Beginning around 1965, hundreds if not thousands of physicists, engineers, biologists, astronomers, and selected people worldwide who were active in UFO study suddenly began to receive strange letters, written in many different languages, but primarily in Spanish, and originating from many number of places.

In some cases, the address was hand-written, imitating printed fonts:

Fig 2-01

The authors presented themselves as extraterrestrials from a planet named Ummo, orbiting around a star, which they called Iumma, and which they equated (without being certain) with what our astronomers call Wolf 424 (in the constellation of Virgo).

The topics covered in the letters were extremely varied, ranging from the history of the civilization of the Ummites (in many instances, with often hilarious details!) to whole treatises on biology, mathematics, geometry and physics, with examples of applied technology, with comparisons between their way of life and ours, and between religions, politics, and philosophy.

In most cases, copies of the same letter were sent to several different addressees, every copy being individually typewritten. Presently the corpus of Ummite communications is really huge. Not counting multiple copies, we have some 10,000 pages (the description of their complicated language alone amounts to over 2,000 pages). As I have said, they were almost always written in Spanish, so that, in a way, Castilian is the official language of the “Ummo Affair”. Words and even whole sentences in the Ummitan language are often intermixed with the Spanish text. Such interjections are written in capital letters. When quoting the Spanish texts in the first Italian edition of this book, I left the original Spanish, thinking that Italians would understand it easily. However, I received so many complaints that I will now render them into English, although in doing so some detail will be lost.

Almost all the UMMO communications begin with the following header, which identifies the language being used (as if the recipient was not able to understand it by himself!), the number of copies sent, the date, and the address of the person it had been sent to. The word UMMOAELEWE identifies the central government of their nation (at the right the translation):

UMMOAELEWE

Idioma: Español               Language: Spanish

N.º de Copias 28             Number of copies  28

Fecha 1972                     Year 1972

Sr. Stefano Breccia          Mr. Stefano Breccia

Let’s begin reading (although not in full, because it is extremely long) the letter which, typically, was sent whenever a new contact was initiated. I repeat, the translation does not allow us to appreciate the peculiar way they were using Spanish. To maintain something of their stylistic tastes, I am going to include their mistakes (there are very few, I must admit) and will keep their strange use of quotes and capital letters.

Dear Sir,

We acknowledge the transcendence of that which we are about to tell you. It is clear to us that a statement of this kind should be considered preposterous, so that only a madman or a joker could have written it, or maybe someone looking for easy money.

When something new overcomes the usual patterns of public acceptance, without any means of verifying its reality, any balanced and intelligent mind has the right to and must adopt a skeptical attitude toward it. “Nobody has to accept a simple statement, especially in cases such as this, where its origin is unknown, and thus of a suspicious nature”.

To us, what we are going to tell you is true, but we can’t logically exect that you’re going to believe such fantastic statements. “We must confess that, in your place, we would act the same way”.

If YESTERDAY’s concepts, which seemed fantastic and absurd had not been analyzed by competent scholars, would you have reached your present cultural level on Earth?

But, if such concepts are erroneous, if such tales are fraudulent, or if they are only the work of impostors, THE TRUTH has to be ascertained, thereby unmasking the deluded, the jokesters, the paranoiacs, or the impostors who tried to acquire the title of SCIENTISTS.

We have studied your history in enough detail to be aware of the immense bitterness caused by false prophets, those paranoid minds, who, in order to earn their own prestige, deceived the sincerity of Scientists acting in good Faith.

We have appreciated the struggle of your Science against Superstition, Astrology, Theosophy, Spiritualism and Dowsing, which, although they often carry in themselves a few principles worthy of being investigated, are at the same time full of unfounded statements, absurd methods of analogous reasoning, and of leaps of faith totally unacceptable to a balanced mind.

In these last years, because of the appearance in the Terrestrial Atmosphere of the so-called U.F.O. or O.V.N.I., vulgarly named Flying Saucers, the fantasies of men all over the Earth are overflowing thanks to the multiplication of fraudulent Newspapers publicity concerning such phenomena. Even worse, individuals such as George Adamski in 1952, Daniel Fry, or the Norwegian Edith Jacob in 1954 are appearing in various countries, pretending to have relationships with beings coming from other Worlds.

These subjects and the gullibility of the masses in immediately accepting at first impression their absurd tales have totally discredited the serious studies (os UFOs) that, in spite of everything, are being carried out on the part of the Official Technical Agencies of some Governments.

 Then, as we are conscious that such tales have logically created a logical state of disbelief, it’s not strange to us that it results in a repetition of the popular fable you call the Shepherd and the Wolf (Author: “Peter and the Wolf”, or “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”).

For such reasons, we are perfectly aware that we’re not going to be believed, either now or in the future, whenever we choose to offer further revelations.

We repeat that our main goal is not rooted in being believed, without any more proof than these relations that we are going to send you. That doesn’t mean that in the future we are not going to send you verified arguments and proofs of our identity, as we have already done in the United States, England, and Spain. Actually we are known in other countries. At this moment Australia, Germany, and the Soviet Union are receiving our reports, directed to prominent men of science, and though we recognize that a high percentage of the recipients tore our letters up, taking them realistically as the work of jokesters, or disturbed minds, in some cases the overwhelming collection of scientific data we offered was sufficiently convincing to many, that, in the end, we might be telling  the truth.

Relations with these persons have continued, with them demonstrating reticence and discomfort, but objectively validating this strange situation, without totally discarding the hypothesis that our “Supposed” identity was likely true.

For this reason we are asking you to Read Carefully what we are going to tell you. It is Not important that you do so out of simple curiosity at first, disregarding totally the validity of our apparently fantastic statements. Again, we are not so ingenuous as to expect to be believed.

Moreover, we will give you a second reason that may seem paradoxical. We do not desire that the masses become aware of our existence. And we have very good reasons to justify this apparent contradiction.

Up to now, with very few exceptions, our contacts have been only with men of Science (True Researchers, and some Engineers), to whom we have offered certain data concerning Physics, Biology and Psychology, of interest to their work. At times even some technical procedures with industrial applications that, as in the case of A. W. R., from Atlanta (USA) have been accepted and patented. These were met with some surprise among experts knowledgeable in those fields, who assumed that it was the work of some whimsical and original scientist.

Then there are reasons that cause us to present ourselves to you, so that you may became part of this restricted group of people that, with more or less intellectual abilities, has become involved in the problem that laymen call the Origin of the U.F.O.

Physical data of our planet

We come from a planet, whose name, Phonetically, could be written as UM-MO (the U very closed, almost guttural). The M could also be read as a B) whose major characteristics are as follows:

Orbit of “Ummo”

Elliptical, with an eccentricity of 0.007833, with focus on the star we name IUMMA, or YUMMA, that performs the same role played by your SUN.

Distance from Earth to Iumma (Ummo’s sun)

The apparent distance, i.e. along the trajectory a coherent beam of waves follows in the three-dimensional space, was 14.437 Light years, on the fourth of January, 1955.

Real distance in the space with 10 dimensions

This is a function of time. It must be computed in a Space with N dimensions, and shows some periodicity. It’s very important to be able to evaluate it, because our Galactic trips depend on it.

Equatorial radius of “Ummo”

Measured on the average surface of UAUAWEE. R=7251.61 kilometres.

Mass of Ummo

M=1.36∙10²⁴ mass kilograms.

Inclination of Ummo

To the perpendicular to the orbit plane, it is 18º 39’ 56”.

Time of rotation around its axis

600 UIW. Some 30.03 hours, equivalent to one day of yours, although a bit longer.

Gravity acceleration on Ummo

11.88 meters/second (Author: this is a gross mistake, because accelerations should be given in m/s²). It may sound strange to you, but we aren’t sure which star, in your catalogues, is our IUMMA (UMMO’s sun).  By means of a translation of coordinates, we estimate that from Earth our IUMMA can be seen as a star with the following characteristics:

Right Ascension

12 hours, 31’ minutes, 14” seconds.

Declination

9º hours, 18’ minutes, 14” seconds (Constellation “Virgo”).

Absolute visual magnitude

“14.3”

Apparent visual magnitude

It is reduced, because at 3.682 Parsecs distance from Earth there is a big cloud of cosmic dust, but should be between 12 and 13 (Author: another mistake: visual magnitudes increase in value when the amount of light decreases), so that you may see it only through photographic means.

Spectral type

(According to Terrestrial Astronomical Classification) Type M. Our IUMMA is what you call a Dwarf Star. Unfortunately, the mistakes you’ve made in measuring distances are often greater than 15% among different stars catalogues you have issued. Therefore it’s impossible to equate a star codified by us with one catalogued by Earth Astronomers, even with a careful translation of axes. In any case, we believe that our IUMMA may be the star which you catalogue as WOLF 424, as it’s coordinates seem to be similar to the ones we have stated.

Geographical structure of UMMO

Our geological-geographical structure is rather different from the one of Planet Earth. Oceans occupy 61.84%, with waters full of different saline chlorides. There is but one single continent, full of large lakes, the greatest of which, AUWOA SAAOA (Little sea of God) measures some 276∙10³ square kilometres. Our mountain ranges, very eroded, scarcely resemble Earth’s mountains. The OAG OEII are a kind of volcanoes that look like big fissures that emit high and brilliant columns of incandescent mixtures of Methane-Pentane-Oxygen.

Language and characteristics

We make use of a double language (by means of sequential repetitions of various terms we are able to express at the same time two different ideas). The words we use in this report are graphic expressions approximating their real phonetic sounds.

Mathematics of Ummo

In mathematics we use a numbering system based on 12. (Of course we have only 10 digits, just like you). It’s only for historical reasons. As a simple curiosity, we enclose here some examples of mathematical expressions, written together with their equivalent in our language.

Fig 2-02

Physical Units of Ummo

Here we enclose some units utilized all over our planet.

Universal unit of distance of Ummo

It is pronounced WAALI, and is equivalent to 12^4.3 light years (Author: this means 43,700 light years, really a huge distance!).

Universal unit of longitude of Ummo

ENMOO, equivalent to 1.8736658 meters.

Unit of time on Ummo

UIW, equivalent to some 3.09 seconds, is defined as the half-life time of a mass of the isotope of  thorium we call WAEELEWIWWOAT.

Frequency of the impulses of activation of nervous centres

The frequency of the impulses of activation of nervous centres situated within the ventro-lateral coroidal plexus of the brain is 6·12³ cycles/second (Author: 10,368 Hertz). This is a frequency unit extensively used in Neurophysiology.

Biogenetic constants

12^-10∙6.58102 seconds. It’s the time required to integrate the quantic state in a carbon atom within the chain of Deoxyribonucleic Acid for the formation of one GEN.

Morphology of the Inhabitants of UMMO

We inhabitants of UMMO possess a body whose physical morphology is analogous to that of Earth’s Homo Sapiens. This is logical if you consider that the same biogenetical laws apply throughout the Universe. There are but a few small differences between you and us.

In a high percentage of the inhabitants of our Planet, the phonetic organ atrophies during the age of adolescence, so that the Ummite glottis suffers a sclerotic process which deprives us of verbal acoustical expression. Nevertheless, with the help of special prosthesis amplifiers of the weak frequencies emitted, we are able to speak normally, though the timbre of our voice is not as harmonious as yours, and the range of octaves is  restricted.

Sociological characteristics of UMMO people

Our species is much older than yours, and we have reached an elevated level of civilization. Our social structure differs considerably from yours.

Government of UMMO

Our Government is ruled by the “UMMOAELEWE” (General Counsel of UMMO), composed of four members who have been selected among the whole UMMO species thanks to Psycho-physiological examinations. Laws are established as a function of the Sociometric Principles which prevail on our Planet.

Labour Coordination on UMMO

Coordinating people’s labour is attained by means of an efficient group discipline. Our economic structure is quite different from yours. Your curious institution of money is unknown to us, because all transactions involving the few valuable goods that exist on UMMO are accomplished throughout a Network of XANMOO (some kind of computers or electronic brains). On the other end, consumer goods (food and furniture) are of no value, because their abundance exceeds greatly the demand. Land and space are public.

Religion and creed on UMMO

We are a profoundly religious society. We believe in WOA (God or Generator) and we have scientific arguments in favour of the existence of the BUAWAA (Soul). We are also aware of a third element in man that connects him to the A-dimensional Soul. It is lodged within the Encephalic Cortex, and we have informed two of your neurophysiologists of that. Our religion is so similar to Earth’s Christianity that we were truly surprised when we discovered this. They differ only in the fact that our religion emerged in UMMO at a time in which our society was much more developed than yours at the times when JESUSCHRIST lived. Our kind of life, sexual habits, entertainment, and so on, are much more different than you could imagine. There are no true racial distinctions among UMMO’s people, and varieties and biological species are less numerous than on Earth. We believe that this is due to the fact that the likehood of chromosome mutation is reduced, because our atmosphere is more protected than yours from the secondary effects of Cosmic Radiation.

Our first arrival on planet Earth

Our first coming to the planet Earth happened largely because of the excellent Isodynamic conditions of space (space curvature) present at that time. Three of our OAWOOLEA UEWA OEM (that you call O.V.N.I. or flying saucers) landed in a place in the French Department of Basses Alpes, some 13 kilometres from DIGNE, and between 8 and 10 km from the locality of La Javie, at 4 hours and 17 minutes GMT (Greenwich time), on March 28, 1950.

We will provide details about the difficulties suffered by our first scouting group, which had to get through some very grave situations created by their absolute ignorance of Earth language and customs.

Other arrivals to Earth and dates

Since then, more ships have arrived, culminating with the landing of three OAWOOLEA UEWA on February, 1966. The contacts with Earth’s orography were: First, the arrival of two brothers of ours near Erevan (Soviet Territory) at 18 hours 47 minutes (Spanish time), in a place 6 kilometres away from the Araks river on February the 6^th, 1966. Second, arrival of two brothers at 20 hours, 2 minutes, in a place near Madrid (Spain), near the settlement of Aluche on February the 6^th, 1966. Third, arrival of three brothers in a place near Townsville (Queensland, Australia) at 22 hours, 45 minutes on February the 6^th, 1966 (Spanish time).

Permissible Characteristics of our ships

The characteristics of our OAWOOLEA UEWA, which are permitted to be revealed because they aren’t subjected to our norms of security are: A) circular body, whose exterior diameter is 7,1 ENMOO (some 13.18 metres). B) Pseudo-lenticular transverse section 3,25 metres high. Provided with three extendable landing supports, with rectangular panels. The magnetic perturbations recorded by the Soviet engineer Alexei Krilov are not due to the magnetic criteria of propulsion. The strong induction he observed, in a point along the axis of the ship, ten metres away from its “Inertia Centre” often reached “600 Gauss”, and was due to a secondary effect.

Aims and objective of the voyage

Our aims in getting in touch with the Planet Earth are mainly centred upon Studying and Analyzing Earth Culture. It’s difficult to state, in short paragraphs, the essential differences between our Civilizations, because, although our Scientific and Technological level is much higher than yours, we have to admit that you have cultivated some kinds of Arts (Painting, Sculpturing, especially Music) to a higher level than ours.

Unofficial Contacts with Governments and people

There are strong reasons, which we have explained to some of our contactees, for us not wanting to be known on an Official basis, although Officials of some countries are now aware of our coming to Earth. Many Scientists and cultural Entities have been receiving our communications, all over Earth. But we must admit that results have been very poor, which was easy to foresee, taking into account the skepticism and good humour with which they have been received. When we brought revelatory knowledge, for instance about using tri-dimensional photography without any ocular visual media, or about interesting mathematic Developments, for instance concerning Graphs or Networks theory, they were considered as the work of some eccentric scientist, or a jokester. We do not tell you this with regret or bitterness, because from a psychological point of view such reactions are but normal. We wish to present you with a list of the Spanish persons we have contacted, letting them know our identity.

This letter is one among many instances, all similar to one another, of the Ummites introducing themselves. A typical mistake always present in this first letter consists of measuring accelerations in m/sec, instead than m/sec². However, in other contexts accelerations are measured correctly. Therefore we should infer that all of these first letters have been copied from a single original, which was mistaken on that point. There is another mistake in the first letter. When speaking about the apparent visual magnitude of Ummo, it should be, they state, something around the 14^th magnitude. But, due to a big cloud of cosmic dust between Earth and Ummo, its magnitude decreases to 12 or 13. On the contrary, the scale of magnitudes is inversely logarithmic, so that a higher magnitude would apply to a dimmer light, and not vice-versa. Another inconsistency appears when they speak about the UIW. They say that a UIW equals 3.09 seconds, but, a few lines earlier, they stated that the duration of an Ummo day is of 600 UIW (30.03 hours). It seems, therefore, that one UIW equals some 180 seconds. Of course it is difficult to understand anything about the thorium isotope  WAEELEWIWWOAT, but the easiest explanation would be that one UIW equals 3.09 prime minutes, not seconds!

Sometimes messages arrived, written in Ummite language, and therefore very hard to understand:

Fig 2-03

All communications end with the Ummo symbol as a signature. It was typically printed with a kind of stamp, which looks like the Russian letter Ж, or a “+” sign enclosed between a couple of reverse parentheses:  )+(. The bending of the lateral bands may be more or less marked. At times, the horizontal line extends beyond the lateral one (as in the previous example). At times the symbol is rotated of 90 degrees (as in the following example).

Fig 2-04

Ummite letters were mailed from the most disparate places on Earth. The following message came to me from Leningrad (Saint Petersburg), as “Happy New Year” greetings:

Fig 2-05

These gentlemen addressed me in the classic Russian style, with first name, patronymic, and family name. I believe that very few people, mostly relatives of mine, are aware that my father’s name was Aldo, whence the letter “A”. Of course, some research at registry offices should have been enough to acquire this information, but it means, at least, that someone took the trouble to do so.

There is then a small mistake in the date (a “Г” is missing after 1975), but we can’t expect too much!
