The
Extraterrestrial Photographed
[From notes in Prof.
Hernandez' Diary for March of 1979]
After our lengthy and
substantial conversations, LYA left in me a change, a longing to
begin to search into the vastness of the Universe which surrounds
us. I began to carry my photo camera with me in my automobile. I
wanted to have objective proof of her existence, a photograph of her
or her ship.
I asked her that day in
March of 1979, if she would permit me to photograph her. She looked
at me, not into my eyes, but directly at my forehead. 'Immediately
in my eyes I felt a vacancy.
"Why?" She asked
me delicately... sweetly.
"LYA, If perhaps some
time I would want to give publicity to that which we have talked -
if for some reason I would want to transmit the message you have
brought me, they are going to ask for proofs..."
"who will ask you
that?"
"Well, perhaps the
editor, perhaps the people who will read about it... finally."
"Professor, when I
came down to your world I needed to do it suitably protected; not
only for me, but also for you.1
1.There are a number of
such instances of concern for possible infectious germs from space
being introduced into our Earth environment. The Ummites (UFO
CONTACT FROM PLANET UMMO) described their methods of decontaminating
their ships which enter our ambient atmosphere, and their beings who
get out and walk our planet, in considerable detail. Many Earth
abductees who have been taken aboard ET ships have described a
process of decontamination of them and their clothes and equipment
as they board the ET vessel.
' I
am surrounded by an antimagnetic and antigravitational halo.2
2.The Pleiadians visiting
Switzerland described a protective field that surrounds their ships
in our atmosphere and the cosmonauts themselves when they get out of
their ships in our environment. (See UFO CONTACT FROM THE PLEIADES
by Stevens.)
'Before, decades of years
ago, this halo could be seen by simple sight. Because of this, many
of the apparitions of my congenerates were taken as divine. I have
mentioned this to you before, but now we have overcome this.3
3.The so-called divine
beings in all the religions of our world are usually characterized
as being surrounded by light, or of having a radiant appearance
about them. Sometimes they are painted with a halo of light around
the crown of their head.
To get myself around in
your terrestrial space, I must be suitably equipped. my
anti-magnetic field many times nullifies that which moves in your
world with common energy. The battery in your watch,4 for
example exploded and was destroyed; Your car at times will not
start, will not crank as you say. Imagine what could happen upon
taking a photograph. The bulb will not flash. It is useless."
4.In the investigation of
UFO cases we frequently encounter electromagnetic effects on
electrical watches of witnesses (UFO CONTACT FROM UNDERSEA),
failures of automobile, boat and other vehicle engines, lights and
electrical systems (UFO CONTACT FROM PLANET IARGA by Denaerde and
Stevens), failure of house lights and even blackout of whole
electrical systems (UFO CONTACT FROM RETICULUM by Stevens). We
also frequently detect the presence of strong magnetic fields,
including elevated residual magnetism for some time afterward (UFO
ABDUCTION AT MIRASSOLby Dr. Walter K Buhler).
"I had thought of this
many times. Nevertheless I continued carrying my camera. I never
knew when she would return. I had full conviction that it was going
to be soon. And finally it occurred. Some days later I came to see
her very near Tlatelolco. I saw her in the full light of day, in the
fullness of her extraordinary beauty, which I thought was certainly
worth the effort of trying to take her photograph. She, upon sensing
my intention, took one step back from me, of about a meter, because
her body is highly aesthetic and elastic. She advances or walks with
great steps with surprising ease. I followed actuating the camera
shutter several times. She stopped not very far away, but I could
tell that she advanced a meter or more with each step.
She looked at me and
smiled, slightly moving her head in the negative.
"It will not come out,
Professor... and it is not that I have denied you the opportunity to
do this. I must descend to your world protected. Without it, if I
came close to you with the germs that are brought from space, your
people would die. You have no antibodies to repel the germs of
space. I have already spoken to you of this."
"Look into the camera,
and I will carefully guard the picture in my portfolios."
I fervently desired that
someone or something would appear in the photograph. I myself
developed the roll of film in my house. This would be no fake. There
appeared a being in only the first photograph. I analyzed it
carefully. It was, though anthropomorphic, a phantom, luminous, and
in proportion greater than LYA herself. I could not be deluding
myself -- it was her. Nobody is going to believe this, but myself,
yes. I had photographed a luminous halo that surrounded and
protected her. My hands trembled. I developed it carefully and
studied it before drying and mounting it. I marked the date on it
and put it away in safekeeping. There were no images on the rest of
the roll of film. It was the only image that appeared and the rest
of the film showed no trace.5
5.The rest of the film
appeared unexposed because the electrical shutter release failed to
operate on the near dead battery in the camera, and did not open the
shutter when the button was depressed.
LYA knew that... that our
cameras are really primitive...one might say archaic before their
great advances, and only if they desire it, can they be
photographed. I really needed to have a proof. I remained suspended
between fear and intrigue. I wanted to demonstrate to myself that
she existed. I had jealously guarded for such a long time the secret
of our meetings and I was…
it was driving me crazy. I
wanted to fill myself with equanimity. I knew that a change was
taking place in me, but I myself did not know what confronted me. I
tried to explain this to myself through science, but I must admit to
being afraid at times. The nights I waited stood out clearly,
imprisoned in my own subconscious. I was tied to something I did not
understand, which was and is something, something that could be true
or not entirely true. The photograph that I had taken was a form of
proof -- though not absolute -- of that which was real.. though it
was only to convince me myself.

on either side of the head of the image in this color slide appear
to have been made by earlier analysts picking at the emulsion with a
sharp instrument. They do not appear to have been a part of the
original image. They were obviously made after the original color
slide was developed.]
