Visitors to Earth - Arcturian Translation and Phantom Blog Update

Reasons for the Delay in Publishing Further Translations:
The main reason, quite frankly, is that I find translation from the Arcturian symbols into English extremely difficult. The work is painstaking and slow and gives me a ruddy headache. Imagine translating from Greek or Chinese when you have no prior familiarity with either language or alphabet.

I do have some limited clues provided by my source: a lexicon of key alphabetical symbols and words and some crudely drawn pictures that look like the work of a three-year-old. Without these, the translation work would be impossible. There is not, let’s face it, a great deal of common ground experience-wise between me and someone from an alien planet! (My wife’s opinion notwithstanding) I don’t even know what they look like! They could be more or less human or more or less Intelligent Mollusk for all I know!

Here are some answers to some of the questions I am most frequently asked, which I hope will save many of you the trouble of emailing me and waiting a month of Sundays for a reply (I’m extremely backed up).

Why Do I Refer to Our Visitors as Arcturian?
My alien correspondent supplied me with a diagram at one time, which a friend of mine pointed out looks uncannily like the constellation of Bootes. The brightest star of Bootes is Arcturus, which is about 36 light years from us. Along with this rough sketch of Bootes was the Greek symbol ALPHA. Arcturus is also called Alpha Bootes. I figured someone was trying to draw my attention to the star Arcturus and guessed this must be their star of origin. Some more crude symbols led me to conclude that Arcturus has fifteen planets and Arcturus IX is our guests’ home world. This is all guesswork and I could be barking up the wrong tree entirely. Or just barking of course. Indeed, all my translation work contains a considerable degree of intuitive leaps (or blind guesswork depending on your point of view). If and when more data comes to light that leads me to correct earlier assumptions or fill in gaps, you’ll be the first to know.

How Do I receive these communications and when did they start?
One day about 6 month ago, a phantom blog appeared on my Blogger dashboard that I didn’t create. Evidently not only has the world gone blogging mad, even aliens are at it! (It will be PPC ads for weekend breaks on Procyon IV or herbal remedies for flakey tentacles next!)

The aforementioned Phantom Blog contained posts that were the first communications from my alien source. Further posts appeared over the ensuing weeks.

At first I deleted the blog assuming it to be a glitch of some kind, but it would always reappear.

After a while Ifelt compelled to look more closely at the content, which I had at first assumed to be gibberish, and realised it may be some kind of coded communication. Enough clues were provided for me to be able to “decode” the messages, albeit rather imperfectly.

I have about one “post” a week appear on my Phantom Blog, sometimes more. Some sections of these posts are intact and some are corrupted for some reason. I’m assuming the sender is using some kind of interface that allows a transfer of information between two entirely incompatible electronic systems. The Visitors use a much more advanced computer system based on something I can best translate as “Digital double helix” or “digital DNA” Does that mean anything to anyone?

To date I have received twenty eight messages of which I have managed to translate and publish two. Number three will be published just as soon as I can get my head around some very difficult passages. As you can tell I am very backlogged. (I’m hoping to get some help from a trusted friend who is also a linguist and that may speed things up.

How Do I Know The Whole Thing Is Not Just A Hoax -The Work Of Someone’s Imagination?
Quite frankly, I don’t.

I nevertheless decided to simply translate what was before me, publish and let YOU make of it what you will. It beats the hell out of watching TV and the exterior, detached view of our asylum,….er, I mean planet….. is kind of interesting. Besides, surely only a looney would put that much work into creating a flight of fancy?

Well, that’s all for now. I need to get some sleep. I’ll answer more questions in my next article shortly. But I must ask you to be patient and PLEASE DON’T SEND ME ANY MORE EMAILS WITH QUESTIONS.

Love
Kieron, Your Arcturian Correspondent

Translating these messages from our Visitors is an incidental thing and to be honest I’m beginning to wish they’d bothered someone else. There is much more to my work than relaying alien blog posts.
