Zorg543

1966- 1970 over 150 Ummite documents were received by various persons totalling well over 1000 pages. Strangely enough further documents would continue surfacing for many subsequent years. The author of these documents remains UNKNOWN to this day.

UNKNOWN...UNKNOWN...UNKNOWN...

In the documents there is reference to the discovery of earth which was 15 years prior to their arrival in 1950 a Norwegian ship by chance contacted them through Morse code enabling them to find out vital information which later allowed them to bring back a group of explorers to gather more information on the earth.

From the letters gathered it was clear that the The Ummites were amazed, seeing the multi-cultural society that existed on earth, but they were also worried and frightened about the chaotic state of the world. Apparently their civilisation had more advanced technology, and that they weren’t interested in disturbing our social evolution.

Some letters gave great detail in their civilisation as well as detailed drawings of ‘vehicles’ and other graphs of their world. 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 beings' free will, man's role in the universe, the end of existence, the soul, and 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 our education and political systems.

Many scientific subjects are described in detail, including network theory (or graph theory), astrophysics, cosmology, the unified field theory, biology, and evolution. Some of this information is thought to be dubious pseudoscience, but much of it is scientifically accurate. However, Jerome Clark notes that Dr. Jacques Vallee argued that the scientific content of the Ummo letters was knowledgeable but unremarkable, and compared the scientific references to a well-researched science fiction novel -- plausible in the 1960s, but dated by the standards of the 1990s.

[notes] Hypotheses and proposed explanations

Several hypotheses about the real authors have been offered:

* It's been proposed that the Ummoism is genuinely what it claims: Communication from extraterrestrials.

* Some people think some class of secret service, such as the CIA or KGB, may be responsible, but their motivations and aims are unknown, and no proof of such a scheme has been presented.

* Dash notes that some suspect that the Ummite material was "an attempt by a socialist group to publish radical material that could not otherwise appear under General Franco's dictatorship." (Dash, 300)

* Others suspect one or several religious 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 the documents is an incitement to such activities.

· The most popular hypothesis, however, seems to be that the entire affair is an elaborate hoax, perhaps perpetrated by a student group composed of scientists and philosophers. As noted above, a Jose Luis Jordán Peña claimed in 1992 that he had instigated Ummoism, but people who have met him say that he does not have a sufficient background to have authored the texts.

I turned the pages.

Upon discovering that there was a fatal error in the system which I was aware of what sort of calculations it did but unaware what was the purpose or use for such software system, I realised that the calculations keep on coming up with Zorg543. What was Zorg543? A name of a system, a supercomputer? It didn’t make sense as the calculations were always contained with a certain subset of numbers even when different calculations occurred.

I put the book down it was too much to take in, what did this have to do with anything. Besides it didn’t make any sense.
