The following is the text from the file Artifact #1 in the
UFOlogy libary section.  The original file is in .ASD (Astound)
format which hardly anyone has and is graphically intensive which
subsequently results in a large file and long download times.  I
converted the text because there is no need to waste time
downloading the file in its original format.   It had no graphics
except for a fancy background which anyone could draw.  I
wouldn't suggest that anyone waste thier time downloading the
original file.

This text is uploaded with permission of the author.

The following is EXACTLY like the original, including
spelling/Grammer errors.

We are Not Alone

Artifact #1:

Many of you might be wondering, "If this is a genuine
Extraterrestrial Artifact why doesn't the author go to the
government or the scientific community."? My answer to that
obvious question is this:  The artifact is much more than just a
thing.  It has a personal message to all of us and in my opinion
it is paramount to share it with the public domain.  Do you
sincerely believe that governmenrts(Governments) and certain
institutions want the general population to have knowledge of and
from another world?  I think you can answer that question
yourself.

Artifact:

This is not just another extraterrestrial story.  This is the
exhibition of physical proof of Extraterrestrial Life.  What you
are about to experience is an event of millineum magnitude.

In 1974 in a remote area Java Indonesia I acquired an artifact
that is from another time and another world.  For over 20 years I
have intentially hide(I think the author meant hidden) this
artifact from the world and have even tried to destroy it.  Since
1974, I have carried in silence a guarded secret which at times
has been very difficult to carry.

After all these years I am now compelled to share with you and
the world this profound secret.  It is easy to dismiss this
fantastic claim as fiction, but seeing is believing.

You will be the first to see with your own eyes and to judge for
yourself if this is fact or fiction.  Please be informed it will
not be what Hollywood has conditioned our minds to expect.  What
you will experience is an excersize in travelling to the outer
boundries of human perception.

In a sincere effort to assist you in experiencing something not
from this world it is necessary to for me to act as you guide.
Sure, if it were just Hollywood and fiction I could just say HERE
IT IS!  This is real, and what you are about to experience is
unlike anything you have ever seen before.

You must know that it is extremely difficult for me to make this
effort.  I have great reservation due to the complicated nature
of the artifact and its implications.

My reluctance is not motivated by the inevitable ridicule of
skeptics, it is rooted in the belief that this artifact ushers in
a tide of great change.

I present this artifact to you, now,  in the hopes that the
knowledge gained form(From) your experience will help us all cope
with the changes that are upon us.

This Is not a story about me, I don't care to tell anyone my
name.  This is not a commercial venture to entertain you for the
hopes of economic rewards...this is real life.

We live in cynical times when few people can afford to trust
their fellow humans without the risk of harm.  I declare to you
that my efforts are sincere.  I reach out to you and ask you only
to open your eyes and mind to what is about to unfold before you.

It is easy to shelter our minds and our eyes from the unknown and
it is always reassuring to have an answer.  You probably wish you
could turn to the last page of this book and read the last
sentance.   I can't blame you for your need to know , this is
part of being human.  You must be informed that there may not be
an immediate answer and there is no last page.

For those of you that can look with open eyes and mind and not
fear the  unknown then I invite you to enter into a realm of
perception hereto never experienced by humans.  Only you and you
alone will be able to find your personal answer.

However amazing and incredible the claim I make to you is, be
assured, it is not fiction.  Sure, we consistantly hear and read
of fantastic unbelievable events of encounters with aliens and
many can be laughed about.  There is and always will be fantastic
stories that lack physical evidence of such claimed events.

It is easy to attempt to discredit me and to write this off as
just another UFO enthusiest that has looked as sun spots too
long.  The physical evidence I am about to present to you will
speak for my claim.  You and the scientific community can be the
judge and the jury.

This is history, and you are the very first to enter through the
doors of a new era of human perception and thought.  We are all
an active part of the making of history and the doors you now
enter through have been waiting from the dawn of humanity to be
opened.

I sign off here.  The next communication I will have with you
will be soon.  Watch for Artifact #2.

Each segment of the Artifact will be an .ASD file which must be
viewed in the Astound player I have provided for you.  All
artifact segments will be in a .zip compressed format to save on
download time.

Look for Artifact #2
