Free The Andreasson Affair by Raymond E. Fowler, J. Allen Hynek Page B

there any foliage in the red portion?
    Betty: Nothing.
    Joseph: You were like in a red cloud?
    Betty: No, it was—uh, there was land and there were buildings, but there was no vegetable life. Just land, and buildings.…
    Evidently, the scene was distant and none too distinct:
    Betty: All you can do is make out the forms of things. And now we are passing—oh, boy, we are coming to where there’s some beings!
    Betty gaped in horror at what she saw crawling on the buildings. (See Figure 29 .)
    Betty: And these beings are—got two eyeballs…and there are loads of them. Oh, they’re scary! And they’ve skinny arms and legs and kind of a full body. And their eyes can move every which way, and they can climb just like monkeys. They can climb up quickly and swiftly and down and around and in and out of windows. They are all over the place!
    The weird creatures were headless. They had two large eyes located on the tips of stalks that emanated from the top of their bodies, and the stalks moved independently of each other.

    Betty became very agitated as they passed by the frightful animals. “Who are these? Who are these?” she cried. The entities wouldn’t tell her.
    Betty: But they are all around us, everywhere! They are all around and they keep looking at us.
    â€œWas there animosity between the beings and these lemur [monkey] types?” Dr. Edelstein later asked her.
    Betty: The beings just had the hoods over them.
    The creatures’ huge eyes gawked at Betty and her companions as they glided by. When they passed by without mishap, Betty breathed a sigh of relief.
    â€œWas there anything else in the red place?” Dr. Edelstein later asked.
    Betty: Just the buildings and those beings.
    The track swept them forward.
    Betty: We are in this red place. We are still going on this—I don’t
    know if it’s an escalator or what. It just seems like we are going along—further and further on…and we’re coming to…
    The threesome approached a circular membrane and passed through it without resistance into a place with a
green
atmosphere. (See Figure 30 .)
    Later, Joseph Santangelo asked her, “When did it change to green? I mean, did it change suddenly, or…”
    Betty: No, we went a distance, and I seen those
things
[the monkey-like creatures]. And then it started to change.
    The track curved upward. This new area was vast.
    Betty: It’s beautiful here. Oh, it’s so beautiful here, and we are still along the thing. And now that we are in the green atmosphere, they are taking off those black hoods. And…going along and it seems like mist or sea or something off to the side there. Beautiful. And we’re like on a narrow, narrow passage of land and we’re gliding across it. And off to the side, I see—I don’t know if they are fish or what. It looks like a combination fish and bird. And it seems like it’s haze all over, and fog, and yet it’s light so I can see it. And we are going someplace. I don’t know where it is, up ahead, but it seems that we’re going someplace.
    Betty peered down upon strange plants, mist-enshrouded water, and a distant complex of buildings. The sheer vastness of this alien realm overwhelmed her senses. Where was she? What place was this? It reminded her of some legendary underground kingdom.
    Betty: It’s getting brighter green and beautiful. Oh, it’s so beautiful. That one in front of me told me, “See, I told you not to be afraid.” There’s a lot of different stuff I’m seeing, but I can’t describe it. It’s just unusual and different. Plants are different. It’s like, uh—long stems that come out in loops and the
different
colors. But they are green!
    Betty sounded puzzled and frustrated at not being able to describe verbally what she saw.
