some summary:
                      
                      -contact happened in
                          Brazil in -58. Arthur Berlet was a man of
                          little formal education,(only 2 years) this in
                          contrast to the mexican professor that was
                          picked out to have contact to the "spacewomen
                          LYA" in the early 70s, who was an expert on
                          many scientific themes. | link |
                      AB was born in -31 in the
                          middle of Sarandi, RioGrande do Sul /Brazil.
                          His family was of German/French blood. He was
                          tall, bronzed skin, dark brown hair and blue
                          eyes.
                      AB here never sold a book
                          on this/tried to make money or like on his
                          story, and the investigators found no way to
                          mistrust his descriptions.
                      But the UFO clubs at that
                          time did not understand much of interplanetary
                          or inter-dimension travel and like, so they
                          then as now refused to touch such stories on
                          contactcases, to other planets as factual or
                          real. He was simply not believed and all meant
                          he was crazy with such a story. But he went on
                          to tell of what he had been through, and
                          accepted that most could not believe him.
                      All he experienced on
                            this planet - he wrote down in 14 notebooks.
                           He had not red any science fiction books
                          before, because he was not any
                          book-reading-man, and he lived in rural
                          Brazil. But he was well respected by his
                          neighbors and friends/family.
                      He always stood by his
                          story, in spite of all his problems from it.
                          The story had not been published in English,
                          until WS got it translated and told in the
                          80s.
                      There was much
                          UFO-activity in this area in those days in the
                          late 50s, and many saw them, but it was from
                          this also many rumors.
                      But some did
                          investigations, and in this case; Jorge
                          E.M.Geisel, and Carlos de Oliveira Gomes + Rui
                          Schmidts, who arranged a meeting with Arthur
                          B. in the house of Carlos, some time after
                          rumors came out of his adventures.
                      The men/ Jorge wrote
                          later from this:
                      "after 7,5 h of
                            interrogation, we all were faced with the
                            incredible reality; Berlet had traveled to
                            another planet and was gone for nine earth
                            days from 14may to 23may-58. We met
                            repeatedly, and never had any reason to
                            doubt the verbal account of Berlet. There
                            was an impressive seriousness about him and
                            he never sought to capitalize on his story."
                      He was told by his
                          "travel-masters" that he was brought to planet
                          AKART. It had two artificial "moons" or
                          satellites or rather "platforms" orbiting in
                          space nearby.
                       
                      
                        The abduction
                      
                      "I was walking on foot on
                          the highway in the direction of the city of
                          Sarandi, it was already dark, when I saw this
                          strange and luminous object near the ditch of
                          a farm. I left the street and went closer to
                          verify what it was, and as I saw no life near,
                          I went still closer. Within 10m, I saw people
                          turning a light on me that got me blinded, and
                          I lost consciousness for half to one hour.
                          Later they found that "the visitors" were
                          there for collecting grains and vegetables for
                          experiments, and they judged him to be a
                          farmer.
                      "The commander decided to
                          take me with them, despite their laws said not
                          to do so.
                      'Their ship was ca 30m in
                          diameter, moved by "solar energy".
                      Q: what are those people
                          - from Acart - like?
                      A: on could say much like
                          us, only more pallid. All I saw had hair color
                          of straw, but a few had dark hair. Median
                          stature greater than ours.
                      They talked in a German
                          tongue, but could speak many tongues of earth,
                          and had learned it as many similar races have
                          that observes us, and can be here undetected.
                      
                        - they know MUCH about
                            earth!!
- They believe in a
                            Supreme Being.
-Their BIG problem was
                          that of super-population. And I understand it
                          so that IF the humankind was to destroy
                          itself- they would repopulate our earth with
                          their already crowed planet. They had been
                          THROUGH THEIR OWN atom/nuclear-war-period!
                          They had their  own equipment to clean
                          up here, if any nuclear -war came, but would
                          not interfere!
                      
                        - they can stay here on
                            remote places having stations here
- their ships can remain
                            up to 1 year in space without resupply of
                            oxygen or alimentation.
- Their armament power
                            was of 2 weapons; the solar disintegrator,
                            and the solar neutralizer. The last is
                            employed in medicine and to combat the
                            plagues of farmers.
- Out of the book
                            page20, it seems as some of them also ate
                            meat, and just that is rare of the ET
                            visitors, but those here was not so much in
                            front of Earth's stage, it seems.
- He said the climate he
                            experienced was very cold. Their day was 46
                            h - almost twice of ours. And a year there
                            had 353days.
- All transport was by
                            air. "…I only saw vehicles on wheels on a
                            farm and a kind of train - and this was
                            subterran, automatic- without conductor.
- They had some small
                            "air-ships" for transport of 2-12
                            passengers.
- No moon there- but two
                            gigantic spaceplatforms that orbit the
                            planet, which have thousands of vehicles
                            stationed on them. He first believed they
                            were natural moons.
- Their houses and
                            cities were some similar to here- but the
                            houses seemed to be made of some kind like,
                            light, laminated steel in div. colors.

                      
                          More on the happening
                              on Acart
                        
                        -out of his notebooks,
                            he made when he returned, as not to forget
                            from this remarkable experience.
                      
                      It began when he was in
                          the local region in Brazil, where he had made
                          some photographic job, and saw a ship with
                          dark red light near a farm. A spotlight came
                          on him, and he lost conscious. When he woke
                          up, he was in a white room, reminding a
                          hospital, but soon understood he was inside a
                          craft. After some time he was taken out and
                          saw a city not so different as those of earth,
                          but the high-houses was of metal in many
                          colours. He was imprisoned in a room, where he
                          got some food, - meat and bread - as he was
                          very hungry.
                      He was then taken into a
                          big meeting room- where many (seemingly
                          GOVERNMENT-people) looked at him. He saw
                          pictures of landscapes on the walls. They
                          spoke for 20min together, and he felt they
                          discussed just him. He though they may be
                          Russians, and had taken him because he had
                          seen a new  secret weapon. (then they
                          must have looked very white-earthpeople-like.
                          R.Ø.rem.)
                      He tried to talk to them
                          in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and then
                          German/deutsch. This last they, or some of
                          them, seemed to understand. (and later he
                          found out that it was because some of them had
                          been outplaced for some time here on Earth, to
                          watch/"spy" and learn).
                      He was then taken to
                          another place, and they brought him out on the
                          streets, which were crowded by people walking
                          -but he saw no kind of cars or like. He
                          wore the cape+ a cap, he had got from them.
                          Nothing then separated him out from the
                          others.
                      Suddenly he saw up and
                          saw a lot of crafts in the sky. One suddenly
                          shot down from above, to a terrace of a house
                          so quick that he was sure it would crash into
                          it. But it had seemingly full control.
                      Later he was advised to a
                          room reminding more of a hotel room, with
                          bathroom, but from the "shower" came more like
                          gas than water, because it was so light. He
                          got clothes from them after the bathing, but
                          felt like a clown in them, as they were
                          strange, he remarks in his writings.
                      He was then taken into a
                          new conference room where another group
                          discussed what seemed to be just HIM! One of
                          them spoke to him in German, which he did
                          understand. This man was ca 2m tall! He
                          remarked else a girl of ca 20 there,  and
                            all were so white skinned, as he says it
                            seemed they had been inside for years, he
                            remarks in his writing! Arthur's own
                          father was German, and his mother was
                          Portuguese- living in Brasilia. He was offered
                          a drink, but didn't dare to drink it.
                      Arthur asked if they
                            were Germans, and got the answer they were
                            all Acartians! He said his visit
                          there was almost accidental, nobody having
                          planned to take any earthlings there, and that
                          he would be brought back within 10days.
                          Neither was they ALLOWED to bring any from
                          Earth to their planet, so the captain, who did
                          take him from Earth, was punished for that, he
                          later found out! (had to work in a mine for
                          some time as punishment)
                      He was then with them in
                          a new meal, and they all talked together after
                          the meal, but only one of them was he able to
                          talk to - in German as mentioned. His name was Acorc.
                       
                      Their way of
                          greeting/meeting, was not to shake hands, but
                          place a hand on each others shoulders! For
                          persons they knew very well, they used both
                          hands!
                      They underlined they
                          believed in God and remarked that he, the
                          visitor, was a kind of doubting.
                      Later he was taken into a
                          smaller craft/ufo-like thing, with a
                          pilotcabin and wonderful view outside, and
                          brought to another city - the main city-
                          called CON, a city so big and marvelous that
                          the earthman was speechless, and also by all
                          the crafts flying around….so near, but never
                          collided, as he supposed many times. They
                          looked more like small, flying
                          camping-trailers in view. He was later told
                          that these ones could go up to 10.000km/h.
                      They landed on top of a
                          big house (big roof as a sportsfield he says…)
                          which was where his host lived with his
                          family. Well, each flat seemed to have terrace
                          as a personal landingplatform for those
                          personal flying "camping-trailers".
                      
                      Inside he got a
                          demonstration of a kind of apparatus where his
                          host could talk to a women seeming living
                          "inside" - it was as a shock for Arthur to
                          view. (Well not so strange today- now we also
                          have picture-phones, but theirs seemingly was
                          of 3d kind…remember this was in the late 50s,
                          when only primitive black-white TV's was seen
                          rarely in this land. rø-rem.)
                      This women was his wife,
                          who soon came in. She was also quite tall,
                          blue eyes and shoulder -long hair of straw
                          colour. The child with her was of ca 12 years
                          -their son, and he was clothed just as he was
                          from our earth, and he was very curious on the
                          stranger from earth. Both the boy and his
                          mother also asked questions to Arthur, that
                          Acorc translated. The boy stayed with them
                          much of the time he was by visit of this
                          family, in spite of he didn't understand his
                          talking/German, though his father translated
                          some of it.
                      Arthur also saw that the
                          furniture in their day-room, was fixed with
                          the walls…
                      Then he was shown more of
                          the big city they were in.
                      They called the governor
                          ("spiritual ruler" of their planet,R.Ø.rem)
                          "the son of the sun"
                      Later he told him of
                          their long ongoing spacetraffic- most of it to
                          earth, for collecting plants and other
                          materials.
                      
                        He gave him this
                            comparison between the 2planets:
                      
                      One Acartian year is
                          similar to 675 days of Earth -
                      One month of Acart is
                          similar 61days, 8 h of Earth
                      One Ac. week is similar "
                          9days 14h of Earth
                      One Ac. hour is similar
                          7h,40min of Earth
                      Planet Acart rotates more
                          slowly than Earth, around itself, so a
                          day-night(døgn) was much longer than here on
                          E.so the nights/sleeptime were ca 17h
                          normally!!
                      Their main purpose
                              for visiting earth was to try to develop
                              plants for more effective production of
                              food, and especially wheat, which they
                              seemed to have problems with "there"
                              according to what they told. 
                          They thought that he was a farmer planting
                          wheat, and that they could learn some useful
                          from him! They told him they had given him a
                          sort of narco for him to sleep during most of
                          the trip, lasting some 36hours.
                      The commander of the ship
                          that had taken the decision to bring Arthur to
                          Acart, had done this against the orders of not
                          touch or kill any earthling, neither bring
                          them off-earth. So he was punished and had to
                          serve a year in mine, where they took up
                          steel, according to what they told him.
                       
                      
                        No countries
                            on Acart
                      
                      All the planet had for
                          long time been ONE country or region. He told
                          that ca 100y back - also A had many countries
                          -hundreds. From that many wars- but a last
                          enough of them, and they began co-operating
                          and went together into ONE.
                      They said they had been
                          observing earth with equipment and cameras so
                          good that they could take pictures of a
                          nailhead from 200km up. They captured
                          radio-and TV-programs, and took all into their
                          computers for help and study. In some 10y they
                          had learned much of earth- incl. German
                          language. Others had also learned Russian,
                          Spanish and English he told.
                      Arthur asked how they
                          could collect all this, without being seen,
                          and got the answer that they could make
                          themselves invisible - i.m neutralize the
                          vision.
                      
                        Some from page55 in the
                            original book:
                      
                      "after reaching a height
                          of 200m above the buildings, we flew in a
                          straight line toward the north for some two
                          minutes. Suddenly, we stopped abruptly and
                          began to descend. We descended to a narrow
                          street full of pedestrians (streetwalkers).
                          The machine hovered near the side of an alley,
                          where there were also an infinity of people.
                          There we jumped down and mixed with the
                          multitude. What I felt was unusual about those
                          people, was that it seemed that nobody was in
                          a hurry, not the haste that is so peculiar to
                          the great cities on Earth.
                      
                      idea  of those glorious
                            cities on Acart - but there the buildings
                            themselves radiated diff.colors
                      "Another aspect that drew
                          my intention, was the manner of dress of those
                          people. I never saw anybody ill-dressed or
                          shabby. Almost all of the men wore clothes
                          more or less like what I wore, in material as
                          well as design. (page 55 I old book, 64 in
                          ebook) The small variations were scarcely
                          noticeable. The dress of the women was in
                          similar style. Another thing that intrigued me
                          was the fact that none of them paid any
                          attention to me…"
                      Arthur remarked also that
                          it was quite cold when the sun set, but his
                          guide there didn't seem to freeze, but so did
                          Arthur. He said they had no seasons, same all
                          the time. And he remarked the sun didn't shine
                          from any blue sky there- more like cloudy all
                          time. (well, that was the first day, later a
                          morning he saw the sun rise in clear). Some
                          day later he experienced this cold after
                          sunset again, but he was SO impressed by the
                          view of the city at night, that he almost
                          forget the cold. This when he saw the splendor
                          of the houses -seemed to shine colors of all
                          kind, but at night those effects were much
                          stronger, and the sight was very impressive
                          for the earthling.
                      
                        No money used there -
                            free of that slave medium
                      
                      -after another, later,
                          visit to a kind of cafe - where they had got
                          some warm to drink - Arthur went up to
                          "cafehost" intending to pay, because he saw
                          his fellowman didn't pay. It was then he found
                          out that money or "paying" in our way, do not
                          exist on that planet!
                      (more on that later)
                      In the evening, he again
                          got some time for himself thinking if this
                          could be possible, but rather he "could not
                          wake up" from any dream either, so it had to
                          be real..…so then he got a form of panic, when
                          he began thinking all this through. He also
                          had 2small children of 1-2years back on earth.
                      Then Acorc came in with a
                          wine -drink he had made of fruit, which also
                          contained alcohol, and he said that drinking
                          such was not allowed in public places, only in
                          homes. He said the government there had
                          converted all the factories that earlier made
                          harmful things like alcohol- into producing
                          beneficial matter.
                      *
                      
                        Frequent meals
                      
                      The meals were frequent,
                          and fish was always on the menu, plus a dark
                          bread - looking like our rye bread, and he
                          said that their fish and oceans were just
                          similar to ours here on earth. "Despite all
                          that I had eaten there, it seemed to me then
                          that I could not weigh even50kilos there" (he
                          was 90kg on earth). He remarked that they
                          never began a meal, without first praying and
                          thanking for it. When he went to bed (a very
                          comfortable) one evening, he came to study his
                          footwear he had got, and it was a kind of
                          sandal - which description in the book reminds
                          me of these health-sandal with uneven surface,
                          sole, and those also had springs inside. But
                          it was very comfortable, as he says he could
                          hardly feel his feet when walking…
                      The room he slept in when
                          he was as a guest by them, had no windows,
                          lying in the centre of the house, and next
                          morning he woke up, without knowing which
                          hour/time it was. He put on the local clothes
                          he had got from his host, not to stand out. He
                          then went out to the terrace, and looked at
                          the radiant, beautiful city he was in, waiting
                          for his host to awaken.
                      Else was Acorc, his host,
                          not sure of how much he could explain to the
                          visitor, regarding all the details of life and
                          government.on Acart, until he had been guided
                          by the authorities/the "son of he sun". The
                          opinions diverged among the council on this he
                          experienced the following day.
                      That day he took on his
                          earthly clothes - before meeting "son of he
                          sun". They went to the balcony where the
                          flying machine stood, pressed a button, so
                          that the fence went down, and flew away to the
                          seat of the government.some 60km away. He then
                          understood that his host didn't live in the
                          centre of the city, for just that was where
                          they now flew, and landed on the roof of the
                          government.building, where many similar crafts
                          stood parked. They went down an elevator to a
                          meetingroom. Arthur saw that the gathering had
                          big respect for Acorc- his host there. He told
                          him that the council was of more than
                          500people, and both of them were nervous. The
                          house was round, and so was the room they came
                          into. But one straight wall where a big table
                          + chairs stood in front of the curved seats in
                          many levels. This council of 9men, incl. "the
                          son of the sun", was gathered when necessary,
                          and now the earthman was the first thing to
                          discuss. ."the son of the sun" was picked out
                          of many thousands, out of his
                          human-/understanding/wisdom- qualifications.
                          They should discuss whether Arthur should be
                          returned to earth.
                      A debate followed where
                          he was interrogated. 
                      this from the book;
                      
                      "…we have transformed our
                          planet from a hell of theft and robbery, lies,
                          usury, speculations and shame, to a paradise
                          of love, fraternity, understanding and
                          progress".
                      
                        The next was that the
                            "son of the sun" wanted a meeting with this
                            man from Earth:
                      
                      He himself lived in a
                          flat as most of the others - no need for a
                          palace with 100rooms. His flat where he lived
                          with his family, was almost identical to that
                          of Acorc. He also got to meet the family of
                          the "son on the sun" there. All had this
                          pallid (blek) colour on skin, almost white. He
                          had a son of ca 12, and a daughter of ca16,
                          but he felt no attraction to her, rather
                          opposite. But his wife he found more
                          attractive. He also got to eat with them, and
                          remarked that nobody talked while eating.
                      Then the "son on the sun"
                          told him to write a narrative of his visit
                          when he came back to earth, but also said that
                          nobody would belive him those first years, but
                          after some 20years, that would change he said
                          (now it is half a century - 50y- since this
                          occured). They told him that they would show
                          him much of their planet in the few days he
                          was to stay there, before being taken back to
                          earth.
                      After the visit to the
                          "son" he was showed the marvelous city from
                          the top of the roof, where they had landed
                          with this flying wagon for this visit.
                      One of the big
                          differences to Earth he remarked, was that it
                          was no noice there, only some hum from the
                          small ships.
                      All the walking for the
                          people happened on narrow (because of little
                          space) pedestals, but other transport happened
                          on subsurface/subways. He said that on this
                          planet they had 20billion on the same area as
                          on E had 4billions - 5times more than the
                          density on E. in -1958!! 
                       So a very
                          overpopulated planet.
                      Later on that day they
                          flew him very quick to see around the planet.
                          They flew to a farm, where he was shown
                          farming in terraces /steps, like those they
                          also some similar use in rice farming on Earth
                          in the east, but the vegetable they had "down
                          there" on Acart -that they flew over- 
                          were some similar to potatoes he was
                          told. 
                       The small hill that was
                          made up of these steps for this cultivating,
                          had steps of 20to100m wide. The
                          "agri-tractors" were not making any noise,
                          only low hum. He said it was driven by "solar
                          power" (supposedly electric.R.Ø.rem.)
                      The living houses were
                          then placed on hilly/rocky places, because
                          where it could/was possible to  produce
                          food, it had to be utilized.

                      Later they flew over
                          flocks of grassing buffalo-kinds of animals,
                          but these were twice as big, and only one
                          horn, of half a meter.
                      As Arthur had not flown
                          on E. it was an impressive thing to see all
                          this, also from above. They passed big
                          mountains, and when he later saw pictures of
                          highflying from earth, he recognized it. But
                          they also flew over a city, which looked to be
                          ON a mountain! Yes -it was built on just a
                          mountain, out of the need for space as said
                          before, and up there, they could not place a
                          farm! In this mountain were also the biggest
                          mines for solar-steel, so there was also a lot
                          of production going on in or around this
                          mountain city. "..when we flew over its
                            centre, its ends were lost from sight, and
                            it was built completely on top of rocky
                            mountains. There were hills like the "sugar
                            loaf" in Rio…"
                       
                      Then they landed in this
                          mountain-city and ate a meal there, while his
                          host seemed to be well known for those people.
                          He also then remarked that their custom was to
                          only pray before eating when in private, home,
                          and where many were gathered, they prayed
                          inside only instead, out of practical reasons.
                          Ned s.121
                      Then he was taken to an
                          enormous factory where the SOLAR STEEL was
                          treated. He telles it was 0,5x10km in
                          area!-and so looked like an airfield. "there
                          were thousands of similar ships there that
                          were flying, hovering and parking. I
                          asked:"why is it that they only arrive, and
                          almost none are leaving?" -because it is
                          almost the hour to begin work.
                      "But, who are those who
                          arrive in those ships? Are they all workers?"
                      "-yes, except for some
                          who live near by, all come by these ships.."
                      "Are you saying that all
                          who work here are rich, since one of those
                          ships must be very expensive?"
                      "-no, they do not cost.
                          And here being an Acartian citizen and a
                          worker, is enough to have a right to one.
                      "I don t understand". -

                      Then he says that he was
                          not able to understand the processes he saw in
                          that super-factory; "all what I saw in that
                          factory, could only be done if I were an
                          engineer, scientist, designer or other
                          expert." (but he tries to give some
                          descriptions, and those technical interested
                          -would have a good time to read all this many
                          details, about this automatic factory and its
                          production, in the ebook. In that factory they
                          also produced flying saucers, and he was given
                          an explanation on how they operate in the
                          atmosphere, and in space. There they also made
                          laserlike weapons, which made our weapons to
                          nothing, but they warned against the atombomb
                          - this was the time when the military arming
                          was very strong.
                      He also told him some of
                          how the system of "power" of the ships worked
                          - so this is inserted of a scanning from page

                        Visit to an
                            astronomic observatory with also defense
                            use/function.
                      
                      Then he was taken to atop
                          a mountain, where he saw a tube/funnel
                          reaching 200m up, and they landed there -but
                          it was terrible cold, and Arthur said he was
                          very tired at this time. By way of this
                          equipment, he was shown a view of Earth! But
                          those observatories had also the opportunity
                          to shot neutralizer-beams into space onto any
                          hostile incoming ship from eventually
                          aggressors. So these observatories were place
                          around the planet in a net - as
                          defense-system.
                       
                      
                        FOOD FROM FISH
                      
                      As they was so many, they
                          had to use the food-resources in fish, which
                          made up ca10% of the food supply. Artificial
                          rivers were made for irrigation, where they
                          also grew fish. They flew by this channels as
                          his host described it all.
                      Later they arrived
                          Acorc's home, where they said goodnigh, but
                          Arthur woke up early next day (remember the
                          nights was abnormal long, compared to what he
                          was used to). He went out to the terrace and
                          watched the bauti of the city in the
                          night-light, but it was very cold outside, but
                          he HAD to see this sight.
                      The next day, they flew
                          to a holyday-centre at the cost, where the
                          landed on the roof of a very long block
                          building along the cost, which reminded of the
                          Chinese Wall when they saw it from high - but
                          much bigger and 20km long, but it was a
                          continuous holiday-block along this coast. (ca
                          100m vidth, and 500m from the shore/sea). A
                          lot of crafts/ships arrived together with
                          them. On the other side of this long "wall"
                          was a city along it.
                      When the left their ship
                          open, Arthur had not yet habituated to the
                          (moneyfree) situation there, as he expressed
                          concern for leaving the craft "unlocked".
                          There they also ate in a "bar" where he says
                          he meant roomed perhaps 1000 tables!! There he
                          again remarked that nobody seemed to pay for
                          the food:

                            that calm, I commenced to reflect and I saw
                            in my mind an infinity of things that I was
                            still unable to explain satisfactorily.
                            Brusquely, I raised my body and remained
                            seated, resolving to ask Acorc to explain
                            some of these things that I did not
                            understand.
                      
                        
                            One of these was that, since I had come
                              to Akart, I still had not seen anybody
                              pullout money to pay for anything. We had
                              just eaten a meal with nearly 1,000 people
                              and nobody had paid anything.
                            With relation to us, I had some kind of
                            explanation, since we had that paper, which
                            could perhaps be a form of requisition by
                            the government; but... the rest?
                            To clear up this doubt I asked:
                            "What kind of money do you have here?"
                            He raised up and sat in the same
                            position as I, right in front of me and
                            said:
                          "Money? We
                              have no money here on Akart."
                         
                        
                            I almost fell on my back, stool and all.
                            "But how?! But how do they buy things,
                              and pay their employees?"
                            He gave a sigh and responded:
                            "Well, this is a very lengthy affair, but I
                            will try to explain to you. Akart was all
                            divided up into countries and each one had
                            their own type of government and money. That
                            being the case when they began to feel the
                            problems of overpopulation, those better off
                            commenced to acquire every palm of our land
                            and thus, those who had money obtained and
                            owned more space than they needed to live,
                            while those less favored by fortune were
                            banished to the streets. This resulted in
                            dishonesty, robberies, several wars, and all
                            the rest.
                        
                          Why?
                        
                        Always because of the
                            evils of money. The whole planet was an
                            inferno; a few survived and others in
                            greater number died of hunger, misery and
                            pains. Then when it seemed like all was
                            lost, there emerged the greatest scientist
                            of all times here on Akart."
                         
                        "And what did he
                              do?"
                            "He
                            discovered the means to take advantage of
                            the very energy of the Sun."
                            "What did that have to do with the money
                              situation?"
                            "Many things. Once discovered, he and
                            two more of his followers, invented the arms
                            which we still have."
                            "Was he rich or poor?"
                            "Very rich, but he spent all his
                            fortunes on investigations and experiments
                            which resulted in benefits for all."
                          "In what
                              manner?"
                         
                        
                            "In the following way: When he succeeded in
                            inventing the neutralizer (beam weapon), he
                            told nobody of his invention, but gave
                            adequate proof of what he could do with such
                            a weapon. He threatened all of the
                            countries, that if they could not find a
                            common denominator for their differences, he
                            would use the weapon. He presented a global
                            plan for the salvation of the planet. Then
                            all or almost all accepted and obeyed him.
                            His first step was to abolish all the
                            frontiers, making all of Akart only one
                            country; the second was to level all of the
                            cities to equal rights and obligations. To
                            obtain this, he had to get rid of the money,
                            and this automatically ended profits,
                            speculations, robbery, usury and many other
                            things, proceeding from money."
                          "Then he must
                              have been some kind of dictator?"
                         
                        
                            "No, he did not become directly the
                            Government, but nevertheless gave ideas to
                            others who then put them into practice."
                            "Certainly he depended on the support of
                              some strong country?"
                            "No. It is as I said. Ninety percent of
                            the population of Akart lived in oppression
                            and misery, and thus they understood his
                            ideas and supported him. The remaining ten
                            percent could do nothing, and finally, they
                            accepted also. And as the people helped to
                            install this regime, the sane people had the
                            right to select their governors. They
                            proposed that the scientist be selected, but
                            he would not accept, however he indicated
                            one son of his. That one was selected and
                            became the first Governor of all of Akart.
                            Since the scientist was called the man of
                            the Sun, thanks to his discoveries, his son
                            was called the Son of the Sun. From this
                            proceeded the tradition of calling our
                            president the 'Son of the Sun'."
                            "Ah! For that reason?"
                            "That is it."
                            "I thought it was a sacred name."
                            "No. It is not, as you can see."
                            "When and for how long is the governor of
                              Akart then selected?"
                            "Every three years (Akartian)." (= 5
                            Earth years and 6 Earth months.)
                        
                            "But how can you get along without money
                              to buy or sell the things? How do you do
                              it?"
                            "Here, nobody needs to buy or sell
                            anything. There is enough work (for those
                            who are apt) that they can have all that
                            they need or desire, without the
                            immoralities. Here, it is a crime for anyone
                            to refuse to work. We came to the
                                conclusion, that money is the work of
                                the evil doings. Without it many evils
                                are avoided."
                            "Are they obligated to work until after
                              they are old?"
                            "No. The people work so many hours per
                            day or night and for the hours that are
                            left, they can go where they like, eat or
                            drink in any public place, without
                            extravagances, and do as they please. In
                            every year there is a period of rest; then
                            they can travel throughout all of Akart --
                            and see and do what they please, traveling
                            by whatever means they prefer. For this
                            there is enough available, which is
                            furnished by the Government. And they have
                            more: What one citizen has, they all have,
                            because here all that is produced obeys a
                            global plan; such as homes, the ships,
                            dress, alimentation, etc."
                        
                            "Up to what age do they have to work?
                            "It is like this: Until 11 years
                            (Akartian) they have to study; from there
                            forward they are going to work in a
                            profession which was approved by the
                            schools; They work until 36 years (Akartian)
                            and after that retire. Then, they can stay
                            in one place the rest of their life, or
                            travel wherever they want, live in one fixed
                            place or live in a hotel, or various hotels,
                            as they choose. They have all the assistance
                            and attention they require for the rest of
                            their life."
                            "Is this law also for women?"
                            "Well, the women also study up till 11
                            years; and after that then they may marry
                            and care for a home, or if they do not want
                            to do that, they are obligated to work
                            according to their profession." ...
                            (Note: When they go on interplanetary
                            voyages, their laws stipulate that it is a
                            crime to bring back terrestrials on the
                            planet they visit, back to Akart. The
                            commander of the ship that brought the
                            earthman, Artur, to Akart, he was demoted in
                            rank to an operator.)
                          "I don’t
                              understand how the commander of an
                              interplanetary ship, of such high
                              position, could pass to become an
                              operator, because of an unfortunate such
                              as I? "
                         
                        
                            "Yes,
                            because our laws concerning the terrestrials
                            is as follows: We must not touch nor kill,
                            still less bring one from another planet
                            back to Akart, as it your case. Here the
                            laws are made by man, and those that disobey
                            must pay for their disobedience. "
                            "I thought that a functionary of such
                              high position would have some rights."
                            "No! Here we have neither highs nor
                            lows. All are as equals, even the Son of the
                            Sun (their governor). When he finishes his
                            days as governor, for which he was selected
                            by all the people, he will return to the
                            plow the fields, if that is from where he
                            had come. "
                            
                            "What are these mines of solar steel? "
                            
                            "Solar steel is a special steel whose
                            utility, I believe, still has not been
                            discovered on Earth. It is of that which we
                            make our solar ships, like that in which you
                            traveled with me, and other things as well.
                            It has many other uses." ...
                      
                        He was again told of
                            their problem of overpopulation, and how it
                            could be nessessary to move out part of
                            their population to earth - after an
                            evt.atom/nuclear-war had wiped out much of
                            the earthmen, and they had the means to
                            clean up the environment rather quickly with
                            their advanced technology. They seem to have

                            also the Korundors talked about. And yes-
                            they then meant that an atomic war was
                            unavoidable in -58. (but seem to be out of
                            insight into the watching of our earth from
                            MUCH more advanced races, which make up a
                            kind of "guardian angels" for our planet

                        ***
                        LATER:
                        The Akart ETs spoke
                            very briefly in the 1950s about the then
                            three
                            factions. Today, there are four factions.
                            Until the 1950s prior, there were two rival
                            factions. Emerging
                            later was a third faction, but the third was
                            still sketchy.
                            The Akart ETs have been silent for many
                            years now. They are still
                            monitoring the planet Earth. They believe
                            that we waste too much
                            time fighting, and should have been at peace
                            long ago.
                         
                        THEY WILL COME AFTER
                            OUR ATOMIC WAR TO BRING ORDER
                            "We are not exactly unaware that there on
                            your Earth, there exist two or more factions
                            which are in conflict, and all possess
                            atomic bombs, with high destructive power,
                            and they continue to make more all the time,
                            and of greater scale. If instead of using
                            the nuclear energy for destructive
                            ends and they used it constructively, our
                            hopes would be nullified."
                            "What hopes?"
                        
                            "To inhabit the Earth."
                            "Are you saying that you intend to invade
                            the Earth?"
                            "Yes, but as I have already said, not on
                            those terms. Let me explain in what manner.
                            You must be aware that an atomic war on
                            Earth is inevitable, and, even if we wanted
                            to instigate it, we could, since it 
                            would only be necessary to intercept an
                            airplane or ship of either faction, that the
                            one would judge that it was the other. But,
                            we are not  going to intervene in any
                            such manner, because we have come to the
                            conclusion that they would not resist for
                            much time the curiosity to see
                            the foul-up that caused the situation, and,
                            when this happens, none of  them will
                            escape the devastation, because with only a
                            few of those bombs, the whole terrestrial
                            globe will be contaminated. Once this
                            happens, we can peacefully take over the
                            whole planet, because those few
                            who remain will be in no position to offer
                            resistance; on the contrary, they will
                            welcome us."
                        
                            "But what future is there when the
                              terrestrial globe contaminated by
                              destruction and radioactive poison?"
                            "Whether it is contaminated constitutes
                            no problem for us."
                        
                            "Why not?
                            "Because, here we have an apparatus
                            which neutralizes the malefic effects of
                            radioactive poison, transforming it into
                            fertilizer for the soil and other things."
                        
                            "If such a war happened, how much time
                              would you wait before going into action?"
                        
                            "We would go into action as soon as the
                            war ended, because it would cost us to wait,
                            as the vegetation would all die in the zones
                            of conflagration."
                        
                            "And if there was a victor who had not
                              suffered either human or material
                              destruction?" 
                        
                            "There is no victor in such a war. They
                            would attack each other mutually; we are
                            certain of this, because we know all the
                            secrets of the terrestrials, against which
                            they know practically nothing concerning
                            us."
                        
                            "But if I tell them what is here, and
                              what I have seen and heard on Akart?"
                        
                            "Not tomorrow, I give you all the reason
                            when I say that nobody is going to want to
                            believe you."
                        
                            "What suddenly interests me is that which
                            awakened the Son of the Sun and the Council,
                            when from one moment to the next, after
                            finding danger in my return to Earth, he
                            asked me to make a written account of all
                            that I saw, heard and felt here, and to try
                            to divulge it? Perhaps it was to test my
                            loyalty?"
                        
                            "I can tell you that it was not for that; we
                            are interested in a large part of the
                            terrestrials having knowledge of some
                            possible narrative of yours in this respect,
                            and, as is to be hoped, nobody is going to
                            believe it at this time."
                        
                            "Why not at this time?"
                            "Because they are only going to believe
                            when some of these facts have been
                            confirmed."
                        
                          "How will this
                              benefit them and when?"
                         
                        
                            "When they
                            come out of the war and we appear on the
                            Earth. The few who survive, due to your
                            knowledgeable aid, will know something of
                            our system of government, our manner of life
                            and being, and thus will not
                            offer us resistance, which would be useless
                            to try."
                        
                            (NOTE: The Akartians maintain a base here on
                            Earth for some centuries now. And ever so
                            often they rotate their staff there. They
                            have built a huge space platform several
                            miles in diameter some distance away from
                            their home planet. This station they use as
                            a stop over point, to station thousands of
                            space ships, etc. Their spaceships travel
                            over 311 miles per second or over 18,660
                            miles per minute. This group has anti-matter
                            beam weapons. 
                        Earth terrestrials will
                            not have anti-matter beam weapons
                            until about the year 2990 A.D. and it is
                            this weapon they will use to vaporize the
                            planet Mars from the Sol System in a brutal
                            interplanetary war.
                        
                            It will be the last war the earthman fight,
                            before he realizes peace is the only way.)
                        
                            "I would like to broaden the question on
                              one point: Are you saying that you are
                              going to come as owners of the house, and
                              not as rangers, 
                        "Well, I have already
                            said that we are not going to do anything
                            bad to anybody. Now, once you have done the
                            mischief by your hands, nothing is more
                            logical than that we benefit you. We
                            Akartians, by force of circumstances, have
                            learned to be realists. This question is
                            comparable with a fable that my father
                            always told when I was a boy, which is as
                            follows:
                        
                            "A man who had innumerable cages thought it
                            well to place birds in almost all of them.
                            He had two hanging one beside the other. In
                            these two cages the birds were multiplying;
                            one came to the point where there was no
                            more room for more, but they lived well
                            adjusted and were each
                            contented with a place to sit. Thus all
                            those that the man allowed to hatch, also
                            were given the means to live.
                        Contrary to the first,
                            the second, had plenty of space, however
                            they commenced to quarrel; each one
                            wanted the better place; the stronger lived
                            comfortably and the weak had to get used to
                            the corners and be satisfied with the
                            crumbs. The roost there was left to the
                            strong. Each one wanted to be better and to
                            control. Finally a struggle broke out, so
                            fierce that they mutually destroyed each
                            other, and with them also most of the weak
                            ones, who had
                            nothing to do with this. 
                        The man, on seeing
                            this, gave access to those
                            of the other cage of which he moved half to
                            the first. These went there and
                            reconstructed the broken nests,
                            resuscitating some of those who had
                            escaped with their lives, and thus they were
                            able to live in peace for many years,
                            without worrying about the problem of space,
                            as much in one cage as the other."
                        
                            "I understand the moral, unhappily for us
                              terrestrials, perhaps this same thing is
                              going to come to pass. It is somewhat
                              similar to Earth and Akart." I said with
                              my head down.
                        
                            After some minutes of silence between
                            us, I asked:
                          "Do you, sir,
                              not feel that you have erred in showing
                              and explaining to me, all this with
                              respect to your arms and means of
                              locomotion? Since once I return to Earth,
                              if I am given the time to do this in the
                              manner
                              in which you have explained all, I think
                              the government would give me the necessary
                              means, and I have the impression that I
                              could come to a
                              conclusion."
                         
                        
                            He
                            swallowed dryly and leaned back to respond;
                            and then between reprimanding and fear, he
                            said:
                            "Well, in the first place, I believe you are
                            not even thinking of doing this; and second,
                            the terrestrials at the moment do not have
                            materials to this end at their disposal.
                            But, please, do not speak to me of similar
                            things anymore, because if anyone here
                            suspected what we are doing, perhaps you
                            would have to live here on Akart the rest of
                            your days of life.
                         I cannot say
                            anything more, because I cannot judge their
                            capabilities, neither in one thing or
                            another."
                        
                            Only then was it that I saw where I had put
                            myself with my foolish suppositions, and I
                            responded:
                            "But it is not that I judge myself
                              capable of this. It is scarcely a
                              supposition."
                            "This I know, but you are not going to
                            want to nuke these suppositions known to the
                            Son of the Sun and the Council!"
                        
                            Saying this, he stopped talking, and
                            remained with the fingers of his hands
                            interlaced, pensive.
                        End of this
                              quotation.
                         
                      
                          The criminals there
                        
                      At one time he came to
                          see a seemingly "poor" man there – who seemed
                          to have fallen outside. His clothes was
                          unusual compared to the others, and seemed to
                          be dirty also. And they described to him that
                          he was a criminal. But as they had no prisons,
                          those went around free, but had to beg for the
                          living, as they had no longer any access to
                          the advantages the society gave the rest. All
                          got their sentence from what they had done.
                          Those could not enter any public establishment
                          to obtain what they needed. The "prisoners"
                          was marked with a medallion to wear around the
                          neck, and could not be taken off until the
                          penalty had been through. They could neither
                          travel by any of the public transports when
                          they went on this "prison" – only to walk
                          around, begging for food. Some sat out food
                          for them, like to wild animals, and it was
                          indeed humiliation. Those married of these,
                          could get some help from their wives or
                          children – evt. parents.
                       
                      
                          SUBWAYS
                        
                        Below their cities
                            there, ran parallel automatic subways, which
                            ran at different speeds. When they reached
                            the end station they went back - all
                            operated automatic, and the passengers could
                            make it stop at the station they wished. It
                            all operated on electric power.
                        On his last day on that
                            planet he was also taken to a sport-like
                            arrangement, where two teams fought a
                            pushing competition, never seen like on
                            earth. But they also had a footballike
                            competition. It is to remark that this
                            sportfield had artificial grass, something
                            that the was not yet made here on our Earth
                            at that time in -58.
                        After the sports-visit,
                            and a farewell -greeting to the "son",he was
                            taken back to the family of Acorc, and said
                            goodbye in a short manner to them.
                        He was also told the
                            problems they still had regarding
                            space-travel, and was told it was best to
                            stay unconscious under part of this trip
                            when he, and his body, was not yet used to
                            it. We must remember that this race was in
                            the first steps regarding interplanetary
                            trips. Their depart from the planet Acart
                            was also made in the same place that he had
                            arrived some days before -in the city of
                            "Con". It was a special kind of "airport".
                        He slept on the part of
                            the trip to their "space-station"- some
                            50.000 km out in space, so it was not much
                            time used to reach it either. This was an
                            enormous platform in space. Almost a city
                            there, but only houses like "iglos", and all
                            out had to wear special suits.

                        On the returntrip he
                            was also showed around the ship, which had 3
                            levels. The first and 3d - had less rooms
                            than the 2nd. The lower had small
                            ships, and some kind of solar weapons also.
                            The middle - by which they reached by an
                            elevator- had laboratories, rooms and
                            corridors. "in the various compartments we
                            entered, we always found humans seated in
                            front of super-complicated apparatus,
                            covered with instruments of all types.
                        The "motorroom" where
                            they created the propulsive force was ca
                            5x5m, and in the middle of it were 6motors,
                            about the size of a barrel of gasoline,
                            arranged in 2 rows or3- one above the other.
                            He was told that these captured and
                            transmitted the solar energy moving the
                            ship. Only 2 worked at the time, the rest
                            for reserve, in case of malfunction of the
                            others: "all made of matter is possible to
                            malfunction…" he was told. The ship had
                            other motors used in the atmosphere. He was
                            told the ship had a normal crew of
                            32persons.
                        After many days in
                            space, the ship came to earth, but first
                            they landed in a icy place he was told was
                            on the pole, and he drew the conclusion to
                            be the south. From then on, only short time
                            till they let him out some kilometers from
                            his house, to where he used long time
                            walking, because he felt so heavy being back
                            on earth. After some "confused" days inside
                            his house, he began writing down all this he
                            had experienced, and what is then reported
                            here.
                        But they went on with
                            some further contacts with Arthur after this
                            also. But as he got terrible trouble locally
                            when he told of this first experience, he
                            just reported those later to the
                            investigators of the case..

                          THE MARIO RESTIER
                              CASE
                        
                        This is one of the
                            earliest cases of being taken to another
                            planet, and happened 4dec-49- also in Rio in
                            Brasilia,  but the case was not
                                published until-68.  In this
                            case he was away for 4months! When the
                            interview happened, Mario Restier, 40, lived
                            in Volta Redona with wife + 3 children, and
                            had worked at a steel plant for 15 years.
                            The trip had happend when he was 17.
                        On 4dec -49, he was on
                            the way to his father when he noticed a
                            strange discshaped craft. It came low above
                            some trees without any sound at all, and
                            landed 15m from the road. He was then talked
                            to from the ship, on Portuguese, not to be
                            afraid. He went onboard, in spite of being
                            afraid. Inside he saw two persons of his own
                            size, in peculiar clothes. He asked them if
                            they belived in god, and got the ansver that
                            god "is one only". This made him more safe.
                            He was shown around the ship, and told to
                            stay in a special room, where a liquid was
                            that they said was necessary to be through
                            the accelerations. He later found the ship
                            to be 15 m in diameter. Then he fell asleep.
                            When he awoke, he saw gigantic transparent
                            domes, kilometres in extent, covering the
                            whole city in such a way, that where one
                            ended, another began, and they were
                            connected. He got some "fruits" in a room
                            where he was taken, reminding of tropical
                            fruits, which they said was an highly
                            purified food, with no need for wc-visits
                            later.
                        Those people said they
                            lived ca 300 years pr incarnation. Their
                            eyes were blue or green, and the mouth
                            small. He noticed no hair on their skin. He
                            saw also women and children there. But the
                            craftmen on the return ship made him think
                            more of robots than of people.
                        He was shown
                            diff.factories, when he asked to be brought
                            home. So he was, but when he came
                                back he was very amazed that he had been
                                away for 4months!! His father
                            was very angry when he came back, because he
                            had just disappeared without saying where.
