Extraterrestrial Contact from Tau Ceti, Venus and Mars

The year was 1920. A young teenager, Albert Coe, was paddling up a river by canoe with a friend in the wilderness of Canada. At one point Albert decided to go exploring an area of wilderness while his friend was elsewhere, when he heard a cry for help.  A young man had fallen into a rocky cleft, pinned and unable to move. Albert used a log and rope to lift him out, and tended to his wounds. He was badly injured and could not walk on his own. Albert noticed that he was wearing a strange silver grey suit, and there was a control panel under his chest. He had been fishing, but when he asked how he got there, the man said he had arrived there by plane, even though there was no runway. He attempted to head back to the plane on his own, but almost stumbled, and Albert insisted that he at least assist him to reach his plane. He finally agreed, as long as he promised to keep their encounter secret and not tell their friend. They headed further into the wilderness. They came before a clearing, and right in front of them was the stranger's "plane" - a silver flying saucer. At this point Albert was a bit shocked, but this other man had lost a lot of blood and was losing consciousness. He told him to swear to secrecy, but all would be explained later. He helped him in, stepped back, and saw the saucer take off.

And so began a very strange friendship with a man who called himself "Xretsim" - which backwards spelled "Mister X."  They would meet and go on fishing and camping trips, or at pre-arranged rendezvous points, and when they could not meet this "Mister X" would send letters as long as he promised to destroy them after he read it. Finally, in 1965, they permitted him to reveal the contacts and he privately published a book of a few hundred copies which he sold at speaking engagements. In the late seventies UFO researcher Wendelle Stevens got in touch with Albert Coe, and republished the work under the title, UFO Contact from Planet Norca.

As is the case with most "contactees," Albert Coe was met with skepticism and ridicule:

"Of course, in some instances, I have been classified as a nut and in the opinion of one commentator, under the influence of a con man for forty-seven years. An eminent scientist considered the book as scientific mumbo-jumbo, designed to confuse; but their memories appear to be very short, as they forget that a few years ago they would have been categorized in the realm of the unbalanced and perhaps their findings condemned as works of the devil." (p. 204)

If true, the case is highly unusual, occurring long before the UFO contactee movement of the 1950s in which flying saucers were regularly in the news, especially after the flyby of UFOs by the White House in 1952. Jet fighters were launched and they could not even approach them. In 1920 no one had ever seen a flying saucer. So it is a hoax? A man misled by a mysterious Mister X? Is it all just "scientific mumbo-jumbo"?

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE ON TAU CETI

In 1967, Albert Coe had absolutely no shred of proof for his story. But it is now 2014. I picked up the book for some light entertainment, but as I read it certain statements began to jump out. When I finished it, my question was not, is this true or not, but rather, how come no one has noticed this? So first, lets cover some verifiable scientific facts, which were not known in 1967.

Mister X (or "Zret," as Albert called him) claimed that he came from the planet Venus, but originally, many thousands of years ago, they had emigrated there from their dying planet Norca, which orbited the star Tau Ceti. So we shall begin there:

"After supper we stretched out in front of the campfire and Zret said, "Tonight I am going to take you on an imaginary journey in a `Norca Ship' that will carry us 20,000 years back in time and far into the great void of space, some seventy million, million miles from our solar system to a planet, once endearing called `Norca', that orbits the star you know as Tau Ceti and in a related story, from the archives of our history, we will relive an incredible saga of a very ancient and highly advanced race of beings, my ancestors, who dwelled on this planet." (p. 114-115)

This was said in 1920, and the book was published in 1967. So how far is Tau Ceti from our solar system? Actually, throughout the years there have been a variety of estimates, as follows (from Wikipedia):

Tau Ceti distance estimates

Source	Parallax, mas	Distance, pc	Distance, ly	Ref.
Woolley et al. (1970)	277 ± 5	3.61+0.07 −0.06	11.77+0.22 −0.21	[20]

Non-trigonometric distance estimates are marked in italic. The best estimate is marked in bold.

So the best estimate for the distance between our solar system is 11.905 light years. So let's do the math. One light year is 5,878,639,984,454 miles, thus 11.905 light years is:

69,985,209,014,922 miles

And this, of course, is almost exactly seventy million, million miles. But in 1970, the estimate was 11.77 light years, which is 69,191,592,617,024 miles. In 1991 the estimate got worse, 11.4 light years, which is 67,016,495,822,776 miles. I am not even sure what the estimate was in 1967, much less in 1920.

Tau Ceti is similar to our Sun, but only 78% of our Sun's mass. From spectral analysis, we also now know that Tau Ceti is metal deficient. This indicates that Tau Ceti is much older than our Sun, so perhaps there was a greater chance for a civilization to evolve to an advanced state there.

Zret described a huge spacecraft that had approached the solar system of Tau Ceti in their ancient history, and provides several details concerning the solar system:

"The disc straight ahead, near the top of the frame, that looks in size like a shiny half dollar, is the seventh or outer planet Ahreeca whose orbital Aphelion is eight hundred twenty-nine million miles and the mean distance of the other six planets graduating down to thirty-seven million miles for Ne-Neeea, the smaller and closest planet to the sun." (p. 155)

"Norca's mean orbit is eighty-five million miles from the sun and is about seven-eights the size of Earth or seven thousand miles in diameter." (p. 156)

"If you watch very closely you will occasionally see four flickers of light, beyond but following its curvature. These are the four moons of Norca, the larger and outer one, a natural moon, similar to your moon and the other three are mechanical bodies, products of man’s brain, that were designed to curtail evaporation by retarding the fast moving molecules that steal away as atmospheric gas; to stimulate moisture and temper the sharp differential of night time cold and heat of the day that become part of a dying planet’s physics, under duress of thinning atmosphere and escape of infra red light." (p. 157)

The reference to artificial moons is interesting. In Extraterrestrial Contact with Koldas, one of the transmissions described the moon Triton orbiting Neptune as an artificial moon. Early observations of Tau Ceti indicated that there was 10 times as much dust in that solar system than ours. However the kicker came on December 19, 2012, when evidence was presented that there were at least 5 planets orbiting Tau Ceti. The planetary characteristics are as follows (see Signals embedded in the radial velocity noise. Periodic variations in the tau Ceti velocities):

The Tau Ceti planetary system

Companion (in order from star)	Mass	Semimajor axis (AU)	Orbital period (days)	Eccentricity	Inclination	Radius

c	3.1 ± 1.40 M⊕	0.195 ± 0.01	35.362 ± 0.1	0.03 ± 0.28	—	—

f	6.67 ± 3.50 M⊕	1.35 ± 0.09	642 ± 37	0.03 ± 0.26	—	—

I checked some exoplanet databases on Tau Ceti (also known as HD 10700), including Exoplanet Data Explorer, the NASA Exoplanet Archive, and The Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia. None of them listed it. Finally I found it in Open Exoplant Catalogue. All planets are listed as "yet to be confirmed." So probably the method used may not be accurate. Tau Ceti was one of the top targets for the Terrestrial Planet Finder, but unfortunately that satellite was cancelled by Congress in 2011.

Returning to the story of Zret, or "Mister X," the closest and smallest planet has an average distance of 37,000,000 miles from Tau Ceti, which is 0.398 AU. This is almost within range of the estimate for Tau Ceti d, which has an average orbit of 0.374 ± 0.02 AU. This would indicate that planets Tau Ceti b and Tau Ceti c are false positives.

What is of interest with this observation are the planets Tau Ceti e and Tau Ceti f. Both are in the habitable zone (from Wikipedia):

Tau Ceti e, appears to orbit about half as far from Tau Ceti as the Earth does from the Sun. With Tau Ceti's luminosity of 52% that of the Sun and a distance from the star of 0.552 AU, the planet would receive 1.71 times as much stellar radiation as Earth does, slightly less than Venus with 1.91 times Earth's. Nevertheless, some research places it within the star's habitable zone. Planetary Habitability Laboratory has calculated that Tau Ceti f, which would receive 28.5% as much starlight as Earth, compared to Mars with 43%, would be narrowly within the habitable zone of the star as well.

So which planet is potentially the planet Norca as described by Mister X?  Norca's mean orbit is said to be 85,000,000 miles or 0.91 AU. This is in between Tau Ceti e and Tau Ceti f. So which is it? I think it is Tau Ceti f. At the edge of habitability zone, Tau Ceti f would tend to have a colder temperature that earth. And indeed this fits Mister X's description of the surface of the planet Norca, as seen from an approaching space craft, beginning from its North Pole:

"The glare of the ice is quite intense but the horizontal curvature is very distinct and in proceeding southward, our altitude and speed will gradually decrease, as objects start to take form, The dark mounds and spears are mountains jutting through glacial fields, the yellowish tinge is mist, rising from melting ice sheets, for the planet is still basking under the influence of a warming trend in this glaciation era. Directly below us now are edges of a receding frozen world and you can see great cascades of pale greenish yellow water tumbling down its sides and gushing from beneath ice field and glacier. The interspersed black rolling waves are storm clouds, pouring out their contingent, in torrential rain squalls; streams, lakes and shallow inland seas are the main pattern of the landscape, but the green of vegetation is becoming evident and then blends into the darker green of the forests. This belt is not too extensive and within four hundred miles we will pass over its ragged border line, that appears as short fingers and peninsulars of fertile soil, with its plant life, protruding into the yellow brown dust, sand and rock of a desolate area that covers the entire equatorial zone, for it has long ago dehydrated." (p. 157)

According to the finding from 2012, here are their relative sizes compared to earth:

According to the finding, Tau Ceti f is too big. However it was said four moons orbit Norca, and if this is true, that could possibly give a larger mass reading for Tau Ceti f. So it is possible that Tau Ceti f is smaller, seven-eighths the size of earth. My educated guess: Tau Ceti f is the planet Norca.

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE ON MARS

Long ago the planet Norca was increasingly becoming uninhabitable, and their scientists did a survey of nearest stars and decided to evacuate what remained of the population on a destination towards Earth, a water bearing world. This expedition, carefully planned over many years, ended with disastrous results. Due to a miscalculation, at the end of their voyage many ships were destroyed, caught in the gravitational pull towards the Sun or Jupiter. One however managed to survive and crash landed on Mars. The description of Mars is rather detailed and surprising:

"...there was water, not overly abundant, with higher atmospheric pressure both to the 'North' and the 'South,' with some plant and small animal life, predominated by the rodent and reptile families, a few specie of fish and millions of insects, but no trace of humanoid form. There were also shallow ice caps at either pole that represented a dormant reservoir to be tapped through engineering technique. The planet did not appear in an exact category of embracing extinction, but rather in the essence of `marking time' in an arrest from natural deterioration. The span duration that it would remain in this state, could not be immediately determined, but at best, it promised no paradise."" (p. 171)

So, there was - and perhaps is - life on Mars. The first successful exploration of Mars took place in July 1965 when Mariner 4 flew by Mars, close to the time when the book was published. It confirmed a desolate landscape at the time, surprising many. However confirmation of water on Mars, plus its polar ice caps, has only recently been confirmed.

At the time of the contact with Albert Coe, Zret said that some of his people were still on Mars, in one or more underground bases.  In 1989 the Russian probe Phobos 2 had taken infrared pictures of an underground city on Mars, as well as caught pictures of a large cylindrical UFO in the vicinity of the moon Phobos before it mysteriously malfunctioned. See The Phobos Incident. NASA, in reality, has more on its mind than just drilling rocks and taking soil samples on Mars. Perhaps more important, the Curiosity mission showed how to deliver large payloads to Mars. The Mars One program may be much further ahead in its program of colonization than we think. There have been whistle blowers that have come forward to that effect.

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE ON VENUS

When Albert Coe met this mysterious Mister X, he said he came from Venus:

"Our home is quite simple to explain and is actually two worlds, one the planet Mars, nearing the end of an evolutionary life and the other planet Venus, younger in evolutionary processes than Earth, but its higher regions are not too drastically different than the environment here. The long and intricate details will have to await future discussion." (p. 68)

We now know that Venus is extremely hot, and cannot support life on its surface. So again, as with Mars, the dwelling is probably underground. But do the "higher regions" of Venus have an earth-like environment? Probes which measured the atmosphere and surface of Venus began in 1970 after the book was published. What we now know is that the upper atmosphere of Venus is indeed earth-like and may support life. From Will We Build Colonies That Float Over Venus:

This idea dates back to the Russians in the 1970s. The surface of Venus is far too hot, and the atmosphere too dense, for Earth life. However, our air is a lifting gas on Venus with about half the lifting power of helium on Eath. A habitat filled with normal air will float high in the dense Venus atmosphere, The atmospheric pressure there is the same as Earth sea level (1 bar). Temperatures are perfect for Earth life too, just over 0°C.
Also, just as weather balloons naturally rise to their operating level high in our atmosphere - and don't need to be engineered to hold in high pressures, so it works in the same way for our habitats on Venus. They float at a level where the pressure is equal inside and out, and can be of light construction. It is arguably the most hospitable region for humanity in our solar system, outside of Earth itself.

Nothing was known of the upper atmosphere of Venus when the book was published. At the beginning of the book there is a quote from a newspaper article in the late 70s where Albert Coe took this statement to mean that they dwelt in the high mountains of Venus. Still today, few people in the public know that the upper atmosphere of Venus is very close to that of Earth.

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE ON DARK MATTER

There is this statement concerning the matter of the universe by "Mister X":

"Electronic survey of cosmic dimension, discloses a magnitude of thousands of millions of ‘light years,’ composing a chaotic cauldron of uncontrolled energy, in unceasing, restless motion and all the galaxies, gradating to the suns and planets, with their complement of inorganic and organic bodies, comprise less than one percent of this energy mass." (p. 83)

Ordinary matter that science knows about, both inorganic and organic, is known as baryonic matter. The above statement is stating that the entire universe is composed of less than 1% of baryonic matter. Current scientific estimates are that 4.9% of the entire universe is baryonic matter; the rest is "dark matter" or "dark energy," as follows:

So when did science make this estimate, that the entire universe is composed of only 4.9% baryonic matter? It was not until 1980 that astronomers determined that galaxies contain more dark matter than ordinary matter.  Anyone can check this. It was not known in 1967, much less in 1920. And even though this was determined in 1980, at the time no one knew how to interpret the data - scientists assumed that there must be some other body of ordinary baryonic matter that we were not seeing. This is still an active area of research in cosmology and particle physics. So it remain to be seen if the current estimate of 4.9% should be less than 1%.

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE ON EVOLUTION

There is much information given on the evolutionary history of the earth, with timelines. I took note of this one:

"By far, the older of these living fossils, is the curious little character that is often tossed up on the beach, as he grubs the bottom, under tide waters for worms. etc., and commonly called the Horseshoe Crab. Actually he is not a crab but a venerable ancestor of the branching Spider clan and reached his peak of evolvement, as he is today, more than two galactic revolutions ago." (p. 89)

At the time "Mister X" estimated that one galactic revolution is about 223 million years, and current estimates are between 225-250 million years. The Horseshoe crab is a marine arthropod which according to modern estimates reached its form 450 million years ago:

The Horseshoe Crab, as said above, is now recognized as the ancient ancestor of the modern terrestrial spider.  But was this known when the book was published?  Horseshoe crabs belong to the modern subphylum of Chelicerata. So when was Chelicerata first recognized as the ancestor of the spider? I checked a journal called Arthropod Relationships, issue 55, which contains the article "The early history and phylogeny of the chelicerates" by J.A. Dunlop and P.A. Selden. It goes into the history of the scientific classification in much detail beginning from the year 1881. Finally found this statement:

"Kraus (1976) argued that Merostomata represented an aquatic grade of chelicerate, rather than a discrete taxon and Bergstrom (1979) further suggested that Arachnida [spiders] could simply represent terrestrial chelicerates." (p. 222)

Thus it was not until 1979 that it was first suggested by scientists that the Horseshoe Crab is the ancestor of the terrestrial spider. However in the 1990s further papers were introduced that cast doubt on this, with research stating that they are one monophyletic group (which is the scientific way of saying, "we do not know which came first"). Research on this is ongoing, and I had to pull out another book Fossil Arachnids, where I found this from research as recent as 2011:

"Traditionally, horseshoe crabs and eurypterids were placed together as the Merostomata... There is now increasing evidence eurypterids are closer to arachnids. ...chasmastaspids muddy the waters by preserving characteristics common with both horseshoe crabs and eurypterids." (p. 18)

There is then discussion of a theory from 2006 that arachnids evolved their lungs once, thus terrestrial spiders share a common ancestor, but the research does not reach a conclusion. Research on this is ongoing based upon molecular phylogenetics (e.g., Regier, 2010), but it is hard to recover as some main lines of the arachnids became extinct long ago. However if one looks at the fossil record, whereas Horseshoe crabs appear 450 million years ago, spiders appear later at 430 million years ago.

A THEORY OF THE UNIVERSAL NUCLEUS

One thing that prevails in the discourse of "Mister X" is discussion of the relationship between the position of a solar system in its rotation around its galaxy and the "Universal Nucleus." At first I thought he was referring to the black hole at the center of each galaxy. But no, he is referring to a "Universal Nucleus" at the center of the universe.  Current theory is that there is no center of the universe due to uniform background cosmic radiation (see Where is the centre of the universe?, and History of the Center of the Universe).  From where we are, everything looks the same everywhere we look, so the conclusion is that there is no center.

So this is completely unconfirmed by our modern science, and I can find no theory that even comes close to this. The "Universal Nucleus," whatever it is, warps magnetic line of force:

"...over long stretches of time, there are fluctuations in galactic spin and orbital velocity, as it often weaves a zig zag course due to pulsation of Nucleus energy flux that warps the magnetic line of force, in which it travels..." (p. 91)

The Universal Nucleus also exerts a force on all solar systems in a galaxy, depending on its position in its rotation around the galactic center, helping in the creation of mountains on a planet at certain times in their history (p. 92). So what is it? There is this later statement:

"To be more specific the Nucleus is a tremendous vehicle of motion, comprising pure energy and at absolute zero. A tremendous energy outpouring gives birth to the electron and proton, at its face and as they are bent into the magnetic lines of force, surrounding the Nucleus, their mating creates the Hydrogen Atoms, foundation blocks of all matter for through a fusion by synthesis, the primal suns are formulated, then suns and planets in the eventual grouping of galaxies. In this action of synthesis and the suns of the galaxies they form, will be found the only ‘Heat' in the Universe. The great ice ages occur in this closer proximity to the Nucleus, because a spiral arm is pulled out to its farthest extreme from the bulk of the galaxy and the average sun is not hot enough to completely offset this direct impact of its icy breath." (p. 115-116)

I read this that the Universal Nucleus is a source of motion, constantly creates matter, and the areas where the galaxy approaches the direction of the Universal Nucleus the systems experience more cold. This reminds me of one theory that is an utter mystery to modern science: Dark Energy. From wikipedia:

"In physical cosmology and astronomy, dark energy is a hypothetical form of energy which permeates all of space and tends to accelerate the expansion of the universe. Dark energy is the most accepted hypothesis to explain the observations since the 1990s indicating that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. ...Two proposed forms for dark energy are the cosmological constant, a constant energy density filling space homogeneously, and scalar fields such as quintessence or moduli, dynamic quantities whose energy density can vary in time and space. Contributions from scalar fields that are constant in space are usually also included in the cosmological constant. The cosmological constant can be formulated to be equivalent to vacuum energy. Scalar fields that do change in space can be difficult to distinguish from a cosmological constant because the change may be extremely slow."

The universe is not just expanding, it it accelerating, and scientists don't know why and just call it "dark energy".  This only came up in the 1990s, and is still a topic of research and debate. Perhaps it is possible that a "Universal Nucleus" at the center of the universe is responsible for this dark energy, pushing galaxies causing an acceleration? It makes sense. If so, dark energy is not uniform, but varies according to galactic motion.

Note that if this theory of the Universal Nucleus is related to the modern theory of Dark Energy, the Universal Nucleus is related to the cosmological constant, which is the value of the energy density in vacuum space. And indeed, "Mister X" does mention the cosmological constant in relation to Albert Einstein:

"...in his theory of a “Cosmological Constant” came upon the core of the riddle. We have long puzzled, as to reason, for abandoning this idea as his, ‘greatest mistake,’ when all mathematical and especially his now, world famous equation, point to this one and only conclusion." (p. 211)

Then later, mentions that the cosmological constant is related to the concept of the Universal Nucleus:

"He seemed unable to put his finger on the "Nucleus."" (p. 212)

And then there is this other description, which may indicate the the Universal Nucleus is causing the acceleration of the galaxies:

"...combining a spectrographic analysis of galactic conformity, with the partial outline of the ‘Nucleus’ on impulse graphs, when carried out in the symmetry of nature, defines a slightly flattened. egg shaped sphere, with the narrow end in the direction that the galaxies are moving." (p. 214)

This is similar to the "cosmic egg" that appears in so many ancient myths. Here is a quote from the Finnish Kalevela:

One egg's lower half transformed

And became the earth below,

And its upper half transmuted

And became the sky above;

From the yolk the sun was made,

Light of day to shine upon us;

From the white the moon was formed,

Light of night to gleam above us;

All the colored brighter bits

Rose to be the stars of heaven

And the darker crumbs changed into

Clouds and cloudlets in the sky.

So as of yet, this theory of the Universal Nucleus is unconfirmed, but seems to be similar to the modern concept of Dark Energy to explain the acceleration of the universe.

The account of Albert Coe with an extraterrestrial from Venus, who claimed they originated from Tau Ceti, has largely been forgotten. At the time there was no scientific knowledge to verify it, and even today some of the statements are in areas of current scientific research. I was quite surprised to find such independent evidence that indicates that this account may in fact be true. How else to explain the knowledge that was not known at the time?

OTHER ENCOUNTERS WITH EXTRATERRESTRIALS FROM TAU CETI

From the above findings, I decided to do a search on other reported encounters of extraterrestrials from Tau Ceti, and the account I uncovered is a bit disturbing. The report first appeared in the Spring 1991 UFO JOURNAL OF FACTS from researcher Frank Crawford. This story originated from a witness under the name of "Oscar" who said he was involved in a UFO crash retrieval while in the military, under the office of the Naval O.S.S. He was contacted from a lead provided by the nuclear physicist and Ufologist, Stanton Friedman. He said he was dispatched to a base in North Dakota, where the saucer was resting on heavy jack stands in a hangar. The following are excerpts of the account from Secrets of the Mojave:

"’The craft had crashed near Phoenix, Arizona and was moved to this North Dakota base. Two dead alien bodies with fatal radiation exposure were found outside the craft. I reflected on my O.S.S. Training for crash retrieval and remembered thinking. ’Why bother, we will never get a chance to be involved in anything that exciting.’ Well, not only was I involved, I was the security team leader. This meant that when the craft was opened I would be the first one inside! After all, one does not send in a high ranking officer or a chief scientist to possibly encounter an alien booby trap or extraterrestrial virus. Come to think of it, the prospects did not excite me either. As Professor Bear prepared his ultrasonic sound generators for opening the craft, my apprehension turned to intensity; after all, this was what my training was for.

"’As ’the Bear’ tuned his equipment the smooth solid metal surface of the craft began to ripple like when you throw a stone in the water. When the ripples seemed to gain harmonic stability the now liquid metal parted in a circular iris-like fashion. As I stepped inside I noticed a fresh pine scent and a strange smoothness to everything. The interior was rounded off and continued with no seams or rivets. It was as if the walls, floor and ceiling were formed out of one piece of metal. Even a table in the center of the craft looked as though it had been pushed up out of the floor. What appeared to be control panels had no knobs, switches or dials. There were strange symbols highlighting these futuristic yet simple consoles.

"’The outside of the craft had no apparent damage yet the interior showed some distortion, possibly from the crash. Next to one of the panels I could see something that would challenge my training and change my perceptions of reality forever. The craft was just another piece of hardware, but seated next to the panel was a human! It’s gender was obviously male. Aside from his unusual dress he could have walked past you at a grocery store and not command much attention. Upon noticing some injuries about his head I instinctively and quickly moved toward him to help. His skin was a bronze color, reminiscent of Mediterranean or South American cultures. His hair was similarly brown and very short in a Roman or crew style cut. The only real difference in appearance from earth humans were that his ears were slightly pointed...

"’He was conscious and in great pain. One leg was partially pinned by the shifting interior. I was examining cuts on his cheek and lip when I first touched him. An overwhelming feeling of compassion came over me as I heard his voice in my head. I could understand him clearly even though his mouth did not move. The communication was strictly telepathic..."

"’I perceived his fear of being harmed and told him that I would not let anyone hurt him. Suddenly, a voice from the doorway refocused my attention on the duties at hand.

"’I called back that we had a live one. The craft filled with gloved and masked medical personnel to help free the occupant. He was quickly carried outside and placed on a gurney. I remarked that he felt heavy for his size and a few others that had assisted agreed. As the alien was whisked off for medical attention, Professor Bear examined the inside of the craft. He found what he thought was a star map depicting the constellation Eridanus and wondered if that might be where the alien was from. After a brief discussion concerning the nature of the communications, Bear asked me to accompany him to the medical lab. As we talked along the way I referred to the alien being as ’Hank.’ The professor asked if that was the name the alien had given me.

"I explained that it was not and that I had chosen that nickname based on it’s native American reference to a ’troubled spirit.’ The professor smiled and said, ’Hank it is,’ and the name seemed to immediately stick. In the antiseptic, impersonal medical room Hank’s discomfort was compounded by his complete undressing. While still in great pain he was examined from head to toe. No stone was left unturned, so to speak. They treated him as if he were a baby of some rare animal species being first born into captivity. It became evident that Hank could not communicate with everyone involved so I was asked to be translator. I had no trouble understanding that the normal anesthetics we were administering had little or no effect. Suddenly, with Hank’s discomfort still a concern, everyone’s attention became divided between the being and a new person arriving on the scene.

"’This new person was obviously important yet seemed to make everyone uneasy. Even Hank recoiled in fear when he came close. He barked a few stern orders and several people, myself included, marched into a nearby conference room. The man introduced himself as Frank Drake and told us he was the head of the operation. The reports would hence forth be titled ’Project OSMA’ (with an ’S’)...’

The researcher Frank Crawford now comments on the account:

"As Oscar told the story that began this article it became obvious that, because of his military background, the name given was for his protection. The account unfolded further to reveal horrible injustices to Hank and to Oscar himself. At the direction of Drake the team conducted medical experiments such as spinal taps, marrow sampling, taking organ specimens and other exploratory surgery on Hank WITHOUT anesthesia. Oscar had spent many hours over three months communicating with and growing close to the alien. One day he stepped between Drake and Hank with his .45 cal. pistol drawn and demanded an end to the torture. Drake withdrew but the next morning Oscar had new orders to depart immediately for Saint Albans Hospital in Radford, Va., where he was incarcerated for debriefing. He remained isolated for several months until the efforts of Lt.(?) Charles Turner, Oscar’s Commanding Officer, got him to move to a psychiatric ward. His family, who had now been out of touch with him for almost three months, was told that Oscar had suffered a head injury during a submarine accident. After spending time under psychiatric care, which would damage his military record, he was oddly enough given an honorable discharge."

So where did this extraterrestrial originate? Frank Crawford commented further:

"The pattern from the panel inside the ship was confirmed by Rapp to match stars of the constellation Eridanus as seen FROM EARTH. It was later confirmed by Hank that the stars of origin of his people were Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani. In later sessions Oscar discussed some reasons for the presence of the aliens. He said THEY DO NOT LIKE THE SITUATION WITH SOME OF THE SMALL GREY ALIENS. He corrected us when we used the term ’grey’ and said that they are actually white. The Tau Cetians feel that the abductions being carried out by some of the Greys ARE A GREAT INJUSTICE TO HUMANITY. ’THEY ARE A PARASITIC RACE THAT HAS AND IS PREYING ON HUMAN CIVILIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE,’Oscar relayed. He added that our government’s involvement with the grays IS VERY DANGEROUS AND OUT OF CONTROL... Oscar is ADAMANT that the bug people are using HUMAN FLUIDS FOR SUSTENANCE. They feed by immersing their arms in vats and/or rubbing the fluids on their bodies. HE CLAIMS THAT THEY ARE ALSO KIDNAPPING CHILDREN..."

Some comments of mine on this account. I had previously discussed some of the testimony of Sergeant Clifford Stone, another military witness who stated that he was involved in UFO crash retrievals, and communicating telepathically to any live occupants. He appeared on the censored Disney documentary on extraterrestrials. The report of a medical experiments on this extraterrestrial without anaesthesia is corroborated somewhat in the blog post The Extraterrestrial Science of Dr. Michael Wolf:

"Dr. Michael Wolf apparently saw autopsy tapes where the alien was strapped to the table, implying that it may have still been alive. This was abhorrent to him, thus the project was initiated to return them home."

As for the report of the small grey aliens, that is corroborated by hundreds of witnesses who have been reporting their abductions to other researchers. In the transmissions as reported in Extraterrestrial Contact with Koldas, they again warned about a hostile race that had been abducting humans. For another account concerning the star system Epsilon Eridani, see Extraterrestrial Contact from Epsilon Eridani and Emanuel Swedenborg. However the big surprise here is the account that the person in charge of the crash retrieval operation was Frank Drake, an astronomer who pioneered project OZMA in 1960, the predecessor to project SETI to search for extraterrestrial life. As it turns out, in 1960 he had decided to focus the attention of the project to two systems: Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani. If one looks at the background of Frank Drake, he received his training on a Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps scholarship. Allegedly the U.S. Navy was in charge of this UFO crash retrieval operation. He is the author of the famed Drake Equation.

MYTHS OF ELVES AND LORD OF THE RINGS

So we have here extraterrestrials from Tau Ceti, who long ago settled Venus and Mars and try to remain anonymous.  This obviously raises more questions than answers here, and I have not been able to cover the full account of Albert Coe's encounter beginning in 1920. So there are human like extraterrestrials, some with pointed ears, who originate from an ice planet orbiting Tau Ceti. I have only concentrated on what we can discover from verifiable facts, as the story is so unbelievable - it is as if I am telling people, Yes, elves really do exist. Yes, Santa Claus is real.  Many children are taught to believe in Santa Claus and it is quite traumatic for them when they are told he is not real. Adults would probably react in the same way if confronted with a real-life elf, whom they thought were only a part of imaginary fairy stories.

The myths of elves originate from old Germanic and Scandinavian countries, areas which have a colder climate.  According to Albert Coe, Mister X looked like someone his age, but he told him in fact he was 304 years older than him. He warned Albert of many dangers that men on earth would face in the future if they should not change their course of action. This reminds me of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, where the race of elves dwell in forests hidden from men, avoiding contact, and live to an extreme long age. Even the elf-queen Galadriel communicated telepathically, and warned Frodo of future things to come:



Towards the end Galadriel reveals that she is also a ring bearer. She says, "This is Nenya, the ring of Adamant, and I am its keeper." Adamant means diamond, and the ring was also known as the Ring of Water. This reminds me of a description that Mister X gave to Albert Coe concerning the solar system of Tau Ceti:

"The disc straight ahead, near the top of the frame, that looks in size like a shiny half dollar, is the seventh or outer planet Ahreeca whose orbital Aphelion is eight hundred twenty-nine million miles and the mean distance of the other six planets graduating down to thirty-seven million miles for Ne-Neeea, the smaller and closest planet to the sun." (p. 155)

Although we call the star "Tau Ceti," it has a more ancient name:

"It has the proper name Durre Menthor, which comes from the Arabic Al Durr' Al-Manthūur (الدرر المنثور), meaning The Scattered Pearls (of the Broken Necklace)."

Strangely, this reminds me of a precognitive dream I had long ago in which this phrase was given: the Eye of Mentar.  After I had that dream I searched high and low for the name meaning of "Mentar" but just could not find it. I covered this dream a while ago in the blog post The Hidden Secret of the Lord of the Rings, in which I traced the name to another word that appears in Lord of the Rings, Meneldor (see also the label "Lord of the Rings" in this blog). This is similar to the name Durre Menthor of Tau Ceti. Certainly, quite a strange coincidence.

Here is a music clip from the movie Oblivion, which has a scene of a man staring at a white cliff of his dead planet:
