Earth became sort of a private preserve for the Galactic Survey to study. Apparently, there were beacons out in space that warned other spaceships away from the area, etc., advising them not to land on the planet or contact its people. (You might say – don’t land, the natives are restless.)

They felt there had to be a continuous observation of the planet, the people, and the children that would be growing up in succeeding generations. The Confederation later decided to put some fixed installations of their own on Earth because they couldn’t keep a ship circling overhead continuously. They did construct some hidden, fixed installations on Earth and staffed them.

But they found out something very interesting. After the first staff had been on Earth for almost a year, they started bickering with one another. They studied this abnormal behavior and discovered that it took a little over nine months for whatever it was affecting the Earth to start affecting their people staffing the installations. They set up a schedule where they rotated their staff each six months at each installation.

Apparently, from time to time, their people would go out from these fixed installations and try to help those little communities of human beings who were scattered around the planet. However, they found out something very interesting. Obviously, the staff was a great deal more intelligent than those they were trying to help and that humans resented their attempts to help them. Consequently, they had to devise some new ground rules for themselves. Every time they went out they had to remain incognito, and the help they would offer would be very subtle at any particular time. They couldn’t do anything major because humans resented anyone who appeared superior in any way.

They decided on a way of doing this. They would use their telepathic abilities to prompt and inspire the thinking of humans and lead them into solutions of the problems they were facing. They also had another technique. They created teams of specialists who went out among the humans posing as wise men.

In the meantime, they were still very busy with the planet Earth. The Survey saw there were certain other deficiencies about the planet. They set about transplanting vegetation in other parts of the world. They devised new hybrid grains and edible vegetation. They noted that humans and their children were reacting the same as the animals of this world. They would eat anything, including each other, if they got hungry enough. So they developed the first of what we call the hybrid grains that were used in planting.

They had moved some people around too. By this time, now, quite a number of generations had gone by and there were many humans running around. They moved these people while they were asleep, putting them in different parts of the world in what they considered to be environments easier for them to live in, not the harsh environments they always seemed to be choosing. After they had moved some of these people around, they noticed something else strange. Apparently, the earth’s magnetic field was changing. Cosmic radiation was coming in and genetic mutations started taking place.

Soltec explained that the various colors of the races on our planet were caused by mutations. In other words, they all started out being fair complexioned, but because of these mutations different things started happening to the size and shape of the skeletal structure and the pigmentation of the skin. That is why we have different sizes and colors of people on our planet – the red, yellow, brown, black races, etc. Essentially they were all the same in the beginning, but these things happened to them in different areas where the radiation got to them.

He then described the start of the great civilizations, as he called them. He mentioned Atlantis, Lemuria and Shumeria. I asked him if he didn’t mean Sumeria. He said that the name Sumeria was our modern name for that area where they lived. The original and correct name was Shumeria. He went on to say that Shumeria was just as old as Atlantis, and there was a tremendous error in our dating of when these civilizations were present. In fact, there were many errors in our recorded history. He said that the Atlantean, Lemurian and Shumerian civilizations started out about 1,800,000 B.C.

They existed as the three great civilizations present until about 1,365,000 B.C., or a period of some 435,000 years. Also, that Atlantis and Lemuria were not as recent as 16,000 or 24,000 years ago, as many human scholars believed.

He spoke of how these people progressed, what a peaceful, beautiful existence they had and the tranquility. In Earth’s terms it was almost ideal. But in terms of MAN, the people of the Confederation, it still left a lot to be desired because they didn’t have the other abilities or awareness which MAN was trying to help them with.

These people did have a sense of their own divinity. But the environment of Earth produced what we would call throwbacks, as there were always some individuals that would revert to a more savage, irrational, behavior than all the other children being born at that particular time.

Soltec kept using the terms ‘irrational’ and ‘belligerent’ regarding how some of the children and adults were reacting to each other and in describing their behavior. Overall, the rest of humanity seemed to be coming along rather nicely. The Atlanteans and Shumerians were peaceful, cultured, and were developing an advanced science. The Lemurians were intense agriculturists and were also peaceful. None of these groups were angry at each other or fighting with each other and they had no vast differences of opinion. They did trade with each other, so they got along fairly well.

Soltec, then said, “I’m going to tell you a story about what happened to these races.” The following is what he related to me.

During this 435,000 year interval all three of these civilizations were on a parallel growth curve and they all became major powers upon the planet Earth.

However, about that time a major catastrophic event occurred. An ancient adversary of the Confederation, a race named the Satonians came to Earth. Secretly, they infiltrated human society. They could hide their presence in the Earth’s negative environment without being detected by the Confederation because the negative vibrations of the Earth provided a perfect cover for their operations. They blended in with humans and were difficult to spot. They called themselves Atlans and said they came from a distant continent.

As far back as Confederation history reached, the Satonians had always been at odds with the Confederation. They were a race roughly parallel in evolution with the Confederation but their dominant philosophy was exactly the opposite. If one were to speculate about the existence of a “Dark Force” in the universe, the Satonians appeared to be the representatives of such a power. They seemed obsessed with trying to upset the plans of the Confederation in any way possible. Their technology and telepathic abilities were roughly on a par with the Confederation’s. They played a constant game of negative one-upmanship. If they could upset the Confederation’s plans regarding the planet Earth, it would be a worthwhile endeavor for them.

The Satonians (Atlans) infiltrated human society and caused strife and dissension.

To achieve power and control over humanity they invented the first religion ever to exist on Earth. They built temples in Atlantis, Lemuria and Shumeria and created a priesthood class. They started gaining control of their unsuspecting religious disciples and congregations through both telepathic and hypnotic mental controls. The Satonians were highly adept in this area and were able to gain control of people’s thinking. They did this when people came to the religious services held in their temples. The hypnotic influence was contained in the rituals of their religious services.

The Satonians’ game plan was to create strife between these three major civilizations on Earth.

They wanted to start a war between Atlantis and Lemuria – each being told, by their Satonian priests, that theirs was the only true religion. That was their idea – to get them fighting with one another.

The Confederation was puzzled about what was going wrong. So, they made careful appraisals of the people and discovered the presence of the Satonians, posing as Atlans, and the tremendous influence they had acquired. It was going to be very difficult to do anything about the situation, without innocent people being harmed.

The Confederation alerted all their people when it became evident that a major war was brewing between Atlantis and Lemuria. They received permission from both their Galactic and Solar Tribunals to evacuate everyone who was not under Satonian telepathic or hypnotic influence. The Confederation was quickly able to determine which people were controlled and which ones were not. Meanwhile, both Atlantis and Lemuria were poised on the brink of warring with each other. Shumeria, with great difficulty, was trying to remain neutral. At any moment the war could start. On the evening of the day just before the war started, the Confederation secretly evacuated approximately 100,000 people from planet Earth. They took them out to many other worlds; adopted them in a sense.

When this was accomplished, a fleet of Confederation ships approached the Earth. They were going to confront the Satonians. The Satonians were shocked at the fleets’ appearance, and that their presence on Earth had been discovered. They were equally shocked to discover that a large portion of the Earth’s population was missing. They were furious. In their anger, and desperation to escape from what they thought was an avenging Confederation fleet, they unleashed their nuclear weapons and within a brief interval caused the destruction of Atlantis, Lemuria and Shumeria as they fled from the Earth.

The Earth was bathed in destruction and devastating atomic radiation. Those, on the surface, who survived became the mutants that your history describes as cavemen – the prehistoric men such as the Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon. This does fit in with your history records that indicates cavemen were present 1,000,000 years ago upon the Earth.

The cavemen were actually mutants, the remnants of this holocaust. Apparently, when the Satonians left the Earth they decided if they couldn’t have it, neither could the Confederation – so they attempted to destroy all humanity.

This was a tremendous blow to the Confederation because everything they had worked for was destroyed. It meant starting all over. Their obligation to the remaining Earthmen was profound. Now they had to institute a whole new set of plans and try to work with these remnants so that human civilization could begin again.

The ones that were evacuated from the planet and taken to the other stars exhibited a remarkable change. Within nine months after being relocated, they started recovering some of the abilities of MAN. In other words, once removed from Earth’s negative environment they started regaining the mental faculties normal to MAN.

Soltec had finished the story. I could tell from the look on his face, that telling me that story had been a distressing ordeal for him. I couldn’t help wondering if he had been involved in what he had described. After a few moments he continued. He described what had occurred afterwards.

He said the Earth continued to experience change. At that particular time the earth went through a series of blows that was very discouraging to the Confederation. The remaining humans had tremendous physical devastation and destruction to contend with. In addition, the Earth’s magnetic field chose to reverse itself at that time. This was one of those cyclic events. It was very unfortunate because it allowed another huge dose of cosmic radiation to pour in, which aggravated the mutation problem even more. Right on the heels of this, the Glacial Age occurred, because the weather patterns had changed. It was like there was a series of punches being delivered to the Earth and everything that the Confederation tried to do was being thwarted. The Earth, then, was wobbling badly on its axis.

Soltec, took a moment to back up and explained what happened just before the demise of Atlantis and Lemuria. The Confederation had been in communication and had trade agreements with the Atlanteans, Lemurians and Shumerians, and those civilizations had many scientific items that had been given them by the Confederation. When they knew that the coming war would occur and, later, that an evacuation was planned, an effort was made to preserve some of the scientific, historical artifacts, and records from each of the civilizations. These would be preserved for a future time when civilization on the planet would again reach a state where they could be used. To accomplish this a number of time vaults were constructed. Many of these artifacts were stored in certain places, where they would remain, until they could be used again.

Soltec then spoke about Earth’s second moon. The Confederation had created a small moon as an additional storage facility for the most important records and artifacts. He described this moon as about a mile in diameter. It had an ellipsoid orbit, which took about eight years to complete in its orbit around the Earth. This moon would, at its closest point, be within 9.3 million miles of the Earth. Because the orbit was centered on the Earth, it became a second moon of the Earth. It is still a satellite of the Earth even though it goes out and then comes back.

Author’s Note: It was not until 1964, ten years later, that this was verified. At that time, Dr. Samuel Herrick at UCLA discovered this second moon, described the same identical orbit, estimated its size as one mile in diameter and came up with the same figure of 9.3 million miles on its closest approach to the Earth, and a cycle of every eight years. Dr. Herrick called this moon “Toro.”

Soltec continued his discussion of the events following the destruction of Atlantis. After the series of devastating blows to the Earth, the Confederation again brought in new types of grains, plants, and trees. Soltec mentioned the breadfruit tree and the banana tree, specifically. The reason? So surviving humanity would have ready-made fruits they could consume. Of course there was a shortage of animal life after these series of blows. The survivors had to have food. The Confederation was responsible for these new species being brought to Earth.

Author’s Note: I understand that botanists have never really figured out where the breadfruit tree or banana tree came from. There was no precursor to them from which they could have evolved.

Again, the Confederation did try to help the people of Earth. They brought in some of their terra-forming experts who reshaped part of the planet to get rid of the devastation and nullify the radioactivity.

As a result of this series of catastrophes, which all happened about 1,360,000 B.C., there were many types of life forms that became suddenly extinct, such as the dinosaurs and many other prehistoric creatures. The cavemen also disappeared at this time. It took something like 10,000 years for all of these events to occur. By Confederation time, 10,000 years is a short interval of time.

Soltec said that the next time that the Earth’s magnetic field would change its polarity or reverse itself would be in the year 2150 A.D. But, he said, that will not present any problem then as the planet Earth would be in a New Age and MAN will be here. The Confederation (MAN) will prevent any adverse effects from occurring.

Regarding the Earth wobbling on its axis, the Confederation decided they would have to stop that. They decided to bring in their specialists and build the “great” pyramids. The pyramids were to function as motion stabilizers for the planet. They would eliminate any further axial excursion, or the wobble, and stabilize the planet’s rotation. This was about 45,000 years ago.

The people they brought in to build the pyramids were from the star system of Aldebaran. Later, in history, other functions were included in the pyramids that would benefit humankind.

Author’s Note: The Egyptian civilization would come much later in time. The Pharaohs did not build the pyramids, at least not the Great Pyramid.

All the Great Pyramids were originally built on the equator of the planet. Right after this, however, mother nature created another surprise and the Earth rolled. It rolled just enough that it moved the equator up thirty degrees. That is why the great pyramids of the world are located on the thirtieth degree of North Latitude today.

This caused the Great Flood spoken of by Noah. When the Earth physically rolled that thirty degrees, the oceans swept over the land. It was another disaster.

Originally, the pyramids were only deigned to control the axial wobble of the Earth, not to prevent the Earth from physically rolling. However, because of this event, additional devices were installed to prevent this from happening again.

Almost from the beginning there had been this series of inexplicable events that just kept happening to the Earth, which left the Confederation puzzled. Just when one problem was solved, something else would come along.

After Soltec had finished this historical outline, I turned my line of questioning back to the ship itself, because of my curiosity. He explained that this particular spaceship could travel at multiples of the speed of light. He said the journey from Alpha Centauri to Earth was a little less than four hours, depending on how fast they wanted to go. Travel within our Solar System, to any of the planets, could easily be accomplished in less than an hour.

I asked him about the power plant of this ship, the engines, or whatever. He said the ship carried no fuel supply. He said that the energy that the ship could draw upon was almost infinite in terms of its potential. The amount of power the ship could draw upon was only limited by its ability to dissipate that power. The dissipation of the power had to equal what they were drawing in, and that is where the limiting factor came in.

The energy they used was all around them in space. He described it as being the electromagnetic and electrostatic lines of force that were present everywhere in the universe. They twisted or bent these lines of force, parallel, for a fraction of a moment. This provided them all the energy they needed.

Aboard this particular space ship, they did have a small fusion generator, an atomic generator that was like a starter motor. It generated the power to create a force-field, which in turn, could bend the lines of force and release the major energy they needed.

I asked him how their force-fields differed from those described by our modern science fiction writers. He apparently knew about this. He said that unlike those described by science fiction writers, theirs was a resonating magnetic force-field. He mentioned that this force-field could do a number of things. It could either push or pull the ship through space, depending on how they were using it and cause the ship to change direction. Or, it could be used to pull or push an object away from or to the ship. This force-field could also be used to bend light rays around the ship, which would cause it to become invisible to the eyes, and the same thing could be done with radiation. In other words, they could make it invisible to radar or any other form of electronic detection equipment.

The visible glow about the ship itself, or the force-field, was very difficult to see in bright daylight as the glow is washed out by the surrounding lighting. But against a dark background, or at night, you could see it easily. The reason such ships glowed different colors was that the gasses in our atmosphere were being ionized at different levels of power. If the ship was dissipating energy, such as when accelerating or slowing down as it passed through our atmosphere, it would cause these different gasses to ionize and glow at different energy levels.

As to the movement of the vehicle, he mentioned that the reason I felt no movement at all was that since the ship itself physically was surrounded by a magnetic field, everything enclosed in that magnetic field lacked what we call inertia. As a result, we (meaning those of us aboard this craft) felt no sensation of movement, even though we were moving at a high velocity. They did use a form of artificial gravity to establish what was up and down and to keep things from floating around inside the ship.

The fact that the crew was enclosed in the magnetic field allowed the ship to make abrupt right-angle turns. A magnetic field, he explained, cancels the ‘G’ forces because it cancels the inertia of anything inside the field. Thus, they could make abrupt maneuvers and they would never feel it nor would it have any effect on them.

The way the ship maneuvered as far as turning it or pointing it in different directions, etc., was that they could tilt the angle of the force-field. For example, if they were leaving the earth, the force-field would be opposing the Earth’s field and pushing it away. By controlling the angle of the field, in relation to the Earth’s magnetic field, the ship could move in any direction desired.

They could also change the polarity of the field around the ship. In other words, if the force-field was acting like a magnet’s north pole against another north pole for repulsion, they could change it to the opposite polarity and thus use it for attraction.

He described how it worked on the Earth. He said, “Your scientists are aware of everything I am telling you, because that is why the people on your planet don’t feel any sense of movement. And yet the planet Earth is actually moving in three directions at once and no one on the surface detects this movement. This is because you are enclosed within the magnetic field of the planet itself.”

I told him that if I ever told this story, people would not believe me. Not only that, but they would probably lock me up and throw the key away.

He said, “No, you won’t run into that.” He also said, “Never allow yourself to be put into a position where you are being forced to defend the information that you are receiving from us. You let the information stand on its own merit. Let it defend itself. Don’t you come to its defense.”

Author’s Note: I have tried to remember those words down through the years. I don’t try to justify the information. In other words, if it is right it will be recognized as truth and if it’s not, that also will become known. That is why I never attempted to get on the bandwagon or sign affidavits that this is true, etc.

Soltec mentioned that I would become involved in the Confederation’s work in the near future, and as the work progressed, there would be people who would gradually come forth to help as we went along. He talked about future meetings that would take place. He said I would have all the help needed, when it was essential, when the time was right. He kept stressing, “when the time is right.” It was all a question of timing.

All the pieces had to fall into place before any of these things could happen. He cautioned me not to make sensational statements where I could be put on the spot, and then, if an event was either ahead or behind the schedule and nothing happened, I would be discredited.

He mentioned that there was a group I would be working with in the future. He called this group the Mission Team. In addition, I would also be affiliated with another group called The Solar Cross. This work would blossom out and others would be involved. He talked of other groups, scattered around the world, that were doing other things, all of a helpful nature. One thing he did say was that very few of them would be doing the same type of work being accomplished by the Mission Team or the Solar Cross. It might be similar, but not the same identical thing. They had people doing different things for different reasons.

About one o’clock in the morning, I said, “Soltec, part of the message that you transmitted earlier this day stated that there was going to be a radio communication with the other people in our group, at two o’clock in the morning. Do you suppose it would be possible for me to say hello to them?” I thought I was being a little bit crafty. I said, “I would like to tell them that I am all right, because I’m sure by now they are worried, as they would have found the abandoned truck.” Fortunately, I had thought to lock it. The only problem I had in my mind was my partner deciding to drive the truck back to Detroit. I didn’t know when this experience was going to end and so I said, “Soltec, I think everybody would be greatly relieved if you would let me at least say hello to them.”

He said, “Yes, you can say hello to them.” I said, “Thank you,” and we went on talking.

About 1:55 a.m., it now being near 2:00 a.m. Monday morning, he asked me to accompany him to the desk in the center of the room. I asked, “What are we supposed to do?” He said, “We are going to be communicating with your friends in just a few moments. Sit down in the chair.”

I looked around for a microphone and said, “What do you talk into?” I thought he was going to hand me something. He said, “You don’t have to talk into anything. Just sit there and talk. They will hear you.”

Two o’clock came and he said, “You can speak to them.” Well, the first thing I said was, “Hi, guys. This is Dick. I’m OK. I’m with the boys.” I had no sooner said this when one of the vision screens across from me lit up and there, in full color, was a picture of my six friends sitting in their car at the cemetery.

This was incredible. I had been an electronics technician; I had an FCC engineers license. I was a ham radio operator. I thought I knew a great deal about electronics. But whatever it was that these people were using to produce this picture was going through the roof of that automobile as if it didn’t exist, because I could see the people seated in the back seat as well as those in the front seat. There were six people in the car. They were perfectly illuminated and yet they were out in the countryside where it was pitch black. There were no street lights. Yet they were well lit, and in beautiful color. I had never seen color like that. Remember, color television was just coming in, in the middle 1950s. The view was from the front of the automobile at an angle of about 45 degrees, looking down. Well, I was kind of speechless for a second, and I said, “Hey, guys. Guess what? You’re on television.”

Right away I knew if anybody was ever going to believe what was happening to me, now was my only chance. I said, “Don, you’re in the driver’s seat and you’ve got your brown jacket on. Henry, you’re sitting in the back seat and you’re wearing a red necktie and a blue shirt.” I told the woman what she was wearing and everybody else, as fast as I could say it, because just about that time I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked around and Soltec was looking at me with the type of look that said, my friend you have gone too far. He said, “Richard, I will speak to them now.” I said, “I’ll see you guys later,” and I got up.

The image stayed on the screen all the time and I could see them all leaning forward listening intently to the radio. Soltec sat down and he talked with them for maybe two or three minutes. He ended the communication, but he did not set a new schedule for another communication. He told them that I would be all right.

Well, it was two o’clock Monday morning. All of our little group worked for a living, including those six people down in the car. As soon as the message ended and they had been reassured that I was all right, they did the next logical thing. They turned around and drove back to Detroit so they could get some sleep. There had been no mention as to when I was going to come back. They just knew I was with the space friends and that apparently I was all right.

The image faded on the television screen. Soltec and I walked back over to the chairs we had been sitting in previously and talked for a little while longer. At 2:30 a.m., he gently took me by the arm again and said, “Richard, it is time to leave.” He steered me toward the door. He talked with me as we walked down the hallway, to the outer rim of the ship; and when I got there the other fellow was there, the hatchway was open, the stairs were down. Soltec said, “Richard, we will see you again.” With that, he turned and walked away.

Well, I had no choice. I went down the stairs. I jumped off the last step onto the ground. It was 2:30 a.m. and it was very dark. I turned and within just a few seconds the vehicle started to move away.

Now that it was pitch-black outside, I could see a very pale violet bluish haze all around the ship. It tilted slightly and in about four or five blinks of the eye it disappeared – without a sound.

I was left standing there in the countryside and the first thing I looked for was the truck. It was still parked where I had left it. My partner apparently figured I was going to have to get back to Detroit somehow. I went over, unlocked the truck, got in it, started the engine and drove away. I was going back to Detroit, leave the truck at the office, get in my automobile and go home and get some sleep.
