—-Day 3 —-
The Night Visit (Extended).
I was awakened at about 12:30 AM by a light and some kind of buzzing noise outside the window to the left of my bed. A dark haired woman, about 6 foot tall descended right outside the window, accompanied by a figure of a man, about the same height. They were both wearing form hugging skin tight jumpsuits. As soon as their feet touched the ground, they started casually strolling to the open door on the back of the cabin.
My room was right next to the back door, so I walked around the corner and said hello through the bug screen. The woman smiled at me and asked if I was afraid. I said I was curious, and invited her to come in if she promised to be polite and respect my wishes. She smiled again and entered. I asked why they were there, and she said it was like school. She is on assignment, this was part of her education, and mine. She said I have been watched by them since I was very small, and she wanted to know if I remembered my first encounter, then studied me with expectant eyes.
I did not remember her, but could remember being a small boy, and talking to some men in hats, and seeing a tall alien like the one that was with her. She said that was one of my first visits.
“Why are you here?”
“You were chosen, just as I was chosen.”
I didn’t understand, but felt at peace.
Then I asked if the Grey can be trusted. She glanced at him and back to me, focusing on my eyes- “He would not be there unless he was one of us.”
“One of Us?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t understand…”
Brunette smiled, “You will know when it is time. For now, I am here to tell you that we are all the same, we all come from the same place. Our destiny is the same. To love and be loved. To learn and teach. To respect the Earth and to take care of it. We are here to help you to learn to save yourselves. You are more important than you know…”
The one with her never spoke. He didn’t do anything but stand by her side. His head was about human sized but his body was much thinner in proportion to it than a human. His body language was peaceful and calm. His face was mostly white, but faded to grey toward the ears and forehead. The skin on his face and head looked soft and smooth, but durable, like the skin of a dolphin. He just casually stood there, looking at me with those unblinking, almond eyes. It didn’t feel invasive. He just seemed so gentle in his presence.
I asked the Brunette about him, and she said he was just here to observe and learn, but he didn’t have anything to say. I reached out to touch his face, and he flinched a little, then Brunette encouraged him to let me touch, and he moved his head an inch toward my hand so I could touch his cheek. He flinched again lightly, almost bashfully, when I touched him. Then he stepped back, and made a tummy rubbing motion, and she excused him, saying the time of each visit is limited to a couple hours earth time, and the atmosphere would start to take a toll, but it is important they visit us in our element.
Then I remembered Charlie and his failed disguise, so I asked if she was real or a grey in disguise.
She seemed confused and hurt by that question, and simply said “What do you think?”
I said it IS easier to accept her in this form, so I don’t mind either way.
Then she perked up, “I am real. What you see is what you get.”
She could easily win any pageant based on her looks alone, but there was something more…
I knew I was being an open book at this point, so in a defensive attempt, I asked Brunette, jokingly of course, to marry me. She smiled and said she would not, but there was someone who WAS interested.
Next thing I knew, a green grey, old and wrinkly, was putting on red lipstick and woman’s scarf over his head. He tied it under the chin, with a woman’s purse dangling from his right arm.
Then he put his left hand on my arm. “Kchoo. Awe! Kchoo!”
Brunette said- “If anyone has any reason why these two should not enter into holy matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace.”
This was funny, and unexpected. I never thought a grey would be part of a practical joke like that. And for them to toss that together so quickly, was unexpected and just hilarious. After a short pause, things in my mind turned more serious. There I was, talking with Extra Terrestrials, and I knew I must to do more than make jokes.
I politely turned the conversation after my face stopped hurting from the laughter- “Can we talk? There were some things that didn’t make sense. Inconsistencies in some of my memories of earlier encounters. You know... the types of things would not help Aliens to be accepted as friend?”
Her, “There are things that are lost in translation, or are just forgotten… It is difficult for humans to remember things that do not fit an acceptable view of reality. There are things we do not fully understand about that, but we are trying. I promise to do my best to help you, and to answer any of your questions…”
Then as if reading my mind, she started answering questions before I even asked them- “Yes we have a planet much like yours. Yes, we come from a different dimension, but that wasn’t an adequate explanation. Humans are beautiful, and strong, but not in very good control of themselves, yet human society has accomplished so much worth studying. Someday we would love for you to understand, if it is possible, but for now, it is just too soon and there isn’t time to cover everything yet. I need you to be patient, there are limitations we are dealing with that may seem annoying, but please keep an open mind.”
She led me outside… I am not sure how big the ship was. At least as big as the house, but bottom portion is really all I could make out. It was round, I think, but it was obfuscated or cloaked. The surface of it shimmered like water or flowing silk like fabric.-
She simply held my upper arm as we ascended up about 30 feet or so, and then our feet came to rest, firmly planted on a solid surface. Everything was dark. She guided me to a door with a slight orange glow around it, and a lift took us up a shaft to the bridge.
There was somone she wanted me to meet... he had kind of a soft round white head with dark holes for eyes, but the eyes had small sparkling crystals inside it and the more you looked the more the tiny points of light appeared to go on for infinity, as if the universe was contained in his head. He had a dark round hole for a mouth, and no nose at all.
He didn’t say a word, but one word came to my mind- Professor. He had a presence of knowledge, and he seemed at peace with the universe. Without saying anything, he seemed to communicate that we are all insignificant in the eyes of the Universe.
Then there was a really small Guy....at first I though it was a pet monkey.. He was no more than 16 inches tall and he seemed like he had an attitude. He squinted at me, then waved his hand at me like he just didn’t want anything to do with me. The brunette said he is actually well respected, and wise, but getting grumpy with age.
She showed me a large window or screen, and I could see a beautiful red nebula. There were some computer graphic locator boxes that appeared on the screen which I thought were location and destination boxes. Then I could make out the shape of the reptilian at a control surface. I think he was plotting a course. I was amazed at so many aliens of different types on one ship and commented to him on that. The reptilian said it was a good group, he had been with them a long time- “They are kind of like family.”, he said..
“ I like this guy!”
Turning back to the Brunette- “What is your name?”
She seemed almost annoyed by my question- “Whatever you want.”
Guy said her name is “Venus” to which she smiled and said “No it IS not.”
Brunette Woman seemed to be studying me, like there was something in my head she was interested in. She made me curious, so I asked what she was looking at. “I’m not sure.”
“You see me differently, somehow, I can tell. Can you show me what you see?”
She pointed to a display screen on my left. “This is how we see you.”
I could see a blue being, which at first, I believed was another alien, until I realized I was looking at my image projected on a screen. A translucent blue body against a black background. It was like seeing under the skin, all the nerves, and their activity. The heart was fascinating, with bright blue and white pulsing muscle.
When I moved, the signal tracers flowed to the muscle, the muscles would turn a little more blue and white as they moved and darker as they rested. The brain contained some red, some yellow, and displayed more white as thoughts and ideas came and went. I pinched my arm and it fired off deep red, then yellow, then white, and went dark for a second before it became blue again. I assumed the more intense the stimulus, more red would show. Marvelous.
She said that blue is my natural state, which is good. She also stated that it frightens them when I am angry, but that has been very rare. They are not comfortable with a human until they have seen how we react. This is why they play us music, or show us things that are designed to provoke our colors.
I stood there looking at my colors on a screen.
Pure body energy- Heartbeat, lungs, brain, skin. There were spots in the body that have almost no nervous energy, just shadowy-dark or invisible, spots. The external part of the ears was invisible, but inside: the internal ear glowed with yellow and white tracers that swirled around and dispersed. 85 percent of my body was blue, with, depending on the type of stimulus, some white and yellow and to a lesser amount, red tracers. It was really cool but it was too much to take in all at once, and a fear of finding out what she was looking at rushed in.
The screen went dark and she instructed me to turn my head toward her so she could look straight toward my eyes. She looked concerned, but studious.
The blonde male walked in, and . I said hello, as I could remember seeing him in the lake a couple days before.”
Brunette asked him to take a look. “Ever seen that before?”
Male, “No.”
Brunette, “What is it?”
Male, “Just a genetic anomaly”.
She asked me about any car wrecks or heavy contact sports.
Male – “He was born that way, I can tell. It disqualifies him for what we talked about, but he has potential.”
Brunette – “No.”
Male- “You sure?”
Brunette – “Not THAT. I won’t have it. He has been through enough.”
Male- “Why do YOU care?”
Brunette – “HE is MINE. I get to make the call.”
They both wore markings on their chest below the shoulder, so I decided to ask, “So you have ranks? What is your society like? Your culture? Do you always wear these suits?”
Brunette, “A galactic council does exist, but it is not as formal as you might imagine. We have schools, ranks, authorities, prisoners, societal norms and customs. We all have careers, or specialties of interest that we are encouraged to pursue, but all of that is monitored by mentors, family guidance, and curriculums.”
She went back to studying me with a look of disappointment and almost distaste.
Me, “What is it?”
Brunette- “I don’t know, but it blocks you from growing the way I had hoped. You are limited, but safe. No need to worry. You are basically a normal human... not as adaptable as I had hoped. We were hoping to teach you to hear telepathy, but that looks like isn’t going to be possible... you are basically deaf to Telepathy...”
Me, “But I can hear and see the dog Charlie projected at me.” (From a visit when I was a boy)
“That is different... I... Never mind. It is okay. “
Me- “Can you fix it?”
Brunette- “No. Not without hurting your brain.”
Me- “But you just showed me you can pretty much do anything.”
Brunette- “No, we can’t, you would lose more than you could gain, and wind up insane beyond help. You can’t just turn it on, it takes a lifetime.”
Without moving my lips, “You can hear me?”
Brunette- “Yes” (she moved hers). “But you are deaf, that is the way it is, and the way it will be.” Her voice took on a motherly tone.
Me, “But I can see.”
Her, “It does not work that way. It doesn’t matter. I like talking to you, anyway. It is kind of refreshing.”
.... the following was posted before, during my intro, but re posted so you can see where it fit in the context....
She showed me a cross section of a tree about an inch thick and 10 inches in diameter. She pulled a wooden pencil out of a box and used the tip as a pointer- “See this ring here?” She pointed to a dark thin line that seemed to contrast itself from the other lines. “That is when they set off the first atomic bomb. Your officials tried to say it would not have any ill effects, but this is just one example that shows they were wrong. We know from experience, nuclear explosions change things in permanent ways. Earth is in trouble, but we can’t do anything about that. We can only educate you and try to make you understand how dangerous it can be.”
I studied the cross section, but I had no words. Then I looked at her and saw her wiping a tear from her cheek-
She pulled out some other things out of the box, a white feather, a spiral notebook and a pink eraser. She said she didn’t remember what happened to the parachute toy, but she still had the toy ray gun. (Although it needed to be fixed. Batteries were dead. ) She didn’t seem to understand much about how it worked. That floored me. How could someone talking to me on the bridge of a saucer with advanced technology, not understand how to get new batteries or even substitute the energy source? Things like this were just odd. But that was what tied it all together. She collected a box of things from me over the years, and that was when it became obvious… this WAS the same girl from when I was a boy.
