ceptibly to shift "tone" in reaction to this type of change in her, like nothing so much as...a mood ring. "They don't evolve—they're especially created just for their function, they're what we'd consider 'angelic' types of being—they're endowed to be just one way and to 'do' one thing—that's why in a lot of ways they seem so...mechanical to us." "Did they actually express this to you?" "No. But from their own self—characterization, they fit the Biblical definition of the 'angelic' pattern, you know, the hierarchy of creative beings and supervising principles that are fashioned from the beginning to function within a certain static framework in order to keep everything 'on + won keel'..." This, then, was probably what MT sensed in Bob's scarcely detectable reaction—indeed it would occur every time the subjectmatter suggested some interpretive confirmation from the Bible. Betty was, after all, Protestant—fundamentalist—this indeed was ultimately considered one of the virtues of her particular "witnessing" to these peregrine presences, since the absence of interpretive sophistication in her case eliminated most means for her to have made up such bizarre and "futuristic" material as she was disgorging by regres— sion; yet it was also apparent that the "mood ring" change in Bob's subsurface demeanor was almost a galvanicskin-response of involuntary sensitivity which by now they both must share, in subliminal anticipation of the response of "querulous others" when Betty would inevitably bring in the Biblical form of hermeneutics wherewith to unlock this refractory subject—matter. Indeed they'd confirm, later on in the conversation, that this aspect of the "Andreasson case" was precisely what the investigators involved as well as the publishers participating, specifically asked to be bottled, effectually suppressed so as not to "prejudice public opinion" against such an other— wise—persuasive abduction saga. This effectual "pact" to throttle Betty's fundamentalism publicly, was in many respects just unfortunate. MT would have opportunity to notice some extremely important things in the course of this confidentiality where Betty was encouraged to loosen into conversational comfort with the things she personally had felt, figured—out and concluded during the stretch of all these ongoing years—of—abduction (beginning indeed in 1944—-MTs birthyear—when at the age of 7 Betty was first accosted by a "tinkerbell" orb of intelligent light in the woods beyond her home). 135 T-Bird_Vs_The_Flying_saucers.htm
