Subject: Ancient Encounter.
  Here is some information from a space intelligence talking about an 
encounter that they had with a person on Earth. Here's the way the story 
went;....The Earth is surrounded by a unique ionized field that makes your 
planet almost invisible to a type of navigational sensing device in common 
use several thousand years ago.  In order to prevent accidents, beacons were 
placed on mountains at several points around the Earth, much as you put 
lights on tall buildings and bridges so that aircraft may see and avoid them.
  The beacons themselves were sensitive instruments that would not stand up 
well against human curiosity. In order to protect them we installed sensors 
that would detect the movement of any living creature larger than a sparrow 
anywhere on the mountain tops upon which they sat.  These sensors, when 
stimulated, activated systems which produced lightning, thunder, fire, and 
smoke effects to frighten intruders away. The deterrent worked very well at 
keeping people and animals away, but like all mechanical devices, it needed 
periodic servicing. 
  Now at the base of one of these mountains, there had lived a devoutly 
religious man who heard the mountain roar many times, and who slowly came to 
the conclusion that the mountain was the home of his God who was calling to 
him to come up.  Returning from Egypt with his people, the man finally 
summoned his courage and climbed the mountain. By coincidence he chose to do 
so at a time when the sensors were turned off while a maintenance crew 
serviced the beacon.  When the sacred  mountain failed to greet him with its 
usual performance, he grew bolder and climbed higher, and his presence was 
not discovered until he had nearly reached the summit. 
  The deterrent system was immediately activated, and the crew did everything 
they could think of to run him off. He sank to his knees, his hair turned 
white, and he developed a stutter that required his brother to speak for him 
for the rest of his life, but he did not flee. 
  While the man was kept busy by our theatrics, it was learned that he had 
made contact previously and had been given help in liberating his people 
from slavery. Those people, a potentially exportable cultural unit, were now 
camped at the base of the mountain, and he had come to seek the further 
guidance of his God on how to lead his people.
  To help them preseve their cultural integrity through the strains of the 
coming voyage, we produced ten laws that were consistent with their cultural 
values. Using a coherent energy device similar to a laser, we inscribed 
those laws on stone tablets which we gave to the man along with instructions 
to prepare his people for transport to the "promised land."
  When he returned to his people, he found they had reverted to worship of the 
gods they had encountered as slaves. He succeeded in getting most of his 
people to turn back to his God and to agree to abide by the ten laws, but to 
our horror, he ordered all those who did not agree with the laws massacred. 
Thousands died. 
  A culture that could perform such atrocities on its own members with no sign 
 of remorse was obviously in no condition to be transported anywhere.  An 
organism that attacks itself is unlikely to survive. We removed the beacon 
to a new location and left the man and his people to wander  in the desert, 
but because we had so profoundly affected these people, we continued to 
maintain limited contact with them. If you will construct an exact replica 
of the Ark of the Covenant according to scriptural specifications, you will 
find you have made a dangerously crude but effective radio receiver. 
  The foregoing was not the only incidence of contact, nor was Judaism the 
only religion affected by such contact. On the contrary, we have played a 
disconcertingly large role in many of the world's religions.  Remember the 
"Star of Bethlehem?" It doesn't take a mathematical genius to realize that a 
"star" that remains stationary "both day and night," and isn't noticed by 
competent astronomers a few hundred miles away is almost certainly a bright 
light on a high altitude hovering vessel. Today you would call that a UFO 
sighting. 
  Please do not misconstrue this as an attack on religion, which it is not.  
Religion has played a major role in your past, and will play an even greater 
part in your future.

JW Well now I wonder who these space people could have been talking about?  
Could his  name start with the letter M.
