CASE THREE: "There's going to be a rebellion." by Preston Dennett

During my research into the UFO wave over Topanga Canyon, California (see UFOs
Over Topanga Canyon, Llewellyn, 1999), I uncovered several cases involving
face-to-face extraterrestrial encounters. Again, in most cases, the aliens
either didn't speak or said only, "Do not be afraid; we won't hurt you."

However, in a few cases, messages were given. One case is that of the Martin
family. It was Sarah Martin, the mother, who actually spoke with the
extraterrestrials.

Sarah Martin's encounters occurred during the peak of the UFO wave and involved
several close-up sightings and at least one onboard encounter. Sarah recalls
being inside a small circular room surrounded by small robed figures.

Says Sarah, "To be honest with you, I can't remember their faces. I just
remember talking to them...and they were talking to me. And this is what they
said: 'Why are you so involved in this [Ross Perot] campaign? Why are you
wasting your time? It's going to fall apart, one by one, and whoever wins, it
doesn't matter because the whole system is going to come down around everybody.
There's going to be a rebellion. And you're not a part of this, so don't get
involved."'

At the time, Sarah was heavily involved in the Ross Perot presidential campaign.
After the experience, she dropped all her political activities. Says Sarah,
"This was so incredible. In my mind, I keep going over again what they said:
'You're not a part of this, so don't be a part o it. Get away from all of
it.'...The other thing too is some thing about an earthquake, a big earthquake.
Something like that...but the thing that stuck out the most was, 'Why are you so
involved? Why are you letting this consume your time? It's not worth it, and
it's all going to fall apart."

A few years later, the devastating Northridge earth quake struck, destroying
several homes in Topanga Canyon.
