They Live in the Sky

Pertinent Excerpts From A Flying Saucer Classic Of The 1950s, Part IX
[Index of 10 parts]
Andolo: "Upon our plane of life we have much the same type of existence as you do, although it is free of the corruptions, crimes and undesirable elements which are to be worked out of a being's karmic life before he or she may pass into the etheric state. Your earth is a testing ground, one of many hundreds of thousands of testing grounds in the Universe, where beings evolve upwards on the scale of life, working constantly towards junction with the Great One as the ultimate attainment of all existence.
"We, upon the etheric planes pass on to higher planes just as you do from earth, when qualified. This transformation on your earth is termed death. To us it is merely a transformer interposed between us and the next level of life to which we will ascend. We will stress once more that the greatest factor in the way of a proper grasp of the true story of life on your planet is the conception that death is the end of all existence. Nothing could be further from the truth.
"Upon your plane you must serve out the evolutionary period before you can ascend to the higher worlds. The fleshly bodies which you have are part of a plan to aid your working through this scale of existence. At your level you must endure savage crimes, wars, strife and violence; and the Great One, in his wisdom, has seen fit to use the fleshly body as the most convenient method of taking care of this almost elemental state of existence.
"Now then, there are more people waiting to serve out their karmic penalties then there are physical casings or bodies to go around. Therefore there is a dwelling place around your planet for those bodiless entities from your surface. These are spirits, or spirit people. They are, if you like, in suspension, or their evolution is interrupted; and they are anxious to return to the body, either to carry out something they left undone, or else, after realizing the truth or partial truth of creation, to become incarnate again and work towards proper passage through earthly life prior to ascending to higher realms.
"We are in bodies of a tenuous but none the less real substance, [19] vibrating at a rate much greater than that which prevails upon your planet. Spirit people are dwellers in astral form who cannot go beyond that astral form without serving out their karmic life in a casing of flesh as you know it. Communication is possible, both with us and the spirit people. But in communicating with Spirits you may find that they know but little more than earth dwellers, and in many cases not as much. They may have nothing valid to impart. They may play tricks and jokes upon people contacting them. Therefore we can only suggest that all such communication be done with extreme care and with a reason. Without reason behind it, it is little more than folly. I leave you in love and good will. I am Andolo."
Let the predominant lesson of this chapter be that all who seek to contact human beings by extra-sensory means may not be spacemen at all, at least as they have been depicted as as tall, handsome, with long golden hair and no dental caries. Along with beings who are supremely wise and beneficent, there are those who are malevolent and malicious, and those who may not live by any standard of values we could comprehend.
Realizing that I was venturing into realms where I was definitely a stranger, and in the presence of an order of beings I could not control, I decided to devote myself in the future to learning more about these things before opening any more doors. . .
THE STRUGGLE TO GET PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE
In the days I went to the Mojave Desert to try to get some photographs of spacecraft, I had not even begun to fully comprehend the significance of the information I had been given, and fondly imagined that Ashtar and his men would come in their craft, become visible, I would photograph them, and that would be that. It was not that easy.
Although it took me many months to realize it, the etheric forces probably do not have the power to manifest at our frequency level without the aid, witting or unwitting, of some person here. At the time I set my mind on the photographic project, Ashtar indicated that it would be difficult, but the paucity of my own knowledge undoubtedly prevented him from explaining exactly why it would be difficult. . . but it was impossible then, as I now see, for Ashtar to explain all these things to my lowly intelligence.
Our first trip to the desert on this project took place on August 18, 1956, and the purpose of my friend Jim Woods and I was to get photographs on purpose. We have done the same thing many times since, and have driven many thousands of miles to master this art, or at least its elements. On this trip we were a pair of splendid ignoramuses and are appalled today by our own conceit in thinking that we were in just one weekend to lay bare the whole UFO mystery.
So we set out for the Mojave, planning to drive down the strip of desert between Victorville and Yucca Valley, California, and camp there in an isolated spot. Ashtar suggested that I be on the alert for an indication of where to turn off the road, but I did not attach special importance to this. (To be continued)

They Live in the Sky: Invisible Incredible UFO Around Us
by Trevor James
"Is there extraterrestrial life of any kind? Are there intelligent beings in outer space who can communicate with humans? Are flying saucers real? These questions, and many others of equally fascinating nature are approached, and answered affirmatively, from a completely new viewpoint in this book.
"The author describes his own telepathic contact with an invisible being, and how, at the suggestion of this invisible intelligence, he began experimenting with infrared film in conjunction with elementary principles of spiritual science. Mr. James makes no claims to having boarded or flown in flying saucers, but instead effectively advances the theory of invisible but real creatures and craft in our own atmosphere.
"The book is at once iconoclastic and intellectual — it shatters many dangerous myths and misapprehensions which have hitherto caused enlightened people to shun the UFO phenomenon, at least in public. In place of the popular dogma of 'saucery' it offers new methods of investigation based upon the twin premises that these UFO are predominantly invisible and that man is a spiritual organism."
