The Contactees were human and mortal who just happened to meet with aliens. Each individual account varies in many ways, yet most share some similarities as well. A typical Contactee encounter took place between human and alien who was often, but not always, Venusian. Contactees were invited into space ships, taken for rides to other worlds, given lessons and information on coming changes for earth and humanity, metaphysics and the like. But there were some Venusian encounters of a different kind.
These Venusians had a different way of going about things. Instead of meeting human contacts out in the deserts or woods, they took another approach. "Omnec Onec" was a Venusian who "walked in" or took over, the human body of Sheila, a seven year old girl who had died in a bus accident. The book, UFO: From Venus I Came, relates the story of this human/Venusian "Contactee." The following explains how Omnec came to inhabit her human body:
Although Omnec had the appearance of a 7 year old girl she had the Venusian wisdom and knowledge of her 210 Earth-year equivalent at the time of her arrival here in 1955. This enabled her brilliance in school and she excelled in almost everything, which she tried to conceal so as to protect her real identity. Another Venusian visitor was "Christina." Christina "manifested her own body" for purposes of her time on earth. Her hands were oddly shaped, a bit like flippers, or "flames in a candle." I was an Extraterrestrial 'Walk In' from Venus! relates her story. Like Omnec, Christina was brought up inside the human body of an earth child. The book explains how, on Venus, thought creates reality and concrete objects:
In Contactee Dana Howard's book Over the Threshold, Diane, the Venusian, tells Dana the same thing during one of many meetings in the California desert:
According to Diane, the process of manifesting reality from thought is difficult for both humans and Venusians. Christina the walk-in Venusian said how hard it was for her to do this on earth:
Interesting similarities, once again, among the messages given to those human Contactees by other intelligences. The question is, just what are those other intelligences? Do we take these visitation literally? Or dismiss them as crazy stories of mentally unbalanced individuals? I refuse to do either. And I'm less inclined to take the latter as literally true (that they're all just crazy) as I am the literal (hell, who knows, maybe they do come from Venus.)
But from a true folkloric/Fortean perspective, an observer of the anomalous -- and experiencer of UFO high strangeness myself -- the fascination with Contactees isn't an either or question. In some ways it doesn't matter if these stories are true or not. On one level, I approach these stories as literature; or myth, which is not to say they are fiction. Exploring these encounters and all their symbolism, connections, threads - in other words, going down the rabbit hole -- is enough for now.
