STRIP TEASE human race. 101 revelations, notably psychiatrist Carles Berche Cruz and researcher Ignacio Cabria Garcia, have noticed some indications pointing to cer- tain individuals as primary suspects: Jose Luis Jordan Pena, one of the witnesses at Aluche and prominent member of the Sesma group; Fer- nando Sesma himself, who had previously published booklets on space contacts using terminology very similar to that of the UMMO docu- ments; an engineer named Enrique Villagrasa, also an early member of Sesma's inner circle; and Rafael Farriols, the most prolific compiler of UMMO documents. But they did not find any smoking gun. The perpetrator of such a misdemeanor must have a motive. Is UMMO the private joke of a group of Spanish engineers? Is it a psychological warfare exercise, as some French analysts suspect? Or is the truth more complex, rooted in a social reality where the ideas and symbols of UMMO have acquired a life of their own, their special mythology, and a set of beliefs that feed on themselves? We can at least be certain of one thing: the UMMO documents do not come from advanced beings trying to demonstrate their existence to us. But try to explain it to their disciples! Very few UFO believers, and even fewer of their New Age counterparts, have any formal training in science. They are easily awed by any document that contains a few equations and a numerical system of base 12. Yet if they had some awareness of modern technology, they would realize how easy it should be for an advanced race to prove its genuine skill to a society like the After reading the masses of documents purportedly coming from the planet UMMO, I asked myself: if I had the opportunity to communi- cate with intelligent beings of an earlier time, such as the high priests of Egypt, how would I establish a meaningful dialogue? I certainly would not insult them by sending a letter beginning with "We are aware of the transcendence of what we are about to tell you"—espe- cially if I had an imperfect command of hieroglyphics! Instead, I would concentrate on a few points of valuable, verifiable information. Since the Egyptians already knew how to make electrical batteries and were aware of the magnetic properties of certain minerals, I would send them a simple set of instructions to make a coil and a compass. I could explain
