puzzled and even fascinated by our capacity for feelings and emotions. I think in a sense they 'observe' our emotional reactions the way a scientist looks at a specimen under a lens. Oh, they do show caring, I think...they don't intentionally cause pain, and when they realize as they occasionally do that their activity has inadvertently caused the subject distress or pain, they immediately do something to relieve or compensate for it." "The kind of 'love' they have though is more—eternal...! don't know, it doesn't fluctuate, it doesn't vacillate with 'mood' the way ours does. It just seems an unemotional, a basically impersonal and permanent thing: like they have this changeless, abiding Love for the planet and all its forms—that's the reason why, in their roles as caretakers, they're currently engaged in collecting specimens of all life-forms on the planet, salvaging every class and type of development imaginable and taking them offplanet, into space where they can be preserved and used as seed—forms on other worlds of similar composition..." "Yes," Bob (Betty's husband) interjected, "they're conducting quite a Noah's Ark project; they've indicated they must perform this act of salvaging because the adverse environmental conditions on the Earth are rapidly causing many vital types and species to become extinct." "That's right. In fact, one of their most important disclosures made to me, I believe," Betty continued, "is that the human race— according to their ongoing testing—is in imminent danger of becoming completely sterile from all the radiation—leakage and ultraviolet bombardment." Indeed, MT had read this testimony already in "The Watchers“; it was one of the major and "astonishing" revelations which the book's author, researcher and now fellow—abductee Raymond Fowler, promised on the dust—jacket would—once read—shake our human credulity and convictions to the soul. One tended at the time to wonder where the writer had been looking all these years, if indeed this spacedork—disclosure had so rattled Mr. Fowler's sense of creatural orientation; considering everything that is and has been going on, "sterHity" seems one of the more benign possibilities for any long-range sifted outcome (however, in all fairness Mr. Fowler does seem to have a Catholic background—one can excuse and forgive any progeny of nora car wtro \ "Then do you think that these spacebeings might in a certain sense be evolving too, since they seem to be producing these internal changes...?" "Oh no." Betty was quite emphatic at this point; one felt the stern swift rectitude of doctrinal propriety suddenly install itself.
