Epilogue

The Professor, true to his decision, decided to put his notes in order and make them available for publica-tion. The good Professor has long since passed from the scene... at the hands of his own compatriots, the very ones he sought to save. Many of the predictions given him by the mysterious extraterrestrial woman, LYA, have come to pass or are coming true today. We are far worse off now than we were ten years ago when he made his notes, which in the end actually became his downfall and were the proximate cause of the unfortunate end to a brilliant career.
Had it not been for his accidental meeting with Zitha Rodriguez, and his sudden impulse to tell somebody, any-body who would not be suspicious and could understand what he was talking about, you would not be reading these lines.
We wish the good Professor were here now to see his profound revelations finally made public. It may be too late to save everything, but perhaps there is still time to do something for ourselves and our world in his memory. If so, then his sacrifice will not have been in vain.
A non-profit Foundation has been set up under the CENTRO INTERNACIONAL DE ESTUDIOS ESPACIALES A.C., Aptdo. Postal No. 92-047, C.P. 08500, Mexico D.F., MEXICO in memory of Prof. R. N. Hernandez. The purpose of this foundation is to advance the study of UFO phenomena worldwide, and to continually inform the public on such events as they are reported, to foster the publication of valid books on extraterrestrial contacts and related phenomena, and to maintain a continuous exhibit of the Hernandez material, his diary, contact notes and other writings on this extremely interesting case and others like it, and to advance public interest in such matters.
Let us take our hats off to one very brave and courag-eous man and to observe a moment of silence in his honor.

APPENDIX I

Andromeda Ships

While we have no photographs of the extraterrestrial spacecraft from Andromeda, we do have descriptions and sketches, some of which we are reproducing here in this report.
Professor Hernandez describes LYA's ship as about three meters diameter at first, and revised that to five meters diameter after being up close to and inside of it. It is circular in shape and convex on top, like a lens. It has a wide transparent, or at least transparent from one direction, dome on top. There is a radiant band of some different kind of material in the flange of the disc immediately surrounding the cupola on top. The rest of the metal-looking flange has a finish that looks very much like brushed stainless steel with a kind of shim-mering effect. The whole thing does reflect light like metal.
The craft is completely surrounded by a violet-shaded halo, corona, or glow, and it all radiates heat. The colored halo distorts all images seen through it. The halo flows around the ship and blends then with a rotat-ing turbulence noticed underneath the craft and a green-ish light radiated from the center underneath the ship and downward. Hernandez was told that the green light was a part of the antigravitic field generated by the craft, and was a result of energy conversion in the field.
A formula having no meaning to the analysts was jotted on the sketch.
We reproduce here both the professor's sketch and our erected line drawing made from the same descriptions, notes and sketches.
Lacking a photograph of any of the Andromedan ships for presentation here, we shall go to our files and look for something similar.



APPENDIX I

The Star

Aboard her spacecraft, LYA brought up an image of a starfield on a viewing screen to show Professor Hernandez where she was from. He tried to remind the various brighter points of light and the relative position of what LYA said was her home sun system with respect to the rest of the stars seen in that starfield. She said her home sun was a part of what we call Beta Andromeda.
Beta Andromeda is apparently the central body of a group of stars within the Andromeda Constellation which are gravitationally associated with each other and are moving in space together. LYA has said that that group is moving toward our local system at this time and is closing on us so that in sufficient time we may even be neighbors for a while. This, she says, is one of the reasons for their interest in us. Other space traveling races in that same group of stars have indicated similar interests.
The position of LYA's home planet INXTRIA, as seen and pointed out on the viewing screen is not the position of the Andromeda Galaxy, M-31, also seen on our star charts as a dim cloud of stars in the opposite side of the An-dromeda Constellation. The Andromeda Galaxy was not even shown in the star field seen in the viewing screen on board LYA's ship.
It has been noted before, in other UFO contact cases as well, that by the time a given ET civilization makes contact with us, they have learned our languages, stud-ied our sciences and technologies, and have become familiar, with our written form and documented knowledge.

They usually are, or become, quite familiar with our astronomical sciences and how far we have progressed in mapping and studying our local universe. Thus they become quite familiar with our published star charts and our groupings of stars for identification. (See also a similar case evidencing thorough familiarity with our astronomical knowledge in UFO-CONTACT FROM FROM RETICULUM.) If we connect certain stars with lines to help us ident-ify them, they, the ETs, sometimes use the same kind of
lines for the same reason, to help us identify the stars indicated. A similar star chart was shown one of the contactees in UFO ABDUCTION AT BOTUCATU.
Thus we see Cassiopeia in the same viewing screen star field to help confirm the stars in Andromeda, and we see INX'IRIA opposite Beta Andromeda from Cassiopeia, in a section of dim stars. We do not think LYA's home sun is even visible to us from here, nor would ours be visible from there.
We shall first present, here, the simple star chart drawn by the professor from what he observed from aboard LYA1s spacecraft.

Then we will present the same area of sky from a con-ventional astronomical star chart for comparison, carry-ing a translation of the professor's comments forward to the star chart clipping.
Next we will offer a photograph of that part of the heavens with the selected field of stars shown, probably much as they were seen in the viewing screen aboard the ship, except the constellation lines had been added.
Following that we will offer a comparative table of stars seen in the Andromeda Constellation according to Burnham's three volume astronomical reference guide. This will show us distance, magnitude of brightness, mass, class of star, etc., for comparison. Our Sun is a "G" class star.
This may not allow us to see LYA's home sun, but it will show us exactly where it is in our sky.


ANDROMEDA


The extraterrestrials visiting Prof. Hernaez in Mexico, have told him that they are from a "Galaxy" we call ANDROMEDA.
In UFO contact reporting, we frequently find a confusion between the two words "Galaxy" and "Constellation" when we translate the contact notes from one language to another at non-scientific lay level. As these kinds of extraterrestrial communications, are usually intended for a specific person or group, we have noticed that the ETs usually use the vernacular familiar to the contactee they are communicating with.
Scientifically speaking, there is a great difference between the two, yet we have both a constellation Andromeda and an Andromeda Galaxy; and the Asdrareda Galaxy is a dim star cloud in the constellation Andromeda on our star charts. The constellation is labeled ANDROMEDA and the galaxy is identified by a number, thus a quick reference to our star charts can lead to confusion, especially to a lay person.
We have taken the star chart brought up on the viewing screen aboard LYA's ship to show the Professor where she was from, and we imeediately see that the reference chart is of the constellation Andromeda, because we can identify the other stars shown Hernandez with the stars in the constellation Andromeda, in our own "Milky way" Galaxy. The Andromeda Galaxy is not one of the prominent stars in the display, and it is clear that the star group is not in the Andromeda Galaxy, because they fit stars in our galaxy, and they are clearly associated with the constellation Cassiopeia as a guide to help find them, which is also in our own galaxy.
Thus the ET planet must be in our own galaxy as well, and this would make more sense since it would only be 400 light years dis-tant versus 800,000 light years for the Andromeda Galaxy.

Also, LYA' s group has mentioned working with PLIONES on some projects, and the Pleiades are in the same direction and the same part of the heavens as the constellation Andromeda, with only the constella-tion Triangulum between them, thus the two constellations are virtual neighbors in our own galaxy.
We may therefore safely conclude that, since the ET woman contacting the Professor in mexico, is using our names from our starcharts, she is making reference to the constellation Andromeda in our own galaxy rather than the Andromeda Galaxy itself which shows up on most of our star maps as M3l or NGC 224. M3l is actually on the opposite side of the dotted line in the Professor's star map from the position he has indicated for INXTRIA.


ANALYSIS

A detailed analysis of the Andromedan stars in our star cataloges is quite revealing. The first things we note is that the bright stars in Cassiopeia are all at great variance in distance from us. They could not belong to the same local systems, because of their wide separation in space, Gamma Cassiopeia being 7 times as distant at 652.7 light years than Beta at only 46.64 ly, but they are the brightest star pattern most easily identified by a layman in that part of the sky. Thus we may assume that they are only guide stars. One, however, 18 Cas-siopeia Alpha, is the only one identified by a name (Schedir), and this is significant because that one star in Cassiopeia at 163.2 ly distance may actually be a part of the family of stars in Andromeda that, together with other significant stars, make up a local group. (All figures are taken from the Atlas of The Heavens, Atlas Coeli 1950.0 of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sci-ences, vols. I and II, by Antonin Becvar)

LYA's statement that her home sun was a part of Beta Andromeda may have been meant as a visual guide for the professor, because she drew a visible line from that body to the location of her home planet INXTRIA.

Examining the tables of stars, we find Alamak, 57 An-dromeda, another star specifically named on LYA's chart, is exactly the same distance from us at 163.2 ly as Schedir, and that 27 and 46 Andromeda are likewise at the same distance and may be traveling together. 24, 41, 51 and 58 Andromeda, and 82 Pisces are close, within 20 ly, and may also be a part of the same local star group.
When we look at the stars in the vicinity of the po-sition indicated by LYA for INXTRIA, we do find one star and only one star that is an almost exact fit, and that one is identified as 83 Pisces, also known as "tau" Pisces, which is exactly in our local star group of interest at 163.2 ly distance.
Thus it appears that '1tau" Pisces is either the local sun or the central body of the parent sun system for the atmospheric planet INXTRIA.

Of the many hundreds of stars visible in Constellation Andromeda up to 7th magnitude, just over 65 have been catalogued in this standard reference work, and of those only 10 are in the local vicinity of our target star and seem to be traveling in the same direction with it. Is this then the system moving toward us within which LYA's home planet is located? Other stars which seem to be associated with this group are seen in adjacent constel-lation star space which is separated only by an arbitrary invisible line delineated by our astronomers for conven-ience. These few additional stars will also be listed in our chart. Only a very small number of these stars are actually identified on the accompanying star chart.
Taking the professor's star chart first, copied from the star field LYA brought up on an image screen in her ship, we see a line from beta Andromeda to INXTRIA. If we project that line to Cassiopeia it arrives at a point near the middle star in the "W", near lanbda (27) Cas-siopeia. Now, taking the chart from the Atlas Coeli, which is a slightly different projection, if we begin at that same point in Cassiopeia and project a line through beta Andromeda, we find that it extends to tau Pisces, an exact fit into the rest of the description we now have for LYA's home planet INXTRIA.

Could this be mere coincidence? Is it a happenstance selection that just worked out by accident? Did the pro-fessor contrive this? If so, why did he not select ALAMAK in Andromeda which is also an ideal fit in the story, and which actually is in Andromeda constellation on our star charts, instead of tau Pisces which is in another constellation that only projects up into Andromeda? The professor actually did not seem to be very well informed on Astronomy.
We are inclined to believe that the professor was not aware of all that we have offered here, and that he contrived nothing of this description, thus it stands with it's alleged source relatively undisputed.



APPENDIX III

How I Came to Write This Report

This unique amazing report has come into being by a rather unusual series of circumstances. Zitha Rodriguez did not set out to write a book about UFOs at all, al-though she was interested in the subject. She did not know Prof. R.N. Hernandez, either professionally or per-sonally before this, and her meeting with him was quite accidental --- or was it?
She was working on another project not related to UFOs at all when she encountered Prof Hernandez for the first time. Even then she had no idea that he would become the subject of her investigation on one of the most profound UFO contactee cases in Mexico.

Zitha Rodriguez had never heard of Wendelle Stevens, and had no reason to take interest in him, if she had - until Richard Heiden, with whom she had been correspond-ing in Spanish, mentioned that Stevens had been involved in investigating a UFO case in Switzerland, that had some similarities to the one she had mentioned to him as occurring in Mexico.
Heiden contacted Stevens to advise him of Zitha and her case, and furnished Stevens an address in Mexico City.
Stevens wrote Zith an introductory letter, and receiv-ed a well thought out reply from Zitha.

Zitha's reply laid some groundwork for what was to follow in weeks to come, and so as to give the reader the same feelings of discovery of a new and very profound UFO contactee case, we have decided to include the bulk of that initial report to Stevens here for your examination.
The letter was straight forward, frank and honest, as the lady describes her own involvement in this Hernandez case and how that came about. All subsequent communica-tions have been just as straight forward and direct.
We gladly share this communication with you.

Dear Wendelle:

I must in the first place thank you for all the attention you have given to Prof. Hernandez and his history. To me it seems that it could well merit a bock and dissemination due to the message contained. I suggest that it mentions that it treats of the experiences of univer-sity Prof. R.N. Herrrrdez, who fran the beginning refused to publicise, because he feared for his children who work for the government of Mexico (they still do), such that he did not desire to bring this before the public.
I have read once and another time the translation so exact and so well done on your part that the least I can do is congratulate you for the work you have done. The professor one time had suggested to me the title CONTACT FROM ANDROMEDA, but in reality, we later thought about it and decided not to say anything about the title. On this, if you publish a book or part of one, I can tell you that there has only now been published, if the form of a synopsis, one article of three pages titled "Yo Viaje de un OVNI". There were four or five pages but they only published three due to a question of space. I worked for the mag-azine OCULTO in 1979, where it was published.
In our numerous conversations, the professor and I, we decided that the title was precisely that: "Yo Viaje en un OVNI", but to him it seemed that we should give emphasis to the greatest importance, which was the message of LYA. Concerning the material that you propose to publish, I am in agreement.
In 1978 and1979 I directed the magazine OVNI. I began to have in my hands a great volume of testimony of (UFO) sightings. Still today, I have treatments also with other contactees who have had long discus-sions with beings from the planet MU of the MUT System, but this is the other history I have told you of. Well, at the same time I was directing the magazine I was writing a book on earthquakes. A friend told me of a person in the Instituto Nacional de Energia Nuclear, one Prof. Carlos Graef, who was an expert in seismology, and that I should go and see him. 

I decided to interview him as suggested but never was able to see him. One day, in final desperation, I gave my card to the secretary, on which I appeared as Director of the magazine OVNI, and looked around for somebody to help me. When I came back I passed by Prof. Hernandez. Immediately the professor showed interest in what I was doing and how was my work. He had an important charge at the Institute and was a high executive of the University. He traveled con-stantly to all the symposiums on nuclear energy held around the world.

I entered his office the first time without knowing exactly what it was that was going to happen. He looked at me firmly like he wanted to know the deepest of my thoughts. He invited me to sit down and be-gan to question me... as if I were being interviewed by him. He asked me if I was also dedicated to the investigation, or only to writing about UFOs. I said, both. He asked me if I knew any person who had seen OVNIs (UFOs), and I said yes. He wanted to know if I knew anybody who had affirmed having traveled in an OVNI, and I said yes.

There was a prolonged silence.. .and then he said, "Do you believe in OVNIs?" "I have never seen even one, I answered, "but yes, I believe the ones who affirm having seen one, and even those who say they know extraterrestrial beings.'
"But you never have seen one, isn't that correct?" He asked. I an-swered, yes. He took out a cigarette and lit it. He stood up, walked around the desk, and then striking his fist on the desk, he made a surprising confession:

"I have traveled in a ship, and have been friendly with a women, who says she cames from the star system that we call Andromeda. I at first did not believe it," said the professor, "not all of it."
After a brief chat, because he had many occupations, he gave me an appointment for a week later, and we talked sane more. Moreover he told me he had been keeping a diary, and he gave me part of it to read. I asked about the possibility of my writing this up, and he told me that would be impossible. Who would think that anybody was going to believe such a thing.

Nevertheless, against his wishes, I took some notes and began to write a report, a little on what he told me, sane more on what he had written, and a little from the contagion of his enthusiasm that flooded out on narrating his experiences with LYA.

"If you don't tell anyone," he told me once, "my psyche overflows and loses the balance between reality and fiction. I myself do not know what is happening to me."
When the professor saw the first part that I had written, like the part I sent to you, he wept, simply cried, not of cowardice, not in fear, but of emotion, of joy, of happiness.. .because finally someone had caught on to his idea and his experience. He had told nobody of
this, but sometimes he had insinuated to his friends the possibility of the existence of this woman in the life of another ....... a fictitious friend. But many would not believe it. For this he cried this day.

Finally he gave me many pages from which I extracted the most important things. The majority of these were picked up by his wife. I regretted having to give them up, but I had already copied many things which was also why I gave them to her then. Lamentably, the wife of the professor, read the copies which I had delivered to her. She suc-ceeded in having the professor sent to a psychiatric sanatorium by order of Jose Lopez Portillo. I believe that she was jealous, that she did not believe that there was any extraterrestrial woman, but a terrestrial one, and nothing would satisfy her but to subject him to this treatment.

One day he called me from Chihuahua, though he did not know exactly where he was, and told me that it was necessary and even imperative that the account be published. Hugo Stiglitz took the manuscript as he wanted to film it in 1987, but then his house burned down. I don't think it had any connection with the manuscript, because I had submitted it to the publishing houses in Mexico who did not have the money to publish it, and nothing happened to either of them.

I have looked incessantly for the professor, putting much time in announcements that said: LYA LLEGA DE INXTRIA. URGE COMMUNI-CATION WITH ZITHA. It was very important and only he would understand, but I never received any reply. I last saw the professor in 1981.

I have come to think that he might have been carried to the planet of LYA, or else he continues living in a psychiatric institution be-cause they considered that he had gone crazy and was telling lies. To me it always seemed that he was a well balanced man. His house in Tecamachalco, Mexico, was sold in 1982 and the new owner does not know of the professor. I have a photo, separately, which is the only one that has a possible image (of LYA). He had taken several but LYA appeared in none of them. In the first of them, however, one can see a human form of some kind of energy that seems to be there, as if it were a luminous fantasm. I am sending it to you, but please take care of it since I have no other, and it is possibly the only proof that I have, though the "experts" reject it saying that such is no convincing proof.

I am also sending you the part where the professor met Thomas Has-kins in Chicago, though I do not have his address. Tom was having con-tacts with a man from Andromeda. The professor was very worried about the threat that LYA had told him of concerning humanity, and was prfoundly inpacted by the existence of life on other planets, in other star systems. He was fascinated by his encounters with this ET woman, such that when he met Thom, he was disillusioned profoundly, because he said that Tom had taken his contacts so lightly as merely an act of circumstance. And to the professor, the arrival of LYA had been too transcendental, too important.

He had said to that he did not want his name on the report, but I suggest that at least his initials and his second surname could be used, if you agree.

I worried much about the professor at first. I placed announcements in several periodicals, including UFO Report (now defunct) in 1979, asking if anyone knew the words INXTRIA or LYA. I placed an announcement in the Fortean Times of England in 1980, and received a letter in which I was told that in the book UFO PROPHECY, was the name INXTRIA as a planet of a planetary system. I obtained the book in 1983, and there I actually saw that it spoke of beings who live on the planet mentioned. Can you imagine, Wendelle, how I felt? Nevertheless the bock did not speak of of Andromeda nor of LYA.
Richard sent several books last year, and I sent him what I knew of a very interesting contactee named Enrigue Mercado, who remained aboard an extraterrestrial spaceship for 28 hours.

'Today various (ET) races are beginning to arrive as LYA predicted. In this respect I have enclosed an article on something that is occur-ing in Meoqui, on the border with the United States, in which is men-tioned same little men only 10 centimeters tall, with an amphibious appoarance, who have three fingers on each hand similar to those of frogs, an interior nose, teeth like a fish and a crease in place of a mouth. This is the first indication.
Well Wenelle, I hope that this year will bring to the fullness of reality your most treasured desires, much success and good health.

Sincerely,
/s/ Zitha Rodriguez

APPENDIX IV

 

Article Published

You have read in Appendix III that Zitha Rodriguez was the author of the first article published on the R.N. Hernandez UFO- contact case, a three page synopsis titled "Yo Viaje en Un OVNI", which she regretted doing because she found it ippossible to do justice to this case in one article. That account, with title changed to "Zmigos Extraterrestres" was published in OCULTO, January 1980, a magazine on unusual phenomena published in Mexico.

In the accompanying letter, Zitha said she wrote the article on 4 November 1979 when she was working for that magazine. What should have been a 4 to 5 page account was edited down to the 3 pages published for lack of space, and much narrative was lost. But perhaps we should preface this presentation with a little more explanation.

When Prof. R.N. Hernandez (a pseudonym) first met LYA, she told him her name was Elyense, and that she was not from this Earth, but came from a world in Andromeda, a planet which she called INXTRIA. Hernandez jokingly said he would call her LYA for the princess in Galaxy Wars, a science fiction feature in Mexico... and he used this name for her ever since.

Before seeing her spaceship and meeting others of her race of human beings very much like us, from her group, Prof. Hernandez asked for some proof that she was from beyond Earth, as she claimed. She then did something that made his gold watch undergo an impossible change. The steel cog-wheels and parts inside the watch were converted into formless white metal inside the watch case while the gold parts remained entirely intact. This completely defied the ordinary laws of physics as we understand them. Gold melts at a far lower temperature than steel and is much softer and more malleable.

Another time, Prof. Hernandez took a color photograph of LYA that, upon being developed revealed nothing but a possible energy field where the image of LYA should have been.

During this time, Prof. Hernandez was the Director of INEN, The Instituto Nacional de Energia Nuclear, there in Mexico.

---

 

(summing up of his thoughts in the beginning of these contact;) from page 275:

"Today, Saturday, after having gone to see my friend Carlos, while drinking a cup, LYA, the extraterrestrial woman started a telepathic conversation with me, and gave me an order: I must meet with her on the road to Toluca, around 10:00 o'clock that night. Her friends wanted to meet me. I felt like a condemned going to trial. Ultimately I did not feel altogether well with reference to my nervous system. Possibly LYA detected my state of mind and added: "Today you will have a singular experience that no other terrestrial has lived, but you will need to get control of yourself. You have almost done it already."

I looked at my watch. It was 20:10. I still had time. I thought at that moment of refusing (I could have done it, I affirmed to myself, with the energy within me), but I did not do it.

On some pretext I took my departure from my friend a short time later, and drove my car straight to the Paco de la Reforma, where I took the road to Lomas of Chapultepec turning the wheel in the direction indicated.

Again that torment appeared in my mind. Something, an instinct, had gained control with the help of that being "more powerful than myself. I resisted going, but no external self had nevertheless decided to acceed to that strange appointment... I wanted to say no, but my lips only pronounced yes.. yes....

 

By the road to the Desierto de los leones, I had the sensation that I was approaching the place. Then I no longer had control of my auto. It was advancing by itself. A feeling of terror overcame me. Now as I remember, I can compare it to that sensation felt by those who have been captured.

Again that voice in my brain ordering me to calm my emotions. The auto had left the highway and was advancing over a bunpy field road. I noticed then that there were few houses n~ where before I was surrounded by them, and they were becoming ever "more distant.

Around 21:45 the car stopped. I looked around me. All was darkness. I turned on the interior light of the vehicle and left the headlights on to illuminate the road. All was thick darkness. I took out a cigarette and activated the car lighter. I inhaled the smoke deeply and sat there, smoking to calm myself little by little.

The minutes seemed to pass like centuries.

Finally, "more or less like ten at night, I saw that someone was approaching from behind the car.... It was her!

I opened the door, took her by the hand and got out. We walked straight toward a small hill that was like two kilometers frem that place. I went the whole way taken by the hand. Anybody would have thought we were lovers or something like that.

To one side of that hill we stopped. Suddenly, before my eyes, a space ship, bigger than the first was materializing, slowly, before my surprised eyes that refused to believe what they were seeing. Once the ship appeared complete, two men of friendly face came out and looked candidly at me. I recognized one of them. Yes, I had seen him in Sanborn's with LYA.

 

They both introduced themselves and then they invited me to go up into the ship. Once inside, I could see that this one was almost identical, with some differences, fran the first one I had seen. Also, this one had a decontamination roan, for debacteriorization (as they called it).

Once I had changed my clothes, LYA informed me that I must pay attention to all that I would see, since that night was going to be the only one (like it) for me.

We all took seats and the ship began the flight. During the departure they explained to me that we were flying over the United States toward Alaska, to the nortthest of Canada. Below, I could see clearly (despite the darkness of the night) the Valley of the Yukon. Th the south a chain of volcanic rocks whose peaks rose to more than 6,000 meters elevation, covered with snow.

The ship stopped suspended in the air at "ore or less 3,000 meters altitude exactly to the south of Kodiak and the Inland Sea, above the Pacific Ocean.

 

I was informed that many miles from there, a submarine was prepared to carry out it's atomic exercises, and that it was equipped with depth charges, but that, that night, it possibly had to be removed fran that place and suspend it's exercises because the Royal Air Force, utilizing a bomber, would detonate an artefact in that place. I saw that the radar (viewing screen aboard the spaceship) captured the position of the submarine, and though it was going away now at high velocity, it appeared in the viewing screen and I could see that it belonged to the United States.

The two friends of LYA had located the exact place in which they were going to carry out a very important nuclear exercise. The bomb they were going to detonate had atomic force superior to that which up to this time had been tested. The extraterrestrial ship performed some reconnaissance turns advancing to above the site selected.

I was surprised. For a moment I feared that the Mexican radars would detect us and then could kill us. I it that did not happen. LYA reminded me that they were using their negativiser of light and frequency.

Around midnight two bombers of the Air Force appeared in the sky. At that moment I believed that those were the last minutes of my life.

One of those fighter-bombers released it's deadly cargo. At the moment that my friends foccsed the screen on the place where they had released that lethal heavy artifact, precisely on the site, I heard a whistle in the distance and then the "motors of the aircraft could be heard becaning ever "ore distant. The ses, scarcely illumited by the weak reflection of the stars, shock and a great noise drowned out the turbulence of those cold waters, and could be heard for miles around.

Our ship advanced slowly toward the place in an act that I considered suicide. But LYA calmed me. At that moment, a great din could be heard. Upon looking at LYA in an expectant attitude, she explained:

"It is the liberation of the atoms."

At 2,000 meters of altitude, the two men, who during this whole time had not lost a single detail of what had occurred, deployed and began to activate an enormous suction device. LYA explained:

"we must aspirate all of the atomic potency before it disperses over the surface. In this manner we can eliminate the maximum of terrestrial contamination."

I don't know how long this operation lasted, but it seemed to me that it could have been carried on for almost an hour.

I believe that I understood that they also used an atomic neutral-izer.

At the end of this operation, the ship rose ever higher until it came almost to the Van Allen belt. It stopped before passing this space barrier, and activated a system of aperture. We went out beyond the belt and then the same ship, utilized a system with which they closed the entrance point. This, said LYA, was to prevent release of the atmosphere so necessary for terrestrial life.

Thousands of kilometers beyond, we released the lethal cargo already neutralized. Once they had completed this maneuver, the men and LYA looked at me. They were breathing laboriously, but not for the pressure of space, nor for lack of atmosphere, since the ship was equipped with a special atmospheric generator, but for the importance of those key moments for human survival.⁸

I felt better, possibly because I knew that I was protected by people such as these.

Upon return to Earth they explained that they had been doing the same since the nuclear experiments began on this planet.

When we descended, precisely in the place in which the extraterrestrial appointment began, my nerves gave way and I began to cry like a child. LYA said it was logical, that many feelings had been found to emerge that night.

my tears continued as I looked at my watch. It had stopped at 12:30 that night.

LYA helped me get to car. I got in it. The moon slowly appeared frem behind the dark clouds and illuminated the field... I looked up at the sky but could not see the ship.

I started the vehicle and turned, leaving that place and headed for the Navado de Toluca.

In the morning, the caretakers of the park found me at the foot of the mountain. The Sun was rising in the east when I first saw them.

I was being observed by four curious eyes peering at me through the windshield. They looked surprised. Then I opened the car window and heard them asking me if I felt all right. With a whisper I said yes, that I was all right.

Surely they thought that I had cane there drunk and that I had fallen asleep because it was impossible for me to return.

I didn't tell them anything; only stated the motor and left there straight for Mexico City.

I arrived at my house around seven in the morning of that Sunday which seemed to me the most marvelous of my life. I went to bed to rest, my wife having already awakened. It was obvious, I must say, that she was visibly irritated, but I did not have the necessary valor to explain that experience, which I have probably been the only mortal to have lived.
