• Dearest Vinicio I was amazed by your book. I’ve been doing yoga for several years, and I try to “meditate”, but looking around I could only find exercise classes: I wanted more. I wanted to grow, to rediscover mental peace, well-being, relaxation and calm, and feel new sensations. I tried one of the two exercises in the book and I have to say that after only the second day of practising, I really felt more “centred”. To begin with I sensed that something existed – but not everything I’d read about. Now I’m happy to know that there are other living beings in space apart from us. Perhaps one day if we evolve we could meet them face to face and our children could travel with them in space. What do you think?

• Professor Vinicio de Bortoli. My spinal cord was damaged in a car accident. When I was taken to hospital I could walk as though nothing had happened. That night I had a very strange dream: I was in bed and an extremely bright figure encircled my neck with a halo of light as though to protect me and treat my cervical injuries. The doctors, after looking at my discs, kept telling me it was impossible that I didn’t feel anything. When I read the messages in your book it confirmed what I thought and I understood that I’d been face to face with a being from another world, and now I know why I survived! If you like I’d be happy to collaborate with you.

• Dear Vinicio I am an engineer. I didn’t believe in UFOs and fundamentally I’m sceptical, and I think most sightings are fake or the creation of people with problems who think they are visionaries. I went to the conference in Milan where you presented your book with my mother, who has been interested in these things for a few years. She persuaded me to go with her because she finds these subjects very intriguing. I have to say that at the end of the evening I was glad I had gone and had the opportunity to meet you in person. I was amazed by your experience in the fields of physics and electronics. I read your book and have to say I found it very intersting and fascinating, particlarly the part about Wernher von Braun and your colleague Professor Ugo Licinio. Regards.

• Dear Vinicio de Bortoli, I’ll start by saying that I was never interested in UFOs or aliens, but after watching clips of your ebook and the accounts of the Italian Air Force and all the other armies at a friend’s house, a light bulb lit up in my head. It was as though for an instant I’d turned on a light in a room and I realized that we live in a darkness darker than that above our heads. Daily life compels us to think about work, professional commitments etc...and we forget where we came from and where we’re going and what kind of future we’re building. I honestly didn’t think that all the things I saw in those clips were being hidden from us, and the messages I read are extrremely important for all humanity. Do you think aliens might invade us in 2012?

• I’m so happy to have discovered the secret of contact.  For years I have dreamed of making contact with extra-terrestrials. Everyone thought I was mad. They said it was impossible to find other life forms in the universe. I clung to my belief though, and remained convinced. When I was a little girl and I looked at the night sky and saw the thousands of stars I always felt that I wasn’t alone. At the same time it was like I was being watched. I’ve always wondered: who knows how many people live in the universe. The accounts which you’ve collected, and the story of the contact group lifted a weight from my shoulders. Finally now I don’t feel alone and I know for sure that there are many of us who know the truth about this subject. I send you a big hug, and from the bottom of my heart best wishes for your illness.
