FILE: UFO1082              PART 6              Then I focussed upon his eyes. In the past, we had two pet cockatoos,       a Moluccan and a Sulpher-crested, both of which had eyes as black       as coal. It is said that the birds can be sexed by examining their       eyes for the subtle hint of brown, and I thought of the many times       I had stared intently into the birds' eyes. It was like a feeling       of deja' vu, for I was sure that within the alien's eyes, I could       pick up some extremely subtle gradations of color. Furthermore,       these ever-so-sublte variations in the color seemed to indicate not       just one circular iris within each eye, but perhaps two or more,       although I somehow "knew" that their eyes were more than just visual       organs, and the non-primary circular markings were not really a visual       iris. (...that they had only one real visual iris within each eye)       Additionally, it struck me at how the eyes were far less almond-shaped       and less wrap-around than I had thought before. It made me think       that the illustration of an alien on Communion was analogous to the       Kroft puppeteer's version of Ronald Reagan: a highly stylized caricature.              Then the image came to life! The thought was somehow conveyed to       me that he was acknowledging the presence of orthodontic braces on       my teeth. In a manner analogous to "I've seen yours, so now I'll       show you mine," he proceeded to open up his little round mouth and       let me look in. When his nearly lip-less mouth was shut, it seemed       to call no attention to itself, but when opened, I noticed that he,       like us, had muscles beneath the skin. The effect of seeing the       tightened muscles beneath his skin made me think that he was capable       of expression, in an otherwise expressionless face. Within the mouth,       I observed a semicircular ridge of hardened tissue, which he called       his "primary mastication NOUN."               It seemed like he was using telepathy to communicate, and my mind       was responsible for translations into the English language. The       "NOUN" carried a meaning like "organ", "appendage", or "device,"       but the exact word to convey the true meaning is not within my vocabulary,       and it's making me very frustrated as I write this. I somehow seemed       to "know" that they eat very soft foods, like being a vegetarian       in England. The hardened ridge of tissue was unsegmented, unlike       ordinary human teeth. With that, the image faded from my mind.       What has taken me two long paragraphs to write happened in only a       few seconds of time. The image was definitely a memory, and not something       that was happening at that moment. Whether the memory is of a dream       or reality, I will probably never know.              After recalling the unusual experience above, the feeling of contentedness       overwhelmed me. My bladder now empty and Jim's warm body next to       mine, I immediately fell soundly asleep. I didn't wake up until       after 11 am the following morning, and was relieved that I had finally       (post 6 am) been able to get a normal night's sleep. Fully cognizant       of the aforementioned experience, I immediately proceeded to the       computer and wrote everything down. While sitting at the keyboard       and unconsciously scratching at my dandruff patch, I became aware       that my dandruff was severely aggravated, and I had a painful welt       next to it!              For about a year, more-or-less coinciding with people telling me       that I had a sunburn (polycythemia), I have had a localized patch       of dandruff at the base of my skull. More specifically, if you run       your finger up along the cervical vertebrae, you will reach a slight       concavity between two muscles at the point where the neck meets the       head, in the occipital region of the cranium. It is in that spot       that I have my dandruff patch. I use the word "dandruff", for lack       of something better, because it is most likely some other skin disorder,       since I have an otherwise oily scalp . I have tried every name-brand       dandruff shampoo, and nothing seems to help, but fortunately, it       hasn't spread beyond that highly localized area. On this day, July 18,       and for several days afterward, the patch seemed to be draining some       sort of fluid from the painful welt which was just above and to the       left of my patch. As of this writing, (August 7), that welt has       not entirely subsided. On July 19, the following day, I developed       another painful welt on the right side of the dandruff patch, almost       a mirror image. Coinciding again with the development of my       dandruff patch and my polycythemia, for about a year I have been       plagued by excessive perspiration. For no apparent reason, I would       sweat from my armpits in phenomenal amounts.       End of Part 6                       **********************************************        * THE U.F.O.
