Ummo

Ummo is a blanket term to describe a series of decades-long claims that aliens from the planet Ummo were communicating with persons on the earth. Most Ummo information was in the form of many detailed documents and letters sent to various esoteric groups or UFO enthusiasts. The Ummo affair was subject to much mainstream attention in France and Spain during the 1960's and 1970's.

General consensus is that the entire affair was an elaborate hoax; a Jose Luis Jordan Pena has claimed responsibility for instigating the Ummo affair. [1]

However, some contend there is at least a measure truth in the matter (such as "a strange Bolivian cult called the Daughters of Ummo" [2]).

History

During the 1970s, some mysterious letters were received by different members of a slightly esoteric Spanish association. The authors--or "Ummites" as they called themselves--claimed to come from another planet, called "Ummo". They relate their story and claim to have landed on Earth in March 1950 in the French département of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, in the area of Digne-les-Bains, in southern France. Reports mention three spacecraft with some explorers coming from their planet. They describe how they found our planet, their arrival on Earth, analysis of ours habits, their language, and a lot of scientific descriptions.

The authors claimed to have conducted secret studies of humans that were similar to later reports of alien abduction.

The first known letters were received by Fernando Sesma in 1966, the leader of a slightly esoteric association in Madrid. Other recipients since that year, have also received some reports in several countries up to the present day. Among them is a French scientist, Jean-Pierre Petit, who researches at the CNRS.

In June 2003, a scientist with the pseudonym Jean Pollion released, in French, his book Ummo, de vrais extraterrestres, or, Ummo, real extraterrestrials in which he analyses the "Ummite" thoughts and language. Currently, more than 1300 pages of those letters have been registered, but it is possible that many other letters exist. In a 1988 letter, reference is made to the existence of 3850 pages, copies of which having been sent to several individuals, represent the equivalent of 160,000 pages.

The true identity of the authors of those reports remains unknown.

The documents' contents

The first letters relate to the arrival on Earth in 1950 of a small group of scientist-explorers having the aim of studying our biosphere, atmosphere but also our culture. They explain how they discovered the Earth by chance, thanks to a Morse radio message sent by a Norwegian ship 15 years ago and describe scientific data from their planetary system, such as gravity, orbit, revolution period, sizes, information about their star etc.

They also explain that they are really amazed, seeing our multi-cultural society, and also the social disorder which manages our planet. They tell us their motivations for their coming and also why they are writing these reports. They explain their civilization is older than ours with advanced technology, and they will not disturb our social evolution.

About fifteen letters describe living conditions on their planet, with many pictures, they give society the term "social network" and explain that it is and enormous and dynamic network, where each person is a knot, and each relationship between people is a dynamic arc. In this way they describe their daily life, their housing, how they use smells to make perfumes which is very important for them, their supply network, their cooking and food, work, games, family, their mode of transport, sex within the Ummo couple, their education system, psychology, marriage, arts, "the concept of God", their history, different governmental steps they have known, and the discovery of other planet having life.

Philosophy and "the concept of God" are omnipresent, several letters entirely describe both these subjects, but also morals, ethics, human being's free will, man's role in the universe, the end of existence, the soul, the collective unconscious (or collective soul). In several letters they give their point of view on our society and address some of our problems like, abortion, the oppression of women by men, but also deficiencies in our educational and political systems.

Many complicated scientific subjects are described in detail, especially network theory (or graph theory), space concepts (such as astrophysics or cosmology) with explanations about the space curve, the ten-dimensional cosmos, anti-cosmos, twin-cosmos, the unified field theory (the IBOZOO UU. true structure of physical space, mass, subatomic particles and gravitation), biology, evolution theory and cosmos bio-genetic bases, and also time concepts and his role in the universe.

Other more specific scientific subjects are described, as space travel technology (spacecraft), electrophotography, Ummo's computers and their network, or also altimeter and gravimeter.

Hypotheses and Proposed Explanations

Several hypotheses about the real authors have been offered:

• It's been proposed that the Ummo affair is genuinely what it claims: Communication from extraterrestrials. This has found little support.

• Some people think a secret service, such as the KGB or CIA, may be responsible, but their motivations and aims are unknown.

• Others suspect one or several sects, but the Ummo authors do not, in any letters, at any time, suggest that their beliefs become the foundation of any "rite", or worship. Nowhere in those documents can you find an incitement to such activities.

• The main hypothesis, however, seems to be that the entire affair is an elaborate hoax, perhaps perpretrated by a student group composed of scientists and philosophers might be the real authors. As noted above, a Jose Luis Jordan Pena claimed in 1992 that he had instigated the Ummo affair.

• Much accurate scientific knowledge has been given in many Ummo letters letters, some of which was unknown or very specialized at the time the Ummo letters were published, which could perhaps lead to the real authors. For example:
  • red shift variation (shift towards the red segment of the E.M. spectrum according to the speed and direction of the object in relation to the observer) is not constant but is a non-sinusoidal periodic function.
  • Discovery of 86 pairs of krypton atoms at the "end" of DNA strands in all living beings.
  • Abrupt temperature variations in the center of toroidal nebulae (from -270°C to -273,14°C) and that the plane of polarization of the spectrum line D emitted by sodium is polarized by an angle of 0.8 radians (without another polarization for another wavelength).
  • Frequency of the activation impulse of nerve centres located in the coroidal ventro-lateral plexus of 10368 Hz.
  • Discovery on Mars of simple unicellular and pluricellular plant-cell based organisms.
  • The water contained in the cytoplasm and the cell nucleus can "memorise" electromagnetic radiation corresponding to a wavelength of 21,106 cm. (Approx. 1,421 MHz)
