Conversations with ET

Some ETs Look like Humans

2009-09-04T21:26:00.000-07:00

I’ve had a rough time developing questions to ask the ETs. So many of the things I would like to know are forbidden subjects. For instance, nothing to do with technology can be discussed. They say it might apply undo influence on our behavior.

We have to make those discoveries on our own. The thinking is that if we discover something new on our own, then we will probably have the mental capacity to work with it.

I spoke with my ET friend Galen the other night about the possibility of communicating with someone from his home planet that is not of his astronaut species. I don't know how to do that because I have no idea what to concentrate on.

I don't have a picture of someone to contact and I don’t know where his planet is. I asked him for suggestions. He said I should get back to him after he had some time to think about it.

When I did get back to him, he said it wasn’t a good idea. If I remote traveled to his planet I might see things too technologically advanced for us mere humans to deal with.

Great. Now what?

Galen suggested that I could interview someone from his planet by having them visit me. They would perform a remote travel in reverse.

I suppose that would work. Timing would be a problem that would have to be worked out.

If I would agree to the arrangement, he would make a contact and find someone who would agree to contact me. Perhaps his mother. She fit my criteria of not being an astronaut type.

I agreed.

He told me to be open to being contacted. The next day I was washing dishes and was suddenly aware of a voice in my head asking if I was Duane and was I available to talk. It sounded like a woman talking to me.

I asked if she was Galen’s mother.

She said, “No. My name is Emah. I am a good friend of Galen’s mother.”

I asked if she could come back in a couple of hours. I really was busy right now.

Emah had no idea what I was talking about. Now I had a dilemma.

I remembered Galen telling me they don't handle time like we do. I couldn’t ask her to come back tonight or tomorrow or in a couple of hours. That would have no meaning to her.

This was not going to be easy. I did my best to think about a time a few hours away in terms of time passage. I asked her to contact me later.

I hoped she understood me because she agreed.

The next morning while I was getting dressed she entered into my mind again. The picture I got was of a slender built woman who reminded me of Christina Aguilera.

I told her I thought she looked a lot like a human woman and I was surprised. I was even more surprised when she dropped the long gown she was wearing and stood there beautifully naked. Well, not physically. Remember, it is all in my mind. But yes, she looked like our women on Earth.

She calmly put her clothes back on and said I shouldn’t be surprised. Hah. That was easy for her to say.

“Why not?” I asked.

“Because,” she said, “we were the basic building blocks for your construction. I thought you knew that.”

Well, yes. At the moment I had forgotten.

I asked her how old she was. She had a confused look on her face. She said she didn’t know how to convert her time to our time. She said she was between five and six of their cycles.

Okay. I believe she is from Nibiru. Zecharia Sitchin says Nibiru makes a complete cycle through our solar system about every 2,600 years. Then she must be 5.5 x 2,600 or 14,300 of our years old.

I must say, she didn’t look a day over 30.

I asked her if she lived in a house, above ground, like we do. She said everyone lived underground. There were only a few above ground buildings, such as air ship facilities. These were needed to support air traffic and give pilots a reference for landing.

I asked her is she ate food like we did. She said yes, but not very much. Their skin manufactured many nutrients from light, and in greater quantities than like we did with vitamin D.

I needed to get on with my days appointments so I asked her to come back. In my mind I had the thought of a couple of days, hoping that concept of time would get across to her.

I’m going to ask Galen to help Emah make the conversions of her time to our time so we don't have trouble making appointments.

Michael Jackson Will Return

2009-07-11T21:09:00.000-07:00

With the passing of Michael Jackson I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about our short lives as humans here on Earth. After my conversation with my ET friend Galen about ghosts and spirits I can’t help but think about reincarnation.

Ghosts, spirits and reincarnation all have one basic trait: we don’t have any proof they exist. I would like to hear Galen’s take on reincarnation.

Duane: Hello Galen. I see you are in your regeneration room. It is so bright in here.

Galen: If it bothers you, close your eyes. You don’t need to stare into my eyes tonight. You and I are alone.

D: Thanks, but I may lose my concentration if I don't keep my eyes open.

I want to ask you about reincarnation.

G: What about it?

D: Then you understand the concept.

G: Of course. All beings on all planets have the same basic beliefs because they all have somewhat the same thought processes. Beliefs come from thoughts.

D: Have people on your planet studied reincarnation?

G: Not to the extent that you humans have. You humans have such short lives that you are obsessed with anything that can extend those lives or give promise of an extended life, perhaps after your first life.

D: Does that mean anyone with a short life will come back as a ghost or spirit or a reincarnated human?

G: Not necessarily. Everyone is different. Everyone has different needs and desires.

D: I’m thinking of two very popular entertainers, both singers, who died young. Elvis Presley died at age 40 and Michael Jackson at age 50. Do you think they would come back?

G: I have only read about them. I didn’t know them personally and I was never privy to their personal doctors’ reports. I mention doctors because their doctors probably knew the men better than others.

Let’s look at Elvis Presley first. Even though he was only forty when he died, he had led a full life. He died suddenly, but I believe he was ready.

He was almost paranoid about someone wanting to harm him while he was performing. I don't think he would be eager to come back, either as a ghost or spirit or to be reincarnated. I don't think he felt he had a lot of unfinished business to attend to.

D: What about Michael Jackson?

G: Now he is another story. I would consider hum to be a very high tensioned soul eager to return to finish his work and put his house in order.

Michael Jackson was in the midst of preparing a new show. He was very active in the creation and production of it. He was in the middle of rehearsals.

And then, snap, he is gone. His spirit, or soul, must be very unsettled. He would never be content to loll around in heaven for eternity. He would have to return, to work out his needs and desires. That’s the surest way his soul could later have peace.

Those are my observations of how you humans react to your short lives.

D: Are you saying that you people don't reincarnate?

G: After spending 20,000 years doing every conceivable thing we could imagine or desire, what reason would we have to return?

D: I don't know. Maybe you missed your friends and family.

G: Hardly. It is more likely that a human would reincarnate as one of us. Don't get excited about that possibility. We don't have the large numbers of births you humans have so there are very few opportunities for someone to reincarnate as one of us.

D: But you think Michael Jackson will reincarnate?

G: Yes. And soon. With his dynamic soul he will want to get back as soon as possible.

D: Thanks, Galen. Maybe some day I will return as one of you.

G: Maybe. Don't count on it. Lead as full a life as you can. Then you will enjoy heaven. Good-bye Duane.

D: Good-bye.

Ghosts and Spirits

2009-06-25T22:42:00.000-07:00

I am intrigued by stories of ghosts and haunting, but I don’t have a desire to go looking for them. Many ghostly encounters are with malevolent entities. I have had enough bad stuff in my life without going out looking for it.

However, I think it would be interesting to hear what my ET friend Galen has to say about the subject.

Duane: Hello Galen.

Galen: Hi Duane. Hang on just for a minute.

Okay. Sorry about that. I wanted to give my full attention to finishing a conversation. What’s on your mind?

D: Do you know what ghosts are? Do you have them on your home planet?

G: I take our question to mean am I familiar with the phenomena you call ghosts. Yes. I have read many stories about your ghosts.

Do we have them on our home planet? If we do, no one talks about them.

D: Why do you suppose that is?

G: I believe ghosts are remnants of peoples’ souls. Almost every instance I have read about, the ghost is a physical manifestation of a person who has died unexpectedly or under terrible conditions that cause their soul to remain near the point of the calamity.

Many people on Earth are dying all the time under such conditions.

Now look at my planet. We live around 20,000 of your years. No one dies under horrible unexpected conditions. Actually, not very many die, period.

Most of us who die early are on trips to planets far from home. Many times, it is an unexpected accident. A ship crashes, or some calamity hits one of us on a clandestine expedition. If those of us who die, or are killed, under those conditions, have troubled souls and stick around as ghosts, it wouldn’t be on our home planet. Our souls would be stuck here on Earth or wherever the accident or situation occurred.

I believe that all our souls are released when we die. Our souls usually enter an unknown mysterious place that many call heaven. After 20,000 years on our planet, this heaven is a welcome change.

On Earth however, as on many other planets, people have relatively short lives. They pack in as much into their lives as they can. If their life is cut even shorter, they may feel bound to Earth and refuse to enter heaven. They feel they have unfinished business.

They can’t roam Earth in their Earthly body. It has been killed. Their soul creates an essence that some people are able to see. You call it a ghost.

Not many people become ghosts. Millions and millions of people die, but only a few ever stick around as ghosts.

Sometimes ghosts can be convinced they should accept the fact that they are dead and move on to better things.

D: Do you have any thoughts on spirits and how they may differ from ghosts?

G: I would say a spirit is a ghost that can’t be seen. Spirits hang around for a while after their body dies and eventually give up and leave. They don't have the dramatic death that drives them to be more visible, but they do have a desire to remain with their loved ones for a while.

On my home planet we grieve those who pass on and we are quick to release our friends and family so they can enter their heaven.

D: Thanks Galen. I have to go. Good-bye.

G: Good-bye Duane. By the way, I’m not a ghost or a spirit. I am very much alive. I won't be coming around to haunt you.

D: Thanks. Bye.

Wireless Power Transmission

2009-06-24T23:54:00.000-07:00

One of the cell phone manufacturers, Nokia, has announced a new phone that recharges itself without being plugged into anything. It takes its power from the radio waves it finds everywhere.

One of the ETs told me once that they don't use wires to get power to their homes.

Duane: Hello GC. How are you tonight?

GC: Just fine Duane. What’s up?

D: You are beginning to sound like me when you talk.

GC: Maybe that’s because in a way I am you when I talk. Everything you write down is actually words that you write, not me. You interpret the thoughts I send to you and of course you use words that you understand when you write it . So, yes, I sound like you when I talk.

So, what’s up?

D: I read the other day about a cell phone that recharges itself using radio waves. I was wondering if this is like your power systems on your home planet.

GC: It could be. The system sounds similar but I would doubt that the actual technology is the same.

D: If there is so much power all around us, why don't we use more of it like this cell phone does?

GC: The simple answer is you don’t use it because you don't have the desire. There is nothing stopping you from creating the ability.

You may have problems with power companies, however. They don’t like anyone to use power without paying for it. That’s what this cell phone is doing. It’s depriving the power company of revenue from selling the electricity to power the battery charger that connects to the cell phone by a wire.

You may solve the technical problems, but the practical, economic, and political problems may be overwhelming.

Solving the cell phone wireless power charging technical problems could lead to improving many of your electric power using machines.

Every electric motor and every electric generator has electric and magnetic fields surrounding it. That is all wasted energy. All of that energy could be collected and returned to the electric device to improve its efficiency. It takes ingenuity and desire but it could be done.

There are hundreds of thousands of miles of power transmission lines on your planet that are throwing power into the air. Wouldn't it be great if someone figured out how to collect all that lost power and put it back into the system.

Better yet, do away with the power transmission lines like we have.

D: How do we do that?

GC: I will tell you this. Someone in your government already knows how to do this. When Nicolai Tesla died, all of his papers were confiscated by your government. Those papers held the answer to wireless power transmission. Find those papers and you find the answer. Better yet, if Tesla figured it out, so can someone else.

D: So why don’t we do it?

GC: They haven’t figured out how to make money from it. There is much money to be made in this present system and the people who control it aren't ready to give it up.

D: I have to leave. When we get down to this conspiracy level I have trouble understanding what may be going on and it makes my head spin.

GC: Good-bye Duane.

Dogs and Telepathy

2009-06-21T23:35:00.000-07:00

My ET friend Galen once told me that on his planet there are no animals. They have robotic pets instead, due to the harsh living conditions.

I have a dog that is absolutely devoted to me. He is part border collie, and he lives up to their reputation of being a very smart animal.

We have become so close that I am beginning to believe that we sometimes communicate telepathically. I wonder what Galen would have to say about that.

Duane: Hello Galen. I haven’t seen you for a while.

Galen: Hello Duane. Yes, it's good to see you. Concentrate on my eyes. I am also busy with someone else this evening. I don't think you would want to get involved in our communication.

What’s on your mind this evening?

D: I usually eat breakfast by myself every morning. I like eggs, sausage and a cup of decaf coffee—powdered creamer, no sugar. While I’m eating, my dog is in the bedroom sleeping in his bed.

I’m afraid I have spoiled my dog by always leaving something on my plate for him to finish—not just breakfast, but lunch and dinner, too. At breakfast, I leave a small piece of sausage on my plate for him. As I get to that point, I consciously have the thought in my mind that Cheyenne, my dog, should wake up, come, and get his treat. I want to put my plate in the dishwasher. In a few seconds, he comes trotting out of the bedroom, comes up to me and sits.

The sitting I make him do before I give him any treat. Of course, he gets the sausage.

This is my question. Is it just a coincidence that he comes awake just as I finish my meal or is he getting some kind of message from my subconscious, or wherever telepathy comes from?

G: I don't know your dog, and I am not there for your breakfast. However, any living thing that has a brain gives off electrical impulses that are transmitted outward. Any brain tuned in to the correct frequency will be able to pick up the impulses.

It's hard to say if that's what is happening between you and your dog. It certainly is possible, though.

It’s also possible that your dog has learned your habits so well that he senses how long you have been in the kitchen and feels it is time to go and get his treat.

D: Many times after I have put him out I will get a feeling come over me that he wants to come in. I will go to the door and he will be sitting, or laying, there waiting for me to let him in.

G: Yes, telepathy can work in both directions. However, you also may only be sensing that he has been out long enough and wants in. These things are hard to prove.

D: Tell me about it. I have been trying for years to get some proof that you and I are communicating on some telepathic level. After all, it could be my subconscious making all this stuff up.

G: Unless the federation allows us to give you some incontrovertible evidence to prove we exist, my hands are tied.

D: Yes. I know. Same old, same old.

I’m losing my concentration. I have to leave. Good-bye, Galen.

G: Good-bye Duane. Don't be gone so long. I enjoy our meetings.

I was reviewing what I wrote and I noticed I started by referencing “his home planet”.

I used the male pronoun “his”. I said I was going to use “e” as a pronoun to replace he or she. I also need something to replace the possessive pronoun hers or his.

I was thinking about how I came up with e by removing letters from she and he. If I do something similar to his and hers I end up with a possessive form “hs." Instead of its, hers or his I will use hs, pronounced ayches, with the accent on the first syllable, or maybe hz, like in ms. I think ayches, because hiz sounds too much like his.

Humans Can’t Study ETs

2009-06-08T15:19:00.000-07:00

I am beginning to understand why so many people who say they have talked to extraterrestrials always say the ETs discuss human behavior and how we have to improve ourselves. It is because there isn’t much else to talk about.

The interesting stuff they won’t talk about. Anything that will divulge technology that is ahead of our own is off limits. They say they are not allowed to influence us.

I asked about their mode of transportation on their home planet. They won't tell me. They say it might influence us to build something similar. We have to wait until our own scientists and engineers develop the technology.

I have a sneaking hunch that GC and his fellow crewmembers, who are supposedly reverse engineering a spaceship, may never reveal how the thing really works. If they did, they would be violating federation rules, or laws, or whatever they call their legal stuff. They are forbidden from influencing our technology.

My ET friend Galen has told me they read the minds of the human engineers that work with them. That is a one-way telepathic transfer of information. The humans don’t get any information in return. They don't know how to read the ETs minds.

The ETs aren’t helping us to understand their advanced technology. I believe the ETs true goal is to understand how humans think and act and react to changing situations.

Galen has asked me to read a particular book about the US Civil War. He told me that he will then read my memory and will in effect be reading the book for himself. He does a lot of reading, but his handlers will only allow him certain books. This particular book could be considered controversial and they won't let him have a copy. So he has asked me to read it for him.

The book is called “The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War”, by H.W.Crocker III. On the cover it mentions, “That the Emancipation Proclamation did not free a single slave.” Wow, what did Lincoln get killed for?

It also says, “That Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis expected slavery to fade away naturally.” Another WOW. So many people were killed for what?

I better get myself in gear and read the book. I may learn something my Yankee school teachers wouldn’t tell me.

Speaking of Yankee, I had a southern girl friend many years ago who told me not to be offended if her friends referred to me as a Damn Yankee. They weren’t being personal, she explained, that is just the way they refer to us folks from up north. Hmm. Maybe they had a good reason.

Back to the subject. If Galen can read my memory of reading that book, that tells me that anything the human engineers read can be picked up by the ETs. An engineer goes home, say, and reads the newspaper or watches the TV. He or she may even discuss current events with their spouse. The next day the ET has all that information by way of his mind reading.

As I wrote those last few words, something came to my mind. When I speak of the astronaut type ETs, like Galen and GC, I use the masculine pronouns. I said “his mind reading”. The ETs have told me they are not male and they are not female. So whar are they?

In my head, when I hear them speaking, I hear a masculine voice. That doesn’t imply they are males. It only means I am a male and I hear a male voice in my head.

I know the ETs are neutral, but what kind of voice does a neutral have, and what would you call it. “It” sounds like you are talking about an inanimate object.

In English, and probably every other language on Earth, there is no word to describe a non-sexual human. At least I don't know of any. Hermaphrodite refers to an individual having both sexes. Even so, we don't have the equivalent pronoun of he or she to refer to a hermaphrodite. Heshe. I don't think so.

Maybe we could use the term “e”. Logically, if females are “she,” we take away one letter, the s, and we have “he” for a male. Let’s take away another letter, the “h” and have “e” for a non-sex individual.

I’m going to have to think about that for a while.

Meanwhile, all you wonderful women, please forgive me for using the male pronoun. I am using it in ignorance of anything better, and because I hear this male voice in my head. Funny, it sounds just like my voice.

Fear Drives Too Many Human Actions

2009-06-06T00:06:00.000-07:00

I want to continue my conversation with Hurmn, the Galactic Federation ambassador. Last night we were talking about fear and its effect on human behavior.

Duane: Hello Hurmn. May I ask you some more questions?

Hurmn: Hello Duane. Certainly. You haven’t been gone long.

D: About one day in our time. I suppose that isn’t long in galactic time.

H: For some that could be a long time. We don’t all live 20,000 years like your friend Galen.

D: Where do we humans fall on a life expectancy scale of 1 to 10?

H: About 1.2 if you are using a logarithmic scale.

D: Last night we were talking about fear. You said fear was not an acceptable characteristic of active galactic federation members. Could you explain that some more?

H: Yes.

Fear is the motivation behind many unacceptable behaviors.

D: I can understand that. Years ago, I attended a personal improvement seminar and learned that fear was the basis of anger. The facilitator suggested that every time we were angry we should search our thoughts to see what we were fearful of. It was a revelation that helped me to understand some of my emotions.

I thought at the time the we were learning something that should have been taught in every school.

H: Fear can be a driving force behind the actions of many of your world leaders. They fear attack by an enemy, real or imagined, and they build up weapons to protect themselves and the country. They fear personal attacks so they develop private bodyguards. And on and on and on.

Many of those fears started out in their childhood. A child born into poverty with a fear of never having anything may have a stronger drive to become powerful and wealthy than a child born into a wealthy family may.

D: Are you saying it is better to be born into poverty?

H: By no means. You are jumping to the conclusion that power and wealth are a good thing. That is not necessarily true.

Many of the children born into poverty never have an opportunity to better themselves. Many are driven into lives of crime by fear of not having enough money to purchase things they need or would like to have.

You name it; fear is behind almost every act of crime.

D: How about dope addicts stealing to support their habit?

H: They fear not having their dope. They usually can’t hold a job so they steal to get money. Fear is driving them. Fear of not getting their fix.

D: How do we prevent fear from over-taking us?

H: That you will have to figure out for yourselves. Fear takes many forms. Each form has to be handled separately. The same fear may affect different individuals in totally different ways.

One thing is for certain. Preventing fear in an individual must start almost at birth. Mothers and fathers must be trained to eliminate it in their personal lives.

That means they must be provided an environment that does not cause them to be fearful. That is not easy to do and takes a long time to accomplish on the scale needed to improve relations between people on a worldwide basis. When that eventually happens, you humans will be in a position to take your place with other people of the galaxy.

Then you can help us with our work in the Universal Federation.

D: I am starting to learn more than I want to know. I must leave you until another time. Good-bye and thank you Hurmn.

H: Good-bye Duane.

Earthlings Make Poor Galactic Members

2009-06-05T00:21:00.000-07:00

The Galactic Federation surely must have experience with many kinds of people living on all kinds of planets. What are some of the criteria the federation uses to determine if a civilization is ready to be accepted into the galactic economy? Tonight I am visiting Hurmn, the federation ambassador.

Duane: Hello Hurmn. May I have a few minutes of your time? I don't know how else to define time, so forgive me for using what I am familiar with.

Hurmn: Hello Duane. I would be happy to speak with you. Don't worry about the time description. I understand your problem. Use terms that work for you. I can interpret them.

D: Thanks. Our country and our world of countries are going through a lot of turmoil. I suppose you have seen this type of situation with many people on other planets, and I wonder how you determine when a civilization is ready to be accepted into the galactic federation.

H: All planets in the galaxy are in the galactic federation. Just like all countries and all people on planet Earth are part of the global community, whether they choose to accept the fact or not. Anyone born anywhere on your planet is an Earthling. They cannot deny it.

Someone born in a cave on an isolated island may choose to remain isolated and never enter into relationships with other humans, but they are still an Earthling. If that cave happens to be in a wild place in one of your United States, they would be a member of your country. You would call them a citizen.

Likewise, planet Earth is a member of the galactic federation, whether you like it or not and whether you know it or not. You are not active in the federation administration and you have no voting privileges, but you are a member nonetheless.

At present you have no say in how the federation handles, controls, or manipulates anything on Earth. Moreover, you won't until you establish ambassadorships and develop a working relationship with the rest of the galaxy.

D: What must happen for us to develop that working relationship?

H: That won't happen until we see that you humans can act responsibly with the rest of the galaxy members. We don't see that happening for a long time.

We thought you were on the right path when the Roman Empire began to grow. Large groups of people started working together instead of against each other. However, desire for power among the elected politicians led to bankruptcy of the nation through buying of votes of the electorate. We see the same thing happening to your United States today. Unless something drastic happens, we don’t see it surviving in its present form for very long.

Basically you Earthlings will have to develop training systems for your young that will teach them what is needed to become self sustaining adults who have everything they need to live the life that they not only desire but that is best for them. That way of living will help eradicate crime, both on the individual level and on the international and national levels.

Many of your Earthly problems are caused by fear. Individual leaders become fearful and develop armies and systems to protect themselves under the guise of protecting their nation. Nations led by those types of individuals don't support growth and the well-being of their citizens. And they foster more fear.

Fear is not an acceptable characteristic of galactic active members. Fear can lead to developing instruments of destruction that can cause harm to other galactic members and that will not be tolerated or allowed.

I detect you are losing your concentration. Let‘s continue this conversation some other time.

D: Thanks. Good-bye Hurmn.

H: Good-bye Duane.

ET Schools are Different

2009-05-31T22:56:00.000-07:00

This is graduation season in the U.S. Young people are graduating from elementary and high schools, colleges, and universities. Each graduation is a big step in that person’s path to adulthood.

The ETs have such a low birth rate that I don't see how they could have organized schools like we do. I wonder how they handle their schooling.

Duane: Hello Galen. Your lights are much brighter in here tonight.

Galen: Hello Duane. I didn't need the full light set-up that is in the other room so I just turned the lights up in here.

How are you?

D: Great. I went to a grandsons' and granddaughters' graduation party this afternoon. One is graduating from a University and the other from high school.

Do you have graduation parties and ceremonies back home?

G: Oh yes, but they are very different from yours.

We don’t have such a thing as classrooms. Our young ones are taught by many people who volunteer their time to teach many different subjects. It takes a long time to educate our children.

Along their path of learning, there are many places where special ceremonies take place to acknowledge completion of studies to that point.

As part of the process of advancement there is a study made of each individuals’ desires and capabilities. No one is ever trained for something inappropriate.

D: Who sets up all this training?

G: There are groups of individuals who have worked on training programs for a long time. They have become experts at education.

Everyone at some time in their life becomes an educator. Many take on interns and apprentices to continue their training.

D: It sounds like there is a lot of individual attention given to students.

G: It’s like having a class of one.

D: Is that cost effective, having only one student assigned to a teacher?

G: You forget that we don't have the same economic model that you humans have.

We don't have the needs that you have. We don't have the desires that drive you humans. Can you imagine how different your life would be if you didn’t need to eat or sleep? Your homes wouldn’t need a bathroom, a kitchen or a bedroom. How simple your life could be.

D: Sounds good to me.

G: Now imagine doing something you love to do, all the time. It would never seem like work. It would always seem like playing around.

D: Sign me up.

G: Maybe one day. You humans have a long way to go before any of this would work for you.

D: I’m afraid you’re right.

I have to go.

G: Okay. Good-bye Duane.

Rendlesham Forest UFO

2009-05-29T19:24:00.000-07:00

In December 1980, there was an incident in the Rendlesham Forest just outside RAF Woodbridge air base in the UK. It became the UK’s equivalent of the Roswell incident in the United States.

There is much controversy over the events that happened there over several nights. A good place to read about it is http://www.rendlesham-incident.co.uk

Everything started with the observation of some strange lights in the woods. The United States Air Force occupied the base at the time and several Air Force personnel investigated the source of the light. They found a UFO. One of the men touched it and copied down some of the strange symbols he saw written on its side.

I bring this up because I have a question for my ET friend GC regarding the lights. He is the more technically inclined of the ETs I have spoken with.

Duane: Hello GC. I see you are still at work on your ship.

GC: Oh yes. Hello to you too Duane. This work keeps us occupied and seems to give a lot of satisfaction to the human engineers we work with. What can I do for you?

D: I think it was you, or maybe Galen, who told me that your spaceships don’t have lights on them. That there are many more spaceships flying in the skies than we are aware of. We don't see them because they are not lit up.

GC: You must be careful in applying such generalities. It is possible that some spaceships have lights. Almost all of them give off light when they change from cruising speeds to observational speeds, and some may have other lights. It depends on their assignment.

D: I have been reading about the sighting of a UFO in a forest. What brought everyone’s attention to it was the light it was giving off.

GC: Did they describe the light? What did it look like?

D: They said it was a large yellow glowing light. In the center of it was a blinking red light and a steady blue light.

GC. That is a strange mixture of lights, to say the least.

D: Yes. What do you make of it?

GC: Was the craft flying or on the ground?

D: They said it was on the ground when they first saw it.

GC: It might help if we tried to guess at their mission. If the occupants were on a clandestine mission to gather information about the air base, it doesn't make sense that they would announce their arrival with a display of lights.

It is possible they were testing the response times of the security people that came out to investigate. Their motive for that would be difficult to guess. I would rule that out.

D: Could they have been having problems with the ship? The investigators said that later on they saw a red pulsing object flying among the trees and dripping what looked like molten metal.

GC: That is a real possibility. There are many things that could cause jettisons of material like that. It is possible the first night’s sighting was when they landed the ship for a preliminary check of something that had gone wrong.

Perhaps the lights were needed to illuminate areas of the ships’ outer hull to see if it was intact.

If their surveillance of the air base wasn’t completed, they may have returned later for another look. Their ship was still having problems. Only this time the outer shell melted, dropping molten metal as it flew.

D: The observers said many smaller bright lights broke away from the ship and flew away. The original ship seemed to disintegrate, or as one of them described it, it silently blew up.

GC: Things don’t silently blow up. Maybe that’s what it looked like to him. When someone sees something new to their senses for the first time, it is difficult to comprehend and to describe.

The smaller lights were probably escape pods and the ship didn’t disintegrate, or blow up, it entered its cruising mode and became invisible. They were all trying to get back to the mother ship before more problems arose.

I’m not saying this is what actually happened. I’m giving you a possible scenario. I wasn’t there, and I don't know of anyone who was.

D: Why are you ETs so interested in our air bases?

G: Because your airplanes are one of the means of delivering nuclear weapons accurately. Missile bases are also of great interest to us.

D: Would you destroy our bases if you saw us with nuclear weapons?

GC: Only if it looked like you were launching them into space. That could cause much harm to the stability of the galaxy.

D: So you don’t care if we cause much harm to ourselves?

GC: I didn’t say that. Remember, we are obligated to interfere as little as possible. If you humans are bound to destroy yourselves, maybe it would be better for the galaxy and the universe if you weren’t around any more.

However, we only see that a few of you are on a destructive path. Eventually they will destroy themselves and the rest of you will endure.

It will be interesting to see how long that will take.

D: Hundreds or thousands of years?

GC: Nobody knows. A miracle could happen and the course of humanity could change in a decade. I would suggest you don't bet on it, though.

D: Thanks GC. I have to leave. Good-bye.

GC: Good-bye Duane.

UFOs and Demons

2009-05-27T00:12:00.000-07:00

Tonight I heard the tail end of a Coast-to-coast radio talk show. It was a rebroadcast of the Monday/Tuesday night shows’ last hour. They were discussing the possibility that UFOs are really created by demonic forces to mislead us. Why, I don't know. The part I heard never mentioned any motive for such an action.

My ET friend Galen should have something interesting to say about this.

Duane: Hello Galen. How are you tonight?

Galen: Hello Duane. I am well, as usual.

D: I heard part of a radio talk show this evening where they were discussing the possibility that you are actually a demon, or a demonic creation, that is misleading us to believe we are seeing UFOs.

G: I think you should see if you could get more information about the subject. I would be interested in what proofs are being offered, or why someone would ever consider such a theory.

D: Apparently the person being interviewed is a Catholic priest and he has written a book on the subject. Maybe I can find a copy of the book and fill in the details.

G: That would be a good idea. Without knowing anything more than what you have told me, would you like to hear my take on the demon theory?

D: Of course. That’s why I brought it up.

G: Let’s look at the idea of demons. I have two questions for you. One, are demons good or bad? And two, who usually talks about demons?

D: I think everyone would consider demons as being bad, or evil. I also think that religious people usually talk more about demons than more secular folks would.

G: I think you are right on both counts. Now comes the tough question. If demons are bad, who exactly are they?

D: Anyone, I suppose, who is considered bad could be considered possessed by a demon, or are demonic.

The dictionary says a demon is a devil or evil spirit, or a person or thing regarded as evil or cruel.

G: Not many people speak of the devil or a demon unless that person is very religious. And who do they consider possessed by demons or the devil? Usually anyone who does not believe the way they do.

I would propose that everyone is demonic or possessed by the devil or demonic forces, because everyone is of some other religion.

If you aren’t of my religion, then you will go to hell when you die because demonic forces are causing you to believe wrongly.

But, you can say the same thing about me. So we are each possessed by demonic forces and will go to what the other person considers hell. Or is your heaven my hell and my heaven your hell?

That poor catholic priest is a demon in someone’s eyes. Not in his own eyes. In his own eyes, he is on the path to saint hood.

D: You are telling me that we are all demons.

G: According to someone.

D: Marvelous. Just absolutely marvelous.

G: Don’t forget the other side of the coin.

D: What’s that. We are all saints, or angels, or something like that?

G: You’ve got it.

D: So it all depends on one’s point of view. And one’s point of view is most likely determined by where one is born and who their parents are.

G: To a great extent. I suggest you keep an open mind and don't condemn anyone for their beliefs. That’s all they are, are beliefs, and those beliefs are colored by their point of view.

D: I’ve got to go. I’m losing it. Good-bye Galen.

G: Good-bye, Duane.

ET Says 2012 is a Farce

2009-05-26T10:53:00.000-07:00

A while back, I asked my ET friend Galen about the significance of the year 2012 to Earth inhabitants. He said it would just be another year. It would have as much significance as the year 2000 had, probably less.

In 2000, there were a few computer programs that had to be fixed to handle years beginning with 20 instead of 19. It was nowhere near the catastrophe that many had predicted.

Galen did say we would start to see an increase in UFO sightings. The increase in sightings would have nothing to do with the Mayan calendar ending on December 21, 2012. The increase would herald the return of the planet Nibiru sometime in the late 21st century.

I will direct my questions about this event to the Galactic Federation ambassador I met, Hurmn.

Duane: Hello Hurmn. Do you have some time to talk with me? I have a few questions I would like to ask you.

Hurmn: Hello Duane. It’s been a while since we spoke last. What’s on your mind? I have some open time.

D: Thanks. I have read that Nibiru is on a 3,600 year cycle and is about to make a swing through our solar system sometime in the next hundred years. Is that true?

H: Yes. I imagine you are wondering what effect that may have on Earth and its inhabitants.

D: Yes. I think it was the last time Nibiru came through that we had terrible flooding.

H: I’m afraid you may see that again. Of course, I don't mean you personally. It won't happen that soon.

D: What can we expect?

H: Not too much. Not as much effect as your moon has on you. Exactly what will happen is unpredictable. Much depends on conditions on Earth at the time.

Large pieces of glaciers are always falling into the sea. If an exceptionally large piece comes under the gravitational influence of Nibiru it could make a huge wave in the sea. A tsunami might be generated that could have devastating effects on any people living close to the water.

On the other hand, if the glaciers are stable and only small pieces are pulled off, then nothing will happen because of them.

D: What about earthquakes?

H: Again that situation is unpredictable. Your moon has more effect that Nibiru ever will, it is so much closer.

D: What will the biggest effect be on Earth?

H: The increase in ET visitors. As Nibiru gets closer to Earth it becomes more practicable for the non-astronaut types to venture out. They have been hearing about the great changes on Earth that have taken place in the last three thousand years and many are eager to see it first hand.

These new visitors are very similar in looks to you humans. They will likely mingle with you as tourists.

D: Could these so-called tourists have some influence on our development? I thought there were federation laws prohibiting that.

H: We will monitor that very closely. Prospective travelers will undergo training to prepare them for what they can and cannot discuss with humans. Only trusted individuals will be allowed to travel.

D: Isn’t there a possibility that some of the visitors might get attracted physically to some humans and vice versa.

H: Oh yes. That is expected. Each case will be taken up individually and dealt with accordingly.

D: What does that mean?

H: Just what it says. We don't know what will happen until it happens.

D: I have to leave, Hurmn. Thanks for your time.

H: You’re welcome, Duane. Good-bye.

Extraterrestrials and Memorial Day

2009-05-24T16:31:00.000-07:00

This is a long weekend to celebrate Memorial Day. When I was working, I always looked forward to this first of the years holidays. From New Years to Memorial Day is almost five months. That is almost half a year with no holidays in the good ole USA. That is US of A not U of SA. U of SA may be more civilized and have more holidays.

Extraterrestrials are more advanced technologically than we are. I wonder if that can be extended to include being more civilized. If so, they must have some means of memorializing their fallen heroes.

Duane: Hi Galen. I see you are still reading.

Galen: Hi Duane. Yes. That is my life for a while.

D: In the United States, we are having our first holiday of the year. We call it Memorial Day in honor of all the men and women who have given their lives in the service of their country.

You have told me that on your planet you don't have yearly holidays because you don't have years. How do you honor you people who have given their lives to protect your planet or your country?

G: We do it at the time we hear about it. Long celebrations take place in honor of those that died. Their home is usually made into a museum, especially if they were living alone.

At the time of someone’s death, families will pull up out of the huge data archives, the biographies of past family members, and honor them at the same time.

D: Does that happen very often?

G: That’s not easy to answer because I can’t equate your days and years to our way of life. We have a very low death rate from natural causes. Most of our deaths come from spaceship crashes during extended explorations. Those are usually multiple deaths.

D: Do your friends and family back home know that you are still alive?

G: Oh yes.

D: I’m surprised they haven’t tried to rescue you.

G: Rescue implies saving me from something. What would they be saving me from? I have comfortable living conditions. I have almost all the books I can read. There are no threats of torture or intimidation. I am learning a lot about the history of humans on Earth and that is what I was sent here for in the first place.

D: You sound like you don't want to go home.

G: I’m not worried about home, if that’s t you mean. We keep in regular touch.

D: So they know everything you are doing here?

G: Yes.

D: Aren’t they worried that our government will uncover some of your technological achievements?

G: No. Some of it is so advanced that your scientists couldn’t understand it, or believe it. Many things will take so long to figure out that they will be learning how to use the capabilities at the same time they are learning about them. It is important to not let you get ahead of your ability to use something.

D: So you are controlling how much we learn about your space travel when we reverse engineer your space ships.

G: You could say that.

D: I did.

G: Yes, you did.

D: Next, you’ll tell me it is no accident that you are here.

G: Not exactly. We took advantage of an unfortunate situation.

D: I have to leave you Galen. I’m losing my concentration. Good-bye.

G: Good-bye. Enjoy your long holiday.

D: Thanks.

ET Talks About Other Planets

2009-05-19T23:11:00.000-07:00

My ET friend has done a lot of traveling around the galaxy. Probably around the universe. I wonder what some of the other planets look like.

Duane: Hi Galen. Looks like you’re in the regeneration room, and some of your group is here with you.

Galen: Yes. We all felt a need for a little pick-me-up. What’s on your mind tonight?

D: I think I remember your telling me that you have traveled to many planets in addition to Earth.

G: Yes. That’s true.

D: Have they all been occupied by some form of beings?

G: I have seen planets at all levels of sophistication and advancement.

D: What are some of the more interesting, or bizarre, things you have seen?

G: They are all interesting. Planets in their early years of formation of a sentient population are followed up on a regular basis to see how they advance.

We like to take DNA samples of different personality types to see how their biology changes their behavior.

D: Do the individuals develop different traits depending on the differing planet environments?

G: Oh yes. Take our planet. We build underground to protect ourselves from the harsh surface conditions.

Some planets are mostly water and the individuals living there, at least on one planet I visited, never leave the water. They have gill-like organs for extracting oxygen from the water. We are following them closely to see if they develop air-breathing organs to allow them to live on land. It may be hundreds or thousands of years before they need the ability, but it will most probably happen.

D: What about buildings on the different planets. Are they very different?

G: I can’t divulge too much to you. It could jump you ahead of your normal progression in knowledge, and that would be a federation violation. I will put it to you this way.

When you look at pictures of buildings in a scrapbook, can you tell about what year they were built? I mean, you can tell a modern skyscraper from a large building built say, five hundred years ago.

D: Yes. I think I could. The buildings look different just like the people dress different from different times.

G: Right. The difference in those buildings from different times in the history of your world is what we see when we find constructions on different planets.

Usually the controlling factor in building construction is the technological sophistication of the people and the environmental conditions on the planet.

D: Don’t you take information back to your own planet about how people live elsewhere?

G: Yes.

D: Doesn't that influence your buildings and technology?

G: Yes. But we are so advanced in our culture that we can handle those differences without disrupting our way of life. We have developed methods to assimilate that foreign technology without problems. You humans aren’t capable of that yet.

D: Thanks, Galen. I’m losing my concentration. I have to leave. Good night.

G: Yes. Good-bye Duane.

ET Says Loss of an Individual Affects the Entire Earth

2009-05-16T01:01:00.000-07:00

Maybe I can get Galen to tell me more about their studies of other civilizations.

Duane: Hi Galen. The other night we were talking about the studies your more human types were doing on the information you astronaut types bring back from your trips.

What exactly do they do with all that data?

Galen: When we study a planet, it is always for an extended period of time. Seeing a civilization develop and change, as we see it, from a distance, literally, gives us a perspective that shows us trends.

Surprisingly, people on different planets aren’t very different in their behavior. We see how people learn about themselves in their small groups, and then how they expand to learn about other people around them.

Some people take longer than others to join together into larger groups. Why that is, is of great importance to us. Some groups seem like they will never get together with others, but eventually they all do.

We would like to learn how to help the slow learners to assimilate faster, like maybe in thousands of years instead of tens of thousands of years.

D: Why should it make a difference to you? You are advanced so far that these other civilizations can’t really help you.

G: But lets say that a planet is developing with several groups that are each developing as separate entities. They not only refuse to get together, they are actually trying to destroy each other.

They could be individually advancing their technologies at such a fast rate that they are developing horrible weapons that could cause major destruction, not only to each other but to the planet itself. Does that sound familiar. Your nuclear weapons are terribly destructive.

D: So, you could just leave them alone to destroy themselves. How does that hurt you?

G: Actually in several ways. First of all, destruction of a planet can cause physical changes in their local solar system. That can cause changes in their galaxy. Eventually everyone is affected.

D: Okay, I can see that. But it seems to me most of those changes are too small to affect anyone.

We hear of stars exploding and I don’t think they have ever had an effect on Earth.

G: You don't know because you will never live long enough. Some of those effects may not be felt for millions or billions of years.

D: What’s another way they could hurt you, or us?

G: We talked once before about everything in the universe being tied together. We were discussing astrology at the time. (See blogs of April 14th and 15th 2009)

Because we are all connected, anything happening to anyone has an effect on everyone else.

I know you are aware of what happened on Earth when axes were first used. I know because you just brought the thought into your mind.

D: I still feel creepy when you read my mind like that.

G: That’s because you don’t know how to shut me out. Maybe I will teach you that one day.

Back to the axes. Your scientists have determined that axes began to be used almost simultaneously all over the Earth at about the same time. How was that possible?

Did someone fly all over the Earth bringing the news, or did they publish it in the journals of the time?

D: No. Of course not. No one knows how the word got around.

G: You’re right. Your scientists, for the most part, don't consider the Higher Self or Super-conscious in their studies.

Let’s consider how this could happen. One individual gets an idea for the axes. It is a tremendous tool. The axe helps them to cut trees for firewood and to construct living quarters.

The axe is so important that the individuals’ Higher Self puts the idea out into the cosmos. Thousands of miles away another individuals’ Higher Self is tuned into the first ones Higher Self and picks up the idea. This goes on and on until the entire Earth is using axes.

Of course, each one thinks they were the one that invented it on their own. Not a chance.

D: I can see all that, what’s your point?

G: My point is this: what if that first person, a genius for his time, is killed in a fight with a neighboring tribe before he or she invents that wonderful axe.

D: No one gets to make axes.

G: Exactly. A genius capable of creating an axe may only come around once every thousand years, or so. Of course, eventually someone may come up with the idea. But it could take another hundred or thousands of years.

Let’s take another example. Cancer takes many forms on Earth and it also takes many lives. Your scientists have been working many years to find cures for cancer and means to prevent it in the first place.

D: So?

G: During that great war that you call World War two, there was a man named Hitler who was responsible for killing millions of people. Some of those people might have been the ones to create a cancer cure.

They were killed before they came up with their creation. That one terrible man might be responsible for much pain and suffering and many more deaths due to cancer. How many years will it be before a cure is found?

D: Who knows?

I have read that when the Spaniards invaded South and Central America they killed off all the people they thought were threats to them. These were usually the more intelligent ones, the ones who would be most likely to come up with new inventions.

A lot of creativity must have been destroyed at that time.

G: Yes. And all the despots and tyrannical dictators took over and created the chaos that is still rampant there, hundreds of years later.

Every time someone gets killed unnecessarily, your civilization as a whole suffers. People who learn this sooner, also learn how to get together peacefully sooner.

D: With that thought I need to leave you for tonight. I am losing my concentration.

G: Good-bye Duane.

ETs Travel for Excitement

2009-05-13T23:52:00.000-07:00

There have been some terrible storms in the Midwest parts of our country in the last few days. I wonder if they have storms on Galen’s home planet.

Duane: Galen, do you have storms on your planet?

Galen: Oh yes. They are different from yours. We don't have the thunder and lightning like many of your places do. We mostly have something similar to the sand storms on your deserts. They are accompanied by extremely strong winds.

The sand acts like a grinding wheel on anything it comes in contact with.

D: Is that why your homes and buildings are mostly underground?

G: That certainly helps. I suppose that is a big reason for underground facilities. That doesn't leave much above ground to be destroyed.

D: I can’t imagine living in an area where there are no plants, no trees, and no buildings to be seen for miles and miles. It must get terribly boring.

G: There is a certain grandeur to looking out over huge expansive, open landscapes. It does get tiresome after a few thousand years. Visiting other planets and discovering the different life forms makes an interesting study.

I can’t imagine living any other way.

D: But not everyone on your planet travels to visit other planets. What do the others do when they get bored?

G: Those are mostly the human types. They aren’t suited for long distance space travel without a lot of extra preparations on the spacecraft.

D: So what do they do?

G: Many of them study the material we bring back from our travels. The result of their analysis of our data helps us to develop programs to understand how some people become good and some become bad.

D: I thought you couldn't interfere with developing planets.

G: We can’t. But we can certainly study to understand them. If they become a threat or a danger to others we must find ways to intervene without being disruptive. It isn't easy, but it doesn't happen very often.

D: I have to leave, but I would like to continue this some other time.

G: Until some other time.

Children are the Key to a Successful Planet

2009-05-12T23:43:00.000-07:00

It is hard for me to believe that an entire population of a planet can get along without any problems. Galen has said that there are two different types of individuals on his home planet. He calls them the astronaut types and the more human types. At least that is my interpretation of what he transmits to me.

Those are two different races of people. That’s what we would call them: races. How did they work out their problems caused by their differences?

Duane: Hi Galen. You told me that diversity is a big problem with people getting along with each other.

Galen: Hi Duane. Yes. What about it?

D: You also told me that you have two types of individuals on your planet, but that you all get along. How does that work?

G: There are a number of factors involved. I think that a little history will help clarify things.

The original inhabitants of the planet were the ones I described as being human like. Their bodies are more complex, like you humans.

They have males and females. They can make babies like humans do. They can eat and have the biology necessary for eating food, digesting it, and eliminating waste materials.

These individuals found it difficult and cumbersome to travel great distances. On their spaceships they needed to carry immense food supplies and had great waste handling systems. Over a long period of time their scientists genetically altered their DNA to the point where they could do without eating.

The scientists felt they could carry their DNA manipulation further and created an individual particularly suited for space travel. Someone who not only could live without eating, but they also wouldn’t have all the excess weight and complexity of a digestive system. They went further with their work and eliminated all of the reproductive system.

At the same time, they increased our brain capabilities so we could do a better job of communicating telepathically.

While all of this biological work was going on, our educators were working on methods of including the astronaut types into the general population. We could spend an entire night talking about the education program.

D: How long do you think all of that work took?

G: I have no way of making a comparison with your years. I would guess it was thousands and thousands of years.

D: Are your mothers the main educators?

G: By no means. They are the first educators. A child's early experiences are extremely important. Before a female is approved for giving birth she must undergo a heavy work load of training.

D: Can you make a guess how long that would be in Earth years?

G: Hundreds and hundreds of years. Most females are several thousand years old before they make themselves available to be mothers. It is a great responsibility.

D: Who are the next educators?

G: The extended family and any siblings. Then the official education system takes over. This is a gradual process that has been thoroughly thought out. Nothing is left to chance.

D: It sounds like you don't have much choice in what you learn.

G: On the contrary. Special talents, desires, and abilities are all taken into account. We are strong believers in free will.

D: It doesn't sound like it.

G: I suppose you believe you have total free will.

D: To a great extent.

G: No more than us. Everything you believe is free will has been affected by everything that has happened to you since before you were born and for ever after. We just make sure our children all have good experiences.

D: I see your point. I also see it is getting late. I have to leave. Good night Galen.

G: Good-bye Duane.

ET Says Mothers Can Save the World

2009-05-12T00:21:00.000-07:00

My ET friend Galen and I were carrying on a conversation about human behavior, sexual attitudes of people, and over population. I thought our talk didn't sound authentic so I quickly changed the subject. He seemed to be reading my own thoughts and playing them back to me. I wasn’t learning anything I didn’t already know.

I changed the subject to implants. I wanted to know what he tonight about them.

Galen: I personally have never used them. The implantss I know about are only used as locators. You humans move around so much that we needed some method of finding you easily.

Duane: I have heard that you use them for mind control.

G: Not that I know of. Why would we want to do that?

D: I don't know.

G: Exactly. I don't know either. The Federation has directed that we are to maintain as little contact as possible in order to allow you to develop on your own. A mind control implant would be a direct violation and could cause severe punishment.

D: I thought you didn’t have such a thing as severe punishment.

G: I am talking about on the Federation level. Both the Galactic and the Inter-galactic Federations could prevent any of us from having inter-planetary visitations if they thought we were interfering with other people’s development.

Everyone must develop on their own at their own pace.

Why are you interested in implants?

D: I asked you to find out if I had an implant in my cheek. I wonder if this thing is an implant or just a big cyst. My oral surgeon said to leave it alone. If it’s an implant, I would like to have it removed so it could be examined. Then I would have some kind of idea that you are real. I know none of my dentists would have put an implant in there.

G: I have not found anyone who had such knowledge about you.

D: You have spent a lot of time studying humans. You told me that one of our problems is our great diversity. It makes it difficult for us to become one great homogenous population.

G: Yes. I believe it will take many years to create a population that shies away from war and destruction.

D: How do you people do it?

G: Our training begins with our mothers. For tens of thousands of years (I’m using your designation of years) we have developed mothers who teach their children love, kindness, all the traits needed for people to get along in harmony.

I have seen that in some of your groups. Of course, not all traits are in all groups. For example, Japanese mothers teach their children to be scrupulously honest. They would never consider taking anything that didn't belong to them.

On the other hand, there are groups of people who are taught to steal by their mothers. If someone isn’t smart enough to protect their belongings, then they deserve to have them stolen. Isn't that a nice thing to teach your children?

In some countries, mothers teach their children to avenge the deaths of relatives they believe were killed for wrong reasons. How does that further the cause of peace?

D: It doesn't. Do you think mothers are to blame for everything bad in the world?

G: No. I think a big contributor is the huge birthrate. It seems that humans walk around with sex on their minds constantly. All the unwanted babies cause much of the crime when they become old enough to want things and to want revenge for real or imagined wrongs.

D: So what do we need to do to correct this?

G: You humans have to work it out, if you ever get the desire. I won't, and I can't, interfere. I’m just telling you what I see as a problem.

D: You are telling me things that make me feel helpless.

G: Do something about it.

D: I really want to wave a magic wand and make it all right. I’m too tired to start any kind of movement.

I have to go. Good night Galen.

G: Good-bye Duane.

ETs Celebrate Mothers

2009-05-09T22:55:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow is Mothers’ Day around here and I wonder what the ETs think about honoring mothers.

Saturday May 9, 2009 10:35 p.m. I check in with my ET friend Galen.

Duane: Hi Galen. What are you reading tonight?

Galen: Hi Duane. It’s a book about the history of dogs.

D: I thought you were interested more in human history.

G: I am. I can learn a lot about you humans from your dogs.

D: How’s that?

G: Did you know that all dogs started out as a single species?

D: I have heard that. It is a little difficult for me to believe.

G: Different people had different needs and developed different species of dogs to support those needs.

D: I would have to do some research on that before I believed it.

G: Let me know what you find.

D: I will. Do you know that tomorrow is Mothers’ Day in the United States?

G: Yes. I have read that.

D: Do you celebrate something like that on your home planet?

G: We don’t have organized repetitive celebrations such as you humans do. We have never developed the concept of commemorating an event at a certain time of year because we don't have years.

We do celebrate motherhood. A birth on our planet is a very special occasion because it happens so seldom. Whenever a baby is born, all mothers on the planet are recognized and thanked for their efforts.

D: Do you ever feel bad because you can never be a mother or father?

G: No. I have never really thought about it because it isn't something that could ever happen.

Have you ever felt bad on Mothers’ Day that you couldn't be a mother and have all that adulation and recognition?

D: No. The thought never entered my mind. To think that way would be silly, stupid, and a waste of time.

G: My point exactly. I see in your thoughts that you are thinking about the flowers you bought your wife. Why did you do that? She isn’t your mother.

D: No, she isn't. Her becoming a mother is what made me a father. Being a father was a desire I had for a long time. I can't explain why. I think it was the idea of the title. It was the same feeling I had when I first became a grandfather. I couldn't stop talking about it.

G: I can understand that, although I will never experience it. The closest I will get to having children is helping to raise a new sibling. That doesn’t happen very often, but when it does, it is a special experience.

I hope your wife has a great Mothers’ Day.

D: Thanks. Good-bye.

G: Yes. Good-bye.

Not All Humans are Bad

2009-05-07T00:28:00.000-07:00

Phillip Krapf, a retired newspaper editor, wrote several books about experiences he had on board an ET spacecraft. I am just finishing his second book, "The Challenge of Contact". You can read a small excerpt from it here: http://www.padrak.com/ufo/KRAPF3.html

Krapf tells of the ETs scrapping plans for a joint human and ET meeting and disclosure. The 9/11 catastrophe made the ETs skeptical of our ability to enter the outer world because of our terrorist tendencies.

I would like to know if Galen has any knowledge of this.

Wednesday, May 6, 2009 8:48 p.m. I travel to meet Galen.

Duane: Good evening sir. And how are you this fine evening?

Galen: I am just great, and how’s it with you?

D: I’m doing well, thank you. Enough of this. I’ve got a question for you.

G: Shoot.

D: Bang. No, I mean okay. I’m in a foolish mood tonight.

G: I can tell.

D: I’ve been reading a couple of books by a ..

G: Yes, I know. And you want to know what I know about the ET and human meeting. Is that right?

D: Yes. You know it is.

G: I’m not privy to all the plans that were made. I can tell you that many of us knew what was about to happen. My group was eager for the disclosure to take place. We were hoping it would allow us and our work to become general knowledge among the population. Then you would have all the proof you needed of our existence.

Of course it never happened because of the foolish work of a few individuals when they destroyed the World Trade Center buildings.

We are hoping things may change for the better and a great meeting can take place. But I doubt it.

D: Why is that?

G: There are too many humans that have anti-social egotistical agendas that they will not deviate from.

I just read those two books of Krapf’s through your memory banks. He claims that 20% of humans are the bad ones; the ones who will do anything to have their own way, whether for greed or mistaken religious beliefs or you name it.

The population of the world is almost seven billion people. If 20% of them are causing all the mayhem that equates to 1.4 billion people.

Is it no wonder that Earth is in constant chaos? I don't think we have found any planet in any galaxy with that many troublemakers in its population.

By troublemakers I am including the so-called righteous religious leaders who lead terrorist groups and some of whom sexually prey on young people. I am including all the financial monsters who legally steal billions of dollars from hard working honest people.

D: So why do you still want to study us?

G: Because you are such a difficult people to understand. Every planet goes through the same phases and ends up a homogenous population of good people. If we can figure out what is wrong with Earth people maybe we can figure out how to convert your behaviors. It would be important for saving other planets.

D: What have you learned so far?

G: Remember we talked once before about the different races on Earth. I told you that was the result of different aliens causing the differing physical human biology by mixing of such diverse DNA.

We are considering making it a Federation offense to have more than one alien group intermingle DNA with a single planets’ population.

For some reason the large divergent population leads to chaos. It is doubtful we will ever be able to help you humans get together. I’m afraid that unless we can figure out what to do to help you, the result will be that you blow yourselves up.

It’s too bad that the 80% can’t control the 20%.

D: That certainly is a bleak picture of our future.

G: It doesn't have to be. Based on your past and how I would project that to your future, things don't look good. At least for a long time.

D: And time is one thing I don't have much of.

G: Bye.

D: Bye.

Cinco de Mayo

2009-05-05T22:31:00.000-07:00

Cinco de Mayo, that’s what the Mexicans call today. It means more to us in the United States than it does to the Mexicans. Contrary to popular belief, it is not Mexican Independence Day. It is merely a celebration of the Mexican army defeating the French army in the battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. It is mostly celebrated in the Mexican state of Puebla.

Mexican Independence Day is September 16, or dieciseis de septiembre. Doesn’t have the same ring to it as cinco de mayo. Maybe that’s why we don't celebrate it.

I asked the ETs once about holidays. They don't celebrate holidays like we do. They don't have days like we do. They have nothing to reference from year to year; they don't have years either.

I would be bored stiff if I lived 20,000 years without any holidays. But then, I’m not an ET.

I want to clean up some loose ends with Galen so I better get on the road.

Tuesday, May 5, 2009 6:43 p.m.

Duane: Galen.

Galen: Duane, hi.

D: I asked you a couple of days ago if you thought my wife and I had seen one of your spaceships. You said you would check it out. Did you find out anything?

G: It wasn’t one of ours. That doesn't mean it wasn’t an alien space ship. Someone else may have been bouncing around the sky that night.

D: You told me once before (see the blog archive for March 27, “Why Do UFOs Have Lights”) that your ships don't have outside lights. If we saw lights, wouldn’t that be proof we were not seeing an alien ship?

G: Not necessarily. You said you saw the ship about 10:15 at night. In Seattle at that time of night anything high in the sky could reflect sunlight and that could be what you saw.

When I told you none of the spaceships had lights, I was speaking from my limited knowledge. I don't know about everyone’s ships.

D: The day after that sighting I thought we had made an appointment for another sighting that evening. Nothing happened. I saw some stars come out, but that’s all.

If we are ever to do this again, we should plan on a daylight sighting. If your ships don't have lights I won’t be able to see them at night. It needs to be a daylight sighting.

Our days are unpredictable for a couple of weeks. If your people can predict when a good day may be ahead, let me know.

Have a good night.

G: Good-bye Duane.

ETs Don’t Use Money

2009-05-03T23:05:00.000-07:00

I’m not visiting Galen for a couple of days. I need to cool down. I got very upset with him and his proof of existence exercise. We had made an appointment, I thought, for the other night. I laid down on top of our hot tub cover so I could get a good look at the sky. I heard this terrible crack and thought a flying saucer had hit me. Actually, it was the hot tub lid cracking. I know, it was my fault for doing such a dumb thing.

I wouldn’t have minded at all, but nothing showed up in the sky. Watching the stars slowly show up was pretty awesome, but no UFOs. Unless one popped up while I was scurrying off of the hot tub.

I was looking through my travel journal and came across this journey from last year. It gives a little insight into how the ETs live.

Thursday, August 14, 2008 4:34 p.m.

Duane: Hi Galen.

Galen: Hi Duane.

D: You said once before that on your home planet you don't use money. You said you have a system that uses rewards and punishment. How does that work?

G: First of all, you must understand that we have a fundamentally different mode of living and thinking than you do.

To start with, we have just about everything someone could ask for. Everyone does. We don't have the huge populations that you do, so that isn't as difficult as it sounds.

If someone needs something that someone else has and has no immediate need for, the other person can take it. No problem. It is not stealing.

Understand, we don't have drug addicts who must steal to support their habits. There is no need for thieves because everyone has what they need and want. Basically, we don't need much.

People engage in special creative work for the sheer excitement of discovering something new and for the notoriety it brings them. If it is something they would like to have personally, they are the first to get it. That is a reward.

We don’t have jails; no one breaks the laws because we don't have any to break.

D: Sounds like a great place to live.

G: Our DNA has been studied and analyzed to the extent that we know everything about it. And by the way, we know a little about yours, too.

We don't have the strong sex drive that you do. We don’t need it. Our population stays fairly constant. No one gets sick. No one is dying. That means we don’t have any sex crimes.

D: Why didn’t you give us long lives so we could eliminate those kinds of problems?

G: When humans were created, we didn’t know about what it took to give you extended lives like ours. Different parts of your DNA is involved, it isn’t the same as ours. Unfortunately, humans were created with a lot of problems.

D: This is getting interesting, but I have to leave so I can write it down before I forget it.

I would like to talk to you about how I can prove your existence. (Note: I was working on this problem already last year.) If the Federation has relaxed their restrictions, maybe we can make something work. I feel it is important if we are to get people to believe some of the far out things your Federation people are going to be expounding on when I start talking to them.

Good night.

G: Good-bye.

Another note: I should read my journal more often. I couldn't find any places where I interviewed the Federation people. I must have the questions I was going to ask them somewhere in my notes.

Another time, Galen did tell me that maybe some day one of their scientists would be interested in working with our scientists to fix our DNA problems. At present no one had sufficient motivation to undertake the work.

I See a UFO

2009-05-01T00:27:00.000-07:00

Our weather is starting to clear. Maybe one of these days or nights the ETs will schedule a flyover.

My wife and I did see something strange tonight as I was driving her home from work. Of course, it was an unidentified flying object. It was flying and I couldn’t identify it. But was it an alien space ship. Ahh. There’s the rub.

Duane: Hello Galen.

Galen: Yes, hello Duane.

I tried to contact you this afternoon but you didn’t get my message.

D: Maybe I was taking a nap, or playing with my dog at the dog park. What did you want?

G: We were thinking tonight might be a good time for our proof exercise.

D: I’ve been thinking that might happen soon. We had a lot of clear skies today. I mentioned it to someone today. I said I hoped it would last a while.

G: Did you see anything today?

D: My wife and I saw something flying in the air tonight that seemed to be traveling too fast for an airplane. It had strange flashing lights that didn’t act like landing or flight lights on a commercial plane. They went blink on, blink on, short pause, blink on, blink on, long pause, and so on.

During the long pauses, the plane seemed to jump ahead. That was probably an illusion. It was like a strobe light effect on dancers’ movements at a dance.

This happened about 10:10 p.m. our time. That would be 0510 Greenwich Meant Time. I think they use the 24-hour clock.

The plane, or object, went from our left to right, as we were driving east. So I think it was traveling from the north to the south. It’s hard to tell because the road winds around a lot. In the Seattle area, none of our streets or highways are straight for any great distance.

Do you think I may have seen one of your ships?

G: I think it is possible. I will let you know tomorrow. Meanwhile, keep yourself open for contact from me.

D: Okay, but I take a nap about three o’clock. I mean 2200 GMT.

G: Would it upset you if I entered a dream while you were napping?

D: No. But I don't always remember my dreams.

You were telling me last night about some of the things you had done in your lifetime. Is there something that stands out as the most memorable?

G: Probably the first time I flew in one of our spacecraft. It is utterly amazing to fly so fast.

Inside the ship there is almost no difference in anything . You lose any concept of moving. We don't have to strap ourselves into seats like your astronauts do. The helmsman stands at his post and directs the ship.

You would think we were standing perfectly still until you looked outside.

D: What does it look like?

G: It’s hard to explain. It is almost as if everything disappeared except the destination you are aiming for. That is distinctly visible and quickly gets larger in size.

D: How do you prevent the ship from crashing into things, like meteors, space junk, comets, or whatever?

G: The beams we send out ahead of the ship include one that increases the vibrational rate of objects in our path so that they pass through us, or we pass through them. Take your choice.

D: Do you think we will ever build machines that can do what yours do?

G: Oh yes, if your scientists keep an open mind and record meticulously everything they see in their experiments. Anomalous events are sometimes so incredulous that the scientists’ minds can’t accept what their eyes are seeing, so it never gets recorded. But maybe some day…

D: Yeh, maybe some day I will see one of your ships and settle my own mind as to your existence.

G: Maybe you already have. Good-bye for now. I detect your mind starting to wander.

D: Yes, I need to leave. Good-bye.

An ET Grows Up

2009-04-30T00:37:00.000-07:00

Our skies are still cloudy. I feel like we are planning a D-day attack instead of a UFO flyover. Of course, it won't be a UFO if I know what I am looking at. I think the sun was out for about an hour today, but only in two or three minute increments throughout the day.

I’m going to let Galen lead our conversation tonight. My mind is a blank and I can't think.

Wednesday, April 29, 2009 11:11 p.m.

Duane: Hello Galen. It’s good to see you.

Galen: Hello Duane. It’s good to see you, too.

D: You must have some interesting things you could tell me about your life that I wouldn't know to ask you about.

G: Probably my entire life.

My first big learning experience was finding out how different I was from my mother. I was already walking and I happened to see my reflection in something. I saw my tiny mouth and my big eyes. My mother had a mouth and eyes more like you humans have. It was a long time before I fully understood how I was created and for what purpose. I was intended to be one of the astronauts.

I never cared for flying. I had a strong desire to learn as much as I could about different species. On our planet we didn't have animals or bugs to study so I studied our people.

After the equivalent of a few thousand of your years, I wanted to move on and study more exotic cultures. Because my body was well adapted for space travel I worked with real astronauts until I could fly long distances with them.

I have spent all of my life visiting planets everywhere. We have collected much data about many different species of people. Translate that word “people” however you want.

D: What are some of the strangest people you have found.

G: All of them. They are all different from me. People have been seeded throughout the universe. This planting of seed, as I call it, has been done by many different people.

Take Earth for example. You have people with different characteristics that were created by others that came from different planets. On these planets, they adapted to conditions that caused permanent changes to their physiology. They transmitted those changes to the new so-called humans that they created.

It wasn’t conditions on Earth that made all your different types of people; it was the different visitors from different planets.

D: Thanks Galen. It’s getting late, I have to leave.

G: Okay, see you.

Secret Bunkers

2009-04-28T23:41:00.000-07:00

I received a message from Galen this morning that he wanted me to contact him. I did, and I gave him my house coordinates so the ETs can find me. He didn’t think anything would happen for a day or two because of our cloudy weather, so I wait.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch…I’m getting bored out of my skull. I have asked Galen and GC just about every question I thought they could answer. In contacting them, I thought I would find out more technical answers to their spacecrafts’ operation and its power source. They either don't have the information or will not tell me. I have a suspicion that they’re up to more than they let on to me.

I’m going to ask Galen what he knows about the Denver Airport. That should stir things up a bit.

Tuesday, April 28, 2009 10:02 p.m.

Duane: Hi Galen. I‘m a little spacey tonight. My mind isn't too down-to-Earth. I feel a little reckless and would like to ask you a touchy question.

Galen: Yes, I can tell from reading your mind that you might be pushing things.

D: Okay, what do you know about the Denver Airport?

G: It’s a big airport.

D: It sure is. But Denver already had an airport. Why did they build a new one?

G: The mayor needed the money.

D: What do you mean by that?

G: He was paid handsomely to push development of the new site and to keep the real intent of the site a secret.

Do you know about the Greenbrier Resort? Of course you do. At least now you do. When the government needed a safe place for doing its business during a nuclear attack, the money people behind the government worked with the owners of the Greenbrier to build a secret bunker. The Greenbrier was, and is, owned by a railroad company, which in turn is owned by a very wealthy and influential family.

They conspired to remodel a wing of the resort to bury a large bombproof shelter beneath the new wing.

Can you see where I am going with this?

D: Yes, but why are you willing to give me so much information?

G: Because no one will believe you when you write about it.

D: Yes, I know. I don’t think anyone even reads what I write, no less believe it.

G: So the Greenbrier secret was outed in 1993 just as the Denver Airport new facilities were about to open. Do you believe in coincidences?

The Greenbrier bunker was disclosed by an investigative reporter. Do you suppose he just asked his congressman to tell him where all the secret bunkers were? I doubt it.

The truth is there was no need for the old facility because a new bigger and better one had been built.

I have never seen, or been in the new bunker but I have heard it has a very large underground area for research.

D: Why do I feel you aren’t telling me everything you know?

G: How’s the weather in Seattle?

D: Thanks. Good-bye.

Long Winded Aliens and Desert Sands

2009-04-27T23:54:00.000-07:00

I did my homework. I have the coordinates of my house thanks to Google Earth, and I know how to calculate Greenwich Mean Time from Pacific Daylight Time. GMT is seven hours ahead of us. Galen wanted those things to support our proof of existence exercise.

Monday, April 27, 2009 11:30 p.m. I travel to see Galen. I find him in his regeneration room.

Duane: Hello Galen. I think I could use some of your regeneration light.

Galen: Hello Duane: Are you still having gloomy spring weather?

D: Yes. The trees and flowers are all in bloom but they don’t look as bright as when the sun shines on them. Even so, they do make it more pleasant and easier to put up with the crummy weather.

I have the coordinates of my home for you and I know how to calculate Greenwich Mean Time from Pacific Daylight Time. I am ready whenever you are.

G: Good. I’ll be contacting you in the next couple of days. We need clear skies to make this work. Be ready to receive me when I come calling.

D: All right. I’m getting a little anxious about this. I hope we can make it work.

G: Try to stay calm. It will work better.

D: Thanks.

I would like to ask you about some reading I have been doing.

G: Go ahead.

D: I’ve been reading about some peoples meetings with extraterrestrials. The aliens they get information from seem long-winded. They get into some deep discussions, or rather discourses, on many abstract subjects. I don't get such long drawn out lectures from you. Why is that?

G: Are those people you are reading about English professors or philosophers?

D: I don't know. Would that make a difference?

G: It could. Any information that is received by one of you musts be interpreted using that individuals knowledge and experience. Some people enjoy using bigger and more complex words to describe subjects that are more abstract.

D: I used to be chastised for using complex language when writing proposals. I try to keep it simple now.

G: You also like more technical subjects, which are usually anything but abstract.

D: Philosophy always left me cold.

G: Do you like archeology?

D: Yes. Discovering hidden things, especially from historic times, has always fascinated me. I like detective stories and researching for the truth of something.

G: Did you know there are many hidden cities under the desert sands in many places on Earth?

D: You told me that once before. It would be exciting to go exploring there using some of our modern technology.

G: Perhaps someone will. Don't you wish you could live as long as me?

D: It will never happen. I have to leave. Good-bye Galen

G: Good-bye Duane.

Invisibility and Implants

2009-04-26T23:29:00.000-07:00

I have been doing some reading on other dimensions and I would like to ask Galen about them. But first I want to feel comfortable with him really being there when I think I am visiting.

Sunday, April 26, 2009 9:58 p.m. I travel to visit with Galen.

Duane: Hi Galen. How’s things coming with our proof project?

G: Hi Duane. We have general agreement that a sighting will be arranged for you. However, this is not meant to be an extravaganza. It is meant for your eyes only. If others see it by chance, so be it. They may not recognize what they are witnessing anyway.

I will contact you in a day or so and give you the details. I believe they want to use Greenwich Mean Time because of its universality, so brush up on its relationship to your time.

I don't know if they need your latitude and longitude coordinates, but it wouldn’t hurt for you to have them ready.

D: That is wonderful news. I will get prepared.

I have some questions about other dimensions. I really don't have any concept of anything beyond four dimensions, considering time as a dimension.

G: Time is not a dimension in the galactic sense of dimensions. Time is a human creation.

D: How do things exist in these other dimensions?

G: If there are more than four or five, I can’t help you. I’m not able to live in more than that.

The best way I can explain another dimension, or rather another reality, is that everything operates at a different frequency. We and our spaceship operate at a different frequency and enter another reality, or dimension if you prefer. That’s why we are usually not visible to you.

It’s also why we don’t heat up and burn up. We are beyond the frequencies of heat and fire.

D: If you are invisible, can you pass through walls?

G: Do radio waves pass through walls?

D: Of course. Some metals act as insulators and obstruct the signals.

G: What about neutrinos?

D: I have read that they pass through the Earth. They must pass through a simple wall.

G: When we are under the influence of the high frequency generator, we can pass through walls.

D: So when some humans say they have seen you people in their homes, they could be telling the truth?

G: Yes. But it is risky business. In most cases, they are probably seeing a projection of us.

D: What makes it so risky?

G: In order to be seen they must step out of the influence area. But in order to leave by returning through the wall, they have to find the influence area again and step back into it. That is not always easy to do.

D: Doesn’t that influence thing also make the wall it travels through invisible?

G: Yes. And that can cause problems with someone inadvertently seeing the effect. The human would come under the effect if they stepped into the beam and that could be very disconcerting.

D: More than once I have dreamt I was walking through a wall.

G: Are you sure you were dreaming?

D: I hope I was dreaming.

Can you tell me something about implants?

G: Like what?

D: Like why do you people use them on humans? More specifically, are you using one on me. I have a lump in my mouth on the inside of my left cheek. It never hurts and it never changes its size.

I first noted the lump a couple of years ago and I asked an oral surgeon about it. She told me to leave it alone unless it causes me a problem.

It only dawned on me recently that this thing could be one of your implants. It just showed up one day.

G: I suppose it could be. Do you want me to find out for you?

D: That would be great. And I would like to know what it is for, if that’s not asking too much. Maybe I should have it removed.

G: I’ll see what I can find.

D: Now I must leave. I’ll be looking forward to your contacting me about that proof project.

G: Good-bye Duane.

D: Yes, good-bye Galen.

Proof of Extraterrestrials Existence

2009-04-25T23:49:00.000-07:00

I must be a coward at heart. I am afraid to ask my extraterrestrial friend Galen about my request for some proof of his existence.

However, as someone has said, nothing ventured, etc, etc.

Saturday, April 25, 2009 10:43 p.m. I check in with Galen.

Duane: Hello Galen. I want to ask how you are, but I know better. You are always fine, or well, and don't like to be asked.

Galen: Yes. Hello Duane.

D: How do you aliens greet each other?

G: We don’t. We are pretty much into each other’s head before we ever see each other. Most of our communication is done at a distance. There is almost no reason to meet physically. Of course, it is always nice to see someone. Usually our greeting is just the equivalent of saying hi.

D: Have you heard anything about my request for proof of your existence?

G: There is some disagreement as to whether you are to be given hard evidence. There was some discussion about affecting some piece of your property. Like maybe burning a hole in your lawn. That was discarded for fear of causing unintentional damage to something.

They are now considering bringing one of our ships close enough for you to see or maybe even photograph. That may satisfy you, but critics would maintain it was all faked or made up.

D: Right now, I am not concerned about satisfying critics. I am only thinking of myself. That sounds selfish, but I have a need to settle my own mind. I need to know that you and I can have an agreement that something will be done. When it happens, I will be satisfied.

If it can be expanded some day to give undeniable proof to others, that would be great. But I think that is for the future.

G: All right. I will tell them you would be satisfied with a sighting. That will take some coordination.

D: Can your people navigate by our system of longitude and latitude?

G: I will find out.

D: If they can, I will give you the coordinates of my home.

How will we establish a time for this to happen? Can your people use a clock oriented to our time, or maybe to Greenwich Mean Time?

G: I think they can.

D: This is getting more complicated than I expected.

G: I think we can handle it.

D: Do I detect a smile in your voice?

G: Good-bye Duane.

D: Good-bye Galen.

Is There Life After Death?

2009-04-24T21:56:00.000-07:00

These extraterrestrials have access to more information than us humans could ever imagine. I have read that they can operate in dimensions that are beyond our understanding. Of course, humans wrote all the things I have read. Even if the information was given to the humans correctly, the humans may have made errors in translation.

In the ETs sojourns to other dimensions, I wonder if they ever came across the souls of entities that have died. That would be a good question for me to pose to my ET friend Galen.

Friday, APRIL 24, 2009 8:02 P.M. I concentrate on traveling to meet Galen. I find him in his book lined reading room.

Duane: Hello Galen. I have a question for you tonight about death.

Galen: Hello Duane. Well, isn’t that a joyous subject.

D: Maybe it could be. Do you have any knowledge about what happens to us, either humans or aliens, after we die?

G: The quick answer is no.

D: Okay, what’s the long answer? Do you have ideas of your own about life after death?

G: We don't have the same familiarity with death that you humans do.

D: Does that mean we know more about death than you do?

G: By no means. I think you care more about it, that is, you have more concerns about it, than we do. Our lives are so long that we seldom come into contact with death of our own kind.

We have seen many different species on many different planets. They handle death in many different ways. The one universal over-riding concept that pervades all sentient beings is that ultimate and complete cessation of life does not exist.

There is something in every living thing that differentiates it from non-living things. That is called a soul by some people. When the body wears out and must be put away, the soul lives on and enters another dimension.

D: Is this something you actually know, or is it just speculation on your part?

G: By speculation, do you mean it is based on incomplete evidence?

D: That sounds good.

G: Then that is the answer. No one I know of has ever died and come back to tell us what life is like in that other dimension.

D: Years ago I read a book called The Unobstructed Universe, by Stewart Edward White. He claimed his dead wife contacted him through a medium, a psychic, and told him about life where she continued to live. It was certainly a convincing book.

G: If you trust him as an honest writer, then he is telling you the best information that he believes he has on the subject. His wife didn't come back to this life, as we know it, so it is still speculation or conjecture.

D: If it is true that our soul lives on, but in a dimension that operates at a different frequency, isn't it possible for one of the dead souls and one of us to alter our mental frequencies so that we can meet a common point where we can communicate?

G: Probably. To a great extent that is what you and I are doing. The difference is that we are both in the same dimension. If you were here physically you would see me and could hold my hand. I only have to adjust my thoughts slightly so that you can receive them.

D: You’ve got me thinking I want to read White’s book again. I still have it. All I have to do is blow off about thirty years of dust.

G: Sounds like a winner to me.

D: Thanks. I have to leave. Good-bye.

G: Good-bye Duane.

No Proof Yet But Who Cares

2009-04-22T23:19:00.000-07:00

I’m sitting here scratching my dogs’ back. He won’t let me alone. When I stop, he nudges me with his cold nose. Good thing I only need one hand to write.

I don't suppose Galen has had enough time to do all the consulting he must go through to get all the permissions to give me some proof of his, or their, existence. It certainly can’t hurt for me to ask.

Wednesday, April 22, 2009 10:47 p.m. I travel to visit Galen, my ET friend.

Duane: Hello Galen. For a moment there, I thought you weren’t in your chair.

Galen: Hello Duane. I’m here. No one has got to me yet. I can tell you are wondering about progress I’ve made in our project to get you some proof that you aren’t making all this up.

D: Yes. It certainly helps speed things up when you read my mind like this.

G: For some things I don't have to read your mind. I can guess what you want.

I haven't received any negative comments yet. My people back on my home planet are conferring now with the federation authorities. They will work something out if they approve.

I know you want something you can hold in your hand, but you may have to settle for a view of one of our ships. Or it could be something else.

D: Okay. I can be patient.

I would like to ask you some more about your long life. Well, long compared to mine.

Are you ever in a hurry to get something done? You have so much more time to accomplish something than I have.

G: That’s true. We never look at things like you do. We don't consider time as a factor in anything.

You humans are obsessed with time. You say you travel so many miles in an hour. You say light can only travel so many miles in an hour. Everything you work with has time somewhere in its calculations.

I believe one reason you are so limited in your understanding of the laws of physics is because you have calculated that only so much can happen in any specific period of time.

We don't look at things with time as a factor. I think that is why we have been able to ignore something like the speed of light. That has no meaning for us and therefore is not a limitation on us.

D: Do you have a concept of yesterday, today, and tomorrow?

G: You are using the concept of days when you say that. We have no such thing as days, except what we see in our travels. And every planet is different.

I was brought up in a place where things just are. We do something and it gets done. When I am doing something, I am just doing something. I am not under any pressure to get something done by a certain time because that time doesn’t exist.

For example, when you find me, we talk. If someone else finds me, we talk. Maybe two or three of you find me simultaneously. That’s fine. We talk. I don't have to make you wait in line to get an appointment to see me. Waiting implies using time. It has no meaning to me. Either I do something, or I don't.

D: I am having a difficult time-- oops, there it is again-- understanding the concept of no time.

How do you prevent your vehicles from having terrible accidents if you don't measure speed and have speed limits?

G: We design them so they stay out of each other’s way. How quickly we get somewhere is dependent on conditions. And if it takes a long time, who cares. We get there when we get there.

D: I have to leave so I can think about this. Good-bye.

G: Good bye Duane. Have a good time.

(I’m sure I just heard a chuckle.)

I Need Proof the Aliens Exist

2009-04-21T23:38:00.000-07:00

When I first started meeting with Galen many years ago, I asked him for some kind of proof that he was real and not a figment of my imagination.

Nothing ever came of my request, even after many tries on my part to get something tangible from him.

I have been writing this blog for several months. I have received a lot of interesting information. However, tonight the engineer in me is screaming for some kind of evidence that these trips are actually taking place. I want proof that I am actually talking to an alien extraterrestrial in some secret bunker located somewhere in the United States.

I was told that the ETs are willing to release information. Great. Why should we believe anything that could just as well be a product of my overactive subconscious?

I’ve got to press Galen for some help here. Call me a doubting Thomas if you will, but I’ve got to have some kind of proof I can touch with my hands, look at with my real eyes, and put up on a shelf in my office.

Tuesday, April 21, 2009 10:20 p.m. I travel to see Galen.

Duane: Hello Galen.

Galen: Yes. Hello Duane. Look into my eyes.

D: Okay, I’m looking.

G: I detect some concern on your mind. What’s up?

D: I have asked you many times for some kind of proof that you really exist. So far nothing has materialized. I am having a terrible problem with myself. I am about to blow this whole thing away as a foolish escapade of my subconscious.

G: Don't do that. We have been working under the belief that anyone who was favorable to your writings wouldn’t need any proof. Critics couldn't be helped to believe if I sat down and had a cup of coffee with them. Which I can’t because I can’t drink. Translate that statement another way.

D: Too late. I already wrote it. I haven’t had anyone question the validity of our conversations. It isn’t interested readers I am concerned about. It is me. I have reached a point where I feel enough is enough. I want something tangible to prove to myself that you exist.

You have said before that your human handlers would never allow you to post a letter or in any way let anything get out of here. But you also have told me that you regularly communicate with your friends and family.

Isn't it possible for you to also communicate with someone on an operating spaceship? One that isn’t controlled by our government.

G: Yes. But there are a couple of problems. If I was to ask them to do something, such as visit you and give you some physical object, I would first need approval of some higher galactic authority.

Also, if any of the people in charge of this facility heard about this, probably from reading your blog, I might be in danger.

Of course, there is always the possibility that the government is willing to let information out. After all, just because you received something from us doesn't mean you can prove to anyone else where you got it.

D: Right now I only want to have proof for myself. What can you do for me?

G: I will first see what permissions I need to proceed. Maybe my galactic authorities will have some suggestions.

Then we will see what happens. If you can't visit me some day, you will know what your government thinks about this.

I am taking a big risk here. I am doing this because I believe the federation wants to begin to make it known that we exist.

D: I didn’t consider what a sacrifice I may be putting you through. I am considering tearing this paper up and forgetting about our conversation tonight.

G; No. Don’t do that. I’ve had a good long life. Let’s see what happens.

D: Thanks Galen. I think I am going to owe you in a big way. Good-bye.

G: Good-bye Duane.

Length of Life is Relative

2009-04-20T23:43:00.000-07:00

Maybe we can stick to the subject of long life tonight. I really want to know what Galen’s thoughts are on this subject. I’ll try again.

Monday, April 20, 2009 10:09 p.m. I travel to visit my ET friend Galen. I am calling him my friend from force of habit. I have no way of knowing if this is true. He may be using me, or is going to use me, for his own purposes.

I find him in his regeneration room.

Duane: Hello Galen. Do I need to look into your eyes?

Galen: Hello Duane. Yes. I am here with someone else, but I can talk to both of you at once. How’s that for multi-tasking. It would be like you talking on two telephones at the same time.

D: I would have a problem doing that. Although some of my grandkids could probably send text messages on two cell phones at the same time.

I want to ask you about your long life.

G: What would you like to know?

I will give you something to think about. I don't consider that I have a long life. To me my lifetime is normal. Just like to you, your life span is normal.

You consider my life as extremely long. That is a little like a fruit fly asking you, if it could speak, what your long life is like. Fruit flies only live about two of your months. Your average life span is 400 to 500 times that of the fruit fly.

Don't you suppose those flies have a lot of living to do in that short time?

D: I would imagine that they must not live anywhere near as complex a life as a human must.

G: And I would imagine you must not live anywhere near as complex a life as I do.

Some humans take on one job and one way of life for their entire lives, of say 75 years or so. The last part of those years is probably spent in retirement.

If I were to spend that amount of time in a single occupation and then stop, learn a new craft or profession and then continue on for another 75 years, I could have as many as two to three hundred different occupations in my lifetime.

D: So have you?

G: No. I have enjoyed traveling around this galaxy for most of my life. I don't seem to ever tire of the new discoveries.

Occasionally I have been stranded in one place for an extended period. Like here. But that is a great opportunity to study some of you close up over a long time.

D: I have wondered if your ship crash could have been planned.

G: No. It was a terrible accident. We lost several of our crewmembers. However, we are always prepared for such a situation. That’s why I was on board. I’m not strictly an astronaut. I am trained to study people. In your words, you could call me an anthropologist. That is close to what I do.

D: Do some of you change jobs more frequently?

G: Of course. Not all of us are the same. We have differing personalities, just like humans.

You know, you humans and us astronauts have a lot in common. We both have been created for a purpose in support of our creators.

The first humans looked on our scientists as Gods of a sort. I suppose that was only natural. Your scientists are starting to do the same thing with human DNA. Does that make your scientists Gods?

D: I don't think so. I believe there is still an ultimate creator. The one God who created everything. If that God wanted to make our DNA unchangeable then it would have been so. But our DNA is changeable. God wanted it so.

G: Very good. Nothing has changed. You are getting a larger view of the bigger picture.

D: I hope so. I have to go Galen. Good-bye.

G: Good-bye Duane.

ETs Meddle with Humans

2009-04-19T22:49:00.000-07:00

I think I may have asked Galen about his long life before. My days seem to go by so fast that I can’t help but wonder how time affects him.

Sunday, April 19, 2009 9:44 p.m. I close my eyes and travel to meet Galen.

Duane: Hello Galen.

Galen: Hello Duane. Come around and look into my eyes.

D: You’re having a meeting that may be disturbing?

G: Yes. You would be surprised at the number of people that seek relief from their problems. For some reason they believe I am something like God and can solve their situations and make them well. I can’t, anymore than you can.

D: But you have access to such advanced technology that you could use.

G: It’s true we have advanced diagnostic equipment to help us with our few illnesses. But it has been designed for us and won't work with all the diseases and sickness you humans have.

We have another problem. Most of our equipment was destroyed in our crash.

D: Can’t you contact friends that are in operating space ships and get them to help.

G: Now you’re getting into an area that we have been told to stay away from. Too much interference from us will slow down your own advancement in medical and technical endeavors.

D: So even if you could, you wouldn't help us?

G: We have probably done too much already. Things you have found in some of our crashed ships have put you far ahead of where you would have been following a natural course of events.

Luckily, the results have not been drastically detrimental. But just think what would happen if we explained to you how to travel at ten times the speed of light. No one on Earth could handle the consequences. Your entire way of life would be disrupted. You must find those things out for yourselves so your entire being can accommodate the new paradigms.

D: Haven’t you interfered with our development in the past? I have read about great advancements that seemed to develop overnight in early Sumeria. Didn’t you help with that?

G: Not me personally, but some of us did. We got too involved and were only considering ourselves. We didn’t look at the long range effects our work would have.

D: I’m losing my concentration Galen. I have to leave. Good-bye.

G: Good-bye Duane.

So much for good intentions. I’ll ask him about his long life some other time. I’m sure he has plenty of time, although maybe I should be in a hurry.

Levitating Stones and Rocks

2009-04-19T00:07:00.000-07:00

There is a mysterious place in Florida called The Coral Castle. A Latvian man named Ed Leedskalin created it. He was a very small man. He was only five feet tall and weighed about a hundred pounds.

The mystery involves the huge coral rocks he used to build his castle. Some weighed as much as twenty and thirty tons. Leedskalin moved the rocks without using any special equipment.

He claimed he used the same methods the Egyptians used in building the pyramids. He refused to tell anyone how he did it because he didn’t want the government to get his secret. He did say that anyone could learn how to do it.

There are people who claim to have seen monks who have moved large stones by humming in unison.

I wonder if there is a connection between these two things and if Galen knows anything about such a process.

Saturday, April 18, 2009 8:53 p.m. I concentrate on visiting Galen. I come across him in his reading room.

Duane: Hello Galen.

Galen: Hello Duane.

D: There is something that has bothered me for a long time and I would like to ask you about it.

G: Of course.

D: Is it possible for a person, or for several people, to levitate a large rock weighing several thousand pounds without using special equipment? I have read about a Mr. Ed Leedskalin who claimed to know how to do it.

G: I will tell you what I know about lifting heavy things.

We have a mechanism for lifting objects. I probably shouldn't call it a mechanism. It is more like a beam of energy.

The highly directional beam is directed at, and focused on, the object to be levitated. At the molecular level and below, the object enters a state where the particles are vibrating too fast to be affected by gravity waves. For all intents and purposes the object loses its weight. It does not lose its mass or its physical shape.

Does that help you?

D: Yes and no. You described a method that you people use to raise objects but I don’t think Mr. Leedskalin had your specific capabilities. Nor did the monks I have heard about who hummed to raise stones. What about them?

G: If an electrical or magnetic field could be established around an object and tuned to the objects frequency, I suppose it could overcome the gravity waves.

Your monks certainly didn’t use those kind of waves, but if their humming was tuned to a proper frequency I suppose it could be used in the same manner.

D: What kind of energy beam do you use?

G: I don't know how it works. The physics behind it is more than I ever cared to know. Have you ever used a laser pointer? Or how about a microwave oven?

D: Yes. Those are both great inventions.

G: How do they work?

D: I just press a button and they go on.

G: Precisely. You don't have to know how something works in order to use it.

D: And I thought I might be able to go home and build a machine to levitate rocks.

G: Apparently Leedskalin did. Do you think he may have destroyed it before he died?

D: I don't know. We don't know if he even had a machine. But I’m going to try humming at some rocks.

G: Let me know how it works out.

D: Okay. Good-bye for now.

G: Good-bye Duane.

Living Underwater

2009-04-18T00:21:00.000-07:00

I read some place that there are planets where a person could breathe underwater without using special apparatus, like scuba tanks. I want to ask Galen if he knows of such a place.

Friday, April 17, 2009 11:17 p.m. I concentrate on visiting Galen, wherever he is tonight.

Duane: Hello Galen. I’m not sure if I should look into your eyes or not.

Galen: Hello Duane. You better look into my eyes. There are several communications taking place that I don't think you would want to get involved in. You need to concentrate on you and me tonight.

D: Okay. In your many travels around the galaxies have you ever been on a planet where people could swim or travel or even live under water without using special breathing equipment?

G: Define people.

D: I am using the term in a general way. I mean any form of extraterrestrial race as well as humans.

G: Let’s leave humans out for a moment.

I have been on a planet where there was so much water, that the inhabitants developed gill like organs that allowed them to take oxygen out of the water, similar to fish on Earth. These individuals could also breathe air and live on land.

They won't be visiting Earth soon. They are much less advanced technologically than humans.

D: This article I read said there were planets where a human could go and they could stay under water without using external equipment or air tanks. What do you think?

G: I think you may have mis-read the article. How could going to another planet allow a human to breathe under water? Remember, there is no such thing as magic in reality.

Humans can get oxygen without using their lungs to breathe air when they are babies in their mothers’ womb. The oxygen comes from their mother through the umbilical cord. Actually, the blood circulates through the cord and the oxygen is transferred at an interface in the womb.

Do you think those humans you read about are being plugged into some oxygen generator connected to their navel where the umbilical cord was attached? Alternatively, maybe they have a way to generate gills.

D: I don’t know. The article made it sound like I could stay under water without using anything but what I had.

G: Maybe the fluid wasn’t water. Scientists on Earth have created a chemical mixture that looks like water. It is clear like water. They can put a mouse in the fluid and the mouse can breathe. I’m not familiar enough with it to know the chemical formula or mixture.

I suppose something like that could be possible on some planet. I have never heard of such a place. But like I have said before..

D: Yes. I know. You don't know everything.

G: Yes.

D: And you aliens aren’t magicians. You live by the same physical laws we do, only you know more about them than we do.

G: Yes. You’re learning.

D: I would like to learn some of those advanced laws.

G: I’m not the one to teach you. Maybe some day you can visit our scientists.

D: I probably couldn't translate or understand what they would tell me. I have to leave. Good-bye Galen.

G: Good-bye Duane. Don’t spend too much time under water.

D: Thanks.

Extraterrestrial Robots

2009-04-16T23:40:00.000-07:00

A few days ago I asked Galen about pets on his planet. He said they had robots for pets. I wonder if they use robots for anything else.

Thursday, April 16, 2009 10:27 p.m. I travel to visit Galen.

Duane: Hello Galen. How are you? I am feeling distracted tonight. I need to look into your eyes.

Galen: Hello Duane. It’s good to see you, as usual.

D: You mentioned having pet robots back home. Do you use robots for anything else. I am mostly interested in around your home.

G: We don’t have any need for a robot in our home.

Let’s take a closer look at my home. We talked about this before.

I don't eat, so I have no use for one of your kitchens. You have a robot of sorts to do your dishes. You call it an automatic dishwasher. Wouldn’t you like to have a robot make your meals and clean up after? I don't need any of that. Some of your people have maids for those chores. I don't need a robot to clean up the kitchen because I don't have a kitchen.

I don't sleep, so I don't have a bedroom. I have no need for a robot to make my bed that I don't have.

The few clothes I wear on our cold times, I merely hang in the closet. It is equipped with a high frequency cleaning system that refreshes them with little effort.

When I am home, I get most of my pleasure from communicating with friends or collecting information from our huge central data banks. I don't want a robot to do that.

I don't have a bathroom, for obvious reasons. So there is nothing to clean up there.

What would I use a robot for?

D: Don’t you have a yard, or some area around your home that needs grass cut or weeds pulled?

G: I thought I explained to you that we have no plant life. There also is very little loose soil to blow around so we don’t get dirty.

D: Now I have another question. You breathe air like we do. That must mean that you require oxygen to live. Doesn’t your body put out carbon dioxide as a by-product?

G: Yes. Not on the level that yours does, though.

D: Okay. I thought trees were needed to convert carbon dioxide back into oxygen.

G: Our scientists created machines for that a long time ago.

D: I am starting to understand why you enjoy visiting other planets. It must be nice to see so many new and interesting things in your travels.

G: Yes. But it is always nice to come home, no matter how humble.

D: I thoroughly understand. I worked with a fellow who once was explaining about his recent trip to eastern Washington. He said the scenery there was absolutely wonderful.

I had been there and I found it boring. It was mostly desert or rolling hills with nothing on them stretching for miles in all directions. I couldn't wait to get out of there.

I asked him where he was from before he moved to Seattle. He said he grew up in that area.

That explained everything to me. Eastern Washington was his real home and he looked at the desolation from a totally different perspective.

G: There is something comforting about familiarity.

D: I agree. I have to say good-bye and return to the familiar comfort of my desk.

G: Good-bye Duane.

Another Look at Astrology and Horoscopes

2009-04-15T23:52:00.000-07:00

Galen gave me his thoughts on astrology last night, and he said others may have different ideas about it. That started me thinking about who might be a further source of information. Besides the Internet.

Hurmn is associated with the universe at the galactic level. Perhaps he would have a broader concept of astrology.

I hesitate to contact him because he must have more pressing things to do than spend time with me. But, like someone said, nothing ventured—you know.

Wednesday, April 15, 2009 10:45 p.m. I concentrate on travelling to visit Hurmn, the representative from the Galactic Federation.

Hurmn: Hello there Duane.

Duane: Hello Hurmn. Could I impose on you for a little of your time to answer some questions I have about astrology?

H: Of course. We don't call it astrology, but I know what you are thinking of. What would you like to know?

D: I wonder what you think of it. Is there any scientific basis to it?

H: What do you think about God? Is there any scientific basis for such a being?

D: Are you saying there is a connection?

H: Just answer my question, yes or no.

D: No. I don't believe the scientists can prove God’s existence.

H: We have talked about God before in relation to the universe.
God is everywhere. God is in everything and everything is a part of God.

Doesn't that make everything inter-connected?

D: Yes. I suppose it does.

H: Then if something happens to one part of this huge entity we call God, it is possible that could have an effect on some other part.

For example, if God were in the form of a human and He stubbed His toe, He would feel a pain in His head. I’m trying to put this in a form that you can visualize.

Now, how could astrology be explained using the picture I just gave you?

D: I suppose the stars and planets could have an affect on me, because we are all tied together and we are all parts of the one God.

H: Yes. It is more complex than that, but you have the basic concept.

People have studied the relative locations of planets and stars and have recorded things that have happened at specific times. They then used that history to predict future events.

Those predictions are not always accurate and are many times self-fulfilling.

Many things influence future events in addition to the relative locations of things in the universe. I wouldn’t want to spend my life tied to something someone told me about a star a great distance away.

However, if it helps one to understand ones self, then use it. However, it’s just a tool, and only as good as the person using it.

D: Thanks Hurmn. I need to think about this some more before I ask any more questions. Good-bye.

H: Good-bye Duane, and don't be fearful of contacting me. You don't bother me. I am good at what you call multi-tasking.

Astrology and Horoscopes

2009-04-14T23:16:00.000-07:00

I have to admit I have a little bit of an interest in astrology, especially when the predictions I read are favorable. I have never had my horoscope prepared, except once at a county fair.

I paid a fellow a dollar (this was about thirty five years ago.) He put a bunch of IBM cards into a sorter after asking me my birthday. Soon he reached into a bin and pulled out a bunch of cards that he used to print out my horoscope. Of course, it sounded good. However, I have often wondered what kind of truth could be in it when done for real.

I wonder if my ET friend Galen has studied astrology and has anything to say about it.

Tuesday, April 14, 2009 10:06 p.m. I concentrate on travelling to visit Galen.

DUANE: Hi Galen. It looks a little dark in here tonight. What’s up?

Galen: I must not be doing enough exercise. I feel a bit full so I turned down the lights to allow my body to calm down.

D: Kind of like resting after a big meal.

G: Yes. That’s a good way to put it. What’s on your mind tonight.

D: You must have done a lot of studying of things in the universe and how they interact. Have you heard of something we call astrology and how it’s used to prepare horoscopes for people?

G: Yes. What do you want to know about it?

D: Is there anything to it?

G: Of course there is something to it. Many people make their living off of it. There has to be something there for them to do that.

D: But what is there about it. Does it work?

G: If you truly believe it, then it has a better chance of working. It’s like psychosomatic medicine. If you believe your doctor when he tells you to take a certain pill and you will get well, you probably will get well. At least you have a better chance of getting well than if you don't trust your doctor and think he is only out to get your money.

I like looking at the big picture. One reason people don't do well in life is because they are afraid of taking chances. When opportunities come to them, many people pass the opportunities by because they fear success and believe it can never happen to them.

Let's say they believe in astrology and have an astrologist make up a horoscope. They ask if they should undertake this new endeavor. What happens if the astrologist says yes, do it starting on next Monday at 10:30 in the morning. That is an opportune time and will give you success.

That may be all that person needs to get them started. Now they don't have to believe in themselves. They put their trust in the hands of the astrologer. They do something that they never would have considered doing before seeing the astrologer.

I would say that is a good thing.

D: What about the horoscopes that tell all sorts of things about you.

G: Everyone is eager to hear good things about themselves. Your ego says all that good stuff must be true. Here’s my twenty bucks, or probably fifty bucks.

It costs so much it must be true.

D: So you’re saying that astrology has a purpose as a tool to help people make decisions but it doesn't have any basis in reality.

G: Be careful. You are starting to believe everything I tell you. I’m not the genius who has the answer to everything. I’ve just been around a while and have my own ideas and opinions on things. If you ask someone else these same questions, you will probably get another answer.

D: Okay. That’s good enough for me tonight. I have to go. Good-bye Galen, and thanks.

G: Good-bye Duane, and you’re welcome.

Inhabitants of Other Planets

2009-04-14T00:25:00.000-07:00

Galen told me that he and his fellow travelers enjoy visiting other planets in the universe. He should have some interesting stories to tell.

Monday, April 13, 2009 11:14 p.m. I’m off to visit my ET friend Galen.

Duane: Hello Galen. How’s the books?

Galen: Hello Duane. I just finished the last book in the Encyclopedia Britannica series. Interesting stuff.

D: You sound like an old friend of mine who read two complete encyclopedias and remembered every word and picture on every page. I suppose you remember it all.

G: Yes. What would you like to know?

D: Nothing from the encyclopedias. I have Google for those things.

I would like to ask you about some of the other planets you have visited. First of all, how many other planets are inhabited?

G: I think you mean inhabited by intelligent beings like you and me.

D: Yes. Do you have any idea how many there are?

G: No. I have only visited three or four that had intelligence as something more sophisticated than a wild four legged animal.

On some planets I have heard about, there are beings that are still in the very primitive stages of growth. It is interesting to follow their progress over hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions of years. I am using your definition of a year.

I don't mean to imply that I have followed people's progress for millions of years. Even we don't live that long. We pass the information on to each succeeding generation.

D: What are people like on other planets?

G: They are very similar to us, you and me. We believe that all intelligent life began with somewhat the same properties from some beginning creative source. You can call that source nature or the ultimate creator or God or whatever designation you care to use. On that subject, we don’t know any more than you humans know. We believe in one source because that’s the only way we can account for similarities in people on planets billions of miles apart.

D: Are you saying we are all alike?

G: No. We are all similar. Differing conditions on each planet cause different characteristics to be emphasized or deemphasized. On some of the more advanced planets, DNA manipulation has resulted in people with traits and abilities that were deemed important by those people.

Some planets have very poor food supplies but do have access to light from their sun star. The people living there tend to be like us astronauts and don't eat.

Planets that have intelligent life also tend to be similar in environment conditions. That also lends itself to creating similar beings.

D: Do we all look alike?

G: Facial features tend to be similar but not the same. Most characteristics are just plain practical. Things like two eyes to see relative distance between two objects.

We have two ears to locate sound sources. More than two of these would be nice. You know, to have a spare, so to speak. But, what about three or four eyes? They would give no real additional ability but would be a tremendous burden on the body and brain to use and maintain.

Everything we have seems to have been created with efficiency and necessity in mind.

If you expect me to tell you there are six armed people walking around on eight legs on some planet, I’m afraid you are going to be disappointed. Some people may have six fingers, or only three fingers, like some of our astronauts. But we all have two arms and hands.

D: Thank you Galen for all the info. It’s getting late. I have to leave. Good-bye.

G: Good-bye Duane. Thanks for stopping by.

Predictions for 2012

2009-04-12T23:30:00.000-07:00

Several months ago, I met an ET who is a representative of the Galactic Federation. His name is Hurmn. He pronounces it Herman. I have been meaning to ask Hurmn about the year 2012. Does it have any significance and if so, what is it?

Sunday April 12, 2009 10:29 p.m. I concentrate on travelling to visit Hurmn. I find him in a large room that has huge glass walls leading to a view of the outside. He is wearing a white robe that I think is the garb of Federation representatives.

Duane: Hello Hurmn. May I intrude on you to ask some questions?

Hurmn: Hello Duane. Of course. What would you like to know?

D: The year 2012 has created a lot of interest among humans on Earth. All sorts of things are being predicted to happen on that day in December, 2012 when the Mayan calendar ends. Some people think that will be the end of the Earth. What can you tell me about that date.

H: Duane, if you could step back and look at Earth from my viewpoint you would get a better perspective on everything.

D: Can’t I just imagine I am out in space looking at Earth?

H: Of course. Now think back to the year 2000. Do you remember what people were saying would happen?

D: They said all sorts of things would happen. Most of the furor was around the computer software problems caused by the date change itself. Those problems were blown way out of proportion and almost nothing happened.

Some people predicted the millennium was a turning point in everything from religion to the environment.

H: And what happened?

D: Nothing. We had a lot of good New Years parties.

H: Precisely. As you stand in space looking at Earth the first thing you see is a ball rushing around the sun. I would defy you to tell me when one day ended and another began. When would you choose to end a year as the Earth swung around the sun?

Those time references are man made. Humans created the years, and the days and nights. In the bigger reality, none of those things exists. The Earth just is. In reality, there was no such thing as a year 2000. That human creation has no meaning in the bigger picture of the cosmos.

D: I can see that.

H: Good. Now what do you think will happen when 2012 comes?

D: Probably nothing that isn't happening today.

H: Right. 2012 is an arbitrary number assigned to an arbitrarily created concept of something you call a year. In reality, it doesn't exist and has no meaning. If you are still around in 2012 you will be getting up every morning, eating your breakfast and going to bed every night complaining that the time flew by you. Then it will be 2013. You can have some fun with that number, too.

D: Thanks Hurmn. I appreciate your taking the time to talk to me.

H: You are very welcome. Good-bye Duane.

D: Good-bye Hurmn.

ET Communication Speed

2009-04-09T22:09:00.000-07:00

I have spoken to Galen before about how they travel. He isn’t too technically inclined, so I save technology questions for my more technical ET friend GC. They have all reminded me that they are not physicists or engineers. Just because they fly a very sophisticated craft doesn’t mean they know all the physics behind its operation. I know they could never build a space ship.

Perhaps GC can answer a question I have about the speed of their communication. I will check in with him.

Thursday, April 9, 2009 4:53 p.m. I concentrate on traveling to GC. I find him working on their space ship.

Duane: Hello GC. I see you are busy on the ship, as usual. Before we start, I want to tell you I am using a little different way of handling our conversation. I am writing it down as we speak rather than waiting until the trip is over. I don't forget as much this way, although it may slow us down a little.

GC: Hello Duane. Whatever works for you is agreeable to me. We are not in a hurry to get this work completed.

D: Good, I mean about my new way of writing not your, you know. I would like to ask you something about your methods of communicating.

GC: Go ahead.

D: It was either you or Galen who told me you check in with your friends and family back home on a regular basis. Someone has asked me how that is possible. If your home is, say, 85 light years away and you say Hi Mom, she won't get the message for 85 years and her answer will take another 85 years to get back to you. That doesn't sound like a very good way of communicating.

GC: It isn’t, so we don’t communicate that way. You are pre-supposing that we use your limited means of communication. We don't. I think I told you once before that we aren’t limited by the speed of light. Of course, neither are you. You just haven’t figured out how to use advanced physics yet.

Our communications are very close to instantaneous. We use capabilities that most humans haven’t even dreamed about. Instantaneous communication over extremely long distances is one of them.

I have a problem with comparing my idea of instantaneous to yours. What may seem like a few seconds delay to you, is instantaneous to me. You and I have differing concepts of time.

D: I understand. To even consider communicating many light years in just a few seconds is mind boggling to me.

Is your physical traveling as fast as your communications?

GC: Almost. We are still working on that. We travel fast, but there are some problems we need to work out with our ship’s materials and with our bodies. Right now, we are not able to withstand those speeds without falling apart, literally. That doesn't mean that someone else on some other planet hasn’t figured it out. It’s just that we haven’t.

Why don't you contact someone from a different planet and see what they have to say?

D: I’m leery of that. I have been lucky in finding someone as friendly and non-confronting as you fellows have been. I don't want to press my luck. Maybe some day.

Thanks for the info GC. I have to leave. Good-bye.

GC: Good-bye Duane.

Can Aliens See the Future?

2009-04-09T00:15:00.000-07:00

One of the alien ETs, I forget which one, offered to give me long life in exchange for my not writing a book about them. I declined because there was no way they could guarantee it would work. They could say, whamo, you now have a long life. If I died in another year what am I going to do about their lying to me? Sue them? I don't think so. I couldn't spend the money from my grave anyway.

Now they have changed their position and are encouraging me to write the book. I could ask them for long life as payment for doing the book. Again, there is no guarantee.

Once before they promised to help me win a lottery. Of course, it didn’t happen. When I confronted them, they said I misinterpreted what they said. They told me there is no way they can influence physical things telepathically.

I have thought up an alternate way they might help with this lottery thing. I will see what Galen thinks about my idea.

Wednesday, April 8, 2009 11:11 p.m. I am traveling to visit Galen.

Duane: Hello Galen. How are you tonight?

Galen: Hello Duane. That must be a force of habit to always ask how I am. Our immune system is so superior to yours that we don’t get your illnesses caused by bacteria or viruses. Our DNA is also well developed so we don’t have your many genetic illnesses. I don't mind telling you I am well, but I get the feeling that you don't believe in my perpetual wellness.

D: Believe me, it is just a habit. When one human asks that of another, we never expect to get a real answer. Every time I visit my doctor for something that ails me, his nurse asks how I am. What the blazes does she think I am there for? I feel like saying I’m sick. I may be dying. That’s why I’m here. Instead, I say fine, and blow my nose or cough into my handkerchief.

I had a thought about you helping me win the lottery. You said you couldn’t influence the numbered ping-pong balls they use. Can you see far enough into the future to see what numbers come up in say, tomorrow’s lottery?

G: I think you are looking for magic again. I am not Merlin the Magician. I am Galen the extraterrestrial. There is no such thing as looking into the future. That is magic that will not happen in real life.

Can I predict things that may happen in the future? Sure. Take an extremely easy example. I predict that tomorrow morning the darkness will go away and it will get light enough outside to see without using an artificial light.

I know that sounds silly and simplistic, but it illustrates my point. Based on known factors and conditions that have existed in the past I can predict that when these conditions appear again and these factors are present there is a good possibility the same outcome will prevail.

That is a simplified description of how your weather forecasters predict the weather. Your military don't want you to know this, but they can predict weather a lot further into the future than a couple of weeks. They have much more information and sophisticated tools to work with.

If I were to predict the specific numbered balls that will come up in a lottery drawing I would have to study the machinery, the timing, the balls being used, and the room environment in order to have even a modicum of success. And, and this is the big one, I would have to study the things while physically in their presence. Visiting telepathically won't give me the accuracy I need.

In short, it won't work. I can't do it.

D: I have to leave for tonight but I want to talk with you some more about seeing into the future. I know of some instances that seem to indicate it is possible. I would like to know your take on that. Good-bye for tonight.

G: Good-bye Duane.

Living Without Time

2009-04-08T00:20:00.000-07:00

Last night we didn’t talk much about what it was like to live thousands of years. I want to find out more about Galen’s way of life.

Tuesday, April 7, 2009 11:07 p.m. I’m off to see my ET friend Galen. I find him in his reading room.

Duane: Hello Galen.

Galen: Hello Duane.

D: We didn’t talk much about your life last night. I’ve been wondering if you ever get bored. What do you do for excitement?

G: We travel.

D: If you can travel like I do when I come to see you, why do you bother to physically travel?

G: Physical travel lets us see more details of the places we visit. Physical travel also isn’t as tiring. Take yourself for example. You can’t stay with me very long because you can’t keep up the concentration. You find your mind wandering.

Our mental traveling, what you call remote traveling, is good for meetings and when we want a quick get together. Real travel is for gathering information and getting the big picture. I can spend years studying some place and never get tired. I find it relaxing to travel physically.

Physical travel has its problems. Some places I have been to have established sophisticated methods to protect themselves from intruders. It is always a surprise to find those kinds of things. We approach every new place cautiously, and occasionally we lose a ship and its crew.

D: My mind has started wandering. I have to bring my concentration back. I am writing this as we speak and I have my eyes open. What I see distracts me and makes it difficult for me to use my internal sight.

G: You will get it perfected as you practice it more.

D: I can't imagine what it would be like to live thousands of years.

G: We talked about this before. It is all relative. I know that is a cliché, but I don't know how else to explain it.

I only have a concept of day and night from visiting other planets. I was born and raised on a planet with continuous day on one side and night on the other. That continuity of time gave me a much different perspective on everything compared to your time that is chopped into pieces you call days.

We don't have those pieces to contend with. We have basically one cycle that is the time it takes us to return to a place in the universe where we were at the beginning of the cycle. In your years that is about 3,600 years. We don’t think of time as you do. We don't think of time coming in increments. For us it is continuous and that is basic to almost everything we do.

D: How do you plan meetings, or get togethers, without a day or hour time reference?

G: We connect with our friends, or whoever, and decide to get together. We use our mental abilities. It’s simple and effective.

We don’t have the need to hurry up and get something done. With our long lives, we always feel there is no need to do something immediately. Everything will get done in its time.

D: Some humans have a little of that philosophy. Working with Arabs years ago was difficult because they always would say, Yes, we’ll meet tomorrow at 1:00 p.m., Allah be willing. And they meant it. If they were doing something else at that time, well, Allah must not have been willing.

It’s getting late. I’ve got to leave. Good-bye Galen.

G: Good-bye Duane.

What’s it Like to Live 20 Thousand Years?

2009-04-07T00:12:00.000-07:00

My ET friend Galen claims he has been around for about twenty thousand of our years. I wonder what it is like to have lived that long.

Monday, April 6, 2009 10:57 p.m. I check in with Galen.

Duane: Hello Galen. How are you tonight?

Galen: Hello Duane. I am always well, thank you.

D: You never told me how old you are. You have hinted at being about 20,000 years old. That’s in our years. What is it like to have been around that long?

G: I can’t imagine it being any other way. I can give you an idea by comparing my lifetime with a typical human.

I have only been studying Earth for about the last three or four thousand years. Maybe it has been five or six thousand. I don’t keep a record of my time.

D: You must have known some of my ancestors that were here two thousand years ago. Have you ever followed a family through the many generations to see how they change, or don’t change?

G: That isn’t a simple task. We don't stay in one place long enough to follow an individual in all their movements. We could see general patterns of movement and change but nothing specific.

D: I thought you had implants that could help you find an individual.

G: Those are a recent tool. It is only within the last twenty five to thirty years that we had a need to trace individuals. Before that, we have only been interested in gross trends and effects individuals have on a society.

We get a lot of information by examining your garbage dumps and trash heaps. We can tell from your mining operations what kind of metals you are manufacturing and how you generate power.

You like to use the phrase big picture. We get much of our information about you from the big picture.

The only time we interfere is when we see something that might affect things beyond Earth.

We examine your new power generating plants and new technology for air and space transportation to determine its safety and effects on things you may not be aware of.

We are looking closely at the Large Hadron Collider. So far you haven’t been able to get it to work. If you are careful, you will get some great leaps in technology and knowledge. Don’t expect to see anything in your lifetime.

D: Do you think we will ever destroy the Earth with our pollution?

G: It’s not possible. If large numbers of people die off, guess what. There is less pollution. It’s more or less self-correcting. The Earth can sustain huge increases in population and pollution without destroying itself.

What is more likely to occur is that your scientists will discover how to manipulate the DNA to help you use more energy from the sun directly instead of getting the energy through eating food. I see that as a possibility in a few thousand years. There will have to be some major shifts in thinking to allow that to happen.

Someone said it takes fifty years for a paradigm shift to occur. I see a need for many paradigm shifts to allow manipulation of DNA for major changes in human traits.

Can you imagine any human giving up eating all that delicious food? Yes, a starving person would be glad to use sun energy for sustenance, but they don't have the means to study and change their DNA. On the other hand, the well-fed scientist doesn’t have the need or the desire to consider such a move.

I watch these things from afar, and it is like reading a good detective novel.

D: It’s been great talking with you tonight. I really have to leave. Good-bye.

G: Good-bye Duane. Don’t forget to practice your speed-reading.

Speed-Reading Practice

2009-04-05T23:24:00.000-07:00

I have the business section from last weekends Sunday newspaper. There is a nice long article about Chase bank management that I will see if Galen can help me read fast.

Sunday, April 5, 2009 9:58 p.m. I contact Galen.

Duane: Hi Galen.

G: Hello Duane.

D: I’m going to try something new tonight. I am going to write in my journal as I speak to you instead of waiting until we are finished. It may slow our conversation but I won’t forget anything this way.

G: We will see how it works.

Did you bring a newspaper so we can practice speed-reading?

D: Yes. What do we need to do to get started?

G: Look into my eyes. When you read an article you will not turn on the voice in your head. Jump from line to line as fast as you can. You will be able to hear my voice but the voice in your head will be shut off as you read.

Start reading.

D: Done. I was interrupted half way through with a telephone call.

G: Except for the interruption, how did the reading go?

D: I got interested in the article and slowed down. I could still hear the voice when I slowed down.

G: Was it gone when you read fast?

D: Yes. I think so.

G: You can’t think so. Was it gone or not?

D: It was gone.

G: Good. Find another article.

D: Okay. I’ve got one.

G: This time I want you to time your reading. Do you have a stopwatch?

D: I found one by Googling stopwatch.

G: Okay. Start the watch when you start reading and stop it when you stop reading.

D: I know how to use it.

G: All right. Then use it. Now.

D: I apologize. I thought I knew how to use it. The thing cleared when I only wanted it to stop. I’ll try again with a different article.

Finished. It was a short article and only took me 14 seconds to read it.

G: Count the number of words in the article, or estimate them.

D: There were about 125 words.

G: So you read at a rate of a little more than 500 words a minute. That’s not bad.

D: I would like to improve on that by a lot. Is a factor of ten out of the question?

G: I don’t think it would be too hard for you to get up to that speed. Practice tonight and tomorrow and get back with me. Just remember to push hard to jump from one line to the next.

D: Did my new method of transcribing our conversation slow things up too much for you?

G: You’ve got to be kidding. I have a lot more time left to me than you do. Did it slow things up too much for you?

D: No. I think it actually speeded things up for me because when we finished talking I finished writing at the same time. Now all I have to do is type it up for my blog.

G: Good. Now if you would learn to type faster you could eliminate another step.

D: I’m learning a lot now. I am hoping you can help me in the future with my piano and organ playing.

G: How could I help you?

D: I have never been able to memorize a piece of music. If you can blank peoples’ memories, I thought maybe you could also enhance them. I don’t need total recall but I would like to be able to memorize music. But I want to improve my speed-reading first.

G: All right. We will save the memorizing for another time. I can’t give you any ability that you don't already have, but I can release your mind to use its full potential. You may be surprised.

D: If it works, I certainly will be surprised. Thanks Galen for everything.

G: You’re welcome. Good-bye.

D: Good-bye. Notice I didn’t say good night this time.

G: Get out of here.

Return to Speed Reading

2009-04-04T23:24:00.000-07:00

I’ve started reading three more books since I bought that one on the Civil War, and I have one from the library I didn’t start and had to renew because it became due. That’s why I don't like libraries. I always have to bring their books back.

I could certainly use that speed-reading of Galen’s that he promised to help me with. I hope he hasn’t given up on me.

Saturday, April 4, 2009 10:33 p.m. I’m off to see Galen.

Duane: Hi Galen. I see you are at your reading. How is it going?

Galen: Hi Duane. The reading is going just fine. How is your reading going?

D: Not as well as I would like.

G: I’m still waiting for you to read that Civil War book.

D: Yes. I know I am being slow about it. I have a problem getting excited about such a dry subject—dry to me anyway. Maybe if I read it faster, the information would come at me quicker and I could get the big picture. I like big pictures instead of nitty details.

G: Have you done any speed-reading practice?

D: Yes. I read the newspaper as fast as I can when I think about it. I forget many times and read like I used to. Old habits die hard.

G: I told you I would help you.

D: I know. You offered to shut off that voice in my head that says the words when I read them. I have a concern about that.

G: What bothers you?

D: I really like having that voice when I read a novel. It helps me to really get into it. If you shut that voice off when I am speed-reading, will I also lose it for reading novels?

G: Probably. If you do read slow and bring the voice back you will be re-enforcing it and it will be there for the speed-reading. We can work on creating a switch for you to use to turn the voice on or off at will. Maybe we can create a new ability. Would you be willing to give it a whirl?

D: Sure. But not tonight. It’s getting late.

G: Okay. Tomorrow get your newspaper and come see me and we will start working on shutting off that voice. I think we should do that first before we work on the switch. It doesn’t make sense to turn it back on if we can't turn it off in the first place. Kapeesh?

D: Yes. I understand. I’ll check in with you tomorrow. Good night for now.

G: Good night Duane. You don't have to wish me a good night. It is all the same to me—day—night—whatever. My time is always good. But thanks for the thought.

D: You’re welcome. Good-bye.

Dark Matter

2009-04-03T23:51:00.000-07:00

Each ET seems to have at least some specialty in their knowledge. Galen is not as technically inclined, for example, as GC. Galen is more interested in studying people and how we live and govern ourselves. If I want to ask an alien about a technical subject, I would do myself a favor by talking to GC instead of Galen.

I have been reading an article in this months Scientific American magazine about dark matter. Cosmologists can’t agree on its existence, which is understandable. Dark matter can’t be seen and has to be surmised to exist by the behavior of something that can be seen and measured.

Movements of the stars and galaxies in their apparent role in expanding the universe lend some cosmologists to believe that something is driving these bodies at an accelerated rate. They call that something dark matter.

The ETs have indicated to me that they can sense things that we cannot. They also claim to have greater knowledge of physics than we humans do. I would like to explore this dark matter with GC. He has the most technical knowledge of the aliens I have worked with so far.

Friday, April 3, 2009 8:47 p.m. I concentrate on meeting up with GC.

Duane: Hello GC.

GC: Hello Duane. I am not used to the way you refer to me.

D: I use that as a short way of saying Ghee Cop. Forgive me if that offends you.

G: No, that’s all right. I can get used to it. I haven’t seen you for a while.

D: I’ve been visiting Galen. I see you are still working on the ship.

GC: Yes. There is a lot of work to do.

D: Have you found anything interesting?

GC: Everything is interesting. Probably the most interesting is our attempts to explain what we find to the engineers who monitor our work. We don't always get our thoughts through to them clearly.

D: I understand. I have my own problems trying to interpret what I think I hear from you.

I want to ask you something tonight and I hope I can decipher what you tell me.

GC: Go ahead. I’ll see if I can explain so you understand. We’ve had some practice at this with the engineers.

D: You know about the stuff, I don't know what else to call it, that we call dark matter. Can you tell me if it exists and what it is?

GC: What do you know about electricity and magnetism?

D: Not much, really. I can calculate its properties. I can use it. But I have a real problem trying to visualize the actual mechanisms that are at work.

Oh, I know the picture of the electrical and magnetic fields. I can understand them conceptually. I can draw out maps of the propagating waves and calculate their intensity, but I can’t describe the actual mechanism that is at work.

For example, light gets from one place to another by some source emitting photons. What exactly is a photon? I haven’t a clue.

GC: You are familiar with the experiment using a bell and a vacuum?

D: Yes.

GC: If you create a vacuum in a room and set off an alarm in that room, the alarm can't be heard. There are no particles in the room to carry the sound wave.

Do you think there is any sound in space? If an astronaut hits a hammer on something outside their craft while on a space walk, could a fellow astronaut hear it if he was outside?

D: No. There is a near vacuum out there. No sounds can be transmitted. Space is pretty quiet.

GC: Correct. If you had a telescope on Earth and looked up at this fellow knocking a hammer around you could see him, couldn’t you?

D: Of course.

GC: The photons travelled from the astronauts to you. Your eyes would get excited by the photons and your brain would interpret that as something you see.

When the astronauts send radio transmissions to Earth can you see the signals with your telescope?

D: No. I would have to have a radio receiver tuned to their frequency to hear their signal. What are you getting at?

GC: You don’t have a receiver capable of being excited by that stuff you call dark matter, so you are unable to tell that it is there. I know this doesn't explain what that dark matter is, however, I can tell you it isn't dark and it isn't matter. Some day your scientists will make a huge leap in their understanding and you will be on your way to travel to the stars and beyond. Not you personally, I am referring to you humans collectively.

Meanwhile, I will get together with my crew and see if we can put together a better description of dark matter for you. This should be interesting.

D: Thanks. I may check in with you again tomorrow night.

GC: We will look forward to it. We do enjoy taking these little breaks from our work to talk with you.

Good night Duane.

D: Good night GC and thanks for being so patient with me.

Is it an ET or is it Me?

2009-04-03T00:28:00.000-07:00

I caught a lot of flak about last nights blog. It seems that people who know me think it sounded more like me speaking than my ET friend Galen.

I’ve thought about that all day today. My first inclination is to go on the defensive. Part of the reason for that is probably the same reason many people have. They are afraid there is some truth to the accusation being made.

Ever since I first learned about remote traveling almost 46 years ago I have wondered if it was a reality. When my grandfather told me of his experiences with it, I only half believed him.

At the urging of some close friends I tried it for myself and proved to my satisfaction that it worked. I let it sit quiet in the back of my subconscious for another 35 years because I had no need for it. And to be truthful, I was still skeptical.

Once I retired and started my own remote travels I met up with some extraterrestrials and had the feeling in the back of my mind that this was not reality. The only two people I knew that undertook such travels were my grandfather and myself, and he never met any extraterrestrials or visited any UFOs.

Then in 1998, I read about the United States government experiments with something they called remote viewing. It was the same thing I was doing and that I called remote traveling.

I reasoned that if the government believed in it and was using it as a spy tool, then I certainly should be able to believe in it. That gave me the courage to continue with my travels and also gave me the impetus to start writing about what I was doing.

Still, in the back of my subconscious somewhere is that nagging thought that this isn’t real. I can't read about it in the newspapers. Even a magazine like Fortean Times doesn’t talk about telepathy with aliens. How can I ever prove to everyone’s satisfaction, without a doubt, that I am meeting and talking with alien ETs? The ETs refuse to supply me with any physical evidence of their existence.

I would like to quell that nagging doubt once and for all. I have no hopes that will ever happen. Whatever their reasons, they want us to remain doubtful as to their existence.

My thoughts turned to myself. I have proved I can remote travel to places on Earth, but I have no proof I am speaking with ETs. I do the same thing with the ETs that I did with my proof tests. It must be working, right? I want to believe I am speaking with ETs.

I have to believe I am speaking with ETs. Otherwise I am greatly delusional. I know I am an analytical engineer with my feet firmly planted on the ground. I don't believe I am delusional.

So how do I explain my conversations sounding like I am talking to myself? I think I can explain that and it sounds reasonable to me. It goes like this: Galen and the others do not speak to me in American English. Actually these ETs don’t speak. Their mouths don’t look like they are capable of opening. The ETs communicate with each other mentally. I call it telepathy. I’m sure they have a much better description of it.

And there’s the rub. Their descriptions of things are not my descriptions of things, but I am the one receiving their thoughts and converting them into something I understand. In my head I hear Galen, and the others, speaking in words and sounds that are the same as I hear when I read a book.

Galen can’t describe some things to me because I have no way to interpret his message. He may have a picture in his mind that is perfectly normal to him. To me I see something that may be perfectly normal to me, but it is an entirely different thing. I have to describe things using my memories of my personal life experiences.

When Galen says he would like a lemur as a pet, only in a robotic form, I have no idea what he really is thinking. That is how my mind converted his thought to something I understood. He may have been thinking of some strange two legged animal from his species original planet. How would I know?

I do the best I can in writing down the words I hear in my head and describing the scenes I see when I travel. If I think the words are being created by my own subconscious I immediately leave. Of course I am not always correct, but I do my best not to put words in the ETs mouth, so to speak.

That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. It sounds good to me. What do you think?

Good night Galen, wherever you are. It would be nice to meet you in person, but I don't believe that will ever happen.

Pets on an Alien Planet

2009-04-02T00:29:00.000-07:00

I take my dog to a nearby dog park almost every day so he can run around and play with his four legged friends. Today while we were walking around enjoying the quiet, it was raining and we were almost alone, it struck me that I have never heard Galen talk about having any pets. He mentioned missing his family and friends but never mentioned anything about pets.

Tuesday, April 1, 2009 11:23 p.m. I concentrate on visiting Galen, my ET friend.

Galen: Hello Duane.

Duane: Hi Galen. You know that I have a dog that I almost consider part of my family. Many of us humans have pets like dogs and cats and some even have tigers and huge snakes. I was wondering if you had any pets on your home planet.

G: Yes we do. But let me explain. A long time ago, before any of us existed on Nibiru, we lived on a planet similar to Earth. We had all kinds of pets. Like you humans do.

When some of us migrated to Nibiru, we left all that behind. There were several reasons, not the least of which was our concern for their adapting to life on a different planet. We were also concerned about accommodating them on our ships. So, we left them behind.

D: I would have a tough time leaving my dog behind for a long trip. I don't like putting him in a boarding kennel for a weekend when we go on a short trip. How did you cope without them?

G: We made new ones. Much of our repetitive work is performed by robots. Anything that can be done without the need of creative thought we use robots to do for us.

Someone got the bright idea to create robotic pets. These little robots provide all the companionship one could ask for and we don't have to be concerned about their welfare when we travel. We shut them down. When we return we re-energize them and there they are.

D: When you are gone for long periods of time don't they deteriorate with age? Don't they corrode, get rusty and fall apart?

G: We don't have a throw away society. We design and build things to last forever. Well, maybe not forever, but for a long time. Our things don’t wear out because we take an extremely long time to machine them to very fine tolerances. Parts don't grind on each other and wear out.

We also use materials that don’t corrode under our atmosphere. Luckily, Earth’s atmosphere is very similar to ours so the materials don't corrode here either.

D: Do you have one of those robotic pets?

G: No. But if I did I would like one that was similar to your lemurs. I think they are marvelous animals, and not too big or clumsy like apes or orangutans.

D: You seem to be prejudiced towards two legged animals.

G: Yes. The four-legged ones scare me.

D: I see. Thanks for the info. I’ve got to go. Good night.

G: Good night Duane.

Time is Alien to ETs

2009-03-31T23:53:00.000-07:00

The older I get, the faster time seems to fly past me. I once read an article about that phenomenon. It explained the apparent speeding up of time by comparing a baby with a person 75 years old.

A one-day-old baby goes through another day of life and that new day represents 50% of the baby’s conscious life. The 75 year old goes through the same day and experiences 1/(365X75) or .00037% of their life. The baby had 50% of its life experiences in the time that the 75 year old had .00037% of their life experiences. The older person probably repeated the same experiences they had the day before.

Galen hasn’t told me how old he is, using our years as a reference. He hinted at being about 20,000 years old. I wonder how time passes for him.

Tuesday, March 31, 2009 10:23 p.m. I concentrate on traveling to visit Galen.

Duane: Hello Galen.

Galen: Hello Duane.

D: I want to ask you so many things about the secret government facilities that you must know about. I won’t though. I don't want to get either of us in trouble.

G: Thanks. Maybe some day we will be able to talk about those things without causing problems.

D: I’ve had some thoughts today about projects I have been working on. They seem to never get done. I was sitting here tonight thinking about one that I want to spend a lot of time on. I didn’t even touch it today. The day went by so fast I feel as if I only woke up a couple of hours ago.

Weeks go by just as fast. Time certainly does seem to fly by me.

You are much older than I am. How does time affect you? What I mean is, how do you look at time?

G: I know you just wrote about comparing a baby’s outlook and an older person’s outlook as regards to time. I have an alternate view.

A young person growing up has no regard for time. I am talking about a human young person although this is true to some extent for one of us also.

That young person thinks there is no end to their life. They can do whatever they desire wherever they desire. If they don't get something done today it makes no difference to them because they have tomorrow to do it.

Now take yourself. You are approaching 79 this year. When you consider your future you tend to think there may not be much left. You need tomorrow to do something else and if you didn’t get your tasks accomplished that you planned for today you feel bad. You will have to use tomorrow to accomplish today’s tasks. Tomorrows tasks get put aside. Maybe forever. Now you really feel bad. How will you ever get those things done, you ask yourself.

D: I see what you are getting at. The young person has wants and has all their life ahead of them to experience those wants. I also have wants but I feel I have no time left to accomplish them.

G: Yes. Now take me. I really don’t have all the wants and desires you have but I do have some. I also look to my future and see it as unlimited. If I don't get something done today I don't feel bad—I can do it tomorrow.

Consider this. I don't look at or experience time as you do. We don't have days and nights. We have almost continuous sunlight, or darkness, it depends on which side of the planet we live on. Here we use electric lighting to simulate our continuous daylight.

Look at your quick changes in light and dark as a ticking metronome. Every change is one tick. It ticks away relatively quickly. Our changes are so slow that it is like the metronome stopped and time will go on forever.

D: So time doesn’t enter into your life as much as it seems to intrude on ours.

G: That’s right. We experience all measures of time on the many different planets we visit. Yours is one of the shortest periods. I suspect that has some affect in causing your short lives. However, I believe that DNA is still the biggest culprit.

D: I’ve got to go Galen. Good night.

G: Good night Duane.

Extraterrestrial and Human Secrets

2009-03-31T00:25:00.000-07:00

I was watching an episode of the UFO Hunters television show on You Tube this afternoon. They were investigating the possibility of an underground extraterrestrial and government research facility in Dulce, New Mexico. I think that’s where it was. I don’t have access to my computer right now to check it out. I am writing this out in long hand.

I have always had the feeling that my ET friend Galen was located somewhere in that area. I want to ask him about that tonight.

Monday, March 30, 2009 11:01 p.m. I concentrate on visiting Galen.

Duane: Hello Galen Before you ask, I an looking into your eyes. It seems bright in here tonight. You must be in your regeneration room. The warmth feels good.

We are having crumby weather still. I had an inch of snow at my house yesterday morning.

Galen: Hello Duane. There is no snow here as far as I can tell. I don't get out, but that is the sense I get from our human engineer friends.

D: I wanted to ask you about this place you are at. Is it in New Mexico?

G: I can’t tell you. I won't tell you. That is to protect you. If I told you, you would write about it and that could get both of us in a lot of trouble. I have begun to like you and consider you a friend. I will do whatever I can to protect you.

D: Protect me from what?

G: Duane, you can’t begin to imagine what is involved here. Funding for this place is almost unlimited. Funds can be spent any way these people desire. They answer to no one. And I mean no one.

Their projects are so secret that they are free to do anything they want, with impunity. You have read about that German Doctor Mengala. What he did was child’s play compared to experiments going on here. And that’s just the part that we have been able to tap into.

Why don’t you keep your questions oriented towards my life on my home planet, or something about space travel, or the universe? You know, something simple, and less dangerous.

D: You are starting to frighten me. I never expected our conversations and meeting like this to turn into something so sinister.

G: When money and power is involved things can always turn sinister. That seems to be the nature of you humans.

D: Don’t you have money and power at home? I don't mean you personally but as a civilization.

G: Our more human counterparts have to some extent, but us astronaut types have no need for either. Our wants are so simple. Just let us study and gather knowledge about the millions of species of people in the universe. It is fascinating and gives us much enjoyment.

I told you before that our human types can eat or not. They don’t, unless they travel to some foreign planet that has food available. We have no food on Nibiru. None of us ever sleep, so what kind of needs do we have? We live so long that time has no meaning for us.

I suppose our greatest desire is to learn new technology to improve what we have. Our scientists and engineers have been working on improvements to our ships’ navigation system. Fewer ships have been crashing lately due to better protection against all your high powered radio frequency signals that have been causing us problems.

D: I’m going to leave. Maybe I can think up some questions that won't cause us any problems. Good night.

G: Good night Duane. I hope I haven’t caused you too much concern.

D: Yeh, me too.

Deserts Hidden Mysteries

2009-03-28T23:07:00.000-07:00

The other night Galen said he had been around during the construction of some of our ancient artifacts. I wonder which ones.

Saturday, March 28, 2009 8:43 p.m. I concentrate on traveling to see Galen.

Duane: Hello Galen.

Galen: Hello Duane. Are you looking into my eyes?

D: Yes.

G: Good. I am in the midst of another conversation and I don't think you want to be part of it.

D: Is it like the one you had with that fellow who got shot with an arrow?

G: A little.

D: Do you regularly get involved in those kind of situations?

G: Many people consider us to be something like magicians. They believe we can wave a magic wand and make things happen for them. Of course we can’t. But that doesn't stop them from asking.

You asked me to help you win the lottery once. Do you remember?

D: Yes.

G: I told you I couldn’t do that. I live under the same laws of physics that you do. How would I ever control the numbers to come up on a bunch of balls so they would match numbers you had on a piece of paper? If I was standing right there I couldn't do it. How could I do it from several thousand miles away?

Because we are an unknown we get all kinds of fanciful abilities attributed to us. Magic is one of them. As you know magic isn’t reality. It is an illusion.

D: Yes. I was a magician many years ago. One of the reasons I gave it up was because I didn't like deceiving people.

G: What would you like to talk about tonight? As if I didn't already know.

D: You mentioned the other night that you were around when some of our ancient artifacts were created. I forget our actual subject.

G: We were discussing constructions that people have attributed to us but that really were built by humans.

D: Yes. What were some of those things that you saw constructed? Were you around when the pyramids in Egypt were built?

G: Those were completed before I got here. I did see some of the cities that existed before the desert sands covered them.

D: Where did all that sand come from?

G: In many places on Earth, the fertile soil is only inches deep. As long as it is used to grow crops it will stay in place. However, people looking for food become jealous of crop growers. They take over the land and kill off the farming population and then they find out they don't know how to farm.

The land dries up under the hot sun and winds blow the soil away exposing the non-fertile ground underneath. Many years of strong wind grinds the soft silica rock into sand and it blows around. Eventually the homes and cities are covered.

You will find many interesting things buried in the desert, but they may never be found. You are so used to seeing desert sand that it has been accepted as always being there. That’s not true, but it is difficult to change such a mind set.

D: I’ve got to leave you Galen, for a while. I have to pick up my wife from work. If I have time I will see you later. Good bye.

G: Good bye.

(If anyone reading this has a question they would like me to ask any of my ET friends, just click on the word comments below and ask away.)

Why Do UFOs Have Lights?

2009-03-28T00:54:00.000-07:00

There is a fascinating radio talk show on late at night that I have been listening to for many years. The show is called Coast to Coast. It runs three hours and covers almost any subject that other talk shows shy away from. The regular host is George Noory. In the Seattle area, one of our radio stations reruns the previous nights last hour as a prelude to the new show every night.

Tonight I was listening to the end of Thursday nights’ broadcast. A caller had an interesting question that I would like Galen to comment on for me.

Friday, March 27, 2009 11:20 p.m. I concentrate on visiting my ET friend Galen.

Duane: Hello Galen.

Galen: Hello Duane. Are you up close and looking into my eyes?

D: Yes. And I want to ask you about that. Last night you asked me what I saw when I looked into your eyes. I told you I saw a reflection of myself and the room.

I’ve been thinking about that and it bothers me that I said I saw a reflection of myself in your eyes. How can that be possible? I’m not physically here.

Do you manifest me as a physical body and that reflects in your eyes?

G: Not at all. I don't physically see you here. I see you at your desk at home. What happened was that your subconscious was stimulated by my questions and it created an answer that it thought was proper for the situation. If you think back on last night you may recall that you never saw yourself in my eyes. That was your subconscious working when it should have been asleep.

D: You didn’t say anything about it to me at the time.

G: No. It wasn’t important to what we were doing. I only wanted to make sure you were looking into my eyes.

D: I have another question. I was listening to a radio show tonight and a caller wanted to know why UFOs have lights. If they are trying to be clandestine and unobserved then why do they show themselves with lights, he wanted to know. What can you tell me about that?

G: Think about it. Well, maybe not. That may turn on your subconscious again.

D: (I think that is a little alien humor.)

G: If they didn’t have lights at night would you see them?

D: Probably not. They would be lost in the dark sky.

G: Precisely. Then how can you be sure they aren’t there? The person asking the question was jumping to the conclusion that all UFOs have lights and can be seen at night. What if I told you that none of them had lights?

D: Then what are people seeing?

G: Anything that has three lights and looks like a triangular shape is most probably a new military vehicle that you may not know about publically for many years. The government is content with people believing they are seeing UFOs.

D: What about those single glowing orbs?

G: Those could be our ships, but those aren’t outside lights like those that you see on your airplanes.

Do you remember asking one of us how our ships propulsion systems work?

D: Yes. That was a few years ago. I never got a detailed answer. I don't remember who it was I was talking to but he told me that it was something like pointing a beam of light and the ship followed it. He said that was the best he could do with his explanation because of my limited understanding of the physics involved.

G: Yes. There are several more reasons for such an explanation. First, he probably didn’t know much more than what he told you. And second, we can’t divulge too much in the way of new technology. You must develop these concepts at your own speed. Giving you something too new for your way of life to handle could cause disastrous results.

Those beams we use cause us to travel at tremendous speeds. We have to slow down as we get closer to our destination and that causes the light to become visible and show itself, usually as many different colors as the frequencies change.

Anyone who still believes that light speed is a limiting factor in physics has a long way to go before they can accept some of our technology. Be patient, it will come about. I have given enough hints that some enlightened persons may begin to see the light. Pun intended.

D: Thanks again Galen. I am getting sleepy. I have to leave. Your humor isn't helping me keep awake. Good night.

G: Good night Duane.

Human Concentration and Intelligence

2009-03-27T00:12:00.000-07:00

I think I got plenty of sleep last night and I am eager to find out if I have concentration problems again tonight. If I do find it hard to concentrate on Galen, I wonder who else may be encroaching on our visit. Or maybe I will be encroaching on their visit.

Whatever happens, Galen said he could help me. I don't know how he will do that. I thought I already knew how to concentrate.

Thursday, March 26, 2009 8:58 p.m. I concentrate on visiting Galen. I meet up with him in his regeneration room.

Duane: Hello Galen. I see you’re regenerating.

Galen: Hello Duane. Yes. I was feeling a little down and in need of a charge up.

D: When you say down do you mean physically or mentally down?

G: When I am down physically that usually affects my mental attitude as well. I’m not talking about depression. I only feel a little off in mental sharpness.

D: I don’t detect anyone else here tonight.

G: You are here by yourself. I am not communicating with anyone. I have no visitors.

D: You said you would help me concentrate. Can we do this without someone here to interrupt us.

G: You mean interrupt us from other conversations I am having?

D: Yes.

G: It would be better to have someone interfering with us so that you could tell if the concentration was working. Would you like me to call upon someone to talk to me?

D: Sure. That would be all right. I hesitate a little because I really didn’t like it last night when that fellow got killed by an arrow. Did you find out what happened to him?

G: No. That incident stopped our communicating and I didn’t stay around to see any more. I couldn't help him so I left.

I will contact someone to talk to me.

D: (I hear him asking someone by the name of Robert if he had some time to talk. Robert answers in the affirmative and Galen asks him to stand by.)

G: All right Duane, my friend Robert is ready. Move closer to me and look directly into my eyes. What do you see?

D: Two big black balls. I see reflections of myself and the room.

G: Good. Concentrate on my eyes and I will ask Robert to start telling me about what he was doing before I interrupted him.

D: (There is a pause. I don't hear anything.)

G: Are you still looking into my eyes?

D: Yes.

G: Do you hear anything besides me?

D: No.

G: Okay. It’s working. I will dismiss Robert.

After this when you visit me arrange yourself so that you are looking into my eyes.

Why don't you take leave for a while and think up something for us to talk about tonight.

D: Okay. Good bye.

G: Good bye.

10:54 p.m. I return to Galen after I did a few errands.

D: I’m back. (I am looking into his eyes. I am almost staring into them.)

G: Do you have a question?

D: Yes. What can you tell me about the things many people attribute to you aliens? I’m talking about things like the pyramids, not only in Egypt but all over the world. And things like the huge stones quarried in Baalbek, Lebanon. And what about the Nazca Lines in Peru and Stonehenge in England?

G: That’s a big question. Of course, I don’t know everything. I have seen the construction of some of those things, but not all by any means.

I am certain all of those things were constructed by humans. We may have given you some telepathic help, but we are careful to not interfere with your growth.

Many of the things you want to attribute to us because they were constructed thousands of years ago and you find it hard to believe humans had that kind of knowledge back then.

I assure you there was as much intelligence among you then as there is now. Your archeologists are slowly finding that to be true. So many of your ancient libraries were destroyed that most of that written knowledge was also destroyed. I should say almost destroyed because much of it is only hidden.

Excavations are continually finding recorded history that is shedding light on human activities that have been long lost.

Some of the greatest finds will be discovered when the sands of the great deserts are moved and the buried cities are uncovered. Much of your history isn’t lost; it’s buried.

D: Thanks Galen. It's getting late. Let’s continue this another night. Good bye.

G: Good night.

Telepathy Requires Concentration

2009-03-25T20:37:00.000-07:00

I am interested in the ideas that my extraterrestrial friend Galen was telling me about last night. Their interest in helping humans develop telepathic abilities is intriguing. I would like to talk to him some more about that.

Wednesday, March 25, 2009 7:48 p.m. I concentrate on visiting Galen.

I find it extremely difficult to maintain my concentration. I see Galen, but other thoughts are continually interfering. Maybe Galen can help me.

Duane: Hello Galen.

Galen: Hello Duane.

D: I am having a tough time concentrating tonight. Can you help me?

G: Your problem is just the opposite. You are beginning to advance to another stage in your ability. You will next learn to steer your concentration.

Tonight I am communicating with several other people. You are picking up on their communications.

D: I see someone exiting a large truck. It looks like a military 2 ½ ton truck I used to drive in the Army. The person is starting to say something and they are suddenly shot with an arrow. I think the the arrow killed him. What is happening?

G: That is someone I was talking with deep in the jungles of South America. Probably in Brazil. I can’t be sure.

You tuned in to our conversation just as he was asking me for help. I can’t help him now.

D: I don’t know that I am able to control this. I’m not sure I like it. Up till now my visits have been easy and fairly uncomplicated. Maybe I need some rest.

G: You will have to learn how to concentrate better. Get a good nights sleep and I’ll work with you tomorrow on it.

D: Thanks. I need some support in this. Good night.

G: Good night.

Mental Telepathy for Everyone

2009-03-25T00:12:00.000-07:00

I have been thinking about what Galen told me last night. He said that he and his friends were studying the thoughts and minds of the human engineers that work with them. I wonder why.

Tuesday, March 24, 2009 9:42 p.m. I concentrate on visiting Galen.

Duane: Hi Galen.

Galen: Hello Duane. What’s up?

D: You’re beginning to sound like one of us.

G: We must be spending too much time with you.

D: I want to ask you about that. You told me you were studying the engineers you work with. Why are you doing that?

G: We find them interesting.

D: And that is your only interest?

G: Not exactly. I’m not sure I want to tell you any more.

D: I don't want to cause you any problems. If you say so I will drop it right here.

G: No. That’s all right. I think we could handle anything that might come up. Do you recall we talked once before about our mind reading being a two-way thing?

D: Yes. But I wouldn’t think those engineers were chosen to work with you because they could read your mind.

G: No. But you’re close.

D: I know we can use our minds to communicate with each other, you and I. You are telling me that the engineers don’t or can’t do what I do. That means only one thing. You can put thoughts into their minds.

G: Perhaps.

D: You can put thoughts into my mind.

G: Perhaps.

D: And why would you do that?

G: It is our belief that every human has the ability to communicate through mental telepathy. We don’t know this positively. We are attempting to place the idea that this is possible into the subconscious minds of our engineer friends.

The common use of an ability has to start with the thought that perhaps it is possible. The next step is the knowledge that it has been accomplished. Then comes experimentation to prove it to ones self. When enough people have done that, it will become commonplace.

The acceptance of this ability as a common means of communication may take many years to accomplish. Time is one thing we have in abundance.

D: Why do you want to help us communicate telepathically?

G: It is one of the easiest of our abilities to help you acquire and could lead to more acceptance of us by humans in the future.

We talked before about our scientists working with your DNA scientists to solve many of your genetic problems. We could also give you some of the characteristics and abilities that we have. Many of those changes would be easily accepted, like freedom from diabetes and other diseases. However, many changes might never be accepted.

Take long life for an example. At first look that may seem like a wonderful attribute to have. Consider, however, that along with that comes a loss of all sexual desire. Humans have such a strong desire for the pleasures that go along with sexual activity that they may not want to give it up.

D: So you are starting with telepathy.

G: We are looking into it. Maybe it is an ability, like total recall, that only a few humans have. Our little experiment will help us find the answer.

D: Why do I have a feeling that isn’t the only agenda you have.

G: I can’t say any more. Good night Duane.

D: Good night Galen.

Extraterrestrials Have Friends

2009-03-24T00:59:00.000-07:00

ETs have families back on their home planet. Last night we found that they miss their families. They also make long time friendships with those they work with. The astronaut types don't have sexual differences. They don’t even have any sexual organs for that matter.

I have never seen Galen wearing clothes. He looks like my daughters’ baby dolls she had when she was a toddler.

Well not quite. His skin is light bluish, grayish and greenish. More grayish than anything.

Every time I visit Galen, he is by himself. Yet, he claims the others that work with him are like family. I wonder why I never see them with him.

Monday, March 23, 2009 11:02 p.m. I concentrate on traveling to Galen.

Duane: Hello Galen.

Galen: Hello Duane.

D: Last night we were talking about your family. Tonight I would like to talk about your friends.

G: Okay.

D: You told me once before that you consider the people, if I can call them that, that work with you on the ship, to be your friends. Why do I always find you alone when I visit? Where are your friends?

G: Remember when you asked me about our transportation back on my home planet? I told you that we didn’t have a need for much transportation because we have better and more efficient methods of getting together.

We don’t have stores to go to for things like food. We don’t eat. Our homes are very simple. We have no kitchen, no bathrooms and no bedrooms. We don't have need for a regeneration room like the one we have here. At home, we merely turn up the intensity of our illumination.

I am telling you about our homes so you get a feel for some of the things we don't have to do. Our needs are simple.

We don’t need a room full of books to read, like my apartment here. We don’t use books anymore to store our knowledge. It is stored on huge electronic data banks. That isn’t really what they are, but that is the best description I can give you.

D: How do you prevent your data banks from becoming obsolete?

G: That is a problem you have. Did you know that your beloved Internal Revenue Tax Service has billions of pieces of data that are useless? Anything from just a few years back is stored on data banks that are now obsolete. The data is irretrievable. Many of the people who collected and stored that data don't even work for the government any more.

Long ago we developed systems that were expected to last a very long time. When new developments came up we made sure they would never make the old systems obsolete. Those type of new methods slow up development time, but that’s one thing we have a lot of, time.

D: I know what you mean about new inventions making old things obsolete. I have many old 78 rpm phonograph recordings that I can’t play anymore. I don't have a player. I have a couple of original Edison cylinder recordings I would love to hear. I can’t play them. No Edison player.

You were telling me about your communicating with your friends.

G: Yes. What we do is something like what you people do with your cell phones. You have no need to regularly meet with someone just to talk with them. You use the cell phone. It seems to always be with you.

Why do you get together at all? Well, you humans have needs that none of us have. Now, mind you, I am talking about us astronaut types. If you want to know about our more human counter parts you will have to meet with them.

We have no need, or desire, to get together for sexual games. We have no sexual desires.We have no need for drinking parties. We don’t drink. Anything.

We get a great deal of enjoyment out of intellectual gatherings, and we can do that without being physically in each other’s presence.

We spend a lot of time together analyzing the thoughts of the human engineers we come in contact with. They only work a few hours each day. When they leave to visit their families and rest for the night, we get together and discuss everything that went on during that day.

Sometimes when you drop in on me, you catch us in the midst of one of these meetings. My friends are here for all practical purposes. A little like your video conferences without the bother and expense of the video.

D: That would be something if we could make your type of meeting work for us.

G: Maybe some day.

D: Maybe. Not in my lifetime. I am sure my friends think I am a little weird when I tell them how you and I are meeting.

Do you think that you could autograph one of those books you have and mail it to me? That would help me prove we are really meeting.

G: They would never let me mail anything out of here. Maybe I can figure something out.

D: It’s getting late. My dog is sitting next to me and whining. I have to leave. Good night Galen.

G: Good night Duane.

ETs Miss Their Families

2009-03-22T23:19:00.000-07:00

Family relationships mean a lot to humans. In some of our cultures the family relationship is the only relationship many members of the family have.

As recent as the twentieth century there were many people living in big cities who never left their neighborhoods. They couldn’t tell you what the other side of town looked like.

Transportation then was not what it is today. Some people had no means of going to a store without walking. They walked everywhere they went. Cars? Who had cars? Not many people did in the early 1900s. And that was fairly recent.

Staying home was not all that bad. It meant the family stayed closer together. Everyone ate meals together. They played together. They even had family conversations, without a TV. When a family member was called away to war, their leaving the family was felt as a loss. Some never came home and the loss became permanent.

Aliens leave home for long periods of time. I wonder how they handle it.

Sunday, March 22, 2009 9:03 p.m. I travel to see my friend Galen.

Duane: Hi Galen.

Galen: Hi Duane.

D: Do you mind if we talk about your family tonight?

G: Not at all. What do you want to know?

D: When I was in the Army, we had a young man in our outfit who had never been away from his family. He had trouble wearing Army boots because those were the first shoes he had ever worn. He was very homesick. Missing his family was an even greater pain than going through basic training wearing those foreign things on his feet.

You told me that you consider your fellow shipmates to be your family. I know you didn’t have a father, but you were with your mother for some time. Don't you miss her when you are away for so many years?

G: We need to put time into perspective. For purposes of illustration let’s say I have been gone for forty of your years. Let’s also say I am about 20,000 years old. That means I have been gone for about 0.2% of my lifetime.

If a human was gone from their family for 0.2% of their lifetime of say, 75 years, that would be a little less than two months. Many human families send their children away to school and don't see them for sometimes three or four months at a time.

As you would say, that’s no big deal. The families communicate regularly with their children. We communicate regularly with our families. We hope to see them some day.

D: Do you have any plans for getting back home?

G: We have to be very careful what we disclose. I know you are writing about our meetings and I don't want to leave anyone with the impression that we are planning an escape. Beside, it is nearly impossible to escape from here.

We thought we would be able to rebuild our ship. There are no materials on Earth that are suitable for repairing our crashed ship. We have none of the knowledge among our remaining crew that could help in creating those materials.

I don't think an ordinary human could reconstruct a bicycle, especially a racing bicycle, out of ordinary materials. Some of the basic parts, like special tubing, are so exotic that only a few people could undertake such a task. Imagine the problems we have with trying to reproduce the outer skin of our ship. Your scientists and engineers can’t even analyze it.

D: Could you make arrangements for some of your flying brothers to come down and rescue you?

G: Our captors would love that. We are certain they have an elaborate system set up to capture an operating ship. They could be using us as bait. Now they will know that we know, if they read this.

D: Is there any harm in that? I will leave that out of my journal.

G: That’s all right. It just tells them that we probably wouldn’t use that method to be rescued.

We are more concerned about follies of your governments. It may take us another thousand years to develop the tools and machinery and materials necessary to get our ship flying again. Much can change in that time.

Your country is only a little more than two hundred years old and has been through a lot of turmoil. Where will it be in a thousand years? This entire complex we are working in probably won't be here. The people monitoring us now and the engineers we work with today will be long gone. There could be many changes in your civilizations. What does that bode for us?

We keep very careful watch over the behaviors of the humans we are in contact with. We are looking for changes in attitude that may signal problems for us. We may need to call for dramatic measures to save ourselves.

D: Couldn’t you do that regardless? I mean, you could call for an outright attack by your ships that surely could get you out of here.

G: We will do anything to prevent such a calamity. A battle between us could have dire repercussions on our inter-relationships for a long time. We will be patient, but watchful.

D: Thanks Galen. I have to leave. Good night.

G: Good night Duane.

ETs Predict the Future

2009-03-21T23:51:00.000-07:00

Many years ago, when I was a teenager, I remember hearing an interview on the radio with a man who claimed he was traveling in the desert one night and was abducted by alien extraterrestrials.

The interviewer asked him what he learned. Well, he said, they told him to tell everyone that they humans have to love one another and stop having wars and killing one another.

At the time I thought that sounded more like what some nut would say to get people’s attention. Now, after many decades of maturing on my part, I think his statement was simplistic and made by a naive man who thought he could save the world by pretending to get some great and wondrous enlightenment from an all knowing benevolent creature from outer space.

After that, every abductee who said we have to stop having wars was branded a kook.

My traveling to visit with a few of these alien ETs has helped me to see that they are people just like us. They have their problems, like we do. They also are limited in their knowledge, as we are.

I thought it would be interesting to ask Galen if he had some wondrous enlightening words he would like to lay on us horribly screwed up humans.

Saturday, March 21, 2009 10:42 p.m. I concentrate on traveling to see my ET friend Galen.

Duane: Hi Galen.

Galen: Hello Duane.

D: Some of the first people who claimed to have been contacted by aliens brought back wondrous and glorious words that were supposed to cure all mankind of all our problems. What are your thoughts on that?

G: Most of those people were publicity seekers. In those days, anyone claiming to have met an alien became an instant celebrity and was sought out for interviews. Sadly, they made fools of themselves and discredited the few who did have alien encounters.

D: What words would you have for us humanoids on Earth?

G: Hang on and continue with what you are doing.

D: Isn’t that a little simplistic? It also sounds like the advice I get whenever I ask God to please let me win the lottery. He tells me to work for it.

G: Of course. Anything else I could tell you would have no meaning. I could say, for example, that you should have peace in the world. Everyone should take care of each other. Everyone should have altruistic goals they are always working to attain. Doesn’t that sound great? We want those same things.

It isn’t realistic to believe that anyone will be able to tell your leaders how to lead. There are good leaders and there are bad leaders. There are many ways to govern a country.

I can look back over all the civilizations I have studied on this Earth over the last fifteen to twenty thousand years and use that history to predict what I think will happen in the future. There have been many great empires on Earth that no longer exist. Remnants of the people exist but the empires and governors are gone.

Should we have intervened to prevent their demise? What good would that have accomplished? You have a saying about ignorance of history causing it to be repeated. I will tell you this. Knowledge of history will not prevent the past mistakes from being repeated. Unless the knowledge is personal, it has no effect. You will always believe you are too smart to make the mistake that someone else made. Then you step in the dog poop yourself.

You will have to work out your problems over a few thousand years. It will take that long for the masses to figure out and agree on better ways to live. Don't expect peace and food for everyone to show up over night.

D: I believe there is truth in what you say, but that doesn’t stop me from buying lottery tickets. I still dream.

G: Good night Duane.

D: Good night Galen

Who Captured the ETs?

2009-03-20T23:53:00.000-07:00

The extraterrestrials I have been visiting are all from the same space ship. I prefer to not use the term UFO or Unidentified Flying Object, because the space ship is not unidentified, although it is a flying object. I will call it a space ship.

I have never asked Galen or GC, my ET friends, about the circumstances of their capture and the situation they presently find themselves in. That will be the subject of my trip tonight.

Friday, March 20, 2009 10:39m p.m. I concentrate on visiting Galen

Duane: Hello Galen. It seems exceptionally bright in here tonight.

Galen: Hello Duane. Yes, I can turn up the brightness to help boost my energy level. It works well when I am not exhausted. For stronger energy, I retreat to that regeneration room.

D: We have never talked about the crash of your ship and your capture. You told me there were seventeen of you on the ship and that only six of you survived, but that is as far as we went with our discussion.

What happened after the crash?

G: We were collected by people dressed in uniforms. They were undoubtedly military, probably soldiers, but that’s a guess. They hustled us into the back of a large truck and drove us under guard to a military base where we were put on a plane.

I don’t know if they were disguising our ultimate destination or if they were being sent from one command to another. The result was that we were taken to several bases. Maybe the planes needed refueling or changes of crews.

We ended up here. We arrived on a dark night so I can’t tell you much about this place except that we are mostly underground.

D: Are your captors mostly military people?

G: I don't believe so. The people we are in contact with never wear uniforms. I don't like to call them captors or guards. They are more like supervisors.

D: Can you read their minds and find out who they work for?

G: We have tried. Whoever the ultimate people at the top are, the controllers we call them, they are very clever. They have established multiple levels of control and reporting so that the individuals that are in direct contact with us have no information about their chain of command. We do know, however, that they are all engineers.

D: Why aren’t you working on the ship with your friends?

G: I have no knowledge about the craft, so I have been allowed to spend my time reading. They furnish me with almost any books I ask for. I say almost, because they do hold back on anything that they feel for whatever reason that I shouldn’t read.

D: Why would they let you study us like that?

G: I don't know their motives. Perhaps they think I will return the favor and help them learn about us.

D: I am losing my concentration. I have to leave. Good night. I would wish you pleasant dreams but I know you don't sleep.

G: Good-bye Duane.

God Exists

2009-03-19T23:59:00.000-07:00

Some people would argue that there is no God. If I told them I spoke with God, these people would definitely have a problem with that. There are many millions of other people who do believe in God. Maybe they don't all believe in the same way and they may even have different concepts of God. But, they believe.

Alas, I am afraid some of these believers would also have a problem with my speaking with God. I must tell you this: God exists. God is alive. In my travels, I do not meet with dead people. I do not channel dead spirits. I remote travel to see existing places and things. I speak to all types of individuals in my travels.

One night I was considering that if God existed I should be able to concentrate on traveling to see Him and talk with Him. I was privileged to be transported to an entity that identified Himself as God. My travels never fail to take me to where I concentrate on going. I didn’t question what or who I was seeing. We had a short conversation and I left.

I have thought about the idea that God is everywhere. Galen illustrated that for us last night. If God is everywhere, then how could I see Him as a singular entity?

What I saw was a large white amorphous cloud with eyes and a mouth. I described Him once before as looking more like Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars than a human or extraterrestrial. How could this be, I have asked myself.

The only answer I can come up with is that everything I see or hear on travels is a product of my mind making interpretations. Whatever God really is, or wherever He is, my mind interpreted it to what I saw and heard that night.

I asked Galen to explain how God came into existence. Galen recommended I speak to the Creator Himself.

Thursday, March 19, 2009 10:36 p.m. My room is very quiet, a very fitting scene for my trip. I concentrate on traveling to meet with God.

I find myself in His presence.

Duane: Hello God. I suppose that is you. Why do you look that way to me?

God: Hello Duane. Would you rather I look like this (I see someone that looks like Merlin the Magician) or this (I see a plain looking man dressed in a business suit) or this (I see the amorphous cloud.)

D: I’ll settle for this. (The cloud.) The other figures look too common and too uninspiring.

God: What can I do for you this evening? (As if He didn’t already know.)

D: I would like to ask You how You came into existence.

God: That’s easily answered. I’ve always been here. I am everywhere. I encompass everything.

D: Now we are getting into an area where I have trouble thinking. I can’t envision the concept of an expanding universe. If You are everywhere and the universe is continually expanding does that mean You are also expanding?

God: No. Everything is already in place. You are limited in what you can see. What you can’t see is everything that is already there. The things you call the universe, the galaxies of stars and planets are all expanding and moving into the existing stuff you call empty space.

There is no empty space. The galaxies are moving into an area that has always existed. It existed before the so-called big bang took place. That big bang was just a release of all those things so they could have room to move around. Everything has always existed.

D: I sure have a lot of problem with that.

God: You have used the description of a dot on a piece of paper to describe dimensions. The dot is in a two dimensional world. If it could think, it would have no idea of the concept of three dimensions.

Actually, even three dimensions don’t exist. In reality, there is no such thing as dimensions. Humans made that concept to help them describe things they were seeing. The concept of dimensions is limiting. Maybe some day you will grow beyond that.

D: Is the concept of God also something we will grow out of?

God: No. That is something you are growing into. Everyone for millions of years has seen things happen to themselves and to others that could only be explained by something beyond themselves. They started calling that concept by many names. Tonight we are using the name God. Trust me, the truth is bigger than anything you could call Me.

D: Thank you for taking the time to talk with me.

God: No problem. You only have a few more than six billion people on Earth and you can’t imagine how many more there are in total existence. I can talk to all of you at the same time.

Try that with your telephone companies.

Good night.

D: Good-bye and good night God.

God and ETs

2009-03-18T23:24:00.000-07:00

I think an even bigger mystery than that involving the extraterrestrials, their origins and relationship to us humans, is the mystery of God. If you have been following the comments to these blogs, you know that one of my Grandsons is interested in the ETs philosophy on God.

The human race has established many religions to help different peoples handle their differing relationships with God. Some people would say there are many Gods. Some would say their God is the only true God and he is different from yours.

I would like to hear the ETs take on how they think God contacts us. Or do they have any idea on how God came into existence.

Wednesday, March 18, 2009 8:59 p.m. I travel first to visit my ET friend Galen.

Duane: Hello Galen. I see you are in the midst of your favorite pastime, reading.

Galen: Hello Duane. Yes. I am looking forward to learning about your Civil War book.

D: I know. I have been busy with a lot of other things. I am also not quite sure I want to give up my internal voice to speed up my reading.

G: When you decide, I am ready to help you.

D: I want to ask you tonight about your thoughts on God, and how do you think He talks to us.

G: You have been in God’s presence and spoken with Him directly. How did He talk to you?

D: Like you do.

G: The difference is that you were speaking with God’s presence that He was offering to you. A presence that was acceptable to you, albeit not what you probably expected.

However, God can speak to us at any time. Not just when we visit Him like you did. We usually are too busy to listen. Or we don’t believe it is happening and ignore the message.

You have learned that God is Omni-present. He is everywhere. Do you know what that really means? Let me illustrate.

Imagine picking up a rock. You look at it. It is solid. Or is it? What if you had a microscope that could see on the atomic level. You use it to look at the rock and you see many small particles flying around. It would seem like you were standing in an open field at night looking up at the stars. There is a lot of empty space between you and the stars. There is a lot of empty space between the stars. God fills that space.

In the rock there is more empty space than there are particles. God fills that empty space. He is in the rock. That empty space fills everything, and God is in all of it. He is in you and me. The rock, and you and me look solid because our eyes can’t see on the ultra-microscopic level. So we think there is no room for anything there. We are wrong.

Because God is in us wherever we go, it is an easy task for Him to send us a message. The problem is with us receiving His message.

Slap your hands together.

D: (I clap my hands.)

G: You brought your hands together. Not me. You did it. You are in both your hands, you willed them to get together and they joined. Let’s say God wants you to get together with another individual. God is in both of you. He wills you to get together. He is bringing two parts of Himself together. Now that doesn’t sound any more miraculous than you bringing your two hands together.

D: I have another question. How did God come into existence?

G: I don’t have the answer to that any more than you do. Why don’t you ask Him. I have never visited Him. I have no interest there. You are ahead of me in that.

D: Thank you Galen. It’s been interesting. Good night.

G: Good night Duane. I enjoyed our conversation tonight, too.

Extraterrestrials Study Humans

2009-03-17T22:42:00.000-07:00

Why do extraterrestrials study humans? Apparently they have been doing it for thousands of years. ETs are so much further advanced than we are, why would they be so interested in us?

I am in a unique position to get answers to these questions. I have an extraterrestrial acquaintance. I call him a friend. He is a good sport about helping me to understand his kind and how they live. Let’s see what he has to say about this.

Tuesday, March 17, 2009 7:34 p.m. I travel to visit my ET friend Galen.

Duane: Hi Galen. I see you are in your regeneration room. Time to refuel?

Galen: Yes. I was feeling a need for a little boost in energy.

D: The warmth feels good to me tonight. We had a couple of inches of snow at our house last night. I am looking forward to a warmer spring.

I would like to ask you about your interest in us humans.

G: Yes, I know. (There he goes, reading my mind again.) I’ll save you some time and get right into it. (Hmm. Sometimes this mind reading can be useful.)

It may be difficult for you to grasp the thoughts I want to get across to you because the basic structure of our way of living is so dependant on the length of our lives, and yours is so different from ours.

Your life span of up to seventy to one hundred years is so much shorter than ours. I hesitate to even give you a glimpse of my age because you may discard it as so much garbage. Let’s just say I am a few thousand years old.

Imagine that you are close to a hundred years old. You have spent your life learning, say 20% of the time; working, let’s say another 45%; and if you are lucky, the last 35% you will be enjoying the fruits of your labor.

What if you’re not lucky. What if you have had a poor life. What if , then, all of a sudden you had another one hundred years to turn things around, learn something new and make another totally different life for yourself. Can you get a little feel for how we feel about our longer life?

D: Yes. A little. However, if I felt hopeless and maybe had a debilitating illness I don't know that I would want another hundred years of that.

G: That is another subject. For now, consider that you would be in perfect health, both body and mind.

Let’s take those percentages and apply them to me. Just for sake of a talking point, let’s say I am ten thousand years old. If I spent 20% of my life studying, I would be learning for 2,000 years. If I spend 45% working, that is 4,500 years. If I were studying foreign life, like you humans, I would be doing it for a long time, like thousands of years.

Does that help you?

D: Yes, a little. But why would you study us? We are so primitive compared to you.

G: Why do you study dinosaurs? They have been gone for millions of years.

D: I don't study dinosaurs. I find them boring. But I see your point.

G: We get a lot of pleasure out of getting together and comparing our studies. We don't have to physically meet, you know, to get together.

D: Yes, I know.

G: With over six billion people on Earth, there is a lot for us to study. There are thousands of us and we have a lot to do. You are very interesting subjects.

When one of us quits or decides to do something else, there are others to take our place. This can go on for many thousands of years.

D: I’ve got to think about these things. Good-bye Galen.

G: Good night Duane.

St. Patrick’s Day

2009-03-16T23:26:00.000-07:00

I was thinking about St. Patrick’s Day coming up tomorrow and that brought up thoughts about the ETs. I tried to figure out how they would handle such celebrations. They don’t have days or months or years to use as a reference.

I wonder if my ET friend Galen can explain how they handle annual celebrations, or do they even have such things.

Monday, March 16, 2009 2:45 p.m. I travel to visit Galen.

Duane: Hi, Galen. You probably know from your reading that tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day. On your home planet, do you celebrate such things?

Galen: I take it you mean do we celebrate an individuals accomplishments with some sort of special activity.

D: Yes. I am particularly interested because we use our calendar to identify when a certain time of year happens every year. You don’t have years. How do you do it, if you do it at all?

G: An individual’s name is associated with their accomplishment. For example, say I create a new tool. My name is attached to it. Every time someone uses that tool, or refers to it, they use my name.

Our homes have our names attached to them, forever. When I die, that home becomes a museum of my life.

D: I have to leave to perform some errands. I’ll check in again tonight.

G: See you later.

9:33 p.m. I travel to visit Galen, again.

D: I’m back.

G: Hi Duane.

D: We were talking about celebrations of an individuals’ accomplishments.

G: Yes. I must explain something to you that may be difficult for you to fully comprehend. We don’t have the need that you humans have for self-aggrandizement or the seeking of adulation. We do things because we are interested in learning, or examining, or making something better. Just for that purpose alone do we do something and not for some monetary payback.

What do you know about St. Patrick?

D: I did some research on him today. I found out that he isn’t Irish and he didn’t drive the snakes out of Ireland. Ireland never had any snakes and still doesn’t. Not because of St. Patrick. It is because the cold seas around Ireland prevent snakes from migrating there.

G: So St. Patrick is being celebrated for basically false myths about him.

D: Yes.

G: Interesting. And how does that further understanding of truth and knowledge? You don't have to answer that.

I think I like our way better.

D: To each his own. I have to leave. Good night Galen.

D: Good night Duane.

Out of the Closet

2009-03-15T23:43:00.000-07:00

One of my grandfathers taught me how to remote travel. He used it to help friends find long lost relatives. I used it a couple of times to get something I wanted. After I retired, I used it to escape from boredom and add a little excitement to my life.

I was afraid to tell anyone about my remote traveling. I thought it was too weird for my friends to accept. Then one day I read about a one time secret government project called remote viewing. It was similar to my remote traveling except it wasn’t used to carry on conversations with people met on the trips. The government used it as a spy tool. I figured that if it was acceptable to the government it couldn't be too weird for me. I started to talk about it.

Some people still won’t be able to accept my travels as anything more than fantasy, especially because I have chosen to visit with extraterrestrial aliens. So be it. I have proven to myself that what I do is real. I only ask others to accept that there may be more to reality than what our parents or schools have taught us.

Read deeply into physicists work and you will find things that are beyond common knowledge. I find three things extremely interesting:

1. No one has found a particle that exhibits the characteristics of mass. Every time physicists think they have found one, they break it down and only find energy.

2. The universe is made of more things that cannot be seen than are seen. Physicists have calculated the weight of everything and found it doesn’t account for all that must be there. What, and where, is it?

3. The speed of light is not a limitation on how fast things can travel.

I remember reading stories about the first automobiles. A doctor predicted that they would never travel faster than ten miles per hour because the human brain couldn’t stand the acceleration and would be destroyed. Consider this, the Earth is approximately 8,000 miles in diameter. A person standing at the equator is being slung around the Earth at 8,000/24 hrs (it rotates about once in 24 hours) or 333 miles per hour.

However, you can add to that the speed of the Earth travelling around the Sun. Distance of Earth to Sun is about 93,000,000 miles. (It varies a couple of million miles) That makes the path around the Sun about pi times the diameter = 3.14 x 2 x 93,000,000 miles or about 584 million miles. Earth travels that distance in about 365.25 days (No, a year is not 365 days—remember leap year) which is about 8,766 hours. So, Earth is traveling at 584,000,000/8,766 = 66,620 mph. Add to that the rotation speed of the Earth and a person is whisking through space at 66,953 mph. Yes, I know, they are going slower when they are on the side of the Earth nearer to the Sun. It makes a person reel just to think about what is going on. Moreover, we don't even feel it.

Everyone is familiar with summer and winter. Just to blow your mind a little more, Earth is closer to the Sun on January 3 by about 1.5 million miles than it is on the fourth of July. Look it up if you don't believe me.

Two hundred years ago if you told someone you could talk into a thing the size of a match box that you held in your hand and someone on the other side of the Earth could instantaneously hear you and talk back, you might be considered off your rocker.

Most people today couldn’t explain how a television program is broadcast. Many can’t even hook up a high definition receiver and make it work.

So, am I a kook? Am I weird? Or am I one of those of us who is just doing something that is a little ahead of our time. Perhaps everyone will be doing it in the next hundred years. Google 'Remote Viewing' and read what they say.

All I can promise you is that I am not making this stuff up. I don't know how it works. I just use it. Kinda like electricity.

If you have a question you would like me to ask the ETs, just click on ‘comments’ below and ask away. Maybe we will both learn something.

Extraterrestrial Babies Part II

2009-03-14T20:36:00.000-07:00

The idea that it is possible to live many years and never have any desire to make babies is absolutely so foreign to me that I have trouble understanding the feeling. Extraterrestrials must have a significantly different attitude about life. They live for thousands of years, they have no sexual desires, they have no need to eat, and they don’t sleep. What the heck is left?

Galen told me they spend a lot of time investigating and studying things. They travel a lot, at least the astronaut types travel a lot. Someone could spend a lifetime studying just one race of humans from Earth. What if that lifetime was 26,000 years? A person sure could study a lot of races in 26,000 years.

I made my next trip a few days after the one I reported on yesterday. Here’s how it looked in my journal.

Sunday, January 11, 2009 3:50 p.m. I concentrate on visiting GC. He greets me.

GC: Hi Duane

Duane: Hi

GC: You have several questions, I see. (He has been reading my mind again. This is always a surprise to me. I don't know if I could ever get used to that.)

D: Yes.

GC: To answer your first question, we have a total population of about fifteen million. Of these, about 100,000 are astronauts.

We don’t usually bother with taking count. There is no interest. It is very stable.

When someone dies, it is a rather traumatic experience. They have been around for so long that they have many friends to grieve for them.

A sort of lottery is made, actually more like what you do when you choose straws to make a decision, to choose the individuals who will mate and replace our lost member.

When the baby is born, a great many people support the new family for years. I’m using your designation for years.

It takes a long time to train one of our young ones to use all of their abilities.

In the case of our astronauts, a different system is used.

(My subconscious starts to kick in and I take my leave. My intellect has a problem understanding how you can draw straws to choose which female will do the baby making. And what did GC mean by a different system for astronauts?)

Almost a week goes by before I have another opportunity to travel to the ETs.

Saturday, January 17, 2009 8:43 p.m. I visit GC.

D: Last time I was here, we were talking about choosing females to be mothers and you mentioned it was like drawing straws. I can’t understand how that would work.

GC: I think that was your interpretation of what I was saying. How it works is this. There is a pool of females established from many who desire to be mothers. They are examined and investigated to determine their suitability.
Many factors are considered. For normal births, a male and female couple who have been living together for a while are chosen. There may be many couples whose names are put into the pool. One couple is chosen and they are prepared to become parents.

In the case of astronauts, any suitable woman may be chosen, because there is a lot of manipulating of the egg and sperm to make an astronaut.

(My journal stops there. I must have left in a hurry because I didn’t say good-bye. There may have been a good show on TV.)

Extraterrestrial Babies

2009-03-13T15:53:00.000-07:00

On Valentine ’s Day, I was talking to one of my ET friends about love (February 14, Love is in the Air). He explained it as being a close relationship between individuals. I previously had a conversation with another ET, my other friend, GC, about his family life. It shed a little more light on this baby making business.

Thursday, January 8, 2009 10:14 p.m. I traveled to visit my friend GC. I wanted to get some more information from him about his personal life.

I asked him if he knew his parents and if he ever lived with them. He said his mother was a female and made herself available for babies. It is handled like a factory, almost. Gestation periods for his type people, the astronauts, was almost six months.

He only spent a short time with his mother and was then moved to a group home with many others like himself. This was mainly because of their special needs.

I asked GC what special needs his kind had as children. He said it was mainly the need for a proper kind of light. They get their nourishment through their skin. It is similar to how we get some of our nourishment when we go out into the sun. Our body, actually our skin, absorbs sunlight and makes vitamin D. We could also get vitamin D from pills or from eating the right kind of foods.

The astronaut ETs get all of their nourishment from the light that falls on their bodies. They have to be shielded from some of the radiation because it can harm them. That is about the only sickness they get.

Because their body systems are so much simpler than ours are, they don't need as many different kinds of foods as we do.

I asked him if his mother was like him. He said she is very similar to us humans. She can eat and has the body functions we have.

He said his mother could leave the astronaut making program whenever she wanted. She was able to get pregnant and give birth to her own kind, both males and females.

Of course they live so long that they don't need to be continually making babies like we humans do. They may only have one every two or three thousand years. They don’t have anything like libido. They almost have to be coerced into having babies.

I said good bye so I could get this recorded before I forgot it and said I would be back. GC said that would be fine, they always enjoyed a break from their work.

I made a note of a couple of questions to ask on my next visit.

1. What is their population?

2. If they don’t have much sex and aren’t driven to make babies, like us humans are, then how do they decide when to have a baby? Who makes the decision?

Extraterrestrial Music

2009-03-11T21:58:00.000-07:00

Music seems to be universal. At least here on Earth. Natives in the most difficult to reach locations in Africa, Australia, and Brazil all have music of some type.

Angels are pictured playing harps in Heaven. I haven’t been there, so I will have to take the word of the artist. Although I would bet the artist hadn’t been there either.

How about extraterrestrials—do they have music in their lives? I would like to ask this of my ET friends. This is a tough question to get a straight answer on. I don't know if I can trust my subconscious to stay out of the conversation.

Wednesday, March 11, 2009 8:35 p.m. I am visiting my friend Galen, but I am having a terrible time with my concentration. I forgot to go to the bathroom. Excuse me a minute.

That’s a little better. It is still difficult to keep my mind on Galen.

Duane: Hello Galen.

Galen: Hello Duane.

D: I’m having a difficult time keeping my concentration. Can you help me with it?

G: Is that Better? (He must have done something.)

D: Yes. I want to ask you something tonight but I am concerned that my subconscious may try to superimpose answers into our conversation. Can you shut down my subconscious so it doesn’t interfere?

G: Sure. Done. Now what was your question?

D: I don’t remember. I can’t find it.

G: That’s all right. I read your mind before I shut you down. You are inquiring about our ability to make music.

D: Yes. Do you have music on Nibiru?

G: Oh yes. It isn’t much different from yours. Of course, we astronauts don’t have voices but I have heard you humans sing. It is similar to our human types back home.

D: Where did you hear our music? You told me you couldn’t watch TV because of the flicker.

G: Our captors let us have radios after they took the television away. For some reason they quickly took the radios away, too, but not before we heard some of your music.

D: Why would they take the radios away? They let you read books. I haven’t seen any magazines or newspapers around but I would imagine they let you have those. What is wrong with radios?

G: I think they were afraid we would learn too much about your electronic circuitry.

D: So, what kind of musical instruments do you have.

G: Anything that doesn’t require blowing into, for us astronauts. We have vibrating string instruments, but our scales are much different from yours. I’m not a musician, but I know we have differences.

Even so, there are many similarities. After all, music is based on science. Notes make pleasing sounds when played in certain combinations and those combinations and progressions all depend on the laws of physics.

I’ve told you before, we have the same laws of physics that you do. We just know more about them.

We know about rhythms and melodies. It would be interesting to see if you could receive some music from me.

D: I don't know about that. I can barely carry a tune any more.

I get something in my head that sounds like Rum, diddy, rum, diddy, diddy, rump, rump, rump.

D: It is difficult for me to translate that in to music.

G: Okay. I’m unblocking your subconscious. Go write this down. Good night.

D: Thanks. Good night.

Angels

2009-03-08T22:50:00.000-07:00

There seems to be a universal suggestion that if you don’t want to start an argument with a friend then don’t bring up the subject of religion or politics. I do believe that with some people you can’t even inquire about their political or religious beliefs without bringing on a firestorm. I think those people are the least secure in their beliefs. They truly want to believe in something but they have no understanding of what they have chosen to believe in.

I want to ask Galen what he believes about angels. I have no idea how he will take my question. I hope he understands that I am merely inquisitive and I am not trying to make him defend his position, whatever it may be.

Sunday, March 8, 2009 4:56 p.m. I make myself comfortable and concentrate on traveling to see Galen.

I find him in his regeneration room, or whatever he calls this room with the white walls and bright lights.

Duane: Hi Galen.

Galen: Hello Duane.

D: What can you tell me about angels?

G: I know what many humans think about angels. Every religion I have read about believes in angels. Non-religious people also believe in angels.

I will tell you my own beliefs, based on the knowledge I have accumulated over the thousands of years I have been studying every species imaginable.

First, I will tell you what angels are not. They are not messengers from God. God doesn’t need messengers. He, or she, is everywhere. If God wants to give you a message, God will deliver it personally.

That, however, could be a problem. Different people have their own vision of what God looks like. To be accepted, God must present himself, or herself, to each individual as an entity that is not going to cause antagonism. This usually is as a benevolent, passive, friendly human.

Angels have many names and they take many forms. They have been around for hundreds of thousands of years. That is, God has manifested as an angel many times, over the years, to deliver a message.

D: Do angels have wings?

G: Of course not. That is a creation of modern artists. It was an easy way to label a picture of an individual without using words. You see a person with wings and you immediately say to yourself, that’s an angel.

Before you ask, the answer is no, angels don't have halos. That also is a creative artist’s work.

D: Are angels always benevolent?

G: Is God always benevolent? Remember, the angel is God.

Someone once said that angels are only able to do God’s bidding. Of course. That would be like saying that God is only able to do God’s bidding. It sounds a little simplistic when put that way, doesn't it?

D: Yes, I will be thinking of angels in a whole new way.

G: I would like to add something to clarify why God needs to manifest a human looking body. In your travels you have met God. Am I correct?

D: Yes. I really wasn’t ready to disclose that yet.

G: What did God look like to you?

D: Something like an amorphous white cloud, with eyes and a mouth.

G: Like a huge white cloud in the sky?

D: No. More like Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars.

G: Now do you understand why God chooses to look like an angel to some people? Not many people could accept the image that you described to me.

D: Yes. I knew what you meant at the time. I wasn’t ready to broach that subject yet.

G: I just thought that point needed some clarification.

D: Thanks. I’m going to leave you for the night.

G: Good-bye.

D: Good-bye.

Extraterrestrials and Cattle Mutilations

2009-03-07T22:25:00.000-08:00

It seems like every time there is a cattle mutilation reported, the word extraterrestrial shows up in the next sentence.

Who best to ask about this type of activity but an ET?

Saturday, March 7. 2009 8:52 p.m. I travel to visit my ET friend Galen.

Duane: Hi Galen.

Galen: Hello Duane.

D: I may have asked you about cattle mutilations before. I don’t remember. If we did talk about them, I have forgotten and I have too many notes to search. What can you tell me about your connection to cattle mutilations?

G: I have warned you before that I am not an all seeing, all knowing God. Far from it. Let me ask you something. What do you know about American troop’s behavior in Afghanistan? Do you know if they are committing robberies, rapes, and general mayhem?

D: Absolutely not. I mean, no, I don’t know what our troops are doing over there beyond what I read in the newspapers.

G: That is my situation exactly. Unless I come across an individual, either a human or one of us who has that sort of information, how would I know?

A straight answer is that I don’t know of any of us that are carrying out any kind of tests that require mutilation of animals.

I do know this, however: many things happen to animals in the wild after they die. A small animal like a mouse or squirrel would be completely consumed by maggots and other animals within a few short hours of their dying. A large animal such as a cow would have all soft material—eyes, intestines, tongue, lips—eaten quickly. Tougher material like hooves and leathery skin would take longer. If a rancher came across a dead animal after it lay in the open, say, over-night, he would find a strange lot of material left to examine.

D: So you’re saying that what we have been calling cattle mutilations is a natural phenomenon that nature uses to dispose of dead animals.

G: Yes.

D: Could you make contact with others of your kind to see if any of them have been involved in mutilations?

G: That is not a good idea. Other alien species operate at different frequencies than we operate. It’s like tuning a radio, except that once we tune in to another species, they are able to tune in to us. We don’t like broadcasting our information across the galaxy.

D: What about what you and I are doing. Isn’t that communicating with a different species?

G: Yes, but you came across us by accident. You are barely able to get to our frequency and you haven’t learned how to download our memories. We can probe your memory because you haven’t figured out how to shut us out. If we shut down transmissions to unknowns, we also lose contact with our friends.

I would suggest that if you are interested in other species work with cattle that you contact you friend Hurmn at the Galactic Federation. Perhaps he can help you.

D: Thanks Galen. I will do that. Good night.

G: Good-bye.

I concentrate on traveling to see Hurmn (he pronounces it like our Herman.)

Hurmn: Hello, Duane. It’s been a long time since we last talked.

D: Yes. My friend Galen suggested you may be able to help me. I would like to know if any alien extraterrestrials have been responsible for cattle mutilations on Earth.

H: A long time ago, one group started to carry out tests on animals. They were using animals that turned out to be livestock on cattle ranches. We strongly suggested that they refrain from that type of study because it was costly to the ranch owners. We don’t need any bad feelings created between us.

As far as I am aware, those tests stopped. Anything you are experiencing now is a natural phenomenon.

D: Thanks, Hurmn. I am eager to get back to some of the conversations we started a while back.

H: Yes. Do come back. Good-bye, Duane.

D: Good-bye.

Extraterrestrial Art

2009-03-06T20:49:00.000-08:00

Whenever I visit Galen in his apartment, I am never aware of anything on his walls except shelves of books. I have never seen any paintings. I wonder if ETs decorate their homes back on their home planet.

Friday, 6:12 p.m. I am looking for my ET friend Galen. I meet with him in his apartment. Yes, there are lots of books.

Duane: Hi, Galen.

Galen: Hello Duane.

D: I’ve been searching the Argentina news for any information about your friends that crashed the other night. I didn't find anything.

G: Why Argentina?

D: I thought that was where you said they went down.

G: I think we are having one of those bouts of mis-communication. My friends didn’t say anything about where they were. They barely had time to tell me good-bye. I think Argentina was brought up by your sub-conscious. I wasn’t interested in their location so I didn’t bother to investigate.

D: If you do find anything about their location, I would appreciate it if you would pass that on to me.

G: Okay.

D: I would like to ask you something about art. Do you folks have any?

G: We have Galens and GCs and someone who calls himself Ghee Thunderball. I don’t know any Art.

D: Very funny.

G: You were asking about humor the other day. I just thought I would give you a little. I had to read your mind to come up with that. Our word for art or paintings could never be misunderstood to be an individual’s name. You had the workings of that joke in your sub-conscious. I merely pulled it out.

D: All right. What do you have in the way of paintings or creative art?

G: Our planet is as barren as any place could be. No one has ever felt compelled to make drawings of our uninteresting landscapes.

Our astronauts almost all look identical. There isn’t much interest in making portraits of them. We do have different mothers, but differences in our looks are almost non-existent.

We bring bring back pictures of places we have visited. They are pictures in our minds. These pictures are transmitted to tens of thousands in the time it takes your TV stations to transmit a video picture. In our minds, we can recall any picture we have ever seen.

Some of us like to collect pictures and these collectors have galleries at home for displaying the art. Most of us, though, find it more exciting to travel around the universe and see these things for ourselves.

D: When you make paintings, what do you use for materials?

G: We have paper and cloth that looks strikingly like yours. Closer examination and chemical analysis would show a different basic structure. We don’t grow cotton like you do and we don’t have sheep for wool, but we have similar materials. Believe it or not, we have woven cloth and a material similar to your paper. The paper isn’t used much. We don’t have anything like your books.

D: What do you have instead of books?

G: Our information is stored in huge digital data banks. Our personal memories are vast. Even though we live thousands of your years, we can’t learn everything. Not all of us have the same interests, either. The data banks hold everything. As new data becomes available, it goes into the banks to be made available to anyone who is interested.

Information is displayed on data screens. That’s the best I can do to give you an idea how the system works. It is so different from your system that it is difficult to explain. Our screens operate at a much higher frequency than yours do. Do you recall, I told you that we can’t watch your television because the flicker drives us nuts?

D: Yes, I recall, and I feel like my brain will bust trying to figure out what you are telling me. I have to leave. Good-bye, Galen.

G: Good-bye, Duane.

UFO Shot Down

2009-03-04T17:21:00.000-08:00

My sister read that a UFO was shot down last night. In her e-mail to me, she didn’t say where it happened. I couldn’t find anything on the Internet about it. My ET friends don't usually know anything more about this stuff than I do. However, it never hurts to ask.

3:58 p.m. I am traveling early today. I am going to a birthday party tonight for my son-in-law. It's his big five oh and I don’t know what time I will be getting back. I am off to visit Galen.

I am in his apartment but I don't see him. I see the back of his chair and I know he must be here because I was careful to concentrate on visiting him and not his apartment. I move my view around to the front of his chair. There he is. He is slumping down in it, that’s why I didn’t see him.

Duane: Hi Galen.

Galen: Hello Duane.

D: Why so glum?

G: You probably heard there was a crash last night in Argentina and we lost many of our friends. We were very close to them. We spent a lot of time together in school.

D: I am surprised; I have to admit. I thought you would tell me you didn’t get that kind of information.

G: Usually we don’t. But these individuals were extremely close friends, and now they are all gone.

D: How did you hear about it?

G: They contacted us as they were going down. Very sad, and frustrating, to know there is nothing I could do to help them. We just said good-bye.

D: I am sorry for your loss. This is probably a bad time, do you mind if I ask you another question on a different subject?

G: No, go ahead. I would like to stop thinking about my friends for a few minutes.

D: Do you ever bathe? My sister just finished bathing her dog and she was thinking that after a few thousand years you would be pretty dirty.

G: No, we don't bathe. Not even those of us that look similar to humans. Our skin is very sensitive and we would choke if we got wet.

It has only been in the last couple of hundred years that humans bathed regularly. Many aboriginal tribes don’t bathe even today.

D: Don’t you get smelly?

G: First of all, we don't have sweat glands. There is no bacteria to make us smell. Also, consider that our noses don’t have the scent glands that your noses do. We wouldn’t smell each other anyway.

Let me ask you something. Have you ever smelled strong perfume on a person, usually an older woman, and wondered how she could ever stand herself?

D: Oh, yes. Some men, too, wear strong after-shave.

G: Those people don't smell themselves. After being immersed in the same odor for a long time your sense of that particular smell is shut down.

I sense you are searching your memory for an experience you had along those lines.

D: Yes. When I was going to school, I worked at a foundry for several years. I alternated school quarters with quarters at the foundry. The foundry had some very foul smells from materials used in making molds. One quarter when I approached the foundry, I couldn’t believe how sweet it smelled. I thought I was approaching a candy factory. I inquired about it and was told that nothing had changed. Somehow, my mind converted those foul smells into something more acceptable.

G: Very good. Some form of humans has been around for tens of thousands of years. Most of that time they were not taking showers every day.

D: I know. I had a grandfather who took two baths a year, one in the spring and another in the fall. I never smelled anything, and he never looked dirty to me.

G: Case closed. Say hello to your sister for me.

D: I will, Good bye. And again, I am so sorry for your loss.

Nibiru Isn’t Like Earth

2009-03-03T22:51:00.000-08:00

I was reading some old entries in my traveling journals and came across a few that you might be interested in.

Sunday, April 21, 2008 11:50 p.m.

I want to check in with Galen to see if he is willing to talk with me. Our relationship has been rather cool lately.

Duane: Hi Galen. Do you have some time to talk?

Galen: Hi Duane. Sure. Come on in. What’s on your mind?

D: I read some books about a planet that enters our solar system about once every 2,600 years. Is that the planet that you came from?

Suddenly I get a terrific pain in the calf of my right leg. I have never had a pain like that before. I feel like I have been stabbed with a knife. That’s all I can think of for a few minutes.

As sudden as the pain came, it goes away. My thoughts return to Galen. I recall we were talking about his home planet

I look around, but he is gone. That rascal, is he trying to evade my question? I decide to leave.

Tuesday, April 23, 2008 11:40 p.m.

Duane: Hi Galen.

Galen: Hi Duane.

D: Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?

G: No. Go ahead.

D: The other day I was asking about where you came from. Did you come from that planet that Zecharia Sitchin says is called Nibiru. The so-called twelfth planet in our solar system.

For an instant, I expect to get another pain in my leg. Pain is an electrical impulse sent to the brain, and ETs can manipulate our brain electrical circuits. I wouldn’t put it past him to have caused my pain to get out of answering my question. However, this time he gives me a direct answer.

G: Yes. And because it is approaching Earth again you should see a lot more UFO activity.

D: I am sleepy. Good night and thanks for the info.

Saturday, August 16, 2008 10:05 p.m.

Duane: Hi Galen.

Galen: Hello, Duane.

D: Does your planet have a magnetic field around it similar to the one we have around Earth?

G: Yes and no. Yes, we have a magnetic field around our planet but no, it is not like yours.

Your planet’s magnetic field has a north and south pole, caused by the planets’ rotation like a top. There is a pole at the top and another at the bottom. You call them north and south.

Our planet rotates so slowly that for all practical purposes it doesn’t rotate. Nevertheless, we do have, we believe, a huge metallic core that constantly circulates. There is no rotation to stabilize the core so it just heats, cools, and circulates. This makes for a constant but ever changing magnetic field.

We never developed instruments like your compasses because they would be useless for finding directions. They would be constantly changing. Our systems that use any of the planets’ magnetic properties take the constant flux changing into account.

You will experience a somewhat similar condition when, or if, your planets’ magnetic poles flip. Nibiru’s close approach to Earth could cause such a flip. Anything depending on north being what you consider up, and vice versa, will have to be re-calibrated. That’s about all the damage that will occur.

Your magnetic pole flipping will not affect communications or power grids or transportation, except in the case of vehicles that use magnetic compasses for navigation: cars, ships, planes, projectiles, missiles, whatever.

Saying that flipping magnetic poles will cause problems of a dire nature is simply—you have a good word for it—hog wash. Consider this, your poles are constantly moving now and your navigation systems and maps take that into account all the time.

D: Thanks, Galen. Good night.

I remember all the gloom and doom predictions about Y2K. It turned out to be just another day. I think that is what Galen is telling us about the poles flipping. It will be just another flippin' day. I just had to say that.

Extraterrestrials Have Fun

2009-02-28T23:52:00.000-08:00

My sister and I exchange e-mails regularly. We have no set schedules. We just write when the mood strikes us. I suppose our writing is like everyone else’s; one thing leads to another and to another and we end up in strange places sometimes.

Recently we were on the subject of humor. My sister commented that she thought God had a sense of humor because we were made in His image, we were humorous and we must have picked that up from Him.

I wasn’t sure about that. I have never read about anything humorous God had done and I told her so. That must have started her thinking. She asked me about the extraterrestrials. If they have emotions, she wondered, then do they have any humor.

I will explore that with my ET friend Galen tonight.

Saturday, 8:29 p.m. I concentrate on visiting Galen. I meet up with him in his book-filled apartment. He is reading, as usual.

Duane: Hi Galen.

Galen: Hello Duane. I am eager for you to get at the reading of that Civil War book.

D: I know. I thought this speed-reading would go easier than it has. I was hoping all you had to do was snap your fingers, or whatever you do, and my reading would go faster.

G: You can read faster. You have the ability. Your problem is that you can’t shut down the voice in your head that repeats everything you see. You have been reading that way since you started about 75 years ago. I can’t quickly shut that ability down, especially since you really don’t want to change. You are afraid you won't enjoy reading novels any more if you can’t make the characters speak in your head. We have to work on that.

D: I understand. I want to explore something with you tonight. I know you have emotions. You have told me how you feel when one of your friends dies.

G: We have known our friends for the equivalent of thousands of your years. To lose someone that close to you is very traumatic. The best way for us to get over that is to spend a lot of time and energy bringing up their replacement. You can understand how very difficult it is when we lose friends here on Earth, or any other planet away from home. There is no new life to work with. Instead, we try to lose ourselves in our work.

D: Do you have other emotions, such as humor?

G: You have been the receiver of some of our humor. Do you remember Ghee Thunderball?

D: Oh, yes. I wasn’t sure if I could believe his story of rolling bowling balls to make a sound like thunder.

G: I told you he enjoyed changing his name to match up with some story he had created about himself. That is his attempt at humor.

I remember one time on Nibiru we moved a friend’s house and had fun watching his reaction and what he did to find it. We thought that was humorous.

D: I thought most of your dwellings were underground.

G: They are. We just moved the above ground entrance and obscured the hole left in the ground.

D: That brings up another question. What do you do for fun, besides move friends’ houses?

G: We explore. We analyze and create new things. We investigate.

The exhilaration that comes from traveling at tremendous speeds is hard to explain. You asked once if we missed the excitement of sexual relations. I asked you in return if you ever flew at 53,000 miles and hour. It’s not exactly the same thing, but I think you get the idea.

I can’t even try to explain what it’s like to travel faster than light. That experience requires an entirely different way of thinking.

D: Do you play games?

G: Nothing that you would call a game. Take your game of chess. It would be meaningless if both players knew everything in each other’s minds. That’s how it would be if two of us played chess. We don't play those kind of games.

Your games require outmaneuvering other players by guessing what they will do. All the fun and excitement is gone when you know what everyone is thinking.

D: Do you play different kinds of games?

G: Some of us get a lot of enjoyment out of predicting what foreign civilizations will do with the knowledge they have. It is interesting to see what new things they develop or new methods they come up with to operate their governments, if they even have such a thing. There are so many places to visit and so much to explore that it seems almost endless.

D: Thanks again Galen. It has been an interesting night.

G: Your welcome. Good night.

D: Good night.

The Future of the United States

2009-02-26T23:51:00.000-08:00

I haven’t given up on my speed-reading. I have had too many other things that took up my time. I did work on reading the narrow newspaper columns faster to improve my peripheral vision. The hardest part is concentrating on speed. I continually fall back on my old habits. Before I know it, I have finished an article and only read the first couple of paragraphs using the speed techniques.

Tonight I want to explore Galen’s ability to make predictions. He has a huge database in his vast memory that he should be able to use to predict trends. I am thinking of that saying about being ignorant of history condemns you to repeat it.

7:34 p.m. I concentrate on traveling to visit Galen. I find him sitting in a very brightly lit room. The walls are white and empty of any pictures or bookshelves. It feels a little overly warm.

Duane: Hi, Galen.

Galen: Hello Duane.

D: What happened to all of your books?

G: I still have them. This is my regeneration room. I come in here when I feel that I need a boost of energy. It is like you sitting down to a big meal. I come in here and feed on energy.

D: I haven’t given up on speed-reading. I haven’t had time to sit down for a good practice session. That’s why I haven’t contacted you for a boost in my abilities.

G: Thanks for explaining why I haven’t seen you lately.

D: You have a large database of information at your disposal in the huge memory you have accumulated over the thousands of years you have been around. I was wondering if you could use your total recall ability and search your memory for similar conditions that we are going through and maybe predict some outcome for us. Not necessarily for all the humans on Earth. I am primarily interested in the United States.

G: You may not like my answers. Just remember that I am only telling you what I see based on the way things have happened in the past. The things I tell you may never happen. External circumstances can change the outcome.

One big external happening is the next coming of Nibiru. That could cause many difficulties on Earth in the next twenty to fifty years. Nibiru passing nearby usually causes magnetic and gravitational forces that can raise havoc on Earth, as well as on nearby planets. The actual conditions are difficult to predict. Earth may have stabilized somewhat over the last two thousand years, since Nibiru was here last, and its effects may be minimal.

How humans handle these conditions could change what I am going to tell you.

Every successful civilization on any planet we have studied has always had detractors. Enemies who were jealous of the success.

The very success of one civilization is the root of their demise. Success includes freedom for the inhabitants and that freedom allows the detractors the extension of their power and eventual destruction of the successful group.

Know this, though. If the detracting group gets their act together and overcomes the problems that made them unsuccessful in the first place, they will eventually become successful and will be the new group to be envied.

D: You’re telling me you see this huge circle of civilization dooming our countries present way of life?

G: Not necessarily. You asked me to make a prediction based on what I saw in past history. That’s what I saw and what I told you.

D: Who do you see as the bad guy who is jealous of us?

G: Your country has had many wars. The worst one, in terms of casualties, was an internal war. Some of you call it the Civil War. From what I have read I believe that you could have another internal war. It would not be the illegal alien Mexicans; they would like to see your country flourish. Your enemy is the hateful, extremist, so-called Muslims. They are not true Muslims. They are terrorists with one goal: to destroy your country and occupy it. Your democracy allows everyone to have equal rights. The terrorists will use that against you.

Your government must figure out how to control the extremists without forcing everyone else to give up their rights. The task is a difficult one and we are eager to see how you handle it.

D: Thanks. I think I have had enough for one night. Good-bye.

G: Good night.

Speed Reading Needs Improvement

2009-02-19T00:07:00.000-08:00

I followed Galen’s speed-reading instructions and began reading the Civil War book. If you’re interested, the name of the book is “The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War” by H.W.Crocker III, and published by Regnery Publishing, Inc. in 2008.

Reading was not as easy as I thought it would be. I used a piece of paper to cover all the typing on a page and then slowly moved the paper down to expose a line at a time. That way I could quickly find the next line.

I found I had to focus on three spots on the line to be able to see all the words. My peripheral vision needs some improvement.

The toughest part of reading fast is the part about shutting off my mind. My mind keeps repeating the words I read. I found that forcing myself to read faster helped shut off the words. However, old habits die hard, someone said, and I believe it. I was only able to shut off the voice in my head for a few seconds. Then it would start up again.

I see this speed-reading is going to take some practice. I did read about 25 pages in half an hour. I estimate there are about 340 words on each approximately eight by ten-inch page. That calculates out to about 250 words a minute, more than twice as fast as I was reading before. I expected more. I will see if Galen can help me improve on this speed. His working on my mind should be able to make more of an impact.

9:25 p.m. I concentrate on traveling to visit Galen. I must have been thinking of his apartment because that is where I am. He isn’t here. I must concentrate on him. Here we go. He is with his friends at the space ship.

Duane: Hello Galen.

Galen: Hello Duane.

D: I thought you didn’t work on the ship any more.

G: I don’t, but my friends still do.

Today they were meeting with our captors to make their regular reports. At the same time, they pick up information from the humans by reading their memories. We are learning about the political and economic turmoil going on in your country. We are interested in how you people are responding. I came over here to gather my friends’ thoughts to include in my own research.

One of your greatest problems has to do with medical services. The question is who should get them and who should pay for them. All of this could be eliminated if you humans were more like us. We have almost no diseases or ailments. The down side is that this good health does away with many health worker jobs. We only need medical help for things like accidental mishaps.

It is too bad that we were in such a hurry to create humans that we didn’t take the time to work out all of your problems. This should be a major research project for your biological scientists. Fixing your DNA could eliminate one heck of a lot of your medical expenses.

I think you didn’t come here to see what I was doing.

D: That’s right. I am having some problems with my speed-reading. I would like to improve my peripheral vision for one thing.

The other thing may be more of a problem. I can’t shut off my mind from voicing the words as I read them. I can stop it for fifteen or twenty seconds, but then I revert to my old ways and I hear the words in my mind again. Can you shut that off?

G: On your first problem: tomorrow practice reading a newspaper fast. Newspapers have narrow columns. Focus on the center of the column and move down as fast as possible.

D: That will help my peripheral vision. What can you do about the voices in my head?

G: I will shut down your subconscious reading of the words in your mind as you read with your eyes. This mind alteration, however, may be permanent. You will have to decide if you are willing to give up the way you read novels for fun. You may not ne able to hear the words in your mind as you read.

D: I think that it is a chance I am willing to take.

G: I may be able to allow your mind to switch the talking off and on, depending on whether you are reading fast or slow.

D: That would be great.

G: Okay. I am making the changes in your mind. Check in with me immediately before you start reading tomorrow so I can reinforce the changes. Good night for now.

D: Thanks again and good night.

Speed Reading

2009-02-17T23:54:00.000-08:00

Speed Reading

I promised my ET friend Galen that I would read a politically incorrect book on the Civil War. He reads a lot of books. They are his main source of information on the workings of our human race.

Galen told me his captors are selective in the books they provide. He would like to bypass their subtle censoring by having me read some of those otherwise unavailable books. When I visit him, he will read my memory and in effect, he would read the books second hand.

In exchange for my reading services, he agreed to help me improve my reading speed. As a first step in this process, he asked me to write down what I knew about speed-reading. I have no idea what the next step is, but tonight I may find out.

10:20 p.m. Earlier this evening I made a list of five things I remember from reading an article on speed-reading many years ago. I have it on the table in front of me as I start my trip. I concentrate on traveling to meet with Galen.

Duane: Hello Galen.

Galen: Hello Duane. Are you ready for our speed-reading session?

D: Yes. I prepared that list as you asked.

G: Okay. Read it aloud. I don’t mean out loud using your voice. Open your eyes and read every word as if you are talking to me.

D: Speed Reading Rudiments

1. Don’t read every word.

2. Start each line an inch in from the left and stop an inch before the end.

3. Work on seeing as much with your peripheral vision as possible so you eventually can read each line with only two glances.

4. Move quickly from the end of one line to the beginning of the next line.

5. Don’t pronounce the words in your mind as you read them.

G: Very good. You have taken the first step in our little process.

D: What do you mean?

G: You have called up from your memory something you read about many years ago. That starts some of the synapses to work. You read that to me just as you would read a book. That is fine for reading novels, where you like to enjoy the conversation between characters.

When you are reading for information, you must especially remember that last item in your list. Don’t say the words in your mind as you read them.

I will help your mind absorb the writing and put it into memory as fast as you move your eyes.

Do you believe that will happen?

D: I’m not sure. I will know more when I see it happen.

G: That’s not good enough. If you don’t trust me, it won’t work.

Remember how I help you go to sleep when you lie awake and toss and turn?

D: Yes. I ask you to put me to sleep and I am gone in a few seconds.

G: Trust me. I work on your mind. This reading and understanding and memory thing works the same way.

D: Is this something that is going to improve in steps and take a while.

G: You don’t know it intellectually, but you have the ability to speed-read at a tremendous rate right now.

However, you will have to take this new ability of yours in steps. As you believe in each level you reach, you will be ready to advance to the next level.

It’s up to you how fast you advance. Another way to look at it is that it depends on how fast you believe in yourself.

Good luck and good-bye.

D: Good-bye and thanks. I’m eager to get started.

Love is in the Air

2009-02-14T00:07:00.000-08:00

I am writing this early on Friday night. It is almost Valentine’s Day here on the Pacific side of the country. The east coast has been February 14 for a couple of hours. My dear sister would like to pose a question to my ET friend, Galen that fits in with the day.

It’s quiet around the house, so I decide to travel a little early again tonight. I was able to travel the other night without any interruptions; let’s see if I can pull it off again tonight.

9:53 p.m. I concentrate on traveling to visit Galen. He is in his usual easy chair, reading, in his apartment.

Duane: Hi, Galen.

Galen: Hello, Duane.

D: February 14 in my country is a special day. We make a special effort to recognize someone especially close to us with a warm greeting, maybe some flowers or candy. It is a way to express our love for a special person.

My sister thought it would be a good time to ask you if you know about love.

G: We have talked about this before. I will summarize it for your sister and your readers.

We have extremely long lives when compared to present day humans. Average life spans are between 25,000 and 30,000 of your Earth years. Can you imagine what our planets’ population would be if we had the same sexual desires that you humans have? Can you imagine the problems such a huge, over crowded population would cause? In a few words, if you equate love to sexual desire, then we have none.

Familial relationships and personal friendships are an entirely different story. We make many close friendships during our long lives. Many relationships are made because of working conditions. For example, take our spaceship. Our crew has been together a long time. I told you before that we had a crew of seventeen. That crew was like a family. Most of our group perished when we crashed. We mourn for those we lost just as humans do for their departed. Is that love?

We celebrate good times together, too. We don't use the word love like you do. We have a concept that is closer to your word bonding. We make many close bonds.

Our bonding does not have sexual overtones to get in the way of our feelings. We know it is the individual we are interested in, not the sexual gratification they can give us. You might call that love.

D: Thanks, Galen. Maybe some day we can expand on some of the relationship stories you’ve told me before.

G: Sounds good. Before you go, tell me, you got the Civil War book?

D: Yes. I have just glanced at a few pages. It looks like it's factual. Stories in it are backed up with references. I would like to schedule a meeting with you to work on my speed-reading.

G: All right. Before we meet, write down anything you recall about speed-reading that you have learned or read about in the past.

D: Will do. Now I have to leave. Good-bye. And Happy Valentine's Day

G: Thanks. Good-bye.

Underwater Spacecraft

2009-02-12T18:50:00.000-08:00

My sister came up with a couple of questions she would like me to ask Galen. It’s a little too early in the afternoon to be traveling. It’s only 4:30 and I usually get interrupted this time of day. There is a loud conversation going on in the kitchen between my wife and two of my grandsons.

I am eager to see what kind of answers I get, so I will take the chance that the noise won't bother me. Hmmm. One of my sons is there, too. He is a little loud. Oh well, let’s see what happens.

4:38 p.m. I concentrate on traveling to visit Galen, my ET friend. I meet him in his apartment.

Galen: Hi Duane

Duane: Hi Galen. I have a couple of questions for you from my sister.

G: Yes, I know.

D: I would like to ask them one at a time so I can keep the discussion in some kind of order.

G: Fine, go ahead.

D: The first question has to do with those craft I have heard referred to as USOs, Unidentified Submerged Objects. My sister asks what you have to say about the UFOs (that's what she calls them) that come from ocean water. Are they real? Do they go down there to get recharged or something?

G: I will start by reminding you that I don't know all the answers to everything. I am not privy to all the plans of all the space travelers. With that said, I will tell you what I do know.

When our spacecraft travels in outer space, we have no problem in keeping it cool. Our craft generates huge amounts of heat, but the exterior surroundings out there are very cold.

Maneuvering in the thick atmosphere of planets, like Earth, causes our ships to overheat sometimes. That’s why you see them dash off into space after doing some tricky maneuvers. They know when they need to get out there and get cooled.

When they wait too long and can’t get to a cool place in space fast enough they have to take emergency measures. Traveling at high speed in the atmosphere causes additional heating. Our instructions are to look for an open water area where we can slowly, (that’s a relative term) drop the ship into the water to cool.

It’s all a matter of timing and it is the chief engineer and the helmsman’s responsibility to make the decision where to cool down.

Do we have underwater bases? I don’t know. We have as many problems under water as humans do. We can’t walk out of our ships under water without special breathing equipment, and we don’t usually carry that equipment with us.

I am not saying there aren’t any underwater bases, but I seriously doubt it.

D: I have another question. My sister wants to know about the Bermuda Triangle. She says her niece was on her (the nieces) husbands boat when all the electric power went out. They were on their way to Bimini Island.

G: There is nothing special, or mystical, about the area some people call the Bermuda Triangle. There are places on Earth that have many mishaps usually caused by bad storms and terrible sea conditions. The Bermuda area is no more nor less dangerous than any other of these areas.

Many places on Earth have magnetic anomalies that disrupt compasses. The magnetic fields are not homogenous around the Earth, and they are constantly changing. People get lost because they read compasses that are off due to a strong magnetic field causing erroneous indications.

As for the power going out on a boat, I can only guess. I wasn’t there. Any strong magnetic field, or electrical disturbance, could affect power on an unprotected boat. The Florida area has significant electrical storms. Your scientists consider the entire state and coastal area the lightning capital of the country. We stay out of there unless we are directed to study it.

I detect that your concentration is fading. You should leave. Good-bye.

D: Good-bye.

Do It Yourself

2009-02-12T00:31:00.000-08:00

Late last night I visited Galen to see if he had any news about my request. I had previously asked him to help me win the lottery. This is how our meeting went:

Duane: Hi Galen

Galen: Hi Duane. I’ll save you some time. You already have your answer.

D: What do you mean?

G: Did you win the lottery last night?

D: No.

G: That’s your answer. The money you want just for reading a book is too much. You say you want enough to buy an expensive digital organ. Well, you will have to work for it, and reading a book is hardly working for it.

I am willing to expand on my offer to help you read faster. I believe I can make your brain change permanent. You would be able to read anything at a faster rate, not just that one Civil War book. Would that be sufficient pay back for helping me?

D: I don't have much choice, do I? I bought the book. Okay. I will agree to read it if you will help me permanently improve my reading ability.

G: Agreed. We will have to meet later so I can instruct you in how to use your new ability.

D: Thank you. I will be looking forward to it. We can set up a meeting time after the book gets here.

G: All right. The meeting won't take long.

D: I’ve been wondering why you are always reading. Why don’t you use television to learn about us? There aren’t any TV sets in any of the places I’ve seen you. There are many good programs about history and geography.

G: Your television makes us sick. I mean literally sick. Our eyes and visual sensory system is capable of seeing things that move at a faster rate than your eyes are capable of seeing.

Many years ago, our captors brought us television sets to help us get acquainted with your culture. They thought they were doing us a favor, but we got physically sick. We couldn’t watch for more than a few minutes because the pictures flickered something terrible. We got headaches and all kinds of mental problems. Those of us who eat got sick to our stomachs.

We had the same problem when they brought in fluorescent lights. We complained so much that they quickly replaced the fluorescents with more even burning incandescent lamps.

Our own lighting systems work at much higher frequencies. I don't know how to explain it because we don't have an equivalent to your cycles per second. We don't have a concept of time as you do.

D: How do you arrange meetings? We would set a future date and time that was agreeable to both of us. How would you do that?

G: We would check in with each other periodically until we found we were both available and then we would get together. Our mental communication system is very superior to anything you may have.

We don’t need as many physical meetings as you humans do. Our mental meetings are just as good as your physical meetings and we don't waste effort by all that physical traveling.

D: That is difficult for me to understand. You must live a completely different kind of life from us.

G: You would be surprised. I think that’s enough for now. Good-bye.

D: Good-bye.

Talking with ETs is not a Joke

2009-02-10T00:01:00.000-08:00

“Is this tongue-in-cheek?” “What in the world are you talking about? I don't understand it. It’s over my head.” “You should quit before you go off the deep end.” These are some of the questions and comments put to me about my Conversations with ET journal. I feel it is necessary to clear up some of the fog. I don’t want to be misunderstood.

When I write about my ET friend, Galen, it is not tongue-in-cheek. I am not trying to be funny. I am dead serious. None of my conversations are made up.

I don't write while I am on a journey. I write about it when I return. I do my best to repeat the dialogue exactly as it happened. However, I don't have the perfect recall ability of the aliens. The words are as close as I can make them to the reality of the meeting as my memory allows.

What I am doing may be difficult to understand for someone new to the subjects of remote viewing, or astral traveling, or out-of-body-experiences. What I am writing about is a true recollection of my meeting with an alien extraterrestrial during a remote traveling journey.

To learn more about any of these mind opening experiences and abilities read about them on the Internet or get a book from the library. I’m not making this stuff up. Many people have written about similar experiences and abilities. There is plenty of information on the subjects available.

Remote traveling that I do is similar to the U.S. federal government remote viewing program. Only I don’t merely view the subjects, I travel to them and communicate with them. Using my mind only, of course.

“Oh really!” I can hear some of you say. “You must be a little off your rocker.” I assure you I am not off my rocker, and I am not going to quit. I have known about this ability for forty years and my grandfather practiced it for forty years before he told me about it. I have been practicing it for about twelve years.

My belief is that everyone has the ability to use their mind to travel remotely to see things without using their physical body. If I can do it, so can you. If you are willing to open your mind to the possibility that things may exist in this universe that are beyond what we are taught in school, then you may enjoy being part of my travels.

My grandfather passed this information about remote traveling on to me a couple of years before he died. I am passing this on to anyone willing to listen before I die. I will be seventy-nine this summer, so I have to write fast.

I would like to hear from you if you have any questions you would like to have an alien ET answer. I will do my best to get you an answer, especially if I think you are sincere. Or maybe you have a question for me. Feel free to ask away. Just click on the little word, “comment” below.

I show my support

2009-02-06T21:33:00.000-08:00

I did some research today and found the Civil War book I told my ET friend Galen about. I want to tell him about it so that he knows I am willing to support his data collection efforts. How much further I go with this depends on his willingness to support my requests.

8:38 p.m. I am traveling early tonight. I am taking a chance on not being interrupted for a few minutes. My wife, son and grandson are all up and about, but not nearby. I concentrate on traveling to visit Galen again.

He is in his apartment. Reading as usual.

Duane: Hi Galen.

Galen: Hi Duane.

D: I’m here to tell you about that Civil War book.

G: Yes. I know.

D: Let me tell you anyway. I’m not used to this mind reading of yours. I don’t feel comfortable about having a conversation unless I put it into words.

G: Go ahead.

D: I looked through my old e-mail and found the reference to the book. It’s “Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War,” by H.W.Crocker III.

G: The title sounds intriguing.

D: I looked it up on Amazon.com and ordered a copy. I wanted to show you that I am not taking our conversation lightly and that I am sincere in my offer to support your studies.

G: Thank you.

D: I should get the book in a week or two. Whether I read the book depends on a couple of things. I may just go ahead and read it because I find it fascinating enough to take the time. You offered to help me learn to speed read, and I am counting on that.

However, I would like to be compensated for buying the book. I got it for half the regular price but I am still out twelve dollars. I know that isn't much, but I would feel better if I knew you were willing to support my part in this. Maybe it is a little over compensation but I found the organ that I would dearly love to have. It is a Lowrey Palladium. I would need about $20,000 to get it here and pay all my taxes.

G: If I had to give you an answer tonight it would be no. You received an answer from a much higher authority than me when you asked for a large sum of money a while back. You were told to go out and earn it. Reading a book is hardly earning such a large sum as you are asking. I don't know if I can, or should, override that earlier advice. I am still working on it. We will see what happens.

D: Thanks Galen. Good night.

G: Good night.

A Proposal

2009-02-05T22:47:00.000-08:00

I received my book "The Hidden Lincoln" today. A Lincoln scholar may find it interesting. There are 460 pages of correspondence collected by Lincoln's law partner of twenty years, William H. Herndon. I don't know that I would ever find the time to read more than snippets. I would prefer a continuous story to these little pieces of story.

This leads me back to my conversation with my ET friend Galen yesterday. He asked me to read some books that he can't get access to. Then he would tap into my memory and collect the information when I visit him.

Swell. What’s in it for me? When I visit him tonight I’m going to see if I can get something for myself out of this little deal.

10:06 p.m.

I concentrate on traveling to visit Galen. I find him again in his book-filled apartment. He is reading. No surprise there.

Duane: Hi Galen.

Galen: Hi Duane.

D: At the rate you are reading you could go through an entire public library of books in just a couple of weeks.

G: The real work is not reading the books; it’s making sense out of what I read. My work is especially difficult when I only get one side of a story.

Do you remember that Japanese movie Roshomon?

D: I don’t recall the details, but it told the story of a murder as seen through three different peoples’ points of view.

G: That’s right. More points of view give a more complete picture of what really transpired. That’s why I was interested in those alternative views of the U.S. Civil War that you said just came out in a new book. I’m sure that war was more complex than any one author could write about.

D: About that book…

G: I know. You have a proposal for me.

D: Yes. You probably know all about it from reading my thoughts, but I would like to put it into language so I can write about it.

G: Go ahead.

D: I would be willing to buy and read some books for you. I would like some help, and some incentive. Reading a book that I am only slightly interested in doesn’t turn me on. I have too many other things to do that really interest me. However, if you could help improve my reading speed, I would be grateful and could get through the books faster.

I would also like some help paying for the book, or books.

We talked before about the possibility of you helping me to win the lottery. At that time, you said you had no reason to do so. How about now? There are probably a dozen ways you could help me to get the money to purchase the books. To me, with my one-track mind, I fall back on the lottery.

The lottery seems to me to be the easiest way to get a lot of money. You would really be making it worth my while if I won enough to buy one of those big electronic digital organs.

G: I will have to think about this. I have to consider the consequences you may be overlooking. I may have to consult with some more knowledgeable persons to see what we should do. I can’t promise you a quick answer.

Meanwhile, it would be of some help if you found out more about the book and its price.

D: Thanks Galen. I’ll look into that. Good night.

An Unexpected Visit

2009-02-05T00:24:00.000-08:00

I had an unexpected visit from my ET friend, Galen, this morning. I was shaving. While I was concentrating on getting a few whiskers off my chin, a thought flashed through my mind about Galen. I ignored it and kept on shaving. I figured it was my subconscious reviewing last nights traveling.

Then I got a stronger thought that I should contact Galen right now. Hmmm. Maybe he has something for me.

I put down the razor, closed my eyes and rested my forehead in my hands. I felt a little awkward. I didn’t take the time to sit down. I concentrated on traveling to see Galen. I was in a hurry and didn’t take the time to see where he was.

He had a look on his face that said he had something to tell me. His eyes were popped wide open like he was surprised to see me. What the heck. He asked me to come. Here’s how our conversation went.

Duane: Hi Galen.

Galen: Hi Duane.

D: Well. What do you want? I think you sent me a message to come see you.

G: Yes. After our last meeting, I was thinking about the Civil War books you were telling me about. You said there were some new books that told a story different from the commonly accepted history. I told you I didn’t think they would ever let me read those.

I was thinking about that when I got an idea. You could read those books, then come, and visit me and I could get the information from your subconscious memory.

D: I don’t always remember many details about what I read, especially if it’s a long book.

G: It would be better than not reading. There is a difference between remembering and recalling. The information will be in your memory. You just aren’t able to recall it all. However, I can get the information from your memory more easily than you can.

Think about it.

D: OK. I’ve got to get back to my shaving.

G: Good bye.

That request of his would lift our relationship to a new level. I know he has been collecting my thoughts and the thoughts of every human he has met. He has total recall ability and doesn’t have to write anything down. He is like a walking, talking computer memory bank.

Now he is asking me to help him collect information he doesn’t have access to. I will have to give this a lot of thought. Besides, I don't know if I have the time to read these books for him. I am only slightly interested in this Civil War stuff. Maybe he could give me some of that speed reading ability he has.

My ET Friend Approves

2009-02-03T23:30:00.000-08:00

Tonight we will take a trip to visit an old ET friend of mine, Galen. I first met him about ten years ago when I was remote traveling to visit some ETs. They were reverse engineering one of their spaceships. I never did figure out where the ship was located.

Galen is not one of the regular alien astronaut crew on a spaceship. The astronauts look something like the so-called gray aliens that get a lot of publicity. Galen looks more like a human, only a little shorter and thinner. He doesn’t have the big head or large eyes of the astronaut types either.

Galen told me he was not part of the regular spaceship crew. His job is to collect information about us. I haven’t been able to put a name on it. I call him an investigator. We don’t communicate using language. I do the best I can to interpret the thoughts I get from the ETs into language that I can write down. If I have no experience associated with the thoughts I am getting, I don't always interpret correctly.

With that brief introduction, let’s remote travel to visit Galen. I want to tell him what I am up to. I would like to know how he feels about my writing about it. Don’t expect too much. I can’t hold my concentration for long periods. My mind starts to wander.

10:02 p.m. I make myself comfortable at my desk and rest my head in my hands. My elbows are resting on the desk. The room is quiet except for little chirps from my blue front Amazon, Billy Bob.

I concentrate on traveling to visit Galen, wherever he is. I find him sitting in an easy chair. Shelves of books cover the rooms’ walls. It is his apartment. He is feverishly leafing through a book. That’s how he reads.

Duane: Hi Galen.

Galen: Hi Duane.

D. I came to tell you about my latest project.

G. Yes. I know. You’re working at collecting information to build interest in the book you’re writing.

D. I still get surprised by your mind reading. I forget that you usually know more about what I am going to say than I do.

G. Yes. You shouldn’t be concerned about my feelings. I gave you my approval of y our book. This is even more exciting. Readers can read about our meetings almost as soon as they take.

D. Thanks. What is that book you’re reading?

G. It’s about your Civil War. It is interesting stuff.

D. My Great Grandfather was in the U.S. Civil War.

G. Yes, I know. That’s where I got the idea to read about it. However, I don’t believe I am getting the full story. I have a feeling I am getting filtered information form the choice of books they make available to me.

D. Some new books have just come out that have a lot of politically incorrect information about that war.

G. I don’t think my handlers will make those available to me.

D. You may find it interesting to explore Abraham Lincoln’s history.

G. Come visit me after you read that book about Lincoln you have on order. You had better go now before you forget the details of this conversation.

D. Can’t you help me to remember better? You told me before that you could help me learn things faster.

G. All right. Good bye. Go. Write.

D. Good night.

How it got started

At first glance this may seem like another one of those kooky sites by a guy who is totally delusional. I assure you I am not delusional, but then, if I was I wouldn't think I was, would I?

What happened was that one day, after I retired, I found that the excitement I had as an aerospace engineer had dwindled. OK. I was getting bored.

I decided to pick up something I had discarded years before. Something I called remote traveling. Years ago my grandfather had taught me how to travel to places using only my mind. The places could be far away, across the street, or wherever. If you are at all familiar with remote viewing, it's a little like that, only I think more interesting.

While I was working I played with remote traveling a little, but put it aside as something that really didn't interest me. I took my family on real travels where we could share the scenery.

Then one day it dawned on me, I could use this traveling thing to satisfy my curiosity about something that had always bugged me: did UFOs really exist? It's one of those things that sat in the back of my mind and I never really knew if I should believe in them or not.. Some UFOlogists attempt to get the government to fess up to hiding the truth of UFO existence, but we never get our curiosity satisfied with a definite answer.

So I decided to use my traveling ability to seek out a UFO. I found one and decided to sstop calling them UFOs. Now I like to refer to them as alien spaceships.

I also found soem aliens. Yes, we have some. They are alive and working on reverse engineering some spaceships.

I've been meetng with these extraterrestrials, ETs, regularly. The most interesting thing about them is that they are so much like us. They have specialties like we do. They aren't all totally knowledgeable about everything. They have limitations on their expertise and understanding of things.

They do have some extraordinary abilities, but nothing I would put in the category of miraculous. After all, they are subject to the same laws of physics that we are. They just know a few more of those laws than we do.

I have been making these trips to visit with ETs for about eleven years now. I decided that I would share them with anyone who has that same desire to know about things beyond our daily lives like me. Tomorrow I will take you on a trip and share my conversations with an alien ET. If you have any questions you would like me to ask them, feel free. Ask. I'll do my best to get an answer.
