114 REVELATIONS Wendelle Stevens has now brought out a multivolume set called Con- tact from Planet UMMO in which Antonio Ribera had assembled most of the documents disseminated in Spain. Neither one of the authors offers a critical analysis of the material. Colonel Stevens has been busy promoting the book in lectures and interviews. Thus, after discussing UFOs on the Open Line show of the Los Angeles ABC affiliate in November 1982, he was asked by show host Bill Jenkins if he had any special words to close the program. Stevens pulled out a recent statement sent by the UMMO source to Ribera, which read in part: You are like children playing with terrible’ and dangerous toys which will destroy you, we can do nothing! A cosmic law says that each world must make its own path, to survive or to perish. You have chosen the second. You are destroying your planet ... As your elder brothers in this cosmos, we urgently desire with all our hearts your salvation. Do not destroy your beautiful blue planet, a rare atmospheric world that floats so majestically in space, so full of life. It is your choice. Again, the message was an obvious contradiction. If there is a cosmic law for each world to "make its own path," a law preventing the aliens from warning or saving us, as the UMMO documents often state, they have no business telling us what to do over the Los Angeles airwaves! But the human mind ignores such contradictions. It takes seriously a message alleged to be from a dubious planet and brought to us by an unreliable channel, although the same message has been ignored when it was voiced by numerous respected biologists, philosophers, and re- sponsible political leaders of our own human race. Somehow, placing the message in the realm of higher spiritual entities ("our elder broth- ers") makes it all right to promote a massive behavioral change. The reaction to the broadcast was immediate. The station was flooded with calls. Hundreds of people requested copies of the message, all over southern California. The station had to read it on the air again
