Does this purported "esoteric society" have a name? Or do people just say, "Hi, I'm a member of an esoteric society, and I got this letter."? — User:Bobby D. Bryant 10:15, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
== 'Much accurate scientific knowledge has been given' ==
From the text:
Much accurate scientific knowledge has been given in many Ummo letters letters, some of which was unknown or very specialized at the time the Ummo letters were published, which could perhaps lead to the real authors. For example:
* red shift variation (shift towards the red segment of the E.M. spectrum according to the speed and direction of the object in relation to the observer) is not constant but is a non-sinusoidal periodic function.
* Discovery of 86 pairs of krypton atoms at the "end" of DNA strands in all living beings.
* Abrupt temperature variations in the center of toroidal nebulae (from -270°C to -273,14°C) and that the plane of polarization of the spectrum line D emitted by sodium is polarized by an angle of 0.8 radians (without another polarization for another wavelength).
* Frequency of the activation impulse of nerve centres located in the coroidal ventro-lateral plexus of 10368 Hz.
* Discovery on Mars of simple unicellular and pluricellular plant-cell based organisms.
* The water contained in the cytoplasm and the cell nucleus can "memorise" electromagnetic radiation corresponding to a wavelength of 21,106 cm. (Approx. 1,421 MHz)
----
Uuuh... have I missed something, or have plants been found on Mars & water can remember EM radiation? How many of these claims are actually true and how many are claims Ummoites say are waiting to be discovered?
Ummo is a blanket term to describe a series of decades-long claims that extraterrestrial life from the planet Ummo were communicating with persons on the earth. Most Ummo information was in the form of many detailed documents and letters sent to various esoteric groups or Unidentified Flying Object enthusiasts. The Ummo affair was subject to much mainstream attention in France and Spain during the 1960's and 1970's, and a degree of interest remains regarding the subject. General consensus is that the entire affair was an elaborate hoax. The culprit (or culprits) are unknown, but a Jose Luis Jordan Pena has claimed responsibility for instigating the Ummo affair. [http://www.paranoiamagazine.com/ufocults.html] However, some contend there may be at least a measure truth in the matter, and there are a few small groups of devotees, such as "a strange Bolivian cult called the Daughters of Ummo" [http://www.forteantimes.com/articles/149_ummo.shtml]. Regardless of any ultimate explanation, the Ummo affair is one of the most intriguing (and most detailed) UFO-related events in recent decades. ==History== The first known letters were received by Fernando Sesma in 1966. Sesma was the leader of a contactee association in Madrid. Many others have received Ummo letters, including French scientist, Jean-Pierre Petit, who researches at the CNRS. In the letters, the Ummites relate their story and claim to have landed on Earth in March 1950 in the southern France département of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, in the area of Digne-les-Bains. Reports mention three spacecraft with some explorers coming from their planet. They describe how they found our planet, their arrival on Earth, analysis of ours habits, their language, and scientific descriptions of their activities. The authors claimed to have conducted secret studies of humans that were similar to alien abduction. In June 2003, a scientist with the pseudonym Jean Pollion released, in French, his book ''Ummo, de vrais extraterrestres'', or, ''Ummo, real extraterrestrials'' in which he analyses the "Ummite" thoughts and language. Currently, more than 1300 pages of those letters have been registered, but it is possible that many other letters exist. In a 1988 letter, reference is made to the existence of 3850 pages, copies of which having been sent to several individuals, represent perhaps up to 160,000 pages of total Ummo documents. The true identity of the authors of those reports remains unknown. ==The documents' contents== The Ummites write that they first visited Earth in 1950 as a small group of scientist-explorers. Their goals were the study of our biosphere, atmosphere and culture. They explain how they discovered the Earth by chance, thanks to a Morse code radio message sent by a Norwegian ship 15 years ago prior to their landing, and also describe scientific data from their planetary system, including its gravity, orbit, sidereal period, sizes, information about their star. The Ummites were amazed, seeing our Multiculturalism society, and also the social disorder so prevalent on Earth. They explain their civilization is older than ours, with appropraitely advanced technology, and they will not disturb our social evolution. About fifteen letters describe living conditions on their planet in painstaking detail, with many pictures. They give their society the term "social network" and explain that it is and enormous and dynamic network, where each person is a knot, and each relationship between people is a dynamic arc. In this way they describe their daily life: their housing, the importance of perfumes to their culture, their supply network, their cooking and food, work, games, family, their mode of transport, sex, their education system, psychology, marriage, arts, "the concept of God", their history, different governmental steps they have known, and the discovery of other planets having life. Philosophy and "the concept of God" are strongly featured in the Ummo letters. Several letters are devoted entirely to these subjects. Also mentioned are Ummites' morals, ethics, human being's free will, man's role in the universe, the end of existence, the soul, the collective unconscious (or ''collective soul'' as the Ummites call it). In several letters the Ummites discuss Earth's problems, including abortion, the oppression of women by men, and problems they see in or education and political systems. Many scientific subjects are described in detail, including network theory (or graph theory), astrophysics or cosmology), the unified field theory , biology, and evolution. Some of this information is dubious pseudoscience, but some of it is alleged to be accurate. Presuming some of this specialised knowledge is accurate, it's been suggested that a group of university students may be involved in an elaborate, extended prank by writing the Ummo letters. ==Hypotheses and Proposed Explanations== Several hypotheses about the real authors have been offered: *It's been proposed that the Ummo affair is genuinely what it claims: Communication from extraterrestrials. This has found little support. *Some people think a secret service, such as the KGB or CIA, may be responsible, but their motivations and aims are unknown, and no proof of such a scheme has been presented. *Others suspect one or several sects, but the Ummo authors do not, in any letters, at any time, suggest that their beliefs become the foundation of any "rite", or worship. Nowhere in those documents can you find an incitement to such activities. *The most popular hypothesis, however, seems to be that the entire affair is an elaborate hoax, perhaps perpretrated by a student group composed of scientists and philosophers might be the real authors.
