SUBJECT: NEWS FROM COLOMBIA FILE: UFO2683 Date: 01-01-92 2:45 From: Jorge Rey Subj: News from Colombia I met with Mr. German Marino on Sunday afternoon [12/29/91] to speak about the Colombian peasant who claims to have been abducted by ETs this past April. Mr. Marino, who is a sociologist, had the opportunity to meet Mr. Luis Roberto RodrĄguez on August 24, 1991. That was the day when the peasant made public his experience with ETs and read one message addressed to President Bush and another to the Cardinal of Colombia. RodrĄguez said that those messages had to be delivered in person but since he was not able to achieve it, ETs told him he should make them public no later than August 24th. The meeting was held in a rural town named Pacho. It is located at one and a half hours drive north of Bogota [Colombia's Capital City.] There were about 3,000 people when the peasant made his speech. Most of them were from other places of Colombia. Mr. Marino also learned that at least there were two journalists from abroad, one from France and the other from Spain. RodrĄguez is a 37-year-old, light brown complexion, black eyes, 5 feet 5 inches, stocky build Colombian man, who looked very healthy and radiant. He is literate and attended up to 4th grade of elementary school. He explained that ETs picked him up because he was found in a place which has a beneficial environment for them to make contact. He added that anybody else could have been picked up, should he or she have been there at that time. The peasant described the ship that transported him to what he thought was the moon, as "a small bottle." He also said he was alert and aware for most of the time he spent in the alien world. He added that he was left alone for a while in a lighted place but he could not see the source of the light. When this happened, Mr. RodrĄguez said that he was able to see himself as he was, to become cognizant of how he thought and acted. He said he became ashamed of himself but he did not explain why. He was then taken to a larger room with a long table. There he saw many beings that were not exactly human. He described them as having different sizes and heights. However he was most impressed by the way they related with each other. He said there was peace and happiness among those beings and he has never seen that on earth. He added that it was hard for him to describe it with words. Another detail is related to Mr. RodrĄguez's health. Prior to his abduction he suffered from kidney stones and his doctor told him he needed an operation. When he came back his kidneys were clear. Furthermore, he was implanted with a device in his right scapula. The peasant explained the ETs operated twice on his body. The first operation was to remove the stones from his kidneys and to better his health. The second was to implant a device which was to be used to facilitate ETs communications with him. Mr. RodrĄguez was examined by doctors in the city of MedellĄn [Colombia.] They found him physically healthy and apparently they have also detected something strange in his back. The peasant insists that ETs have a plan scheduled by dates. He added that he will release new messages in the future. He also said that he receives the messages telepathically. He left copies of them in the local Municipality. To get in contact with this place you can write to: AlcaldĄa Municipal de Pacho Pacho, Cundinamarca Colombia NOTE: I spent near three hours talking with Mr. Marino. He only speaks Spanish. I had the impression he was telling the truth but what he told me is the best of his recollection of what he heard the peasant saying. He said he will write to his friends in Colombia requesting printed material on this subject. I'll keep you posted. ********************************************** * THE U.F.O.
