The Andreasson Affair (17 page)

Betty watched as the other entity seemed to be reaching for something.

Betty:
He's finishing up something. Oh, and he's grabbing a ball of—a white ball. There are two white balls there. I didn't see them before, but he's grabbing them. He's got two balls in his hand, one bigger than the other.

The other entity had taken the white glowing spheres from two cylindrical pedestals. He carried one in each hand as he took up the familiar position directly behind Betty.

Betty:
And he's in back of us now, ‘cause we're moving on. That door goes whooshing up. We're just moving on—I just keep on moving, through that same place, I guess, where we were before ‘cause I think I see like that elevator we were on before—that tube, whatever it was.

Betty recognized the elevator tube through which she had floated down from the upper room shortly after she had been taken aboard the UFO. (See
Figure 36
on
page 126
.)

Betty:
And then we're up to that door, and we're—it's whooshing open!… And we're back in that room. I see the hatch there.

And on the floor—on the floor it's up, and it's got a huge spring underneath it. A huge spring with four other springs.

This hatch, or rectangular enclosure, had previously protruded downward out of the wall into the floor. Now it had been telescoped into the wall, revealing what appeared to be an opening in the floor.

“These huge springs you mentioned,” Jules Vaillancourt later said during debriefing, “do you think you could get that on paper?”

Betty:
Yeah, I'll try and get those. They were a silver-white.

Jules:
Like a coil type of spring?

Betty:
A coil-type of spring, silver-white—like aluminum. [See
Figure 37

page 126

The trio had glided to a halt. Betty glanced around her. Nothing seemed to be happening.

Betty:
We're just standing there. I don't know why. “What are we waiting for!” They said Quazgaa would like to speak to me.…

Betty and her two alien companions stood silently waiting. Thoughts of home and family briefly surfaced, then slipped away. The aura of friendliness emanating from her captors caused Betty to remain relatively calm. Only the most trying circumstances had caused her emotions to override their strange, hypnotic-like influence over her. At such times, a waving or laying on of hands by the aliens restored her calmness and eased discomfort. Now a door flashed open, and Quazgaa entered the room.

Betty:
We're just standing and waiting and that door opens! And Quazgaa's in that silver suit. He comes over to me.

The little man looked up at Betty, reached upward, and placed his gloved hands on Betty's shoulders. His large mongoloid-like eyes gazed deeply into her own.

Betty:
He's putting both hands on my shoulders and is looking at me. And he says, “Child, you must forget for a while.” He's telling me things.

As Quazgaa gazed at Betty, his head seemed to become fuzzy. It seemed as if she were looking at him but also
by
him. One of his eyes glowed white, but the other eye had a black eyeball. Two deep dark furrows above his eyes became very pronounced.

Betty:
Quazgaa is looking at me with one white eye and one black eye. And this time, he looks just like a bee, with—somehow he's got two things, that come out like a bee on their head. Two, uh—not antlers; what are they, feelers or something? It's like I'm seeing past his head and I'm seeing him and he's like a bee, like a giant bee head with big eyes [
Sigh
].

Betty elaborated on this later, during debriefing.

Betty:
He looked like a bee's face to me because his eyes got—you know, how a bee's eyes get the whole of the face almost? And it comes down very narrow.…

Jules:
Can you get that on paper?

Betty:
I'm going to try—looked like feelers, you know, in the front.

Jules:
Under the pear shape or on the outer surface?

Betty:
Well, the eyes got huge like a bee's eye, like, you know, they were huge. Maybe it was because the skin might have been crinkled up and there was a
crease
that looked like feelers, like a bee. [See
Figure 38
.]

Ray:
Did you feel dizzy or strange when he was looking at you in the eyes? He had his hands on your shoulders and was looking at you like this. As you were looking at him, did this sort of just change, like this?

Betty:
Yeah, it changed, right. It seemed as if he were going deeper inside of me—my mind.

Then Quazgaa began to speak telepathically. It would be his farewell message to Betty. He would not be leaving the ship with her.

Betty:
He says he's going to give me formulas. And he says until man finds those and understands those, he will not give any others.

Betty repeated Quazgaa's message to her.

Betty:
He says my race won't believe me until much time has passed—
our
time.… They love the human race. They have come to help the human race. And, unless man will accept, he will not be saved, he will not live.… All things have been planned. Love is the greatest of all. They do not want to hurt anybody—but because of great love, they said: because of great love, they cannot let man continue in the footsteps that he is going.… It is better to lose some than to lose all.… They have technology that man could use.… It is through the spirit, but man will not search out that portion.

"Quazgaa appeared like a bee.' June 26
.

Betty began alternately pausing and then repeating Quazgaa's words. It was as if she had somehow been transferred back in time and was listening again to his enigmatical discourse.

Betty:
Man must understand many of the natural things on earth.… If man will just study nature itself, he will find many of the answers that he seeks.… Within fire are many answers, within ashes—within the highest of the high and the lowest of the low are many answers.… Man will find them through the spirit. Man is not made of just flesh and blood.… It would be easy to hand them to us, but that would show that we are not worthy to receive those.… The knowledge is sought out through the spirit, and those that are worthy are given.… Those that are pure of heart, that seek with earnestness will be given.… Energy is 'round about man that he does not know of. It is the simplest form of energy. It is within the atmosphere—this atmosphere.… It has all been provided for him.… Many riddles will be given.…
Those that are wise will understand.… Those that seek will find.… They must remain hidden in this way because of the corruption—the corruption that is upon the earth.… If they are revealed outright, man would use it. [
Sigh
] He keeps telling me of different things, of what is going to take place, what is going to happen—they are going to come to the earth.… Man is going to fear because of it.… Many are going to be astonished.… Yet many are not going to be afraid because they have overcome fear.

Betty continued to interpret and repeat the mental impressions that the staring entity was transmitting to her mind. (We wondered about its literal accuracy in light of the earlier misinterpreted “burned meat” incident.) Then Quazgaa closed his dissertation with a startling statement.

Betty:
He says that he has had others here.… Many others have locked within their minds, secrets.… He is locking within my mind certain secrets [
Sigh
].… They will be revealed when the time is right.… Again, he's putting both hands up on my shoulders. And he's saying, “Go, child, now, and rest.”

Quazgaa then took Betty into the small anteroom that she had entered originally from outside the ship.

Betty:
And he's—going through another room. It's raised up, and it's going over to where I was to begin with. Some kind of an up-thing. It is an opening.… And that's—we're up at that place where I first came in. And the door is opening.…

During debriefing, Jules asked her to go into detail about leaving the craft.

Betty:
Okay, after that cylinder (the half-cylinder room)—after that purple pink light, we went through the door again and into that same area where there's that big round elevator.… We went past that again into that room where the dressing room was, over to the side, where that hatch was. And the hatch—this time—was sprung up and there was a huge, huge spring in the center—a real huge spring. And there were four springs on the sides of it.
