Mon-Ka is many people's favorite Martian. According to one chronicler, he "has
|
||
|
|
a wisdom that is light years beyond the most intelligent person on our
|
||
|
|
planet."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mon-Ka first communicated with earthlings in April 1956 at the Giant Rock
|
||
|
|
Spacecraft Convention in Southern California, when contactee Dick Miller
|
||
|
|
played recordings that he said had mysteriously appeared on tapes in sealed
|
||
|
|
cans. On the tapes Mon-Ka asked a favor and made a promise: "On the evening of
|
||
|
|
November 7, of this your year 1956, at 10:30 P.M. your local time, we request
|
||
|
|
that one of your communications stations remove its carrier signal from the
|
||
|
|
air for two minutes. At that time we will speak from our craft, which will be
|
||
|
|
stationed at an altitude of 10,000 feet over your great city of Los Angeles."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In September Miller went to London and played the tapes for impressionable
|
||
|
|
British saucer fans. The Associated Press' tongue-in-cheek treatment afforded
|
||
|
|
the story international attention. A subsequent Los Angeles Mirror-News
|
||
|
|
account revealed that Miller had once faked a radio communication from a
|
||
|
|
saucer in his native Detroit. Nonetheless, Southern California succumbed to
|
||
|
|
Mon-Ka mania. Two mass rallies were held in Los Angeles in late October, and
|
||
|
|
organizer Gabriel Green enthusiastically talked up the Martian on Art
|
||
|
|
Linkletter's popular House Party television show.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When the evening of November 7 rolled around, the faithful climbed to the
|
||
|
|
rooftops and scanned the skies. As publicity gimmicks two radio stations went
|
||
|
|
off the air at the appointed hour, and a television station sent out a plane
|
||
|
|
to look for the Martian spaceship. Mon-Ka did not show up.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
He was not, however, gone for good. Since then Mon-Ka has channeled psychic
|
||
|
|
communications to numerous contactees. Today he is beloved as a tireless (and
|
||
|
|
garrulous) "soldier for the cause of peace," in the words of one admirer.
