100 are lying to me just like they are lying to other people. | just don’t think this is the case with all alien types I’ve encountered. | would want to think that at least one group is trying to help instead of harm and deceive me. “I've learned to wash my hands of blind faith and am now beginning to use my God-given reasoning faculties and extreme caution, reasoning, and prayer in deciding how | should respond to the aliens,” Angie said. “| am a human being, and we humans do have feelings and rights!” Back to Contents IX - Amy Of all the contacts | received after INTO THE FRINGE was released, Amy’s first letter was the most compelling. She wrote, as she explained, because it was the only way to get free of a compulsion that had begun in November 1992, after an extraordinary dream. The following week, she bought and read my book, and then began the compulsion to write me and share the dream. Amy, however, as | would find out, has a strong sense of independence, self-control, logic, skepticism, and an admirable stubbornness. She resisted the “ridiculous” compulsion for several months, but by April she was ready to get it out of her system and reasoned that writing the letter would end it. In the first part, Amy described some unusual events that corresponded with things | related in INTO THE FRINGE. These included odd phone behavior, which she humorously attributed to “The Phantom of the Opera-tor,” and unexplained electrical problems and noises in the house. None of the unusual experiences were attributed to alien activity, a glaring absence in comparison to the other contacts I’d gotten. But then she began to describe the dream. In the first scene, Amy and her daughters were in a campground where “huge tarantulas” chased them. They got in the car and drove away, but the car started flying upward, over the trees, where she saw a huge moon. “In front of the moon,” she wrote, “I saw the silhouettes of some small, thin beings. They had big heads like the aliens I’ve heard about, and they were moving about in front of the moon or light that glowed behind them. One turned and looked at me, and | saw large, black eyes. | wasn’t afraid of him. | thought, Well, I've never actually seen one of them- now | know what they look like.” She heard a loud noise approaching, and then she flew onto a metal-roofed house. “| knew the metal might be hot,” she noted, “so | knew not to touch it.” Amy was on the second story, where she looked through “large windows” into one of the rooms. There she saw a group of men talking excitedly and heard a softer, female, voice telling them to “calm down because there was work to do.” The men looked human, but the female was part of “a group of non-Earth representatives.” When she was brought into the room, she said, “The humans introduced me to a female alien wearing a white plastic mask so that her appearance would not frighten the others and so they wouldn't focus on her eyes. Even though she wore a mask, | could see her eyes through the holes in the mask. They were big, black eyes. From that point on, | remember being right next to her, and her face stayed very close to my face... very intense!” The first part in the campground was either a natural dream or a screened sequence, but the illusory force rapidly disappeared as she moved from the campground to the room in
