some summary:
-contact happened in Brazil in -58. Arthur
Berlet was a man of little formal education,(only 2 years) this in
contrast to the mexican professor that was picked out to have
contact to the "spacewomen LYA" in the early 70ths, who was an
expert on many scientific themes. | link |
AB was born in -31 in the middle of
Sarandi, RioGrande do Sul /Brazil. His family was of German/French
blood. He was tall, bronzed skin, dark brown hair and blue
eyes.
AB here never sold a book on this/tried to
make money or like on his story, and the investigators found no
way to mistrust his descriptions.
But the UFO clubs at that time did not
understand much of interplanetary or inter-dimension travel and
like, so they then as now refused to touch such stories on
contactcases, to other planets as factual or real. He was simply
not believed and all meant he was crazy with such a story. But he
went on to tell of what he had been through, and accepted that
most could not believe him.
All he experienced on this planet - he
wrote down in 14 notebooks. He had not red any science fiction
books before, because he was not any book-reading-man, and he
lived in rural Brazil. But he was well respected by his neighbors
and friends/family.
He always stood by his story, in spite of
all his problems from it. The story had not been published in
English, until WS got it translated and told in the
80ths.
There was much UFO-activity in this area in
those days in the late 50ths, and many saw them, but it was from
this also many rumors.
But some did investigations, and in this
case; Jorge E.M.Geisel, and Carlos de Oliveira Gomes + Rui
Schmidts, who arranged a meeting with Arthur B. in the house of
Carlos, some time after rumors came out of his
adventures.
The men/ Jorge wrote later from
this:
"after 7,5 h of interrogation, we all
were faced with the incredible reality; Berlet had traveled to
another planet and was gone for nine earth days from 14may to
23may-58. We met repeatedly, and never had any reason to doubt the
verbal account of Berlet. There was an impressive seriousness
about him and he never sought to capitalize on his
story."
He was told by his "travel-masters" that he
was brought to planet AKART. It had two artificial "moons" or
satellites or rather "platforms" orbiting in space
nearby.
The abduction
"I was walking on foot on the highway in
the direction of the city of Sarandi, it was already dark, when I
saw this strange and luminous object near the ditch of a farm. I
left the street and went closer to verify what it was, and as I
saw no life near, I went still closer. Within 10m, I saw people
turning a light on me that got me blinded, and I lost
consciousness for half to one hour. Later they found that "the
visitors" were there for collecting grains and vegetables for
experiments, and they judged him to be a farmer.
"The commander decided to take me with
them, despite their laws said not to do so.
'Their ship was ca 30m in diameter, moved
by "solar energy".
Q: what are those people - from Acart -
like?
A: on could say much like us, only more
pallid. All I saw had hair color of straw, but a few had dark
hair. Median stature greater than ours.
They talked in a German tongue, but could
speak many tongues of earth, and had learned it as many similar
races have that observes us, and can be here
undetected.
- they know MUCH about earth!!
- They believe in a Supreme Being.
-Their BIG problem was that of
super-population. And I understand it so that IF the humankind was
to destroy itself- they would repopulate our earth with their
already crowed planet. They had been THROUGH THEIR OWN
atom/nuclear-war-period! They had their own equipment to
clean up here, if any nuclear -war came, but would not
interfere!
- they can stay here on remote places
having stations here
- their ships can remain up to 1 year in
space without resupply of oxygen or alimentation.
- Their armament power was of 2 weapons;
the solar disintegrator, and the solar neutralizer. The last is
employed in medicine and to combat the plagues of
farmers.
- Out of the book page20, it seems as some
of them also ate meat, and just that is rare of the ET visitors,
but those here was not so much in front of Earth's stage, it
seems.
- He said the climate he experienced was
very cold. Their day was 46 h - almost twice of ours. And a year
there had 353days.
- All transport was by air. "…I only saw
vehicles on wheels on a farm and a kind of train - and this was
subterran, automatic- without conductor.
- They had some small "air-ships" for
transport of 2-12 passengers.
- No moon there- but two gigantic
spaceplatforms that orbit the planet, which have thousands of
vehicles stationed on them. He first believed they were natural
moons.
- Their houses and cities were some
similar to here- but the houses seemed to be made of some kind
like, light, laminated steel in div. colors.
More on the happening on
Acart
-out of his notebooks, he made when he
returned, as not to forget from this remarkable
experience.
It began when he was in the local region in
Brazil, where he had made some photographic job, and saw a ship
with dark red light near a farm. A spotlight came on him, and he
lost conscious. When he woke up, he was in a white room, reminding
a hospital, but soon understood he was inside a craft. After some
time he was taken out and saw a city not so different as those of
earth, but the high-houses was of metal in many colours. He was
imprisoned in a room, where he got some food, - meat and bread -
as he was very hungry.
He was then taken into a big meeting room-
where many (seemingly GOVERNMENT-people) looked at him. He saw
pictures of landscapes on the walls. They spoke for 20min
together, and he felt they discussed just him. He though they may
be Russians, and had taken him because he had seen a new
secret weapon. (then they must have looked very
white-earthpeople-like. R.Ø.rem.)
He tried to talk to them in Spanish,
Portuguese, Italian and then German/deutsch. This last they, or
some of them, seemed to understand. (and later he found out that
it was because some of them had been outplaced for some time here
on Earth, to watch/"spy" and learn).
He was then taken to another place, and
they brought him out on the streets, which were crowded by people
walking -but he saw no kind of cars or like. He wore the
cape+ a cap, he had got from them. Nothing then separated him out
from the others.
Suddenly he saw up and saw a lot of crafts
in the sky. One suddenly shot down from above, to a terrace of a
house so quick that he was sure it would crash into it. But it had
seemingly full control.
Later he was advised to a room reminding
more of a hotel room, with bathroom, but from the "shower" came
more like gas than water, because it was so light. He got clothes
from them after the bathing, but felt like a clown in them, as
they were strange, he remarks in his writings.
He was then taken into a new conference
room where another group discussed what seemed to be just HIM! One
of them spoke to him in German, which he did understand. This man
was ca 2m tall! He remarked else a girl of ca 20 there, and all
were so white skinned, as he says it seemed they had been inside
for years, he remarks in his writing! Arthur's own father was
German, and his mother was Portuguese- living in Brasilia. He was
offered a drink, but didn't dare to drink it.
Arthur asked if they were Germans, and
got the answer they were all Acartians! He said his
visit there was almost accidental, nobody having planned to take
any earthlings there, and that he would be brought back within
10days. Neither was they ALLOWED to bring any from Earth to their
planet, so the captain, who did take him from Earth, was punished
for that, he later found out! (had to work in a mine for some time
as punishment)
He was then with them in a new meal, and
they all talked together after the meal, but only one of them was
he able to talk to - in German as mentioned. His name was Acorc.
Their way of greeting/meeting, was not to
shake hands, but place a hand on each others shoulders! For
persons they knew very well, they used both hands!
They underlined they believed in God and
remarked that he, the visitor, was a kind of doubting.
Later he was taken into a smaller
craft/ufo-like thing, with a pilotcabin and wonderful view
outside, and brought to another city - the main city- called CON,
a city so big and marvelous that the earthman was speechless, and
also by all the crafts flying around….so near, but never collided,
as he supposed many times. They looked more like small, flying
camping-trailers in view. He was later told that these ones could
go up to 10.000km/h.
They landed on top of a big house (big roof
as a sportsfield he says…) which was where his host lived with his
family. Well, each flat seemed to have terrace as a personal
landingplatform for those personal flying
"camping-trailers".
Inside he got a demonstration of a kind of
apparatus where his host could talk to a women seeming living
"inside" - it was as a shock for Arthur to view. (Well not so
strange today- now we also have picture-phones, but theirs
seemingly was of 3d kind…remember this was in the late 50ths, when
only primitive black-white TV's was seen rarely in this land.
rø-rem.)
This women was his wife, who soon came in.
She was also quite tall, blue eyes and shoulder -long hair of
straw colour. The child with her was of ca 12 years -their son,
and he was clothed just as he was from our earth, and he was very
curious on the stranger from earth. Both the boy and his mother
also asked questions to Arthur, that Acorc translated. The boy
stayed with them much of the time he was by visit of this family,
in spite of he didn't understand his talking/German, though his
father translated some of it.
Arthur also saw that the furniture in their
day-room, was fixed with the walls…
Then he was shown more of the big city they
were in.
They called the governor ("spiritual ruler"
of their planet,R.Ø.rem) "the son of the sun"
Later he told him of their long ongoing
spacetraffic- most of it to earth, for collecting plants and other
materials.
He gave him this comparison between the
2planets:
One Acartian year is similar to 675 days of
Earth -
One month of Acart is similar 61days, 8 h
of Earth
One Ac. week is similar " 9days 14h of
Earth
One Ac. hour is similar 7h,40min of
Earth
Planet Acart rotates more slowly than
Earth, around itself, so a day-night(døgn) was much longer than
here on E.so the nights/sleeptime were ca 17h
normally!!
Their main purpose for visiting earth
was to try to develop plants for more effective production of
food, and especially wheat, which they seemed to have problems
with "there" according to what they told. They thought
that he was a farmer planting wheat, and that they could learn
some useful from him! They told him they had given him a sort of
narco for him to sleep during most of the trip, lasting some
36hours.
The commander of the ship that had taken
the decision to bring Arthur to Acart, had done this against the
orders of not touch or kill any earthling, neither bring them
off-earth. So he was punished and had to serve a year in mine,
where they took up steel, according to what they told
him.
No countries on Acart
All the planet had for long time been ONE
country or region. He told that ca 100y back - also A had many
countries -hundreds. From that many wars- but a last enough of
them, and they began co-operating and went together into
ONE.
They said they had been observing earth
with equipment and cameras so good that they could take pictures
of a nailhead from 200km up. They captured radio-and TV-programs,
and took all into their computers for help and study. In some 10y
they had learned much of earth- incl. German language. Others had
also learned Russian, Spanish and English he told.
Arthur asked how they could collect all
this, without being seen, and got the answer that they could make
themselves invisible - i.m neutralize the vision.
Some from page55 in the original
book:
"after reaching a height of 200m above the
buildings, we flew in a straight line toward the north for some
two minutes. Suddenly, we stopped abruptly and began to descend.
We descended to a narrow street full of pedestrians
(streetwalkers). The machine hovered near the side of an alley,
where there were also an infinity of people. There we jumped down
and mixed with the multitude. What I felt was unusual about those
people, was that it seemed that nobody was in a hurry, not the
haste that is so peculiar to the great cities on Earth.
idea of those glorious cities on Acart -
but there the buildings themselves radiated
diff.colors
"Another aspect that drew my intention, was
the manner of dress of those people. I never saw anybody
ill-dressed or shabby. Almost all of the men wore clothes more or
less like what I wore, in material as well as design. (page 55 I
old book, 64 in ebook) The small variations were scarcely
noticeable. The dress of the women was in similar style. Another
thing that intrigued me was the fact that none of them paid any
attention to me…"
Arthur remarked also that it was quite cold
when the sun set, but his guide there didn't seem to freeze, but
so did Arthur. He said they had no seasons, same all the time. And
he remarked the sun didn't shine from any blue sky there- more
like cloudy all time. (well, that was the first day, later a
morning he saw the sun rise in clear). Some day later he
experienced this cold after sunset again, but he was SO impressed
by the view of the city at night, that he almost forget the cold.
This when he saw the splendor of the houses -seemed to shine
colors of all kind, but at night those effects were much stronger,
and the sight was very impressive for the earthling.
No money used there - free of that slave
medium
-after another, later, visit to a kind of
cafe - where they had got some warm to drink - Arthur went up to
"cafehost" intending to pay, because he saw his fellowman didn't
pay. It was then he found out that money or "paying" in our way,
do not exist on that planet!
(more on that later)
In the evening, he again got some time for
himself thinking if this could be possible, but rather he "could
not wake up" from any dream either, so it had to be real..…so then
he got a form of panic, when he began thinking all this through.
He also had 2small children of 1-2years back on earth.
Then Acorc came in with a wine -drink he
had made of fruit, which also contained alcohol, and he said that
drinking such was not allowed in public places, only in homes. He
said the government there had converted all the factories that
earlier made harmful things like alcohol- into producing
beneficial matter.
*
Frequent meals
The meals were frequent, and fish was
always on the menu, plus a dark bread - looking like our rye
bread, and he said that their fish and oceans were just similar to
ours here on earth. "Despite all that I had eaten there, it seemed
to me then that I could not weigh even50kilos there" (he was 90kg
on earth). He remarked that they never began a meal, without first
praying and thanking for it. When he went to bed (a very
comfortable) one evening, he came to study his footwear he had
got, and it was a kind of sandal - which description in the book
reminds me of these health-sandal with uneven surface, sole, and
those also had springs inside. But it was very comfortable, as he
says he could hardly feel his feet when walking…
The room he slept in when he was as a guest
by them, had no windows, lying in the centre of the house, and
next morning he woke up, without knowing which hour/time it was.
He put on the local clothes he had got from his host, not to stand
out. He then went out to the terrace, and looked at the radiant,
beautiful city he was in, waiting for his host to
awaken.
Else was Acorc, his host, not sure of how
much he could explain to the visitor, regarding all the details of
life and government.on Acart, until he had been guided by the
authorities/the "son of he sun". The opinions diverged among the
council on this he experienced the following day.
That day he took on his earthly clothes -
before meeting "son of he sun". They went to the balcony where the
flying machine stood, pressed a button, so that the fence went
down, and flew away to the seat of the government.some 60km away.
He then understood that his host didn't live in the centre of the
city, for just that was where they now flew, and landed on the
roof of the government.building, where many similar crafts stood
parked. They went down an elevator to a meetingroom. Arthur saw
that the gathering had big respect for Acorc- his host there. He
told him that the council was of more than 500people, and both of
them were nervous. The house was round, and so was the room they
came into. But one straight wall where a big table + chairs stood
in front of the curved seats in many levels. This council of 9men,
incl. "the son of the sun", was gathered when necessary, and now
the earthman was the first thing to discuss. ."the son of the sun"
was picked out of many thousands, out of his
human-/understanding/wisdom- qualifications. They should discuss
whether Arthur should be returned to earth.
A debate followed where he was
interrogated.
this from the book;
"…we have transformed our planet from a
hell of theft and robbery, lies, usury, speculations and shame, to
a paradise of love, fraternity, understanding and
progress".
The next was that the "son of the sun"
wanted a meeting with this man from Earth:
He himself lived in a flat as most of the
others - no need for a palace with 100rooms. His flat where he
lived with his family, was almost identical to that of Acorc. He
also got to meet the family of the "son on the sun" there. All had
this pallid (blek) colour on skin, almost white. He had a son of
ca 12, and a daughter of ca16, but he felt no attraction to her,
rather opposite. But his wife he found more attractive. He also
got to eat with them, and remarked that nobody talked while
eating.
Then the "son on the sun" told him to write
a narrative of his visit when he came back to earth, but also said
that nobody would belive him those first years, but after some
20years, that would change he said (now it is half a century -
50y- since this occured). They told him that they would show him
much of their planet in the few days he was to stay there, before
being taken back to earth.
After the visit to the "son" he was showed
the marvelous city from the top of the roof, where they had landed
with this flying wagon for this visit.
One of the big differences to Earth he
remarked, was that it was no noice there, only some hum from the
small ships.
All the walking for the people happened on
narrow (because of little space) pedestals, but other transport
happened on subsurface/subways. He said that on this planet they
had 20billion on the same area as on E had 4billions - 5times more
than the density on E. in -1958!!
So a very overpopulated
planet.
Later on that day they flew him very quick
to see around the planet. They flew to a farm, where he was shown
farming in terraces /steps, like those they also some similar use
in rice farming on Earth in the east, but the vegetable they had
"down there" on Acart -that they flew over- were some
similar to potatoes he was told.
The small hill that was made up of these
steps for this cultivating, had steps of 20to100m wide. The
"agri-tractors" were not making any noise, only low hum. He said
it was driven by "solar power" (supposedly
electric.R.Ø.rem.)
The living houses were then placed on
hilly/rocky places, because where it could/was possible to
produce food, it had to be utilized.
insert akartfarming.jpg
Later they flew over flocks of grassing
buffalo-kinds of animals, but these were twice as big, and only
one horn, of half a meter.
As Arthur had not flown on E. it was an
impressive thing to see all this, also from above. They passed big
mountains, and when he later saw pictures of highflying from
earth, he recognized it. But they also flew over a city, which
looked to be ON a mountain! Yes -it was built on just a mountain,
out of the need for space as said before, and up there, they could
not place a farm! In this mountain were also the biggest mines for
solar-steel, so there was also a lot of production going on in or
around this mountain city. "..when
we flew over its centre, its ends were lost from sight, and it was
built completely on top of rocky mountains. There were hills like
the "sugar loaf" in Rio…"
Then they landed in this mountain-city and
ate a meal there, while his host seemed to be well known for those
people. He also then remarked that their custom was to only pray
before eating when in private, home, and where many were gathered,
they prayed inside only instead, out of practical reasons. Ned
s.121
Then he was taken to an enormous factory
where the SOLAR STEEL was treated. He telles it was 0,5x10km in
area!-and so looked like an airfield. "there were thousands of
similar ships there that were flying, hovering and parking. I
asked:"why is it that they only arrive, and almost none are
leaving?" -because it is almost the hour to begin work.
"But, who are those who arrive in those
ships? Are they all workers?"
"-yes, except for some who live near by,
all come by these ships.."
"Are you saying that all who work here are
rich, since one of those ships must be very expensive?"
"-no, they do not cost. And here being an
Acartian citizen and a worker, is enough to have a right to
one.
"I don t understand". - but you will
understand before you return to your Earth.

Then he says that he was not able to
understand the processes he saw in that super-factory; "all what I
saw in that factory, could only be done if I were an engineer,
scientist, designer or other expert." (but he tries to give some
descriptions, and those technical interested -would have a good
time to read all this many details, about this automatic factory
and its production, in the ebook. In that factory they also
produced flying saucers, and he was given an explanation on how
they operate in the atmosphere, and in space. There they also made
laserlike weapons, which made our weapons to nothing, but they
warned against the atombomb - this was the time when the military
arming was very strong.
He also told him some of how the system of
"power" of the ships worked - so this is inserted of a scanning
from page 131 in the ebook.

acartshipengine.jpg
Visit to an astronomic observatory
with also defense use/function.
Then he was taken to atop a mountain, where
he saw a tube/funnel reaching 200m up, and they landed there -but
it was terrible cold, and Arthur said he was very tired at this
time. By way of this equipment, he was shown a view of Earth! But
those observatories had also the opportunity to shot
neutralizer-beams into space onto any hostile incoming ship from
eventually aggressors. So these observatories were place around
the planet in a net - as defense-system.
FOOD FROM FISH
As they was so many, they had to use the
food-resources in fish, which made up ca10% of the food supply.
Artificial rivers were made for irrigation, where they also grew
fish. They flew by this channels as his host described it
all.
Later they arrived Acorc's home, where they
said goodnigh, but Arthur woke up early next day (remember the
nights was abnormal long, compared to what he was used to). He
went out to the terrace and watched the bauti of the city in the
night-light, but it was very cold outside, but he HAD to see this
sight.
The next day, they flew to a holyday-centre
at the cost, where the landed on the roof of a very long block
building along the cost, which reminded of the Chinese Wall when
they saw it from high - but much bigger and 20km long, but it was
a continuous holiday-block along this coast. (ca 100m vidth, and
500m from the shore/sea). A lot of crafts/ships arrived together
with them. On the other side of this long "wall" was a city along
it.
When the left their ship open, Arthur had
not yet habituated to the (moneyfree) situation there, as he
expressed concern for leaving the craft "unlocked". There they
also ate in a "bar" where he says he meant roomed perhaps 1000
tables!! There he again remarked that nobody seemed to pay for the
food:
SOME FROM THE BOOK DIRECTLY
" ...After that, we went to the trees and
sat down comfortably on some stools similar to chairs that
rotated. I put my hands behind my head and, thus remained for some
minutes. But in that calm, I commenced to reflect and I saw in my
mind an infinity of things that I was still unable to explain
satisfactorily. Brusquely, I raised my body and remained seated,
resolving to ask Acorc to explain some of these things that I did
not understand.
One of these was that, since I had
come to Akart, I still had not seen anybody pullout money to pay
for anything. We had just eaten a meal with nearly 1,000 people
and nobody had paid anything. With relation to us, I had
some kind of explanation, since we had that paper, which could
perhaps be a form of requisition by the government; but... the
rest? To clear up this doubt I asked: "What kind of money
do you have here?" He raised up and sat in the same
position as I, right in front of me and said: "Money? We have no money here on
Akart."
I almost fell on my back, stool and
all. "But how?! But how do they buy things, and pay their
employees?" He gave a sigh and responded: "Well, this is
a very lengthy affair, but I will try to explain to you. Akart was
all divided up into countries and each one had their own type of
government and money. That being the case when they began to feel
the problems of overpopulation, those better off commenced to
acquire every palm of our land and thus, those who had money
obtained and owned more space than they needed to live, while
those less favored by fortune were banished to the streets. This
resulted in dishonesty, robberies, several wars, and all the
rest.
Why?
Always because of the evils of money. The
whole planet was an inferno; a few survived and others in greater
number died of hunger, misery and pains. Then when it seemed like
all was lost, there emerged the greatest scientist of all times
here on Akart."
"And what did he do?" "He discovered the means to take advantage of the
very energy of the Sun." "What did that have to do with the
money situation?" "Many things. Once discovered, he and two
more of his followers, invented the arms which we still
have." "Was he rich or poor?" "Very rich, but he
spent all his fortunes on investigations and experiments which
resulted in benefits for all." "In what manner?"
"In the following way: When he
succeeded in inventing the neutralizer (beam weapon), he told
nobody of his invention, but gave adequate proof of what he could
do with such a weapon. He threatened all of the countries, that if
they could not find a common denominator for their differences, he
would use the weapon. He presented a global plan for the salvation
of the planet. Then all or almost all accepted and obeyed him. His
first step was to abolish all the frontiers, making all of Akart
only one country; the second was to level all of the cities to
equal rights and obligations. To obtain this, he had to get rid of
the money, and this automatically ended profits, speculations,
robbery, usury and many other things, proceeding from
money." "Then he must have been
some kind of dictator?"
"No, he did not become directly the
Government, but nevertheless gave ideas to others who then put
them into practice." "Certainly he depended on the support
of some strong country?" "No. It is as I said. Ninety
percent of the population of Akart lived in oppression and misery,
and thus they understood his ideas and supported him. The
remaining ten percent could do nothing, and finally, they accepted
also. And as the people helped to install this regime, the sane
people had the right to select their governors. They proposed that
the scientist be selected, but he would not accept, however he
indicated one son of his. That one was selected and became the
first Governor of all of Akart. Since the scientist was called the
man of the Sun, thanks to his discoveries, his son was called the
Son of the Sun. From this proceeded the tradition of calling our
president the 'Son of the Sun'." "Ah! For that
reason?" "That is it." "I thought it was a sacred
name." "No. It is not, as you can see." "When and for
how long is the governor of Akart then selected?" "Every
three years (Akartian)." (= 5 Earth years and 6 Earth
months.)
"But how can you get along without
money to buy or sell the things? How do you do it?" "Here,
nobody needs to buy or sell anything. There is enough work (for
those who are apt) that they can have all that they need or
desire, without the immoralities. Here, it is a crime for anyone
to refuse to work. We came to the conclusion, that money is
the work of the evil doings. Without it many evils are
avoided." "Are they obligated to work until after
they are old?" "No. The people work so many hours per day
or night and for the hours that are left, they can go where they
like, eat or drink in any public place, without extravagances, and
do as they please. In every year there is a period of rest; then
they can travel throughout all of Akart -- and see and do what
they please, traveling by whatever means they prefer. For this
there is enough available, which is furnished by the Government.
And they have more: What one citizen has, they all have, because
here all that is produced obeys a global plan; such as homes, the
ships, dress, alimentation, etc."
"Up to what age do they have to
work? "It is like this: Until 11 years (Akartian) they have
to study; from there forward they are going to work in a
profession which was approved by the schools; They work until 36
years (Akartian) and after that retire. Then, they can stay in one
place the rest of their life, or travel wherever they want, live
in one fixed place or live in a hotel, or various hotels, as they
choose. They have all the assistance and attention they require
for the rest of their life." "Is this law also for
women?" "Well, the women also study up till 11 years; and
after that then they may marry and care for a home, or if they do
not want to do that, they are obligated to work according to their
profession." ... (Note: When they go on interplanetary voyages,
their laws stipulate that it is a crime to bring back terrestrials
on the planet they visit, back to Akart. The commander of the ship
that brought the earthman, Artur, to Akart, he was demoted in rank
to an operator.) "I don’t
understand how the commander of an interplanetary ship, of such
high position, could pass to become an operator, because of an
unfortunate such as I? "
"Yes,
because our laws concerning the terrestrials is as follows: We
must not touch nor kill, still less bring one from another planet
back to Akart, as it your case. Here the laws are made by man, and
those that disobey must pay for their disobedience. " "I
thought that a functionary of such high position would have some
rights." "No! Here we have neither highs nor lows. All are
as equals, even the Son of the Sun (their governor). When he
finishes his days as governor, for which he was selected by all
the people, he will return to the plow the fields, if that is from
where he had come. "
"What are these mines of solar
steel? "
"Solar steel is a special steel whose utility,
I believe, still has not been discovered on Earth. It is of that
which we make our solar ships, like that in which you traveled
with me, and other things as well. It has many other uses."
...
He was again told of their problem of
overpopulation, and how it could be nessessary to move out part of
their population to earth - after an evt.atom/nuclear-war had
wiped out much of the earthmen, and they had the means to clean up
the environment rather quickly with their advanced technology.
They seem to have observing bases here, esp.on the moon, as also
the Korundors talked about. And yes- they then meant that an
atomic war was unavoidable in -58. (but seem to be out of insight
into the watching of our earth from MUCH more advanced races,
which make up a kind of "guardian angels" for our planet Earth.

***
LATER:
The Akart ETs spoke very briefly in the
1950s about the then three factions. Today, there are four
factions. Until the 1950s prior, there were two rival factions.
Emerging later was a third faction, but the third was still
sketchy. The Akart ETs have been silent for many years now.
They are still monitoring the planet Earth. They believe that
we waste too much time fighting, and should have been at peace
long ago.
THEY WILL COME AFTER OUR ATOMIC WAR TO
BRING ORDER "We are not exactly unaware that there on your
Earth, there exist two or more factions which are in conflict, and
all possess atomic bombs, with high destructive power, and they
continue to make more all the time, and of greater scale. If
instead of using the nuclear energy for destructive ends and
they used it constructively, our hopes would be
nullified." "What hopes?"
"To inhabit the Earth." "Are you
saying that you intend to invade the Earth?" "Yes, but as I
have already said, not on those terms. Let me explain in what
manner. You must be aware that an atomic war on Earth is
inevitable, and, even if we wanted to instigate it, we could,
since it would only be necessary to intercept an airplane or
ship of either faction, that the one would judge that it was the
other. But, we are not going to intervene in any such
manner, because we have come to the conclusion that they would not
resist for much time the curiosity to see the foul-up that
caused the situation, and, when this happens, none of them
will escape the devastation, because with only a few of those
bombs, the whole terrestrial globe will be contaminated. Once this
happens, we can peacefully take over the whole planet, because
those few who remain will be in no position to offer
resistance; on the contrary, they will welcome us."
"But what future is there when the
terrestrial globe contaminated by destruction and radioactive
poison?" "Whether it is contaminated constitutes no problem
for us."
"Why not? "Because, here we
have an apparatus which neutralizes the malefic effects of
radioactive poison, transforming it into fertilizer for the soil
and other things."
"If such a war happened, how much
time would you wait before going into action?"
"We would go into action as soon
as the war ended, because it would cost us to wait, as the
vegetation would all die in the zones of
conflagration."
"And if there was a victor who had
not suffered either human or material destruction?"
"There is no victor in such a
war. They would attack each other mutually; we are certain of
this, because we know all the secrets of the terrestrials, against
which they know practically nothing concerning us."
"But if I tell them what is here,
and what I have seen and heard on Akart?"
"Not tomorrow, I give you all
the reason when I say that nobody is going to want to believe
you."
"What suddenly interests me is that
which awakened the Son of the Sun and the Council, when from one
moment to the next, after finding danger in my return to Earth, he
asked me to make a written account of all that I saw, heard and
felt here, and to try to divulge it? Perhaps it was to test my
loyalty?"
"I can tell you that it was not for
that; we are interested in a large part of the terrestrials having
knowledge of some possible narrative of yours in this respect,
and, as is to be hoped, nobody is going to believe it at this
time."
"Why not at this
time?" "Because they are only going to believe when some of
these facts have been confirmed."
"How will
this benefit them and when?"
"When
they come out of the war and we appear on the Earth. The few who
survive, due to your knowledgeable aid, will know something of our
system of government, our manner of life and being, and thus will
not offer us resistance, which would be useless to
try."
(NOTE: The Akartians maintain a base
here on Earth for some centuries now. And ever so often they
rotate their staff there. They have built a huge space platform
several miles in diameter some distance away from their home
planet. This station they use as a stop over point, to station
thousands of space ships, etc. Their spaceships travel over 311
miles per second or over 18,660 miles per minute. This group has
anti-matter beam weapons.
Earth terrestrials will not have
anti-matter beam weapons until about the year 2990 A.D. and it
is this weapon they will use to vaporize the planet Mars from the
Sol System in a brutal interplanetary war.
It will be the last war the earthman
fight, before he realizes peace is the only way.)
"I would like to broaden the
question on one point: Are you saying that you are going to come
as owners of the house, and not as rangers,
"Well, I have already said that we are not
going to do anything bad to anybody. Now, once you have done the
mischief by your hands, nothing is more logical than that we
benefit you. We Akartians, by force of circumstances, have learned
to be realists. This question is comparable with a fable that my
father always told when I was a boy, which is
as follows:
"A man who had innumerable cages
thought it well to place birds in almost all of them. He had two
hanging one beside the other. In these two cages the birds were
multiplying; one came to the point where there was no more room
for more, but they lived well adjusted and were each contented
with a place to sit. Thus all those that the man allowed to hatch,
also were given the means to live.
Contrary to the first, the second, had
plenty of space, however they commenced to quarrel; each
one wanted the better place; the stronger lived comfortably and
the weak had to get used to the corners and be satisfied with the
crumbs. The roost there was left to the strong. Each one wanted to
be better and to control. Finally a struggle broke out, so fierce
that they mutually destroyed each other, and with them also most
of the weak ones, who had nothing to do with this.
The man, on seeing this, gave access to
those of the other cage of which he moved half to the first.
These went there and reconstructed the broken nests, resuscitating
some of those who had escaped with their lives, and thus they
were able to live in peace for many years, without worrying about
the problem of space, as much in one cage as the
other."
"I understand the moral, unhappily
for us terrestrials, perhaps this same thing is going to come to
pass. It is somewhat similar to Earth and Akart." I said with my
head down.
After some minutes of silence
between us, I asked: "Do you,
sir, not feel that you have erred in showing and explaining to me,
all this with respect to your arms and means of locomotion? Since
once I return to Earth, if I am given the time to do this in the
manner in which you have explained all, I think the government
would give me the necessary means, and I have the impression that
I could come to a conclusion."
He
swallowed dryly and leaned back to respond; and then between
reprimanding and fear, he said: "Well, in the first place, I
believe you are not even thinking of doing this; and second, the
terrestrials at the moment do not have materials to this end at
their disposal. But, please, do not speak to me of similar things
anymore, because if anyone here suspected what we are doing,
perhaps you would have to live here on Akart the rest of your days
of life.
I cannot say anything more, because I
cannot judge their capabilities, neither in one thing or
another."
Only then was it that I saw where I had
put myself with my foolish suppositions, and I
responded: "But it is not that I judge myself capable of
this. It is scarcely a supposition." "This I know, but you
are not going to want to nuke these suppositions known to the Son
of the Sun and the Council!"
Saying this, he stopped talking, and
remained with the fingers of his hands interlaced,
pensive.
End of this quotation.
The criminals there
At one time he came to see a seemingly
"poor" man there – who seemed to have fallen outside. His clothes
was unusual compared to the others, and seemed to be dirty also.
And they described to him that he was a criminal. But as they had
no prisons, those went around free, but had to beg for the living,
as they had no longer any access to the advantages the society
gave the rest. All got their sentence from what they had done.
Those could not enter any public establishment to obtain what they
needed. The "prisoners" was marked with a medallion to wear around
the neck, and could not be taken off until the penalty had been
through. They could neither travel by any of the public transports
when they went on this "prison" – only to walk around, begging for
food. Some sat out food for them, like to wild animals, and it was
indeed humiliation. Those married of these, could get some help
from their wives or children – evt. parents.
SUBWAYS
Below their cities there, ran parallel
automatic subways, which ran at different speeds. When they
reached the end station they went back - all operated automatic,
and the passengers could make it stop at the station they wished.
It all operated on electric power.
On his last day on that planet he was also
taken to a sport-like arrangement, where two teams fought a
pushing competition, never seen like on earth. But they also had a
footballike competition. It is to remark that this sportfield had
artificial grass, something that the was not yet made here on our
Earth at that time in -58.
After the sports-visit, and a farewell
-greeting to the "son",he was taken back to the family of Acorc,
and said goodbye in a short manner to them.
He was also told the problems they still
had regarding space-travel, and was told it was best to stay
unconscious under part of this trip when he, and his body, was not
yet used to it. We must remember that this race was in the first
steps regarding interplanetary trips. Their depart from the planet
Acart was also made in the same place that he had arrived some
days before -in the city of "Con". It was a special kind of
"airport".
He slept on the part of the trip to their
"space-station"- some 50.000 km out in space, so it was not much
time used to reach it either. This was an enormous platform in
space. Almost a city there, but only houses like "iglos", and all
out had to wear special suits.
ill.not from book
link to similar transportideas in
future
On the returntrip he was also showed around
the ship, which had 3 levels. The first and 3d - had less rooms
than the 2nd. The lower had small ships, and some kind
of solar weapons also. The middle - by which they reached by an
elevator- had laboratories, rooms and corridors. "in the various
compartments we entered, we always found humans seated in front of
super-complicated apparatus, covered with instruments of all
types.
The "motorroom" where they created the
propulsive force was ca 5x5m, and in the middle of it were
6motors, about the size of a barrel of gasoline, arranged in 2
rows or3- one above the other. He was told that these captured and
transmitted the solar energy moving the ship. Only 2 worked at the
time, the rest for reserve, in case of malfunction of the others:
"all made of matter is possible to malfunction…" he was told. The
ship had other motors used in the atmosphere. He was told the ship
had a normal crew of 32persons.
After many days in space, the ship came to
earth, but first they landed in a icy place he was told was on the
pole, and he drew the conclusion to be the south. From then on,
only short time till they let him out some kilometers from his
house, to where he used long time walking, because he felt so
heavy being back on earth. After some "confused" days inside his
house, he began writing down all this he had experienced, and what
is then reported here.
But they went on with some further contacts
with Arthur after this also. But as he got terrible trouble
locally when he told of this first experience, he just reported
those later to the investigators of the case..
End of report
The book was published in Portuguese in
nov.67-by Walter K.Buhler, and translated by Wendelle Stevens, and
published in-87, but have been sold out for long time, but used
copies may be found, but he now sell it as cheap
e-book.

Extra in the book:
THE MARIO RESTIER CASE
This is one of the earliest cases of being
taken to another planet, and happened 4dec-49- also in Rio in
Brasilia, but the case was not published until-68.
In this case he was away for 4months! When the interview
happened, Mario Restier, 40, lived in Volta Redona with wife + 3
children, and had worked at a steel plant for 15years. The trip
had happend when he was 17.
On 4dec-49, he was on the way to his father
when he noticed a strange discshaped craft. It came low above some
trees without any sound at all, and landed 15m from the road. He
was then talked to from the ship, on Portuguese, not to be afraid.
He went onboard, in spite of being afraid. Inside he saw two
persons of his own size, in peculiar clothes. He asked them if
they belived in god, and got the ansver that god "is one only".
This made him more safe. He was shown around the ship, and told to
stay in a special room, where a liquid was that they said was
necessary to be through the accelerations. He later found the ship
to be 15 m in diameter. Then he fell asleep. When he awoke, he saw
gigantic transparent domes, kilometres in extent, covering the
whole city in such a way, that where one ended, another began, and
they were connected. He got some "fruits" in a room where he was
taken, reminding of tropical fruits, which they said was an highly
purified food, with no need for wc-visits later.
Those people said they lived ca 300 years
pr incarnation. Their eyes were blue or green, and the mouth
small. He noticed no hair on their skin. He saw also women and
children there. But the craftmen on the return ship made him think
more of robots than of people.
He was shown diff.factories, when he asked
to be brought home. So he was, but when he came back he was
very amazed that he had been away for 4months!! His father
was very angry when he came back, because he had just disappeared
without saying where. He had looked after him in Rio, seeking all
he could for him. For Mario, it all seemed to have taken max 3
days! And he was allowed to take back some peculiar material - a
sheet of special metal.
