  This shows how these space people take care of
some big bugs.

.....................................................
.....................................................

  Thao took me in her arms, put me on the bunk and
removed my mask. I saw that happen from two or three
meters from my body! I imagine that certain things
in this book will seem incomprehensible to the
unwarned reader, but I saw my body from a distance
and I was able to move about in the room just by
thought.
  Thao spoke. "Michel, I know that you see me and
hear me, but I am not able to see you myself,
therefore I cannot look at you when I speak to you.
Your Astral being has left your body. There is no
danger in this - you needn't worry. I know that
this is the first time this has happened to you,
and there are people who panic...
  "I have given you a special drug in order to
cleanse your body of all bacteria that is
dangerous to us. I have also given you another
d-ug that has caused your Astral being to leave
your body - this will last three hours, the
time it will take to purify you. In this way,
you will be able to visit our spacecraft,
without danger of contamination to us and
without wasting time."
  As strange as it seems, I found this quite
natural - and I followed her. It was
fascinating. She arrived in front of a panel
that slid open to let us pass into one chamber
after another.
  I was following at some distance and each
time, if the panel had already closed by the
time I reached it - I quite simply passed
through it.
  Finally, we reached a circular room, about
20 meters in diameter, in which there were
at least a dozen �astronauts" - all women
and all about Thao's size. Thao approached
a group of four who were seated in enormous,
comfortable looking armchairs, arranged in
a circle. When she sat down in a vacant
seat, the four heads turned towards her
questioningly. She almost seemed to take
delight in making them wait: finally she
spoke.
  I was again charmed to hear that language
- the assonance was quite new to me, and
the intonations so harmonious that one would
have thought they were singing. They all
seemed to be greatly interested in Thao's
report. I supposed they were speaking of me,
believing correctly that I was the main
purpose of their mission.
  When Thao stopped, the questions streamed
forth, and two other astronauts joined the
group. The discussion swelled and developed
a tone of increased excitement.
  Not understanding a word of what was
being said, and having noticed on entering
three people positioned in front of screens
displaying 3-dimensional images, more or
less vividly colored, I approached to discover
that this must certainly be the control room
of the spacecraft. Being invisible made it
even much more interesting since each person
was performing her duties without being
disturbed, or even distracted, by my presence.
  On a screen bigger than the rest, I was
able to discern dots - some larger than
others and some brighter, which moved steadily
and without interruption in their prescribed
directions, several towards the left of the
screen and others towards the right.
  Their speed increased as they grew on the
screen and finally exited from it. Their
colors were often brilliant and extraordinarily
beautiful, ranging from subtle tones to a
blinding yellow, like the light from our sun.
I soon realized that these were the planets
and suns among which we were navigating, and
I was absolutely fascinated by their silent
progression across the screen. I can't say
how long I had been watching them, when
suddenly a strange sound filled the cabin -
a sound which was soft and at the same time,
insistent, and which was accompanied by many
flashing lights.
  The effect was immediate. The astronauts who
had been talking with Thao, now approached
the control post and each took a seat that
seemed to be personally assigned to her.
  Everyone's eyes were fixed attentively on
the screens.
  Right in the middle of these large monitors,
I began to distinguish an enormous mass that
is difficult to describe. Let me say only
that it was round in form and blue-grey in
color. It remained immobile in the center of
each screen.
  In the room, all was silent. The general
attention was focused on three astronauts in
command of oblong-shaped pieces of equipment
resembling in some ways, our computers.
  Suddenly, covering a huge area of what I
believed was a wall of the cabin I was
stupefied to see an image of New York - no!
That's Sydney, I said to myself, and yet the
bridge is different ... was it even a bridge?
  My surprise was such I had to ask Thao, at
whose side I was standing. I had forgotten
however, that I was no longer in my physical
body and no one could hear me. I was able to
hear Thao and others commenting on what they
were seeing but, not understanding their
language, it didn't get me far. I was convinced
though, that Thao had not lied to me and
therefore we had well and truly left Earth
behind. My mentor had explained we were
travelling at several times the speed of light
... and I had seen Saturn pass by and later,
what I took to be planets and suns - so had
we come back, and why?
  Thao spoke aloud and in French, which caused
all heads to turn in her direction.
  "Michel, we are stationed above the planet
Aremo X3 which is almost twice the size of
planet Earth, and as you can see on the screen,
quite similar to your world.
  "I can't explain at any length our current
mission as I am required to participate in
the operation, but I will do so later. To
put you on the right track, I will tell you
that our mission concerns at-mic radiation
such as you know on Earth".
  Everyone seemed preoccupied: each knew
exactly what to do and when to do it. We were
stationary. The large panel projected an
image of the center of a town. The reader
should understand that this large panel was
in fact, no more than an immense television
screen, projecting an image in relief so
real, we could have been looking out the window
of a tall building.
  My attention turned to another smaller
screen being monitored by two of my "hostesses".
On this panel I could see our spacecraft, as
I had already seen it in our parallel universe.
As I watched, I was surprised to see, slightly
below the middle of our vessel, a small sphere
ejected, like an egg from a hen. Once outside,
this sphere accelerated rapidly towards the
planet below.
  As it disappeared from view, another sphere
emerged in the same manner, and then a third.
I noticed each sphere was being monitored on
separate screens by different groups of
astronauts.
  The descent of the spheres could now be easily
followed on the large panel. The distance should
have made them invisible in quite a short time
but they remained in sight and I deduced that
the camera had to have an extraordinarily
powerful "zoom". Indeed, the effect of the zoom
was so strong that the first sphere disappeared
from the right of the panel and the second from
the left. We could now only see the middle one
and followed its descent to the ground quite
clearly. It stopped in the center of an immense
square, situated among apartment buildings.
There it hovered, as though suspended several
meters from the ground. The other spheres were
monitored in the same detail. One was above a
river that flowed through the town, and the
other hovered above a hill, near the city.
  Unexpectedly, the panel projected a new
image. I could now distinctly see the doors of
the apartment buildings, or rather, the
doorways, for where doors should have been,
were gaping openings.
  I remember clearly that, until then, I had not
realized how odd this town was...
  Nothing had moved...
  Ato-ic destruction
  A single word can impart what was being
reflected from the panel: "Desolation". The
street we were observing, piece by piece, was
cluttered with "mounds" generally arranged
one behind the other. Some stood apart while
others lay right in the middle of the openings
to the buildings. Imperceptibly, the camera
zoomed closer and I soon understood that
these "mounds" had to be vehicles - vehicles
that were somewhat similar in shape to
flat-bottomed boats.
  Around me, the astronauts were attending to
their desks. From each sphere emerged a long
tube that descended slowly towards the
surface. When the end of the tube touched the
ground, a little cloud of dust rose, and I
realized that the vehicles too were covered
in a thick blanket of dust, rendering them
formless and unrecognisable. Of course, the
sphere that hovered above the river had its
tube in the water. My attention was now
riveted on the panel, for the scene was
quite fascinating - one had the exact
impression of being in the street.
  My attention was especially drawn to a
darkened place in the entrance of a huge
building. I could have sworn something
moved...
  I also felt there was a certain agitation
among the astronauts. Abruptly, and with a
series of jerks, the "thing" emerged into
the light. I was horrified by what I saw.
As for my "hostesses", apart from some
utterances spoken more quickly, and a few
exclamations in which emotion could be
discerned, I must say that they didn't
really seem surprised. However, what we
were seeing so clearly on the panel was a
horrible cockroach, about two meters long
and 80 centimetres high.
  The reader will certainly have seen, at
one time or another, these nasty little
insects we have on Earth, particularly in
hot climates, living in cupboards and damp
places.
  You will agree that they are loathsome,
but the biggest would be no more than five
centimetres in length. Imagine then, one
with the dimensions I have just described.
It was truly an abomination.
  The tube from the sphere began to retract,
yet was still a meter from the ground when
suddenly, the creature hurried forward to
attack this thing which moved. Untrustingly,
it stopped again, when from under the
building, a veritable swarm of the creatures
emerged, spilling one over the other. Just
then, a ray of intense blue light beamed
from the sphere and swept over the group,
reducing it instantly to carbonised dust.
A cloud of black smoke hid the entrance to
the building from view.

  Here they look through a reddish fog at a planet.
....................................................
....................................................

  My curiosity further aroused, I watched the other
screens, but they indicated no problems. The sphere
from the river was returning towards us, and the
sphere on the hill retracted its tube, moved a
little higher and lowered the tube again, along
with a second cylinder above the sphere. I had
guessed, of course, that the astronauts were
collecting samples of soil, water and air. Being in
Astral body, I couldn't ask Thao any questions; in
any case, she seemed quite busy conferring with
two of the hostesses. The spheres began climbing
towards us and were soon ready to be "reabsorbed"
by our spacecraft.
  When the operation was complete, Thao and the
two astronauts mentioned took their places
opposite their respective desks. Instantly, the
images we received on the panel and screens
changed completely.
  I understood we were leaving when each one
took her place. I observed that all the
astronauts had a similar posture in their
seats, which intrigued me. I later learned
that a force field restrained them exactly
as a security harness would have restrained
a stuntman on Earth.
  The suns illuminated the planet through a
reddish fog. We had left by then, and I
assumed we were following the contour of the
planet, at the same altitude. In fact, we
could see a desert-like area passing by,
dissected by dry riverbeds that sometimes
crossed each other at right angles. It
occurred to me they might be canals, or at
least had been man made.
  The panel revealed images of a town
apparently intact, then it disappeared and
the screen went blank. The vessel had
obviously gained speed in flying over the
planet, as the images on the smaller
screens, showing a lake or inland sea,
flashed by quickly. Suddenly, several
exclamations were heard and we immediately
slowed down. The panel was turned on and
presented a close-up of the lake. We
stopped.
  We could clearly see a portion of the
coast and, beyond some large rocks by the
lake, we could make out cube-like structures
which I imagined to be habitations. As
soon as we had stopped, the spheres began
their operations again, just as they had
earlier.

Part 5 of 5.

John Winston.  johnfw@mlode.com

Subject: A Long Time Ago.                  Feb. 29, 2008.

  This should be part 6 of the material but we will
call it Part 1 of the second of the site of this
material.
  This talks about ants the size of cows.

.........................................................
.........................................................

  part2 of the material:
  We received some excellent shots taken from one
of the spheres that hovered above the beach at a height
I judged to be 40 to 60 meters from the ground. Its tube
extended right to the shore. Very clearly, it
transmitted a scene of a group of human beings... Indeed,
at first sight, they were identical to people found on
Earth.
  We had a very close view. In the middle of the panel
appeared the face of a woman of uncertain age. She had
brown skin, with long black hair that fell to her
b-easts. As we could see on another screen, she was
quite n-ked. Only her face appeared to be deformed
- she was Mongoloid.
  When I saw her, I didn't realize she was deformed,
I simply assumed we had to contend with a r-ce of
humans only slightly different from our own - as
science fiction writers like to describe them - all
twisted, with big ears or such like. Still, we had
other shots and, in this group, the men and women
seemed to resemble the Polynesian ra-e.
  It was, however, obvious that more than half of
these people were either deformed or eaten away by
what appeared to be leprosy.
  They were looking towards the sphere and
gesticulating, appearing to be greatly agitated.
Many more were emerging from the cubic constructions
which proved to be their habitations, and on which I
will elaborate a little.
  These structures closely resembled the
"blockhaus" of the Second World W-r, to which
had been added very thick chimneys (installed,
I supposed, for the ventilation of the
buildings) which only seemed to rise about
one meter above the ground. These blockhaus
were all built with the same orientation and
the people emerging from them, did so by
openings on the sides which were in shadow...
  Without warning, I felt myself drawn
backwards away from the panel.
  Rapidly, I passed through several partitions
until I found myself once again, in the cabin
where my physical being lay stretched out on
the bunk, just as I had left it.
  Instantly, everything was completely black.
How well I remember the unpleasant sensation
that followed! My limbs felt like lead and
when I tried to move them, it was as if I
was paralysed. I could not understand what
prevented me from moving. I must confess I
panicked a little and wished with all my
heart that I might leave my physical body
again, but I couldn't do that either.
  I don't know how much time elapsed before
the cabin gradually became suffused with the
most restful blue-green light. Finally Thao
entered, wearing a different suit.
  "I am sorry to have made you wait, Michel,
but just as your physical body recalled you,
it was impossible for me to come and help
you."
  "Don't apologise, I understand perfectly,"
I interrupted, "but I believe I have a problem
- I can't move. I'm sure something in me is
disconnected."
  She smiled and put her hand just beside
mine, undoubtedly operating a control
mechanism, and immediately I was freed.
  "Again, a thousand apologies, Michel. I
should have pointed out to you the spot
where the control cell for the security
harness is found.
  All the seats, beds or bunks are
equipped with them, and they are automatically
activated when occupied if there is the least
possibility of danger.
  "When the vessel arrives in a dangerous
area, the three security computers cause the
closing of the force fields, to use their
proper name. When the danger has passed they
automatically release them.
  "At the same time, if we do want to be
released in a zone deemed dangerous, or even
if we simply want to change position, we
have only to pass a hand or just a finger in
front of the cell and the force field is
immediately neutralised. When we return to our
seats, we will be automatically restrained
again.
  "Now, I'm going to ask you to go and change
- I'l show you where.
  In the room, you will see an open trunk where
you can put your clothes - in fact, all that
you are wearing apart from the glasses. You'll
find a suit there, which you are to put on
before meeting me back here."
  Thao bent down and taking my hand, she
helped me up. I was really quite stiff. I went
into the small room she had pointed out,
undressed completely and put on the suit,
which fitted me perfectly. This was surprising,
given that, in spite of my 178 centimetres in
height, I was a dwarf compared with my
hostesses.
  A short time later, back in the cabin, Thao
handed me something in the form of a bracelet,
which was actually a pair of enormous glasses.
  A little like motorcycle goggles, they were
strongly tinted. At her request, I put them on,
but to do so, I was obliged to remove my own
glasses, as they would have been crushed by
this larger pair. They fitted exactly into the
shape of my eye sockets.
  "A last precaution," she said.
  Lifting her hand towards the partition, she
in some way released a certain mechanism, for
the intense light reappeared and I felt the
intensity in spite of the strong glasses. I
was again aware of the current of cool air.
  The lights went out. The air current could
no longer be felt, but Thao did not move,
appearing to be waiting for something.
Eventually a voice was heard and she removed
my large tinted glasses. I replaced them
with my own and she asked that I follow her.
We took the same route as when I followed
her in Astral body, and we found ourselves
again, in the command room.
(from page 18 Thiaoouba Prophecy)
  One of the older astronauts (I say older
but perhaps I should instead say "more
serious" as they all appeared to be about
the same age) signalled briefly to Thao
who took me to a seat in front of the panel
and asked that I stay there. She quickly
rejoined her colleague and I realized
they were very busy.
  As for me, I began checking whether I
could in fact free myself from the force
field. As soon as I sat down, I was
effectively plastered to my seat - a
feeling I did not like at all.
  Moving my hand slightly, I found I
was immediately liberated for as long
as my hand remained in front of the cell.
  The panel relayed an image of about 500
people standing on the shore and quite
near the "blockhaus". Thanks to the
close-ups possible with our cameras, we
had an excellent view of these people, who
were quite na-ed, from the oldest down to
the youngest. Again, I could see many of
them were either deformed or sporting ugly
wounds. They were all gesturing towards
the spheres taking sand and soil samples,
but no one approached. The strongest
looking men were holding what appeared to
be machetes or sabres. They seemed to be
watching something.
  I felt pressure on my shoulder and turned
round, surprised. It was Thao. She smiled
at me and I clearly remember appreciating,
for the first time, the beauty and
nobility of her face.
  I have already mentioned her hair, which
was long and silky, golden-blond in color,
which fell to her shoulders and framed a face
that was perfectly oval in shape. She had a
large, slightly protrudingforehead.
  Her blue-mauve eyes and long curled lashes
would have been the envy of many women on our
planet. Her eyebrows curved upwards, similar
to the wings of a seagull, adding a unique
charm. Under her eyes, which sparkled and
sometimes teased, was her nose,
well-proportioned and slightly flat at the
bottom, which accentuated a s-nsual mouth.
  When she smiled, she revealed perfect teeth
- so perfect, one could believe they were
false. (This would have surprised me.) The
chin, well-shaped but slightly angular,
suggested a wilful determination that was
somewhat masculine, but this did not detract
from its charm. A faint shadow of hair above
her upper lip could have spoiled this perfect
face, were it not blond.
  "I see you already know how to free yourself
from the force field, Michel."
  I was about to reply, when an almost general
exclamation made us turn our eyes to the panel.
  The people on the beach were surging back
en masse towards the habitations and dived
inside in one big rush, while a line of men
had been formed armed with sabres or picks,
facing the most incredible "thing" I could
ever have imagined.
  A group of red ants, each the size of a cow,
were rushing from behind the rocks onto the
beach. They moved quicker than horses in
gallop.
  The armed men kept glancing behind, as if
to compare the speed at which the people
scrambled to safety, with the advance of the
ants.
  Already, the latter were near - too near...
The men faced them bravely as, with only a
second's hesitation, the first beast attacked.
We could distinguish the mandibles clearly -
each the size of a man's arm. At first, the
creature feigned, enabling the man to strike
with his sabre, but he slashed only air.
  Immediately, the mandibles encircled his
waist, severing him cleanly in two. Another
pair of ants helped the first to shred him,
while the rest launched their assault on
the fleeing combatants, gaining rapidly on
them - too rapidly...
  From the sphere, an electric-blue beam of
unbearable intensity shot out, just as the
ants were upon the men. The creatures were
struck d-ad, one after the other, with
amazing precision and effectiveness.
  Curls of smoke rose from the burnt flesh
of the animals strewn over the ground, their
enormous legs convulsing in a last spasm.
  The beam continued its devastation among
the ants, instantly and systematically
annihilating the giant insects. They must
have known instinctively that they could not
match this almost supernatural force and
fled in retreat.
