| Is there an explanation for the recent UFO sightings | | | | who claims to be publishing translations of message |

| ask... | | | | Why do I receive these particular messages? Why |
| Nope. At least, I don't have one. I am pretty sure the | | | | not something more formal and punchy along the lines |
| Arcturians operate from just one ship and are quite | | | | of "Greetings, Inhabitants of Earth....!" |
| capable of not being seen if they don't want to be, | | | | See above. TI am certqain the sender is grabbing |

| the Arcturian equivalent of the local nutter or we are | | | | of "elan" or "life energy;" Zhi" signifies fullness and |
| dealing with a race of gelatinous blobs whose | | | | bureth is the imperative form of the verb "burohnu," |
| motivations are too unspeakably alien to be | | | | which means to manifest or take on the appearance |

| rather haphazard ways what I call, for want of a | | | | at some kind of idiom so I racked my brains trying to |
| better term, the "Arcturian Lexicon." This comprises | | | | come up with an English equivalent which sums up the |
| lists of words with symbols and crudely drawn pictures | | | | meaning but has a bit of a ring to it. I decided upon, |
| that appear put together in haste, in the manner of | | | | "look lively". Therefore the alien vessel from now on |
| notes scribbled secretively while sitting on the john. | | | | will be referred to as the "Look Lively." Cool or what? |
| Again, I surmise that the sender, while having no time | | | | Do I know what the alien language sounds like? |
| to sit down and translate what he sends - or no | | | | Nope. I have no way of knowing as I have never |
| knowledge of any human language - does his best | | | | heard it used. For all I know they may not use sound at |

| These clues have enabled me to fathom the meaning | | | | communications, sign language or tenticular vibrations! |
| of hundreds of words, identify nouns, verbs and | | | | I've quite arbitrarily assigned sounds to the thirty seven |
| modifiers, work out some of the basic rules of the | | | | letters of the Arcturian alphabet and used Arabic |
| Arcturian language and from context extrapolate the | | | | letters to express those sounds. The sounds are |
| meanings of hundreds more words. My finished | | | | made up! The "Rhu" sound I mentioned above could |
