)Subject: Trinidad Encounter:
 Not only do people from Calif. have encounters but people from Trinidad, 
Bloivia also have them. The following is some information passed to me from 
Kumar and Walter P. It is a letter sent from a person to some of his friends 
explaining his meeting some space people. So here we go; It is now January 
1976. and during my travels over the world, I have now come to Trinidad. My 
place is at the Marmone river in the Llas de Mojos in Bolivia.  I am here 
three days now, and have already realized many very interesting things. I 
have typed many pages of my impressions and experiences. But, yesterday, 
early in the morning, I had an experience which nearly made me "jump out of 
my boots".  I first considered it a halluciation or a tropical frenzy, 
before I could convince myself of being well. Perhaps you will feel the same 
when you read these lines. But you know well that I am no dreamer, and thus 
you simply have  to believe me, though this will surely be difficult for 
you.  It is all so crazy that even today I search for mistakes in my brains 
and even consider the possibility of dreaming. But, nevertheless all happend 
exactly as I write this to you, still clear in my impressions of yesterday's 
events, whech simply was unbelieveable even for me. I cannot express it 
otherwise. Do not consider me crazy or ill, for I am nether the one nor the 
other. I am as normal as you, and as well not addicted to fantisies, as you 
well know. But now let me tell you my experience of yeaterday."
  "It was just 5 o'clock in the morning when I rolled out of my bed and began 
to prepare for going this day to the far environs of Trinidad.  About 10 
minutes after getting up, I observed something in the morning sky which I 
simply could not believe.  I had already read and heard about flying 
saucers, but never gave them much thought or consideration, and never 
beeieved them to be real. I always thought such assertions were jokes. But 
now, very clamly and without noise, such a flying object passed over 
Trinidad, descended more and more, and finally disappeared somewhere behind 
the trees of the forest. I believed myself dreaming and rubbed my eyes, as 
this simply could not be true, what I had just seen. From my standing 
position the object looked like two laid together, semi-rounded great discs, 
just like a discus looks."
  "At first I sat down for a while and deliberated. Perhaps I should return to 
civilization and have myself examined by a medic. But then I decided that I 
had better examine the occureence more thoroughly before I should decide on 
that step. I took my compass then and determined the direction where I had 
seen the object going down. Then I packed a bundle and marched out, always 
checking the direction by the compass. This was nearly east. With much 
trouble and sweat I penetrated the environment  and made it through the 
rankly growing backwood, on and always on. It seemed I would never get 
there, and I already wanted to give up and return. I was threee or more 
hours on the way and still had found nothing, and so I must have suffered a 
hallucination.  From my calculations I should have come upon the object by 
now if it really had landed. I was breathing heavily and soaked with sweat 
and wanted to go back. In spite of that, I did not turn around, for 
something forced me irresistibly forwards. It seemed I was a magnet, which I 
simply could not resist. This might have continued for another half an hour. 
I finally decided I was crazy, because I suddenly realized something very 
big and metallic glittering through the bushes.  At first I was paralyzed in 
unbelief, then got control of myself and struggled through the last of the 
barriers. Once more I considered this a dream, because in a clearing was 
floating, only about one meter above the ground, a great discus of metal, 
certainly 14 or 15 meters in diameter. There was no noise, or else the tomes 
were inaudible, and yet this discus floated free above the ground simply in 
the air, like I was tied up. I stood there, only about 20 meters away from 
the object and stared unbelieving. I could not think any more. I also could 
not walk. I am used to a lot in all my travels, and not easily disturbed, 
but this, I realized, just paralyzed me. This simply could not be true, 
becuse it just could not exist."
