Helen's Story 
It all began when my sister, Betty, and I were in a downtown St. Louis 
coffee shop. We had been shopping and had stopped off to get a coke 
and refresh ourselves. While in the coffee shop we were approached in 
a very mannerly way by two gentlemen dressed in grey suits, who 
managed to interrupt into our private conversation. As they spoke to us 
we found that they were from a huge mother-craft orbiting the planet 
Earth, and that their names were Elen and Zelas. They told us that we 
had been very closely watched by the Space People for the last eight 
years, and that our progress had been noted off and on from the time of 
our birth. Betty and I were both inclined to think that someone was 
playing a silly joke on us and we laughed when they told us this, but 
they were not laughing and were serious and stern. We were strangely 
shocked, however, when they told us of a few incidents in our 
childhood that no one could have possibly known except the family. 
They told us that we had been selected as contacts by the people of 
space to serve as channels through which they could give certain 
information to Earth, and that we had been carefully watched, as I 
stated before. They told us of the reasons why the space people were 
coming to Earth and that they were here to guide Earth along the lines 
of Brotherhood and Science. 
We were very much amazed at their words, and we noted particularly 
the kindness and warmth that shone in their eyes. With a single glance
from them we seemed to sense the vast wisdom and brotherhood which 
they must have lived among. After talking with us for a little over two 
hours they left and told us they would contact us again, but it was not 
until a week later that we were impelled to again return to the same 
coffee shop. 
When we entered the door we again saw one of the Space Brothers, and 
he gave us instructions at that time for building a device whereby we 
could contact the Space People. His instructions were explicit and 
precise, for he warned us that unless we placed every piece of the 
device in the proper place we would not be able to contact them with it. 
We were not allowed to take the drawn diagram of the device with us, 
But we had to remember it as it was explained to us. When we obtained 
the proper pieces for the device we constructed it when we returned 
home, and were happy to find the results were satisfactory. We were 
amazed when we tuned in on the mother craft and spoke with the same 
person we had earlier seen. We were also allowed to speak with the 
commander of the craft, who at that time was known as Alna. In the 
following six months we spoke many times with the space people 
through the device, and received much information about their homes, 
sciences and craft. 
In November of '57 I was alone in downtown St. Louis on business 
when I was again contacted by the space people and at their request 
went with them by automobile into Illinois where we drove to a heavily 
wooded area. There, I was told, was where they landed when they had 
business or contacts to make in St. Louis. Settled back behind an old 
barn was a circular craft that I judged to be approximately nine feet in 
height, and about 38 feet in diameter. It had a domed top, but no 
portholes. The sliding door was open and there was a uniformed 
operator sitting at the controls. 
I was nervous although I knew no harm would come for me, and I was 
visibly shaking, but Zelas only smiled as though to reassure me. The 
flight to the mother craft took approximately 15 minutes, and I was told 
the magnetism of the small craft would not affect my watch since it 
would be balanced by the magnetism of my own body. However, while
in the mother craft the magnetism of it caused my watch for stop, and it 
was de-magnetized in a small machine before I left. 
Inside the mother craft we entered the huge receiving room for the 
smaller craft. There were many huge machines in this room, and there 
were also many other uniformed men standing around obviously 
working upon the machines or moving them about. They glanced at us 
when we entered, but then returned to their work as before. The hall 
that we entered was softly lit and
