Ummo Letter 916

12-12-1966 Mr. ENRIQUE VILLAGRASA Madrid My dear Sir, First of all, I would like to introduce myself as I do not have the pleasure of knowing you. I am the gentleman living in Madrid who types what these gentlemen who claim to be from the Planet Ummo dictate to me. They left Spain under emergency conditions - they told me they might return before the beginning of the year - and they asked me to write some apologies to several gentlemen residing in Four Spanish Capitals, with whom they are in correspondence. They did not give me further instructions nor did they even indicate where they were going. They only insisted that I do not give my name which I would have satisfied myself without them advising me beforehand. They asked me to tell you that they would continue to communicate with you upon their return. As they did not forbid me, I take this opportunity to write at length to several gentlemen to whom we sent studies and letters when they were here. You will understand that I was eager at least to be able to communicate by letter with you. Sometimes I thought of calling you on the phone or doing something to see us all to discuss this matter. But how would they take it? At first we wrote only to two gentlemen (many are those to whom we only wrote letters and to others we sent a study) but some gentlemen should not care since from what I have 'gathered' in conversations and from the tone of the letters, they doubted and rightly so that this matter is serious. Look: This matter has kept me awake for months. I am in it and I doubt about the path to take. On one hand, they pay me well and I have observed nothing immoral or illegal, on the other hand my wife, as is natural for women (You understand me; if you are married) becomes very nervous since she is frightened (She believes it is a matter of espionage). I myself recognize that I cannot foresee the future consequences of this matter. I believe we should all meet to clarify all this without their knowledge. It is not about betraying them (I would not be able to do that after the way they behave) Nor about denouncing them (moreover the Government must know about this matter and keeps it quiet). Do you know that I myself wrote several things under their dictation to a gentleman who is a Police Commissioner and that they must call him on the phone for the manner in which they write to him? And do you know that a Professor at the University (Faculty of Medicine) not only receives studies on Physiology but that he himself has even come to give me 914 / 1373? Things for them? (Note: Return of Professor Gallego's device? To be verified) Personally, I know two of you. The Professor of Medicine Cité (Note: Gallego?) and another gentleman to whom they write a lot and who himself has seen some wonderful photographs they gave me to show him. They have kept this quiet possibly because they don't want to be thought of as crazy, but they know too well that behind this lies the greatest of events currently taking place these days in Spain. They have written little to you, but there are gentlemen who have been receiving pages and pages for months (these two I mentioned). My story about all this is long and I cannot write it down in a few sheets. That is why we should all meet, at least those from Madrid and Barcelona, the two gentlemen from Valladolid and the one from Bilbao, and those who cannot travel should express their opinions in writing. I am thinking about how, although I prefer to wait a few more months to see what to make of this matter. The first one I met was the greatest among them. (His name is DA number 3. They call themselves by a word and a number) My brother-in-law wanted to do extra work, typing copies (1) (Note: Manuscript reference added to the text) and since he doesn’t have a phone, he asked me to use mine to receive the orders. A gentleman with a foreign voice called me and said he would come. I told him when I received him at home that I actually type very poorly, but he insisted, pleading that he would dictate to me himself, despite me assuring him that I was very slow and that the typewriter was old. He insisted by giving me a note. I told him it was excessive and that he didn’t understand the type of payment given for such work. He assured me that he knew perfectly well. Thus began what turned out to be the most astonishing experience I am living through. My wife immediately realized what was happening and asked me not to receive them. They initially posed as doctors from Denmark. But I quickly saw that there was “something” behind this because a doctor doesn’t dictate mathematical things, and about Electrotechnics, Geology, and Astronomy. (1) and we placed an ad in ABC. (Note: Manuscript note) But what started making us suspicious was that although they opened their mouths like everyone else to speak, sometimes the movement of their lips was not synchronized with the words coming from their throats. The day he dictated a letter for a gentleman who was a professional Astrophysicist from Barcelona, he stated he came from a planet called Ummo; I was so astonished that I had enormous difficulty continuing. Eventually, I understood everything. I found myself undoubtedly before a madman. They are true madmen and I realized my wife had guessed by that intuition women have. (She didn’t believe they were mad but sensed that something was abnormal). I continued to write without knowing what to do. I thought it was better to hide: to seek advice on when to file a complaint. But when he finished dictating to me, he begged me to listen to him, and we had a long conversation. I realized that this man had a fabulous culture. He justified his origin in such a logical way that I was left astounded. I therefore dismissed the first idea that they were some sort of madmen, but you will understand that I could not convincingly believe that they were from another world. I have my own education. At that time, moreover, there was a program on Television that we all watched every Friday at neighbors' titled "Objective Indiscreet" and I imagined it was about that. We had solid discussions my wife and I. Besides, there was my brother-in-law who often came and started to be astonished, as well as my mother-in-law. And then they paid me much more than I earned at the office. It was a real conflict. I could not talk about it because people would have mocked us. One of the days he came, the one I later found out was their Director ended up convincing me. Not only was he aware of the discussions with my wife (which he asked me to excuse) but he showed me a device that left me astounded since, on what looked like a small flat screen, the images of my little office were visible in relief and an extraordinary color. (I saw myself moving as if he On 29/04/18, it was a miniature cinema screen.) These gentlemen possess an impressive culture. I have managed to learn about topics related to Accounting and the mechanization of Offices that I would never have dreamed of learning from books. Moreover, I am an admirer of classical music. The director, named Dei number 98, has an impressive musical knowledge. They talk about a thousand things as if they were a living encyclopedia. I admit that in mathematics, I barely know what I learned at Business School. But they dictated pages and pages to me with mathematical signs that seem to me to be advanced mathematics since they also sent them to a Professor at the University in the Faculty of Chemistry. (To whom we have not written for quite some time) and the same applies in Geology and engineering. We were writing to an engineer up until the last day they were here before leaving, a study on floor coverings full of graphs and formulas. How can you expect me not to believe? I am sure we are experiencing something grand that will be revolutionary if it comes to light. But will the Government allow it? I am almost certain they are aware of it. Am I doing the right thing by staying silent? Will they hold us responsible for something? If on the other hand, we tell it, don't you think we will be considered crazy? Since I have my Lady as a witness even though she continues to attribute it to espionage, influenced as she is by cinema. But I do not believe that neither witnesses nor written evidence will suffice. I keep a proof in reserve to show in the worst-case scenario, but only those knowledgeable will accept it. (since we know how skeptical people can be.) I dare not give you names without knowing if it would displease them, but among those who receive letters, there are several professions. An Engineer from I.C.A.I. The wife of a pharmacist, An industrial engineer, A professor I visited, The Professor I mentioned in the letter, The Commissioner also cited, a playwright, two priests, several university professors, an astronomer, three short story authors, another engineering assistant, and a few others. I do not know why he wrote to you and not to others. But they do not talk about it. Despite everything, there are things I cannot fully digest. How do you explain that men with such fabulous knowledge have not learned to type? There is no doubt that dictating to someone unknown to them, like I am, and another whom I know also does this work for them, is a certain risk. Doesn't that seem to you? Then there is another thing: how did they learn our language if they come from another Planet? Moreover, what do they gain by writing? If they want to be believed; they should show evidence that I have seen myself! It would be enough (sic) if they showed the device I saw working, or a sphere the size of a walnut that moves (1) (Reference added to the text) in the air to take photographs. I saw it, and it left me astounded. It stopped in the air at different heights, exited the room (1) This device is called UULUEWA; it measures 2.19 cm in diameter. (Note added) it returned as if directed by radio. and remained hidden on a shelf where I keep books. They say that in addition, there is a kind of microphone inside, and they explained to me that this way they listened to conversations with my wife. All this is contradictory because if on one hand, these inventions do not exist here on Earth, which I believe, on the other hand, why do they not show them to anyone but me? Sometimes my wife almost manages to convince me. After all, the Russians and Americans have many secrets about inventions. But then I talk to them. They have a tone of voice... They speak with humility and persuasion... No: I have resisted believing that they could lie to me. You can tell by someone's eyes when a person is sincere... Do not believe that in their form they are as they are described in science fiction stories. Not even the skin. I myself thought they were Danish when DA number 3 told me so. So here is our doubt. Don't you think that other beings from other planets should not be like us? I need to agree with this Professor [from the University] of Medicine. It is evident that he knows more than I do. And he believes. He stays silent but he believes. I saw him concerned when I spoke with him on the days when I brought him their packages and he handed me others. not accepted. Since I will never reveal his name, nor yours, nor anyone else's without express permission from all of you. But it is necessary for you to be convinced as well and for all of us to gather somewhere to decide something. Either we are being victims of some strange plot, or as I believe, we are experiencing something that would be transcendental for Humanity. Since they are, from what I have seen, in correspondence with other people from all over the world. See for yourself. I have brought photographs to a gentleman whose name I cannot reveal. He was incredulous. He was so surprised that he called his family to see them. It’s something difficult to explain. They had a depth and fabulous color. So, from then on, they dictated many letters to him, and I am sure he is one of those who believes too. Are we all going to be crazy or what? There is more. Right after revealing their identity to me, I started buying books that might deal with Flying Saucers. I always believed they were things from Journalists. So, I did not find any references to Planet Ummo in any. But I found a text titled "The Riddle of Flying Saucers" (it is sold at Espasa Calpe). Thus, on page 429, there is a drawing of the Saucer which I don't know if you know landed in Aluche, in the province of Madrid. !!! It has their symbol on the bottom part !!! I can assure you of this because I have seen it multiple times in the writings of these gentlemen !!! The symbol is identical. It only lacks a horizontal bar. Furthermore, they themselves confessed that their brothers (as they call their compatriots) landed in this village of Aluche. I will not tire you further. I am writing in similar terms to all the correspondents of these gentlemen. I was eager to pour my heart out to someone who would understand me. Your affmo (Note: Abbreviation for "polite" not found in the dictionary. However, "afmo" with one f is the abbreviation for "your very devoted") and s.s. (Note: Abbreviation for "devoted servant") (allow me to omit my name, although I know it is incorrect to be anonymous)
