"Come quickly!", called Billy in the kitchen [see map, No. 9]. With such a call one must not deliberate long. Everyone lying down or standing up left -- Maria and I ran behind the house [on the north side] where the UFO noticed by Billy showed up over the crowns of the trees. Very slowly and completely silent, it flew from the southeast to the north. Brightly radiant in silvery-white color in the blue night sky, it was clearly seen. Aroona, who at this very moment ran to us, came unexpectedly -- as most of the time -- her first UFO sighting. But today not only celebrated a first for her, because for Freddy, Maria and me it was the first time that we saw a UFO in the daytime. Even that afternoon I had told two students, who visited the Center and studied the photo albums, that I had seen two UFOs, but that this had been at night. Not in the remotest would I have thought that this could so quickly change.

Freddy would have liked to take pictures of the event, but as it sometimes is -- classically, the film in the camera was used up and no fresh film was on hand. Nevertheless he fetched his camera, because he was hoping to see something more through the lens than we could see by eye, which unfortunately was not the case. So we tried in vain to identify somewhat more clearly the type of vessel, but this unfortunately was not possible due to the large distance and the dazzling effect of the object's bright radiance. Billy at first suspected that it had not been any Plejaren. But meanwhile it was explained [to Billy] by Ptaah that it was Tauron, a Plejaren, who had made a sighting visit for us. It's apparently fun for him to appear here and there at times. In addition, I was told that it had been possible only from our location, in the Center, to see the ship because it was shielded against widespread view. Also, if the questions: "Who was that -- What do they want?" have answers, they very much remain open, and the experience leaves a strange mixture of moods between joy, longing and sadness. But nevertheless, with each individual "UFO" experience or each beamship sighting of the Plejarens, the strength grows to defy the invective and defamation that are spread around the world about us.
