Rafael Farriols, who has now become the leading specialist in the world on the Ummo question, still has in his files the original paper bearing this important declaration. This, plus the fact that the craft which performed evolutions in the sky over the Madrid suburban estate of San Jose de Valderas and landed briefly in the estate of Santa Mo'nica on the day in question - june 10, 1967 - displayed upon its belly a symbol most closely resembling the emblem used to "authenticate" the Ummo documents, establishes between both these sets of events a link which Fernando Sesma and the "reports" Using the dozens of reports which he had received from 1965 onwards, Professor Sesma published, in 1967, a book entided Ummo, Otro Planeta Habitado. The fact that it should have been Fernando Sesma who first divulged the disconcerting Ummo affair in printed form did not exactly contribute towards conferring a character of verisimilitude upon the business. Far be it for me to wish to reproach Fernando Sesma, but what is absolutely certain about him is that he has the reputation of being a man of fantasy given to speculations without much real basis, already expounded by him in earlier articles and books, such as the one entitled: Sensational!! The Extraterrestrials Speak: (Rereistions and teachings from men of Other Planets also pu blished by Editorial Espejo. The result of all this was that the public held Sesma's little book on "Ummo" to be a product of pure fantasy from Sesmas own head. Yet the fact remain that, as farrals and I were later able to verify, Sesma merely confused himself to reproducing the reports and the drawings (some of these truly very curious) that he had been receiving from the "Ummites". That this was so was proved by Farriols, without leaving any room for doubt when, on one of his recent visits to Madrid, lie managed to get Sesma to hand over to him all the precious originals, a whole bulky trunk suitcase fall of them. Sesma admitted to Farriols that the "Ummites" had now ceased to interest him much, since they represented an excessively technological civilization. His present preferences, he explained, were inclined towards the inhabitants of Auco, a planet which so he, Sesma, explained, was on a much higher spiritual plane. 13 would seem to be indissoluble .
