*** "I am leaving soon, and you will forgive me if I speak bluntly. There
must be security for all, or no one is secure. *** Now this does not mean
giving up any freedom, except the freedom to act irresponsibly. Your ancestors
knew this when they made laws to govern themselves, and hired policemen
to enforce them. We of the other planets have long accepted this principle.
We have an organization for the mutual protection of all planets, and
for the complete elimination of aggression. The test of any such higher
authority, is of course the police force that supports it. *** For our
policemen, we created a race of robots. Their function is to patrol the
planets in spaceships like this one, and preserve the peace. In matters
of aggression, we have given them absolute power over us. This power cannot
be revoked. At the first sign of violence they act automatically against
the aggressor. The penalty for provoking their action is too terrible
to risk. The ONLY result is, we live in peace, without arms or armies,
secure in the knowledge that we are FREE from aggression and war, free
to pursue more profitable enterprises. *** Now we do not pretend to have
achieved perfection, but we DO have a system, and it works. I came here
to give you these facts. It is no concern of ours how you run your own
planet. But if you threaten to extend your violence, this Earth of yours
will be reduced to a burned out cinder. Your choice is simple: Join us
and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration.
We shall be waiting for your answer. The decision rests with you."

Paul Villa
While on a job one day in the Long Beach area, he felt a strong urge to
go down to the beach, a feeling which he did not understand, but he went
anyway. There he met a man about 7 feet tall. At first he was afraid and
just wanted to run, but the man called him by name and told him many personal
things about himself. Villa realized that he was communicating with a
very superior intelligence, and he then became aware that this being was
a spaceman. "He knew everything I had in my mind and told me many things
that had taken place in my life," Villa says. 'he then told me to look
out beyond the reef. I did and saw a metallic-looking disc-shaped craft
that seemed to be floating on the water. Then the spaceman asked me if
I would like to go aboard the ship and look around, and I went with him.
The beings on the craft were entirely human-like in appearance, although
better looking in general than our Earth people, as they were definitely
more refined in face and form. Also they had an advanced knowledge of
science and technology, as evidenced by their craft, and by their conversation
with me."
Those beings told Villa that the whole Galaxy to which our Earth belongs
is as a grain of sand on a huge beach compared to the unfathomable number
of inhabited bodies in the entire Universe.
With technological equipment aboard, their spaceships can penetrate Earth's
RADAR detection systems undetected unless they choose otherwise. It seems
that their craft are constantly active over the surface of our planet,
and that they plan more landings.
They told Villa that they were here on a friendly mission to help Earth
people, and that there is a superior intelligence that governs the Universe
and everything in it.
The first series of photographs of these ships, taken on 16 June 1963,
was prompted Villa says, when the space contacts told him telepathically
to drive his pick-up truck to a pre-selected meeting place alone. When
he arrived, he saw a landed spacecraft which he estimated to be about
70 feet in diameter. There were 9 people aboard that ship; 4 men and 5
women, they disembarked through a "sealed" door (that couldn't be seen
when closed) . These beings ranged in height from 7 to 9 feet tall and
were well proportioned. Some were blond, some were red-headed (like polished
copper) , and some had black hair. They told him they came from a planet
near what we call Coma Berenices, some light years distant. They were
able to speak many languages, as well as to communicate telepathically
among themselves and to him.
Villa was told that this ship carried 9 remotely-controlled monitoring
craft which were about 14" in diameter, and were controlled from instrument
panels within the mother-ship. They could pick up pictures and sounds
from any area to which the instruments were directed, and could relay
information to visual display panels aboard the larger ship.
After a long conversation, the space-people re-entered their spaceship
and it took off and hovered and maneuvered about the area for some time.
At one point it hovered about 300 feet above the pickup truck and Villa
saw it rise slowly from the ground to a height of three or four feet and
then slowly settle back down again. The spacecraft then flipped up on
its edge with the under part rotating, and traveled sidewise up and down
at different speeds. The distortion on the leading edge of the craft in
photo number 3 is caused by the rotation of the lower half of the ship
and the swaying branches of the trees which were put into motion by a
big rush of wind.
Villa took 7 photographs at this time, all that he had left on the roll
of film, before the ship departed.
In photo number 5 the spaceship is seen between tree trunks. It hovered
in that vicinity for some time. The "ports" around the outer edge of the
rim are a part of the propulsion system. No jets or rockets of any kind
are employed. The "ports" are never used or left unsealed outside the
planet's atmosphere where the magnetic lines of force are further apart,
but are hermetically sealed either manually or automatically before leaving
a planetary atmosphere. Hermetic sealing is accomplished by removing all
force on substances from the basic elements of the parent metals, and
a device is used to charge both surfaces to be sealed either positively
or negatively, depending on how a certain metal is naturally charged.
The sealing of two or more metals cannot be accomplished unless they are
first neutralized and then are all charged with the same polarity. The
carbon elements, however, being anphoteric combine equally well with positively
or negatively charged elements.
When Villa arrived on the scene of this encounter, the spacecraft was
resting on the ground on its tripod landing gear, and the nine crew members
immediately disembarked from under the disc-shaped bottom of the craft
through a door that seamed to appear from nowhere. All of the beings were
dressed alike in immaculate one-piece tight-fitting uniforms. They acted
very friendly, and seemed to be aware of and to have answers to many of
Earth's problems. They talked to Villa for about ninety minutes, from
around 14:30 to 16:00. When talking to Mr. Villa they spoke in both English
and Spanish languages, mostly Spanish. But when conversing among themselves
they used their own language, which sounded a little like Hebrew or Indian.
Some of the crew members carried weapons; that looked like ordinary tubes
made of aluminum about 8 inches long and 1 inch in diameter, tapering
slightly from the center outwards. These, they said, could paralyze any
living thing, whether insect, fowl, animal or man. They looked like tubes
used for "sealing" metals, only in miniature.
While inside the ship, Villa noticed a pulsating green light accompanied
by a sort of 'beep'. Both the green light and the noise seemed to came
right from the metal of the ship itself.
Those spacepeople from 'coma Berenician' expressed a wish for Earth people
to rise above their aggressive and warlike inclinations and live in harmony
with the Universal Laws of the great Creator, as do the people of other
worlds, they said that LOVE is the most powerful force in the Universe,
and that if used correctly, can transform the hearts of men and make them
into beings of light and peace.
When the laws of LOVE rules the minds of men of Earth, then the people
of other worlds will come in great numbers and share with us their advanced
sciences, living among us as friends and brothers in lasting peace, as
they do on many other worlds.
Paul Villa 5 photographs are unique for a number of reasons:
1. They are quite sharp and clear, compared to most UFO photos we have
seen up to that time.
2. The image size of the UFO is large enough to show detail without getting
into extreme graininess in large scale enlargements.
3. There is a series instead of just one photograph under very poor conditions,
a series which provides more detail for evaluation, and provides more
opportunity for discovery of possible suspension lines or other photo
trickery.
4. Villa's truck in the foreground of several of the pictures provides
a known object with which to compare size, light scatter, shadows, relative
proportions, etc., as well as providing a reference for distance.
5. The degree of sharpness of other objects in the near foreground and
the clouds and trees in the distance, indicates that the object had to
be very large in order to achieve the depth of field observed to exist
in these photographs, which operates against the small model hypothesis.
Mr. Gabriel Green of AFSCA, a professional photographer himself who once
worked for MGM studios, took the first set of pictures to MGM laboratories
where they blew them up in progressive stages to control graininess, to
30 by 50 inches for the UK) image alone, and printed them in light and
dark, high and low contrast, and by a process called "slow-burn" (using
narrower aperture and longer time), looking for suspension lines and fine
detail. Now after days of laboratory effort, they concluded, that if those
pictures were faked they did not know how it could be done.
Mr. Bob Flora, a United Press International photographer, was so impressed
with the authentic look of these pictures that he put 3 of them on the
UPI wires and they were subsequently printed in hundreds of newspapers
all over the world. The Los Angeles NEC News program broadcast these pictures
on their new color TV newscast for three nights in a row.
But the most important thing is that this was not an isolated instance.
The contacts continued for a good many years until Paul Villa's death
in September of 1982 in Los Lunas, New Mexico .
Mr. Villa has taken many more photographs of the spaceships of 'his friends'
and, to his regret, even released more of them to friends promising to
observe his confidence. Some of these new pictures got out and were subsequently
published, adding to the woes of his harassment. He has become so bitter
about the treatment such a person gets that he had moved to a secluded
location and kept an unlisted telephone number known to only a very few
friends. In later life he refused to show or even discuss the pictures
with any but his closest friends who, knowing the problems involved, respected
his confidence and his privacy. There was no need to go looking for him
because he kept himself very difficult to find, and if found, would very
likely refuse to discuss the pictures. He was just not at all interested
in what others thought. It had no bearing on the truths he knew first
hand.
Paul Villa's second set of UFO photographs was also taken coincident with
a face-to-face meeting with the UFOnauts on the ground. This time he was
telepathically directed to a different area, about 20 miles due south
of Albuquerque, close to the bed of the Rio Grande River which flows there,
when an immense disc-shaped craft appeared. It was Faster Sunday the 18th
of April 1965 and about 16:00 in the afternoon when he arrived on scene.
This ship looked to be considerably more than 100 feet in diameter. The
big ship slowed and hovered about 500 feet above him. He began snapping
pictures. A wind disturbance arose and became so strong that at one point
Villa thought his truck might blow over. Then without warning, it stopped
suddenly, instantly, just as though someone had turned it off, and the
surrounding air got calm and there was dead silence. Then the huge ship
extended a telescopic tripod landing gear and settled on it, part of which
may be seen in one of the photos.
This time three crewmen disembarked. They had light brown hair and tan
skin, and appeared to be 58" to 59" tall. They also wore one-piece suits.
Villa talked to them there for nearly two hours about personal as well
as general subjects. Among other things, they told him that many nations
were working on atom bombs. They also conversed on both Spanish and English.
On their advice, Villa stopped smoking so as to enhance his ability to
receive their telepathic communications. The men then re-entered the spacecraft
and it took off, making a loud whirring noise and giving off much heat.
The heat became so intense that the ends of the tree branches were singed
and the leaves curled up.
Villa snapped pictures of the big ship both before and after the landing
but did not attempt to take pictures of either the ship on the ground
or of the occupants because he had been asked not to do so, both telepathically
and verbally on the ground, and he willingly complied with their wishes.
(as always- they usually do not accept giving us too convincing proofs,
as the mature one, will understand.R.Ø.rem.)
Paul Villa sought no personal publicity and did not lecture or sell any
of his pictures or accounts of the UFO contacts. The contacts continued
and more pictures were taken. The additional information and other photos,
Villa insisted, were not to be released without his prior permission by
the space-people, and to his death he observed that later prohibition.
Villa made many notes about his contacts and the dialogues which took
place with the extraterrestrials, a collection of notes which exceeded
800 pages last time I saw then. He refused to let them be quoted or published
while he was alive. His wife Eunis has them now and may agree at some
time in the future to allow them to be published.
Paul Villa's excellent photographs have made such an impression, that
opposing forces frequently try to discredit them. They are quick to pronounce
them fakes but at the same time they offer no substantive proof to back
up these allegations. The fact remains however, that all those trying
to discredit them, and unbelievable measures have been taken to do so,
have failed to find any models or accomplices, or any real evidence or
fraud, and nobody to this day has been able to duplicate them. Either
those opponents have to be wrong or Paul Villa was the best photographic
effects man in the world and he wasn't even a photo hobbyist.
For those technical experts interested, Mr. Villa used a Japanese Rokuah-Sha
camera with an f.4.5, 7Smm focal length lens. The pictures were all made
on Kodacolor 120 size film without filters or lens attachments.
One series of photos was filmed on another planet, but has not been revealed
to the public.
