’ve
been a “voluntary” contactee since 1942 (on Easter Sunday). On that
day, they told me that they were beginning what appeared to be a new
phase of contact; what I would now term as creating a new
infrastructure of contact; the imagery was that of the building of
bridges. Since then, I’ve met others that have had lifelong contact. My
sense today. in retrospect, was that this contact was
hyper-dimensional involving some sort of morphic resonance. The setup
is quite redundant: nothing particularly special in terms of my
involvement. I was four years old at the time and my parents reported I
was absent for approximately 6 hours. They never forgot my unusual
story.
One
of the most fascinating contactee stories was “validated”
inadvertently by others. The events occurred in dense metropolitan NYC
and witnessed in detail by numerous others. The following story was
sent to me from a friend who lives in New York City and has had
numerous encounters with aliens (not of this world) there randomly for
many years now.
She wrote:
“I
hadn’t had any unusual experiences for months, so I’d begun to think
that they were probably over. Also, that I’d probably imagined the
whole thing. Now, without fail, every time I’ve decided that I must
have imagined it all, something really unusual has happened to make me
doubt that. It was early October, beautiful weather, and I was
housecleaning. I dumped the litter box, then discovered I was out of
kitty litter, so I ran out to get some.
It
was just after 5 and the sidewalk was crowded with well dressed Wall
St. types coming home from work. I was dressed in my rattiest,
tattered housecleaning clothes and hoped I was invisible. I noticed an
extremely tall, extremely handsome black man coming towards me,
perfectly dressed in a black suit with a vest and red tie, black hat,
black umbrella, black gloves. Even in that well dressed crowd you
couldn’t miss him.
When he got to me he said in a loud voice, “Oh, no!
We’re not going to forget our little Meryl! Don’t worry, we’ll never
forget about our little Meryl! How could we?” He kept this up, I just
sort of cringed, nodding, while a little crowd gathered around us.
Finally he laughed, and started dancing, leaping in the air and clicking
his heels, going towards the river.
“Who IS that?” the crowd
demanded. I said I had no idea. “Isn’t he an actor? An athlete? A
model?” I repeated that I didn’t know who he was. “But he knows your
name!” We argued for awhile, then I went to the store and got my kitty
litter.
This
was a very ambiguous incident and could have been taken as either
sinister or encouraging depending on how one viewed one’s experiences,
and I think that’s true of a lot of this stuff. Now for part 2 of this
story, which happened several years later.
There’s a very good
theater group in Brooklyn that wanted to do a play about experiencers.
They interviewed Budd Hopkins, John Mack, some of their experiencers.
I was part of a group called SPACE, and they wanted to interview us.
Some of us went to the Brooklyn Academy of Music and we had a very
formal meeting with maybe six of them, very serious, sincere young
actors and writers.
I was asked to tell them my “Black Man in Black”
story, so I did, and they liked it.
I didn’t learn until months later
that after they left the meeting and were heading down the steps to
the subway they noticed a very tall, handsome black man dressed in
black coming up towards them. They thought, “hmmm,” but in Brooklyn
that’s not exactly unusual. When he got to them he grinned and said,
“I’ll bet that story really got through to you, didn’t it?” They turned
around to stare at him as he left, and on the back of his jacket
there was a large Planet Earth in red.”
Risks of Human – ET Communication
Among
the many risks involved in contact experience is attributing more to
them than the sense of the experience: The following was written by my
NYC friend for the Alien Jigsaw.
“Risks
As
for the risks involved, they’re quite serious. The
biggest risk, so far as I can see, is the risk of
self-delusion and self-deception. These experiences
can serve as a quick trip to serious trouble in our
lives if we assume that our interpretations are correct and act
accordingly. This is true regardless of whether we give them
positive or negative interpretations. There’s no point
at which we can be entirely certain that we are
interpreting these experiences correctly and know
exactly what they mean. There’s still plenty that we have
to learn. Having these experiences doesn’t mean that we’re in any
way special or elite, or receiving special information
from superior beings, either. I’ve been scolded more
than once for becoming too trusting of my teachers!
Which, again, seems peculiarly honest of them.
We
remain responsible for ourselves, our behavior, and
our own lives. We have no reason to suppose that the
aliens are here to rescue us, take care of us, or be
responsible for us in any way. We also have no reason to assume
that we’re under their control and pass responsibility for
what happens to them. Assuming that they’re arranging
marriages, require us to move to different parts of the
country, etc., can lead to disaster – unless it’s in
our own best interest to do these things.
Why
should we take their advice any more seriously than
that of anyone else’s? Sometimes, months later, I can
see that something that seemed extremely personal, and
maybe helpful or harmful, at the time, was merely a
quest for information on their part. Since we’re all powerful
individuals in our own right – both them and us – there are
considerable risks on both sides. We need to be careful
and work hard at developing better communications,
taking nothing for granted as actually “solved” yet.
Our minds are constructed for problem solving, to reach conclusions
and demand immediate answers and explanations. This is one
area in which we’re not going to get this degree of
certainty without a lot of hard work. At this point,
interpretations are speculation. Letting our
imaginations create myths out of this material is not
the correct response.”
