BAD PHONE

It's Bad World Anonymous: "My name is Adrian Dvir and I am one of the 'contact people.'"

Poor Adrian. In 1994 "the Aliens built a clinic in my apartment and together we treated sick people. I used my daily contact with the Aliens medical team and others to learn about them as much as I could. I practically conducted a private research about the Aliens." There are evidently over a hundred such clinics on the planet, 22 in Adrian's home country of Israel. The aliens use these makeshift clinics to examine human physiology, apparently in pursuit of cures for Earth disease. Adrian knows that "the Aliens council purpose is to add earth as a member in their organization."

But track back through Adrian's website, based upon his 1999 book (published only in Hebrew at this stage). We find: "Aliens contact channels went dead as a result of space bad weather. October 1998." I do find that quite charming. Bad space weather.

And then, March 7 1999: "Around 19:00 my mobile phone rang. I heard strange noises and hung up. After 5 minutes the phone rang again. I heard strange noises and someone was whispering my name. I hung up. This incident was repeated several times. At one point a faint metallic voice barely heard identifying himselfe as an alien that successfully conneced to my personal mobile phone. The caller sounded excited and told a story about how his planet has been invaded."

The alien told Adrian all about his world -- Aotip, in the Andromeda Galaxy -- its ecological disaster, their move to the planet Arcturus, its invasion and their attempt to find somewhere new to live. "They built a hyper gate that shortens the travel time from Aiotip to Arcturus from several millions years to only 1 year." Which is a bit of luck, really.

"The Klindcontlar planet is similar to earth and full with vegetable. The air is composed of four types of gases. One for oxidizing second is like water. He probably meant vapor. The third is a germicide like and was artificial made. The last gas is for briefing."

"The Klindcontlar don't eat animals like humans do. Forth said that unlike humans they are not cannibals. They main food is a special nourishment produced by nano-technology from materials they dig up in the planet ground. Forth said humans would dislike this food. I understand their food is a type of factory made from earth minerals. It's like producing sugar out of carbon and water in a factory. Because of this they never have food shortage. In addition they eat some vegetables."

"Years ago I painted Strange paintings," says Adrian.
