they pointed another gadget at it, and it disintegrated in a Dash. later they conducted him on a tour of a secret underground UFO base in Massachusetts and even took him for a little faunt in a flying saucer. Following the Korendians' instructions, Renaud claims he rebuilt a TV set so that he could receive outer space TV shows. When linn-Erri's face appeared on the screen, she turned out to be a beautiful blonde, 37-22-26. She appeared to be eighteen or nineteen years old but admitted to being seventy-four 'which in our society is the prime of life*. (Renaud's TV set probably operates on the same nonprindple employed by the celebrated Psionic Machine of Thomas G. Heir-cnymous which was promoted by Astounding Science Fiction for some years. If the parts are removed from, the Psionic Machine, it continues to work anyway because it apparently operates on some psychic force, like Ouija boards and dowsing rods do.) Another ham radio operator was swallowed up by the contactee phenomenon on January 30th, 1965. Towards midnight on January 29th George M. Clemins, mayor of Monterey, California, and several other people reportedly saw a brilliantly illuminated spherical object hovering over Monterey Bay. It appeared to slowly descend out of sight on the other side of the bay. Two hours later a forty-five-year-old TV repairman named Sidney Padrick shut down his ham radio rig and decided to take a stroll before going to sleep. On Manresa Beach directly opposite Monterey he heard a loud humming noise and saw a strange machine shaped like 'two real thick saucers in- verted.' He was none too happy about this apparition, he admitted, and so he turned and started to run away. ‘Do not be frightened," a voice reportedly boomed from the object "We are-not hostile.’ Mr Padrick kept running. *We mean you no harm. You are welcome to come aboard." Padrick stopped and considered, feeling slightly bewildered and foolish. A door slid open, he said, and he cautiously approached it. The voice urged him on. He stepped into a small room about six by seven feet, where he was greeted by a medium-sized man with very pale skin. He had, Padrick noted, a very sharp nose and chin and unusually long fingers. 'His hands were very clean. The fingernails looked as if somebody had just given them a manicure.’ Padrick said: They wore two-piece suits with no buttons or zippers that I could see. The bottom section actually included shoes - it looked like boots which continued on up to the waistline without any break around the ankles, just like a child's snowsuit. They had soles and heels similar to ours -I could hear them walking with a "thump-thump" sound on the rubberylike floor. The collar had a very pretty design on it - it came down to a V in the front, and the neckpiece, right around his neck, had a braid of some kind on it, very pretty. It had colours, but I can't tell you what they were, because they weren't colours that I had ever seen before... much more beautiful than ours. When Padrick asked for the man's name, he was told, "You may call me Zeeno.' Although the witness didn't know it, the Greek word for stranger (xeno) is pronounced zee-no. Being a technician, Padrick was able to supply a detailed description of the interior of the craft and was nonplussed when Mr Zeeno showed him a room ‘similar to a chapel*.
