Most esteemed Sirs:
We come from Ummo and have been on the solidified star Earth (OYAAGAA) since 28-3-1950, the date on which we had the honour of making contact, in a region of the south of the country France.
We know that this note does not disqualify our group in the eyes of certain persons. Moreover, it is evident that at this moment it seems a joke or a delusional reaction on the part of those who compose this writing.
Please forget our introduction and let us come to our message. We observe with sadness that once again you have become a new target for the attacks of your brothers.
You, in Spain, have broken the rules laid down for dissemination and now find yourselves with problems arising from our correspondence.
It is perfectly normal that the accusations of fraud should be turned against us, but it is regrettable that you should be gratuitously identified with the authors of these reports.
You must try to place yourselves in the perspective of the signatory of that document in order to understand the main lines of his argument. According to the scheme he draws, you would be paranoid members led by a mad genius and a series of devoted fanatics who try to spread their doctrine dressed in pseudoscientific garb. Unfortunately the analysis is incorrect and partly mistaken; seen as a whole from a bird's-eye view, it has an appearance of reality, but analysed carefully it brings to light serious errors that disqualify its author.
The accusation made against you has, in principle, an unassailable and impeccable basis. It would be enough to keep to the rules laid down by epistemologists such as Popper, Bunge or Bertrand Russell to refute outright any assertion founded on the aseptic excerpts of the doctrine to which they have had access through Mr Ribera Jordá's book.
The truth is simpler and more naive. From March 1965 your brother, the commentator, began to receive our messages from Albacete, which attracted the attention of various regular attendees of Mr Sesma Manzano's gatherings. Your brothers Garrido, Villagrasa and Martínez date from that period. On 6 February 1966 one of our craft descended to the Aluche area before various witnesses; one of them, brother Jordán Peña, mistook it for some kind of helicopter coming from the nearby Cuatro Vientos airfield.
From that later period we came to count brothers Atín, Borrás, Cezón, Mejorada, Muela, de Vicente, Villalba, Gran and so many others.
That brother of yours, Jordán, arrived at the León café brought by a journalist enthusiastic about the topic of UFO phenomenology. Already at that time one could observe in him a spirit marked by that scepticism, which put to the test your brother Sesma, convinced that he was before the author of those reports.
Shortly afterwards Brothers Ribera, Farriols, Domínguez, Ibáñez, Gibernau, Barrenechea, Aguirre and Gil joined the group of those interested, completing the rest of the citizens interested in those anonymous letters.
It was foreseeable that these men (OEMMII) would be intrigued by the origin of those missives, written in an unusual language, and that the range of opinions would cover a broad spectrum, from Mr Sesma's almost superstitious respect to the more balanced scepticism of your brother Atín.
Later, more qualified brothers joined in the study of those reports: lawyers, doctors, engineers, which obliged us to raise the level of our exposition.
The present situation can be summed up as follows: first we selected a set of specialists of the Programme who have so far received much deeper information, which they have jealously guarded.
It is false that we have tried to found a sectarian group. The accusation is so naive that it does not hold up, given that we have desperately tried to strangle every form of propagation.
That coercion was incompatible, on our part, with the spirit of genuine freedom [Translator's note: the French has «fantaisie»] that we must grant our correspondents. It is true that a mere declaration of principles would not suffice to rule out our responsibility. The only way to prevent the publication of our information without being accused of violating your freedom has meant the drastic suspension of dispatches to those brothers of yours who consider themselves free to disseminate our reports. It was not our fault that brothers Ribera Jordá and Aguirre Ceberio disseminated the documentation you know.
Mr Rafael Farriols and a small group of OEMMII have in their possession classified (very confidential) documents whose quality is clearly superior to what has been published. It was logical to expect the secret to be jealously kept in order to raise the level of the information.
Do not ask us to hide from you any longer that Messrs Farriols, Mrs Nordlin, Lara Guitard, Domínguez Montes, Barrenechea Aberasturi and Garrido Buendía hold secret reports whose possession, with extreme zeal, has justified our trust.
You may be sure that possessing them will do you no harm and that their content will not affect the security of the State.
You see that possessing them will not spare you a new accusation of esoteric practices, or of super-secrecy, instead of the opposite imputation of spreading a sectarian doctrine.
In reality, you are accused of forming a heterogeneous group of persons interested in and intrigued by the content of information of whose origin you know nothing. The intriguing mode of reception has led you to play along with amusement, suspecting that it is in reality a terrestrial nucleus which, for unclear purposes, calls itself Ummite. A very balanced attitude has been maintained by your brother «Juan José Ales» in the magazine OMNI [Translator's note by ummo-sciences: handwritten word very difficult to read]; he holds there a very sensible opinion, worked out with the elements of judgement he possesses.
Only the paranoid delusion of some apprentice investigators has made them see the shadows they were preparing to unmask.
Let us quickly study the matter from their point of view, to see which human could be classified as affected by a psychotic disorder of clearly paranoid content.
We accept with all rigour our «labelling» as individuals diagnosed as affected by a clearly paranoid nosology. According to the multiple inventories of the DSM (DIAGNOSTIC AND STATISTICAL MANUAL), we would be ill if we suffered from a form of falsification of the facts (and of reality), distorting it in such a way that, in a systematised delusion, we were convinced that we had come and landed on your planet. Nothing to object to in this statement, and it would be incorrect to refute it in good Aristotelian logic.
If you prefer, let us embellish the hypothesis with the fact that such OEMMII (mediocre specialists who ought to remain confined in the corresponding psychiatric establishment) were able to travel to the United States, where a good friend holding an eminent post at NASA would have obtained for them some fragments of polyvinyl chloride (a material then classified as restricted because of its military applications); they would have taken the opportunity to visit an OEMMII placed at a higher level of the Pentagon, who would have revealed to them the exact date on which a nuclear alert would be set in motion (data that were used by the alienated children). The set-up extends to a brief visit to Digne (France) and the subtle collaboration of Mrs Margarita Ruiz and that of two extras dressed so that the whole of Albacete would see them.
But it is better placed from this perspective: a provincial publication devoted to Ufology, embarked on unmasking the Ummite question. A magazine linked to the sector specialising in Astrology, Esotericism, Magic, Tarot, Ufology, Umbanda [Translator's note by ummo-sciences: according to Wikipedia, Umbanda is an Afro-Brazilian religion that blends African traditions with Roman Catholicism, Spiritism and Native American beliefs], so many popular superstitions, or magazines as «scientific» as «Época», Interviú, El Caso...
That is the vehicle chosen by those brothers to pour into it the question of a sectarian group.
Anyone would have expected those OEMMII to be specialists in Space Physics or Molecular Biology, so as to offer to work under their signature in a prestigious monographic and scientific publication, backed by the signature of one of their prestigious compatriots, Brother Mr Oró or any of their brothers, for example Mr Vallejo Nágera. Their opinion would be taken into account respectfully, without it being a virulent article against you.
What opinion can persons (OEMMII) such as Castilla del Pino, José Luis Aranguren or Doctor Barbacid, among others, have of superstitious Ufology, of this series of paranoiacs devoted to denouncing some non-subversive articles (however disparate they may seem) addressed to other citizens (other paranoiacs)?
The article-report by that professional of psychiatric medicine does not deserve serious comment, inserted as it is in a pamphlet of the characteristics indicated and therefore so unsuitable. Assertions of paranoia without passing an expert clinical examination, and imputations of a murky past by the Francoist press (without being allowed to defend oneself against the calumnies spread), belong to an era that we consider happily over.
How does the author know that this complex material has no other purposes that hide the natural truth of the matter, or that it is a gigantic joke, or that it turns out to be a clever deception for publicity purposes?... The writer's imagination proves truly slow.
It is clear (to those who read it) that there is an identification of the authors (us) with the members of the group, something evidently inevitable and which, although it favours us, is irritating for some of you.
The ringleader seems to be Jordán Peña: a restless investigator who likes to poke eagerly into everything, until he has become the Brother most singled out by the most critical. Paradoxically, one of the most sceptical and an impenitent iconoclast. They transmute him into a paranoid genius capable of composing a fabulous set-up. He is not with you now, the victim of a thrombosis of the left carotid that leaves him out of the «leadership of the plot». Someone will be the next victim of this witch hunt. Fernando Sesma already was, who is «on the Way» in the Buawaa Biaeii (do not forget that we are declared paranoiacs). And the venerated Brother Antonio Ribera, who also has serious doubts about the existence of Ummo but prudently does not speak of it. Later will come your Brothers Farriols, Barrenechea, Domínguez, Nordlin, Aguirre, Garrido, Villagrasa, Martínez, Borrás, Lara, Pilón, Marhuenda, Vivanco, Pont Amorós, Albaladejo, López de Lerma, López Guerrero… and so many others.
With all respect, allow us to lay our hand on your breast. So it is.
