Ummo Letter 444

Mr. Ribera Jordá: You surely remember a typewritten correspondence received at your home in Barcelona from our brothers residing in France. In this context, they promised to send informative documentation regarding our identity, documentation that we have abstained from sending for obvious reasons. Indeed, as you may have noticed throughout our paragraphs, we believe that a dissemination of our existence within the terrestrial community is contraindicated if it reaches high levels of informational expansion. It is not the information itself (limited to micro-networks or isolated responsible individuals) that we are trying to avoid, but the sociocultural effervescence with unpredictable harmful effects that the awareness of the reality of our existence would provoke among you. You should not consider our deliberate restriction of objective evidence as a malicious game, for if these were provided by my brothers, they would transgress the protective norm adopted by our community. Thus, we have fully achieved the sought psychosocial balance through which it is possible for us to offer, to a minority of interested brothers from various nationalities on EARTH, truthful information regarding our customs, the characteristics of the solidified star UMMO, our history, our scientific-technological level, and other data, while introducing a cautious dose of skepticism, a precaution which sterilizes the sensational potential contained in these revelations, keeping them within determined social environments. However, we will not hide from you that such balance can be dangerously damaged by yourselves as IOGIOEMMII (free-thinking beings) if we do not introduce elements of confusion into social communication media - a solution that is not always viable for our INAYUYISAA (small isolated community) -. You will remember that at the time of receiving our letter, the priest Enrique Lòpez Guerrero, who usually resides in Mairena del Alcor in Spain, fueled by understandable enthusiasm and informed of our existence through information channels coming from your brothers in Madrid, Barcelona, and Paris - you are included among them - could not suppress his desire to draw his own conclusions before your press brothers. The expansion of the news exceeded the limits that my brothers deemed tolerable. This is not a reproach we make to you, as we never imposed any prohibition on this man, but you understand our reactions of distrust and self-defense that led to our timely departure from Spain as well as the suspension of contacts until the situation clarifies. But it is certain that such urgency proved useful for us later as it demonstrated that we were overestimating the risk of an exorbitant spread of the news. Based on all this, we have strengthened our precautionary measures. We know that some of you have installed tape recording devices connected to the telephone network. We note that they have also engaged the services of a major agency for confidential information, and driven by understandable curiosity, have begun marginal investigations to try to locate us. Furthermore, the pardonable imprudence of one of our collaborators on EARTH allowed one of our correspondents to identify the hotel in a city in southern Spain where we had stayed for a while. We do not blame you for this activity, intimately linked to pressing human necessities stemming from legitimate aspirations such as the objective knowledge of reality, but we wish to justify our inhibitions and reservations. That is why we do not wish to add anything else to the recommendations that were conveyed to you, Mr. Antonio Ribera Jordá, in the letter from my brother SOODU 7, son of SOODU 4, aside from the fact of restating them again. Unless adverse circumstances prevent us from continuing our transmissions, we will provide you with selected data concerning our OOYAA (Note: this refers to the report referenced from D74 to D81 and received in three parts.) (low surface temperature star), its situation and astronomical characteristics, the physiology of the UMMOEMMII, the socio-economic structure of our social network, etc. We wish to express our most respectful devotion to you.
