To extraterrestrials, who comprise the vast majority of intelligent life in this universe, you are an alien. Humans are but one kind in a huge catalog of others. Some alien populations may have compiled catalogs of millions of intelligent species, conceivably more. If and when aliens begin (or began) to electronically / electrogravitically copy other aliens’ catalogs of the sort, the number of entries would have increased exponentially. Depending on the nature of the overlap between galaxies, there could easily be catalogs of trillions of species, or more. In more advanced circles, there could be a shared kind of Universal Report, a complex news briefing that spans incredible distances and puts our national broadcasts to shame. Rather than dwell upon the affairs of one’s own small planet, such aliens could check on the science and doings of other systems, ranging freely and diversely.

Aliens have specifically stated that faster-than-light communications are a given among more advanced societies. Nearly instantaneous capacities may be possible, as one native group of Milky Way aliens reported, once electrogravity towers have been installed and correlated to form a widespread network. Towers use the iron core of a planet as a capacitor, which stores up and releases charge (or electrogravity) without need for wires. There may also be non-tower alternatives. *Thus far, no aliens have reported the ability to “physically” travel great distances, i.e. hundreds of light years, instantaneously. The fastest published report on the subject was logged by Los Angeles Times journalist Phillip Krapf, who says that the Verdants, a group of aliens with whom he has interacted, can travel at a rate that is one million times the speed of light, using what they call “flicker drive” (a kind of electrogravity / magnetogravity, apparently). Readers may be encouraged to note that the aliens Krapf describes say that they’re only 229 million years more advanced, technologically, than are humans. Even older, more advanced alien populations may be much more capable.

Although, for fairly obvious reasons, most of the aliens reportedly cataloged by human authorities stand upright and walk on two feet, some look very different than a human. Brain appears to have triumphed over brawn – in every case. Cranial capacity has been expanded and body mass reduced, for ecological reasons. So, generally speaking, technologically advanced aliens will likely have large heads and relatively efficient bodies. Such appearances, along with different skin colors and body heights can be startling to a human, at least initially. On larger planets with heavy gravity, stocky bodies may endure, i.e. Stefan Denaerde’s remarkable report about Iarga – just 10 light years from Earth.

It helps to remember that we probably look as weird to them as they do to us – with one minor exception. When they visit here, they clearly know that our kind exists. They’ve studied humans and human history. We’re an open book, as far as they’re concerned. Most of our data, all of our books going to press and all of our electronic communications can be lifted, using electrogravity / magnetogravity, and recorded. Think in terms of Moore’s law (new computers double their capacity every 18-24 months). By now, aliens are able to store the sum total of human electronic data, then file and correlate it compactly.

As other authors have suggested, we should be careful not to generalize about all aliens. There is great diversity among off-world life forms. Some may be notably more advanced than others, yet humans (and aliens) must forever be studied and vigilant in their assessment of any given world, or combination of worlds. Aliens, too, can make mistakes.

As one might expect, time and time again, aliens have proven vulnerable to psychological error. They make very human-seeming errors. Some humans will be disappointed to learn about certain off-world regimes that control their populations through fear and other, more subtle kinds of intimidation. In some cases, rather than being corrected over time, specious impulses have been cultivated, if not institutionalized within a limited number of overgrown alien populations – one of which (Verdants – from another galaxy) literally describes itself as “colonizers.” However, in each case of the sort, finer-minded independent civilizations grow up in surrounding systems and offer a critique of such offenders. Clearly, humans can choose to emulate a better strategy.

It helps to remember that, in some multi-galactic neighborhoods, there may be a kind of bully, a population that’s both feared and organized against – due to the given population’s excesses. Some populations of the sort may have developed in relative isolation or amid a heated galactic competition, a competition that, in the bully’s case, results in a repressive bureaucracy – for defensive reasons. Sadly enough, some such bureaucracies have reportedly lingered, long after the perceived external threat abated. According to various aliens’ reports, the end result can be a subtly disguised bias against other species, a presumption of superiority; an epic kind of wastefulness. What begins as a defensive mobilization ends up as a self-serving apparatus intended to boost the given population’s lifestyle above and beyond that of all local competitors.

Sound familiar?

This puts the burden of correction on the surrounding populations, who, in turn, must waste precious resources in a concerted attempt to either ward off, or correct the burgeoning offender. Ultimately, intergalactic agreements must arise in order to do so, i.e. on a galaxy super-cluster level (thousands of galaxies). Even then, there can be obstacles: hyper-advanced regimes on a larger scale that sometimes try to repress individual sensitivities and seek to control populations of lesser duration. Among elderly aliens in such regimes’ security services (some of whom can be thousands of years old, if not more, hence extremely de-sensitized) the need to control others can be destructive and rigidly compulsive in character. We need to be careful with regimes that tend to run on autopilot due to advanced, albeit subtly-mechanized idealizations of thought. Sometimes, due to age and mind-numbing experience, they seem to run out of creative impulses and lapse into defensiveness, coupled with reflexive observation.

Based upon what we now know, we can expect to see neighborhoods that, at times, are stressed in ways that literally tax the human imagination. For example, the Milky Way lies just along the outer fringe of the Virgo super-cluster of galaxies. Virgo contains about 2000 galaxies, compared to the 3 spiral galaxies (plus 14 smaller irregulars and 17 yet smaller ellipticals) in the Milky Way’s local group of galaxies. Smack in the middle of the Virgo super-cluster (not a large super-cluster – as super-clusters go) is the galaxy M-87, a giant elliptical galaxy containing about 1.3 trillion suns’ worth of mass. The Milky Way is less than one-fifth as big, in comparison. Over time, M-87 has apparently gobbled up smaller galaxies, causing a bizarrely destructive “hyper-nova” explosion whenever M-87’s massive central black hole swallowed a smaller galaxy’s central black hole.

So, in the center of Virgo is a giant galaxy (M-87) that is both too hot, and too dangerous to support all of the populations of the galaxies that M-87 ate, so to speak. Surrounding galaxies would be expected to accommodate a number of refugees, to share the burden more widely. Also within Virgo, i.e. running along what is called the Markarian Chain of galaxies, are numerous other large ellipticals that would, by now, have required a similar cooperation. As a result, we can reasonably predict that galaxy super-clusters are either intense war zones, which would be both undesirable and ecologically unsustainable (hence considerably less likely over time), or we can predict that they begin to organize into a greater kind of commonality, which, although stressed at times, more accurately reflects the larger universal ecology for one obvious reason: most of the galaxies in our universe are found in galaxy super-clusters.

Alien sources say that large-scale cooperation is the norm and that super-clusters are carefully monitored as to ecological outcomes. Given the prohibitive energy and environmental costs of war involving advanced alien technologies, full-scale conflict is reportedly rare. However, disputes can arise, which presumably deepens the movement toward larger, collective alternatives and legal arrangements.

In the end, the social prism through which humans view themselves will affect the way that humans both judge, and prepare to interact with off-world populations. But what about the more capable alien judgment of humans, in return? If humans try to weaponize interstellar space in order leap out and grab the planets of neighboring star systems, humans can expect to either suffer their own internal contradictions, or possibly perish prematurely due to elite-driven environmental failures, some of which could involve the misuse of electrogravity. In such a scenario, aliens would be less likely to advise on how to use electrogravity correctly.

Further dangers lie in the submergence of a US black budget regime from public view. By pretending that it can play both good cop (by interacting with aliens in an exclusively military-industrial fashion), and, at the same time, play bad cop (by casually shooting down numerous alien craft in order to scavenge them), it could endanger our survival as a planet. When a relatively backward human structure of the sort gets its hands on technology that alien neighbors cannot trust will be used safely, a basic judgment is in order: should the planet be gently revolutionized, or should it be “allowed” to perish – before it becomes too dangerous?

Alien Communities

Aliens have conveyed that there are reasonable limits on everyone and every kind within the universe. The message must be important because aliens have stated it over and over again. The way that it’s stated helps to illustrate different outlooks and different strategies within different galactic neighborhoods. In our own case, the Milky Way, presumably a fairly normal galaxy, has been described by aliens as densely inhabited. This doesn’t mean that aliens are camping on the asteroids in our system due to an overflow in the nearest star systems. Instead, it suggests that many planets that are suitable for life now hold advanced civilizations, some of which have spread to other planets for reasons such as the death of a star or planet, overpopulation, shared planet projects involving different alien “species,” etc.

To put it bluntly, there are no unknown frontiers, in the old human sense of the word. All of our galaxy has been surveyed, scientifically, and some has been left undisturbed for the future’s evolving life forms and for the later needs of responsible populations. This last bit of info has been communicated by one particular group of Milky Way aliens and by “hyperversals” (older, more advanced aliens), in unmistakably graphic ways. One such alien said that the largest single population in the Milky Way numbers roughly “38 trillion” individuals. In a more universal sense, when we speak of alien hyper-community and alien mind-form, we should remember that human “discovery” of the extra dimensions of mind isn’t actually a discovery, at all. Such phenomena pre-date humankind. Better yet, the human awareness of such has been cultivated and deftly steered by aliens who have long wanted to help us, in part to prevent our becoming a problem case.

I would be remiss if I didn’t describe the general flavor, the tenor of alien remarks on the subject. When we speak of a universe of hyper-condensed, collective identities – a higher kind of mindedness, it should be obvious that, at present, all over the universe there are highly refined cultural contexts for such interactions. One useful metaphor is that of an opera house. For humans to dunder into hyper-community crudely would be like a hermit’s drunken entrance into a large, urban opera house – during a performance. To stumble in and fire a pistol into the roof would be offensive, of course.

The analogy holds true for both travel and weapons in interstellar space. Humans are lucky, in a sense. The universe and our galactic neighborhood are now highly civilized. Most of us will be relieved to know that orderly processes and highly advanced minds have already prepared a context into which we currently emerge. Non-violence and ecology are the main themes, apparently. Although we are, in some ways, being prepared to prevent unwanted, un-ecological entries into our star system, no one “out there” wants to dangerously weaponize the context. At present, humans are a problem case, in that we’re trapped within a kind of nationalism, an idealization of commerce that allows rampant poverty, plus ecological and other crimes against humanity, when, instead, we could easily convene global agreements to prevent such disasters, in the first place.

To aliens, this is so obvious as to be mathematically explicit. The nature of the problem suggests its solution. However, a new kind of humility is called for (albeit not “new” in a universal sense). Official disclosure about the alien presence will cause the public to question whether other worlds learned to moderate in order to survive. With some exceptions – aliens have learned to see beyond their specious pretensions in order to make their societies more equal. Aliens who fail to do so sometimes render their planets uninhabitable. The grays and Haven aliens both describe such an outcome in their histories. *The death of the gray world is a lesson in population ecology, given that some aliens say it involved an aggressive colonial intervention (LA Times journalist Phillip Krapf calls the colonizers the Verdants – a oversized population from a galaxy 14 million light years away).

Six decades after Roswell, we need to know more about our alien neighbors. Cosmic citizenship will test old human notions because universal citizenship poses a higher standard. It is all-inclusive. Some may point their fingers and ask which aliens, where, and how? Meanwhile, humans must think through the long-term implications of human-alien interactions. Aliens have suggested that we’re independently responsible to both investigate, and help plan out a larger social context. We’ll certainly be helped in the process.

From the alien perspective, humans make violent, wasteful mistakes that are avoidable. Alien observers have suggested that the only way we’ll survive is to commit to a more global citizenship of laws and decent principle. This doesn’t mean that nations would cease to exist, or that basic freedoms need be compromised. According to aliens, simple common sense should prevail – with some doing.

To humans who say that we should simply point our classist arrow in a different direction and do a corrupted military-industrial version of disclosure, i.e. aliens as the enemy, aliens say we need to be more honest about life within a civilized universe. In a mathematical sense, there are phenomenal capacities within honesty that simply don’t exist otherwise. Honesty expands and connects within the extra dimensions of mind and community, while corrupted minds tend to collapse within themselves, due to singular defects of character. They don’t connect, in a larger sense, because they’re too self-absorbed and predatory. As it is, human disparities and bad ecology seem unfair. Would “nature” actually allow a self-indulgent human elite to spoil an entire planet’s future?

It certainly would.

Part of the problem, of course, is that nature is often rationalized in terms of animal impulses, when instead, we need to understand the “nature of nature,” the finer, extra-dimensional implications of more advanced science and survival strategies.

To argue the case for honesty, in a living topological sense, is not to argue the case for naivete. Epic extremes of corruption in alien-related parts of the US black budget structure were presaged in Eisenhower’s warning about the “the military-industrial complex.” As both Eisenhower and Einstein suggested, our greatest vulnerability is a multi-national corporate regime in which anti-social lifestyles are handed down from father to son, an arrangement that encourages the destruction of natural resources. If left unchecked, such a regime will ruin irreplaceable resources, which would spell the end of basic human freedoms.

Generally speaking, humans who interact with aliens sometimes feel burdened by immersion into a mixed human-alien context. They may feel put down when aliens mention subjects like genetic engineering (aliens’ enlarged brains and their resistance to high energy fields), higher intelligence, advanced technologies, new notions of mind in the universe, and more. After years of interactions of the sort, however, I recall relatively few direct alien attempts to demean humans in such terms. Nonetheless, differences between human and alien societies can make both parties feel uncomfortable, at times.

Among alien societies, genetic engineering is standard fare, for obvious reasons. It results in longer lives, higher intelligence and the ability to withstand high-energy fields during faster-than-light electrogravity / magnetogravity travel. Factions of the US black budget structure know this, of course. Greg Ventner, former head of Celera, the company that published a preliminary human genetic code several years ago, spent some $13 million investigating a pink bacteria that can withstand 1300 times more radiation exposure than humans can. Black budget profiteers may want to insert the gene into humans, much as a gene for greenish fluorescence was inserted into a monkey that glowed in the dark, afterward.

Non-colonizing aliens can be expected to have engineered human-alien hybrids, plus mixed versions of both themselves and other aliens. This is done to explore human gene expression and to create filter populations for use as intermediaries during interaction with humans.

More On The Verdants

Phillip Krapf worked as Metro Editor for the Los Angeles Times, until retiring in the mid-1990’s. According to Krapf, less than two years later in 1997 he was unexpectedly taken up for a three day visit on a large, disk-shaped craft owned by “the Verdants” – thin, slightly bulge-eyed aliens with large heads; roughly 5′ 6″ inches tall. Krapf says the Verdants’ skin is either white or tan, with greenish tints, and that they have slightly pointed ear tips. An earnest, well-regarded journalist who speaks with no outward sign of dishonesty, Krapf suggests that he may have been selected for the encounter because he’s a reputable professional who had previously been skeptical about aliens and UFO’s. Krapf won a Pulitzer Prize as editor of what was then one of the best newspapers in the country. He did fact-checking and was responsible for steering reporters and removing inaccuracies in their stories. Given his conservative, mainstream stature, he may be the most well-regarded witness of his sort, to date.

In two recent books Krapf writes that in fully conscious encounters with the Verdants, a sexually-reproducing population of 500 trillion individuals, the Verdants told Krapf that Verdants live for thousands of years and that Verdants currently inhabit 246,000 different planets. Krapf was told that the Verdants are from a galaxy that is 14 million light years away. His writing is remarkably detailed, and, in overall terms, is consistent with reports by hundreds of persons who claim to have encountered gray aliens.

If true, Krapf’s story would be the second full-length, minute-by-minute account about an open alien attempt at diplomatic interaction with fully-conscious humans. The first was Alec Newald’s book, Coevolution, about a ten-day journey to Haven, the planet of a competing alien group. *There have been other books about interactions that some readers might consider diplomatic, yet they were neither as prolonged and explicit, nor as recent as Krapf’s and Newald’s books, in which aliens appear to have gone out of their way to accommodate the writers by providing psychotronically effected, near-total recall. Apparently, this was done to facilitate publication of both stories. Given the frequency of recent contacts and sightings, paralleled by a cryptic dribble of human officials’ disclosures, these three books stand out in a fast-developing, new context. Krapf writes that he was taken for a second visit with the Verdants three years later in 2000.

Krapf reports that, so far, Verdants have persuaded 27,000 other non-Verdant planets to join under their umbrella, adding yet another 150 trillion aliens to their group (which touts itself as a collective). Each of the additional 27,000 planets is reportedly inhabited by a different alien species. Given that a large galaxy like our own contains roughly 150 billion stars, there should be many habitable planets in a typical galaxy. So, we shouldn’t conclude that Verdant numbers mean that they control a number of other large galaxies. A single large spiral galaxy could contain most of the Verdant alignment. *If all Verdant planets were in a single large spiral galaxy like ours, Verdants would be in but one of every 600,000 to one million star systems.

Krapf says Verdants call their umbrella the Intergalactic Federation of Sovereign Planets, or the IFSP. If Krapf is correct, we live within reach of a galaxy (14 million light years away) inhabited by colonizing Verdants who speak in terms of a federated structure, which implies a central, over-riding authority. Verdant incursions here, some of which reportedly involve gray alien abductions of humans, may have accelerated our awareness of off-world dynamics. Krapf writes that in a series of meetings on a 1 1/2 mile diameter, disk-shaped Verdant ship with many windows and entry ports, Verdants admitted that they have orchestrated years of human interactions for scientific and breeding purposes prior to attempting a diplomatic opening to humankind.

Krapf says that Verdants have contacted roughly 800 human “ambassadors,” persons chosen by the Verdants, not by humans, to help initiate relations with the Verdant contingent aboard ship. Krapf further says that while onboard he saw at least one US citizen of national stature being led on a tour of the disk. While in the disk, Krapf learned that a Times Mirror executive (LA Times) was tentatively part of the program. Krapf later spoke with the man, who fearfully admitted involvement. Krapf saw a list plus photos of hundreds of other human contacts for the Verdant diplomatic initiative. For yet unspecified reasons, the projected Verdant opening was delayed several years past its planned date. Krapf says the Verdants he met seemed reticent yet certain that Verdants would succeed in setting the agenda here, which seems ironic because Verdants proposed that they be allotted 600 square miles of empty land in the US Southwest to build a center for interaction with humans.

Phillip Krapf reports that on his first three-day visit to the Verdants’ disk-shaped cruiser he was “shown a roster of many of the important (Earth) people who had been recruited as Ambassadors, which was a virtual Who’s Who of the World.” Ambassadors are humans reportedly taken to the Verdant ship to be instructed, then used in a Verdant plan to adopt Earth within the IFSP.

Readers should bear in mind that in all probability, Verdants represent little more than the dominant population of one large spiral galaxy 14 million light years distant from our own. Verdants reportedly told Krapf they’re from a galaxy group that, like our own galaxy group, is located out on the fringes of the Virgo super-cluster of galaxies. The Virgo super-cluster contains some 2000 galaxies. In short, Verdants would represent but one galaxy out of a vastly larger 50 billion to 100 billion galaxies within the larger, visible universe. Alien competitors of the Verdants go out of their way to emphasize this fact with specific reference to the Verdants, by the way. Further reports have partly corroborated Krapf’s story about the Verdants.

Although some who are new to alien studies would like to think that aliens are all about electrogravity, interstellar travel, and community of mind, they aren’t. The main concern communicated by aliens, at present, is the universal ecology. Why the ecology? Because there are no unlimited quantities in the known universe. Rather than assume that unoccupied territory is simply open for the taking, humans have been advised to remember that all large galaxies are already inhabited by advanced civilizations. In other words, the most important task for humans, now, is to be self-sufficient and learn about more responsible alien populations, rather than stumble out in pig-headed search of real estate.

Some humans assume that they have always gone about their business without setting limits on population and wealth, yet in a more basic sense, every family makes such decisions daily. For all humans to do what most of us have done – to forego a life of material excess and limit one’s family – is not a major stretch of the imagination. Should we continue down our present, one-way street toward global ecological breakdown, we can expect the larger off-world community to either distance itself from the regime(s) here or try to convince humans to compel a change before we become a threat to our neighbors. People who interact with aliens say that advisories of the sort are an everyday occurrence.
