Interview with an alien
Interview with an alienInterview with an Alien
Ida Kannenberg, an elderly lady, lives in
Hillsboro, Oregon, where she and her husband own
and operate a successful antique shop. Although she
is now nearly [eighty], she continues to travel all
over the world searching out and buying antiques
for their shop. She is highly energetic, well-
educated, and interested in a wide variety of subjects.
Mrs. Kannenberg's first physical UFO encounter
took place in 1940, during a night when she was
out on the desert. At first she was only able to
remember a blazing red object coming toward her, but
not what happened afterwards. The shock was so
great that for many years she remained confused as
to what had actually happened to her. In 1968, she
began to have telepathic experiences, which were
initially very frightening. In 1980, she tried being
regressed under hypnosis by Dr. Leo Sprinkle. During
the sessions conducted by Dr. Sprinkle, she was unable
to recall what her captors looked like, but did remember
that technological implants had been made, including
audio-visual implants. The UFO entities can see through
her eyes and hear through her ears. She is aware of
the continuous presence of what she calls her "live-in
companion," who answers to the name of Hweig.
Mrs. Kannenberg realizes that Hweig would be
explained away by conventional scientists in terms
of split personality or some other form of mental
abberation. Although she does not agree with this
interpretation of her situation, she does not claim to
have any paranormal abilities because of her contact
with Hweig. She does not seek publicity, nor does
she avoid it. She writes down dialogues and insights
she finds to be of particular interest as they occur,
and has given me permission to quote the following
descriptions:
There is the problem that eerything I can see, he can
also. Not only Hweig, but his immediate crew. Since their
observation is through technological implants, the whole
scene can be played upon a screen, like our television.
Hweig is an enormous tease. I suppose it does get
boring always listening in to me 24 hours a day, though
sometimes he takes a vacation for a week or more and someone
else monitors. I try to tease Hweig back. The only problem
is he always knows what I am thinking as soon as I know it
myself. Therefore it is very difficult to play any kind of
joke on him. I managed it just...
