‘It was also agreed that, in the meantime, steps would be taken to correct the environmental condition of your planet with our advice and technology. We say advice, because we respect the fact that this is your planet, not ours. Your gov- ernment also broke this agreement.’ When your own government's policy is to say 'You're just plain crazy’, it only deepens the pain. "But this is a time when intelligence should rule over emotions. So L asked, "How do I fit in all this? What can I possibly do?’ ‘What you are doing already. We will share much more knowledge with you in the future. Although you understand a lot, we will show you much more. Continue to work with people that come to you. We are aware of the small groups that are forming around the world. These are people who are prepared to learn and we consider them the core. Most important is the condition of your planet. The first step in solving this serious problem is amnesty. We have advice. You will receive more knowledge in the near future.’ "I felt an awful emotion of abandonment from these aliens. They are different. I never sensed true emotion from the other aliens before. But the feeling wasn't at all good. It felt like great loss. I couldn't help asking, 'You aren't giving up on us, are you?’ "There was a long pause of silence and I had a strong feeling of tremendous loss. So I asked again, ‘Well, are you?’ There was another long pause. "Then finally: "No. We are now concentrating our energy on the average "As this was going on, it started to rain.

"Your government also broke this agreement." "Now I can't believe how stupid that request was. I had, in the flesh, face to face, probably some of the most intelligent creatures from the far reaches of the galaxy, with answers that have been plaguing mankind since the dawn of time. And what did I say? ‘Could you wave at me?’ "The strangest thing started to take place. A spinning white light with a hint of green began to radiate over their faces and upper bodies, all dozen of them. The intensity of the light slowly got brighter and it was radiating from no direct or detectable source. I could see they were huge. Their upper torso was strong, with huge shoulders and a thick, strong neck like football line- backers. As the light became brighter and details clearer, fear and shock zapped through me. "T said, "You have scales!' Their faces looked like a cross between a lizard and a snake—nothing at all like the little grey guys. Their eyes were small like ours, only diamond-shaped, and the pupils were a red colour. Their heads were in normal propor- tion with their bodies, but bigger than ours. The skull looked like their brains stuck out over their foreheads, covered by skin. This feature was slightly different among all dozen of them. "I said in a scared whimper, "You promised to wave.’ And each and every one of them slowly lifted their arms and waved in front of their faces. Their hands were huge with thick, club-like fin- gers, too thick to work fine instruments. But you have to keep in mind that their technology is thought-activated. "T stood there and stared at them for a while in silence, absorb- ing this spectacular sight. Their message kept running through ‘Those in power view it [technology for clean energy and abundant food] as a military and security threat." "Then I got angry as hell and said, 'You mean to tell me our people in power have the ability to save and better this planet and they aren't doing it?!’ The thought that technology was being held back from the public because of paranoia and greed outraged me, and the aliens saw my anger. But was it true? ‘Amnesty.’ "What do you mean?" ‘Complete amnesty. To those in power, the governments and the leaders who have been suppressing the truth. They can't be held liable for any past wrong deeds. It is the only way these leaders can come forward with the truth. It is necessary that you do this in order to work together and survive." "There was silence for a while, as if they wanted me to think about what was just said. This was a hard truth to swallow. If anybody had a good reason to hate their government for covering up this information, it was me and others like me. Most abductees still consider themselves victims who constantly suffer ridicule.
