of us. Those names are in our language, remember? Have you had any difficulties so far’?
‘No ... But’... I said. ‘Well do not worry. If you are able to follow the story, others will too.’
He got up and I went ahead of him by myself, toward the room to which I had now become accustomed. All the others stayed behind. Inside, we found one of the little mongoloid Aliens waiting. I sat on the table, looking away from him while the ‘Brown’ Alien strapped me on the wrists and ankles, and then put the ‘cask’ on my head. I kept my eyes closed, felt the familiar little prick that usually sent me to sleep.
And after what seemed just like a ten minutes’ sleep, I awoke to find the pretty Alien lady standing next to the table, with my hand in her cold hands, curiously examining my dark red nail varnish. I was no longer strapped to the couch.
I withdrew my hand with an unintentionally brisk movement that startled her and she stepped back. I sat up and followed her as she left the room. We went back into the sitting room where the Brown Alien handed me the mint-tasting drink, which I swallowed like medicine this time, without keeping it on my tongue.
The door of the craft was open and I noticed that the space machine had actually landed on the clearing in the cocoa plantation for the first time. After saying our goodbyes, they left and I went to climb a prune tree to pick some prunes for all of us. I gathered the prunes in the bucket and went back home.
The villagers were all feverishly hurrying with their preparations for the reception of the Government’s Official, who was finally arriving that afternoon. I too went later, with all the others to the Chieftain’s compound.
When the Government’s Official arrived with his following of police guards and associates, the national anthem was sung, before the conference began, which, I think, turned out to be an electoral campaign on behalf of the then President of Cameroon, who was called Ahmadou Ahidjo.
As I watched the proceedings and the solemn way they were received, the behavior of both the Official, of his companions and of his guards, and that of the Chieftain and the villagers including myself, I suddenly made a rapprochement with my meetings with the Elyonin.
This was a very special and important occasion for the Humans. They were acting on the orders of their President, and they took their work very seriously. How many times for the Aliens who had travelled light years just to meet me, a little African girl of nothing at all?
I had always been amused, and taken for granted their stuffy and serious attitude towards me; their greetings, their bowing and respectful behavior. But now the enormity of what had been happening hit me so hard, that I suddenly felt very sick and nauseous. This time I went behind the Chieftain’s house and vomited. Then doubled up in pain, with renewed and even more violent stomach cramps, I left my grandmother and my sister at the gathering and went home.
I immediately went to bed. And there I lay, trembling, my teeth clattering, my head aching, my face burning while I felt very cold at the same time. How could I even begin to reason with myself in view of what had been happening? Those Aliens who had been meeting me every day, were there on the orders of their Leader Himself. The respectful attitude they had was not for me, but for the One who had sent them.
And who were they truly? They were Humanoids, and they looked human. But they travelled on space vessels that did not exist on Earth. They used names that I usually read in the Bible, and some of their names were names of very respected personages that are named in the same Bible. They told and talked of stories I was familiar with, and that I could read in the Bible.
But what were they? Why me? Was I mad? Was I dead? Was I locked in a very long and deep sleep, and would I wake up to find that it had all been a dream? What was happening to me and was it all real? I did not even try to access the message that had been recorded in my brain. Instead I went into a disturbed sleep, which was filled with chimerical dreams.
I woke up at about twenty-two hours. It was now night time and I could hear the loud beating of tambours and of tom-toms, and the harmonious music of xylophones coming from the village Chieftain’s compound.
I went into the kitchen to drink some water; and my grandmother, who never liked the frivolities of dancing and merriment, was there. And she was surprised to see me at home; as she thought I was still at the Chieftain’s compound with my sister, dancing with the other village girls.
I told her that I did not feel well and went back to bed. I was no longer cold now, however I just felt tired. All the same, I decided to listen to the message, as I reasoned that if I gave in to illness, the meetings with the aliens would be compromised, and I did not want that. I now, more than ever wanted to know what they had to say, for myself. So I concentrated, and after a while, it came:

CHAPTER SIX
MESSAGE OF THE FOURTH DAY
‘Again we urge Humanity, to stop thinking that they are the only living humanoid beings in this Universe. Such a belief would be utterly stupid, naive, and dare I even say ignorant. If you people of Earth care to study all the old writings now existing on your planet, you will find that on many several occasions, our presence, and the presence of other non Earth beings, who have visited your planet are mentioned. We shall now continue where we stopped yesterday.’
*

‘So, even though those Humans who were faithful to us no longer had a transmitter-receiver to contact us with, we still followed them; we watched and guarded them from a distance, listening to their prayers and intervening and helping them when we saw fit to do so.’
JACOB’S SIGHTING
‘In the book of Genesis 28:11-19, another encounter between ourselves and Jacob, the grandson of Abraham is related. At that time Humanity had virtually returned to a state of savagery.’
‘Sightings of us Elyonin had virtually become but legends. And as they saw the pagans worshipping the Fallen Watchers and the Renegades, the ‘People of God’ had begun worshipping us, now calling us their ‘Elohim’ or their gods; in the same way the pagans called the other Extra-Terrestrials they too adored. For the ‘People of God’, Yahweh, our leader had now become the main god they worshipped; while we, His messengers or angels, were held in similar high esteem. Nothing we told them could convince them that we were beings similar to them.’
‘So Jacob was alone in a deserted place at night. And seeing his devotion to God and his effort in mastering the Mysteries, we judged him worthy now to be contacted, and to be made one of our messengers among the Humans; as his father and grandfather had been.’
‘He had fallen asleep when he was awakened by our space vessel landing close to where he was sleeping. The door of the vessel was open, a ladder had been lowered for the visitors to descend, and a strong electric light from it shone on the whole area. And as he had never seen such a thing before, Jacob concluded that he was dreaming, and was having a vision from God as it is written:
‘And he dreamed, and behold, a ladder set up on the earth and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending.’
‘And behold, the Lord stood above it, and said, I am the Lord God of Abraham, thy father, and the God of Isaac...’
‘Of course the words truly were: We are the Elyonin of whom Abraham and Isaac your father spoke. But having said this, we also urge you to believe that God and His angels truly exist.’
‘And if and when Humans make the effort to master the Mysteries of God, as we urge them to do, they would receive the proof by themselves. Because God’s angels would appear and tend to them as they do to us, and as they did to the ancient Prophets; for nothing has changed.’
‘The difference between us, and the Messengers from God is easily noticed in the scriptures. When one of us was offered food and drink, it is clearly stated that he ate. But when an Angel of God was offered food, he never ate; instead he would order the food to be set on an altar as an offering. Then he would set fire on the offering and ascend in the smoke of the sacrifice upwards. Or he would simply disappear from the seer’s sight. Now we come to Moses.’
MOSES
‘Moses was one of our Prophets after Jacob who had regular visits from us and who described his sightings, and our interactions with him in a most spectacular and detailed manner.’
‘Know then, that despite any scientific explanations that would now be given by Human scientists, what happened when Moses was in Egypt was both a demonstration of our power, and the use of the Mysteries that we gave to Humanity. For nothing is impossible to God, we tell you again. And not believing that there is a Universal God is a very bestial and mortal error that should not even be in your thoughts.’
‘Our work with Moses was one that was our last attempt to forever give the Law of God, and to firmly establish faith in Him among the people of Earth, while at the same time insuring that the memory of us did not disappear from Earth for good.’
‘The Nephilim had again firmly established themselves on Earth especially in Egypt where they married the daughters of Noah’s descendants by his son Ham, and helped found the first mighty Royal Dynasties of the Pharaohs.’
‘Our battles with the Renegades were confined to Outer Space, away from Earth, where we now had to fight their space vessels, before we could enter Earth’s space to meet with our Prophets who lead the few ‘People of God’ who existed then, and who gave our side of the story to Humanity at that time.’
‘Our Council of the Wise decided against any further military interventions against the Renegades on the Earth’s surface, whenever we could help it. Since they saw that it was exactly what the Renegades wanted. As their aim has always been the destruction and the annihilation of the Human Race, the Renegades welcomed the Wars, because they could then just watch the sufferings, and the deaths of large numbers of our beloved Creation. But Earth being now so heavily populated, we could no longer conduct our Wars here.’
‘All had returned to a near-primitive state and idolatry abounded. All Extra-Terrestrials that came to Earth came to be seen as gods. The people who were loyal to us were worshipping YAHWEH, the leader of our Council of the Wise as God, as I have already said. The rest worshipped the Nephilim.’
‘And those who knew of both our stories, worshipped us and the Nephilim, by making several, different idols of both groups of us. Even the people who travelled with Jacob and who had the opportunity to know our teachings, still superstitiously kept the old idols of the Nephilim that they had brought with them and still prayed
