switching to! Even if Mr R. had told the other operator that he was going to switch to 160 metres, still they would not have found him on that band until after the question had been asked. And of course, they couldn't have answered the question if they hadn't heard itl Williamson spent a lot of time probing around the ancient ruins of South America before he suddenly vanished without a trace in the early 1960s. audience: The entities of the spaceships and saucers can and do read the mind of a radio operator, exchanging communications. They know when he is several yards from his set and will give him time to reach it before they signal... In one case involving something in the nature of mind reading at a distance, these entities gave the answer to a discussion going on in a room and not taken up or referred to on the radio. Quite a few amateur radio operators have joined the ranks of the UFO contactees in recent years, perhaps because all night they sit surrounded by equipment radiating powerful magnetic fields which can somehow be utilized by the phenomena. On August 3rd, 1958, ham operators throughout the United States reportedly picked up a strange broadcast on the seventy-five-metre international band. A male voice claiming to be 'Nacoma from the planet Jupiter’ warned his listeners that the atomic bomb tests could lead to disaster. He spoke for two-and-a-half hours in English, German, Norwegian and his own language, described as kind of musical jibberish. ‘It was the most powerful signal ever picked up,' one account said. There was plenty of time during the broadcast for hundreds to listen in, and radio operators called in friends and neighbours and phoned long distance to relatives in other states.’ The far-off, far-out planet of Korendor checked in on a warm night in July 1961. An eighteen- year-old radio buff, Bob Renaud. was "browsing around the shortwave bands' in his home in a little town in Massachusetts, when 'suddenly from the loudspeaker came a very high pitched beep-beep-beep'. He was annoyed by it, he said, and tried unsuccessfully to tune it out. 'Tt stopped,* he wrote later, "but was replaced by a soft, warm, crystal clear feminine voice that said, "Bob, we'd like you to stay on this frequency for a while."’ This space lady identified herself as linn-Erri (like the demons and angels of yesteryear, the space people are fond of names containing double letters). Over the months that followed she dictated endless treatises on what was wrong with us and what was right with her world. The Renaud story quickly fell into the pattern of all the earlier contactees. At 2 a.m.on the momingof December 22nd, 1962,a car drove up in front of his house, according to his story, and three rather normal looking men invited him to hop in. They drove him to ay isolated field where they demonstrated an antigravity device which lifted a huge boulder a hundred feet in the air. Then At a flying saucer buffs' convention in Giant Rock, California, in 1954 one speaker informed the The Federal Communications Commission later denied any knowledge of the broadcast.
