number of people living in Madrid were contacted by letter and telephone, allegedly by Ummites now living on Earth; the Ummo spaceship. they said, would take some of the humans back with it to Ummo. At 8.20 p.m. on 1 June the spaceship duly appeared. marked with a symbol that had appeared ona thumbprint seal on some of she letters It was photographed by an anonymous witness and, independently by one Antonio Pardo Though broadly similar to us physiologically, there were certain differences - one of the most marked being that their fingers were so sensitive to light and other forms of radiation that they initially found it very awkward to use, for example, lift buttons and electric light switches. Unfortunately, « our ir information about the Ummites i is restricted to what they eae coe have chosen to tell us, so that our knowledge of their affairs is very patchy. Consequently, all we know about the Ummites' first 55 years on Earth is that they acquired a great deal of information about us and established a secure base for themselves. They certainly were not in any hurry to make themselves known, and when they did so it was not to any government but to selected individuals -and even then they did not go out of their way to provide incontrovertible proof as to their supposed identity. They explained the reason for their apparent lack of zeal (iver): Some of you keep saying that we must give you proof. We continue to repeat, until you are tired of hearing, that we are not concerned whether or not you believe us.

Their communications were limited to information about themselves and their planet, their way of life and their culture; all very informative, but nothing that could be verified. But then, in the spring of 1967, the Ummites told three of their contacts that on 5. June an Ummite spacecraft would land just outside Madrid, pick some of them up and take them back to Ummo. They indicated the approximate landing site. The bizarre announcement appeared in the Spanish newspaper Informacsones on 20 May 1967, and several members of the Madrid group went armed with cameras to try to photograph the spacecraft. And on 5 June, at 8.20 p.m., as predicted, an Ummite spacecraft was seen by scores of witnesses. UFO shoot
