BOOK REVIEW:
Phillip H. Krapf
"The Contact Has Begun"
Review by George A. Filer, MUFON Eastern Director
Phillip H. Krapf, The Metro Desk editor of the Los Angeles Times (ret.), has
written a new book called "The Contact Has Begun." Krapf claims to have been
contacted by visiting aliens who told him to write this book in June of
1997. Most journalists are skeptical of stories about UFOs and visitors from
space. This book is important because a key member of the news industry is
putting his reputation on the line telling others we are being visited.
Essentially a peaceful race of extraterrestrials is making contact with
Earth's leaders from an Intergalactic Federation. The editor of the Los
Angeles Times is a skeptical journalist, who with his won acclaim for his
coverage of the Los Angeles riots. He claims to have been taken aboard a
craft from another world. Krapf's claims he was instructed to help other
humans accept we are not alone. Now is the time for us to prepare to enter
the Intergalactic Federation of Sovereign Planets. Important people from all
over the world are being contacted by the extraterrestrials to serve as
ambassadors to the human race. The aliens claim to carry no weapons and are
peaceful, promise a new wonderful world and call themselves, Verdants. Their
planet is 14 million light-years from Earth and is more than twice the size
of Earth. They assured him that the universe is teaming with life and there
are hundreds of thousands of inhabited planets. Dan Smith interviewed
Phillip Krapf in California and found him to be a warm, intelligent person
with no apparent mental problems. He certainly believed his story and
assured us that other important people will be speaking out in the coming
years concerning their contact. He claims that he recognized many important
people aboard the space ship who were also undergoing edification and
indoctrination. All have been given a mission to meet with Earth's leaders
and to prepare them for the future summit and contact. A new city will be
constructed by the extraterrestrials overnight and called, "Genesis." Key
leaders from all backgrounds will go to Genesis and be trained to
participate in the confederation. The essential message is that they come in
peace, they have discovered the light and they will shine it on our path.
Humanity is on the threshold of rebirth. They will be our shepherd and watch
over us like lambs. The first announcements will come in 2002. The book is
from Hay House Publishers and local stores. Note: This is pretty wild stuff
even for a UFO investigator.
