   Subj: News from Colombia


   I  met with Mr.  German Marino on Sunday afternoon [12/29/91] to  speak
   about  the  Colombian peasant who claims to have been abducted  by  ETs
   this past April. Mr. Marino, who is a sociologist,  had the opportunity
   to meet Mr. Luis Roberto Rodr�guez on August 24, 1991. That was the day
   when  the  peasant  made public his experience with ETs  and  read  one
   message  addressed  to President Bush and another to  the  Cardinal  of
   Colombia.   Rodr�guez said that those messages had to be  delivered  in
   person but since he was not able to achieve it,  ETs told him he should
   make them public no later than August 24th.

   The meeting was held in a rural town named Pacho.  It is located at one
   and a half hours drive north of Bogota [Colombia's Capital City.] There
   were about 3,000 people when the peasant made his speech.  Most of them
   were  from other places of Colombia.  Mr.  Marino also learned that  at
   least there were two journalists from abroad,  one from France and  the
   other from Spain.

   Rodr�guez is a 37-year-old,  light brown complexion, black eyes, 5 feet
   5   inches,   stocky build Colombian man,  who looked very healthy  and
   radiant.   He  is literate and attended up to 4th grade  of  elementary
   school.  He explained that ETs picked him up because he was found in  a
   place which has a beneficial environment for them to make contact.   He
   added  that anybody else could have been picked up,  should he  or  she
   have  been  there at that time.  The peasant described  the  ship  that
   transported him to what he thought was the moon,  as "a small  bottle."
   He  also  said he was alert and aware for most of the time he spent  in
   the  alien  world.   He added that he was left alone for a while  in  a
   lighted  place but he could not see the source of the light.  When this
   happened, Mr. Rodr�guez said that he was able to see himself as he was,
   to  become  cognizant of how he thought and acted.  He said  he  became
   ashamed of himself but he did not explain why.

   He was then taken to a larger room with a long table. There he saw many
   beings  that  were  not  exactly human.  He described  them  as  having
   different  sizes and heights.  However he was most impressed by the way
   they  related  with each other.  He said there was peace and  happiness
   among  those beings and he has never seen that on earth.  He added that
   it was hard for him to describe it with words.

   Another  detail  is related to Mr.  Rodr�guez's health.  Prior  to  his
   abduction  he  suffered from kidney stones and his doctor told  him  he
   needed  an  operation.   When  he came back  his  kidneys  were  clear.
   Furthermore,  he was implanted with a device in his right scapula.  The
   peasant  explained  the  ETs operated twice on  his  body.   The  first
   operation  was to remove the stones from his kidneys and to better  his
   health.   The  second was to implant a device which was to be  used  to
   facilitate ETs communications with him.  Mr.  Rodr�guez was examined by
   doctors  in the city of Medell�n [Colombia.] They found him  physically
   healthy and apparently they have also detected something strange in his
   back.

   The peasant insists that ETs have a plan scheduled by dates.  He  added
   that he will release new messages in the future.  He also said that  he
   receives  the messages telepathically.  He left copies of them  in  the
   local Municipality. To get in contact with this place you can write to:

   Alcald�a Municipal de Pacho
   Pacho, Cundinamarca
   Colombia

   NOTE: I spent near three hours talking with Mr. Marino.  He only speaks
         Spanish.  I  had the impression he was telling the truth but what
         he  told me is the best of his recollection of what he heard  the
         peasant saying.  He said he will write to his friends in Colombia
         requesting  printed  material  on this subject.   I'll  keep  you
         posted.
