la sandia de la loteria

Loteria is the traditional Mexican game also known as "Mexican Bingo" using images on a deck of cards and humorous stories to identify the pictures on your loteria card.

The P'nti are a Star Nation who manage a facility beneath the Sandia Mountain on the eastern edge of Albuquerque. While those visited by the P'nti often see them with the black retractable lenses over their eyes, beneath them the P'nti have beautiful eye colors similar to our own but also including shades of lavender and amber.

Sandia Crest

When Radar, one of the youngest members of the P'nti staff originally heard of this dance step here on Earth, the first question he asked was, "Did you learn moonwalking on the moon?"

Jll (say Jah-ill) is one of the Sandia Mountain Information Station trainees. She is in training to work on one of the 6 person visiting teams that respond to invitations by Earth Humans who have studied the Telepathy 101 Primer (available for free on officialfirstcontact.com) and followed the protocols for CE5 contact.

How does one describe Zufu? The best way is to say this...he is a man continually in search of his next cup of hot t'ch (ta-Cha). That's coffee to us Earth humans. Zufu (also affectionately known as 'Fuzz' to Radar) spent years working in aquatic studies and surveys, and has only recently transferred to the Information Desk at the Sandia Mountain facility where he has quickly become a regular favorite with the Twitter locals. One wonders if a personal coffee maker might not make an excellent present for this young Pnti.

With a nod to the classic science fiction movie "2001" this is Radar, the Earth media specialist of the Sandia Mountain Information Station, with reflections in visor of his EVA suit's helmet just like the movie's character Dr. David "Dave" Bowman.

Some things are what the P'nti call "universal joys"...something that brings a smile, a laugh, or an instinct to joyfully play that crosses species. Soap bubbles are one of those thing.

Equine Love

A Star Nation called the P'nti (say pon-tee) have been operating out of a facility beneath the Sandia Mountain in central New Mexico (USA) now for thousands of years. They have recently published a manual teaching Earth Humans how to improve their telepathic communication skills, as well as the protocol for inviting them for a visit. Now, people from all over the world are inviting them for a visit, receiving one, and then reporting back with evidence, some of them repeatedly. For more information, see officialfirstcontact.com.

Beam is one of the female blended P'nti visiting liaisons who recently completed the training program at the Sandia Mountain Information Station.

Jrooti was the first female P'nti that we were introduced to in late January, early February of 2015. Jrooti is one of their experienced cultural liaison and part of the all female mission team going out on CE5 visitation requests. Jrooti does not like her head cold and prefers the feel of silk scarves she has discovered here on Earth. In her off duty hours, Jrooti and other telepathic Star Nation friends visit the Amazon rain forest and telepathically merge with the large bird flocks there. They compete with each other forming moving images in the sky with thousands of birds at once in an art/sport called flykiting.

Commander Tlkm, manager of the Sandia Mountain Information Station was speaking about gestural languages being the most common form of communication in our galaxy when he shared this image.

Let me introduce you to Dell, Sandia Mountain Information Station's hangar chief...and faux grump. Dell is a perfect combination of today's Clint Eastwood, and (the original) MacGyver. He can fix anything, he runs a tight ship (a particle of dust would not *dare* to land on one of his shiny engines!), and he's responsible for fixing the damaged caused by certain speedy-junkie pilots. *cough* Radar *cough* However, when those fixed up Sunfish class ships, like the Delta Dawn II, need to go out for a test flight...it's usually Dell at the controls teaching those "kids" a thing or two about flying. Hey Dell, can you sneak us poor Earth-humans one of those nifty floating lights, like the one in your picture?

T'ni was introduced to us in June 2016 as our new telepathy teacher. She worked with us for a year translating the Telepathy 101 Primer, which was published in December 2017. Since then, the Primer has been translated into more than a dozen languages.

Sometimes you get some really fun questions from the newest trainees at the Sandia Mountain Information Station. One of my favorites is, "Did you learn moonwalking on the moon?"

Meet Radar - the P'nti's very own Renaissance man. Radar is one of the Sandia Mountain Information Station's pilots, he is a stellar cartographer, and Earth-media specialist. He also plays a mean rock-n-roll guitar. Radar has an eclectic wardrobe of styles seen in the entertainment industry throughout history. Not to mention his collection of hats...which will be viewed here at a later date. Stay tuned - you never know what might happen when Radar is involved!

Children are considered a blessed and sacred part of P'nti culture. Even before they are born, the parents, family and teachers telepathically beginning communicating and sharing with the child.

Zoot is a newly graduated trainee who is now beginning to work on one of the visiting mission team. When asked about his hat, he told us he always wore it backwards...unless he was in bright light, when he turns it right way around to use the brim to help shade his eyes. Zoot's favorite color is red...does it show?

Sarah (whose real name is actually pronounced "Ser-hah") is the Sandia Mountain Information Stations Official First Contact historian. She studied official first contacts on other worlds and brought her knowledge to help prepare us for Earth's OFC in the fall of 2021.

Mim is the resident artist of the Sandia Mountain Information Station and encourages the growth of artistic skills in Earth Humans who invite her for a visit.

This is Kit, one of the P'nti cultural liaisons of the Sandia Mountain Information Station. She is part of an all female team and truly anticipates being invited to experience the homes of her contactees. She confesses that she does sample the foods (especially good chocolate) offered by her Earth Human friends when she goes out on missions. In her off duty hours, Kit studies various Earth painting styles and enjoys trying her hand at imitating those techniques herself. She also likes visiting artists' homes and loves to sit quietly behind them for hours watching them work. She often teaches her Earth Human friends in their dreams, but honestly openly admits to being a dreamer herself.

Many individuals involved in volunteering to help move Earth toward it's Official First Contact (OFC) are familiar with Commander Tlkm, the P'nti manager of the Sandia Mountain Information Station. You can also help move Earth toward a positive OFC by proudly wearing a "I work for Tlkm" shirt. Those who have tell us people have stopped them on the street asking "Where did you get that shirt?" It's been a conversation starter for sure.

I love Sandia Moutains tshirt

One of the best combos out there, if you haven’t trield it give it a shot

Please allow us to introduce Cmdr. Tlkm, the Pnti who is in command of the Sandia Mountain Information Station. He has been charged with the monumental task of preparing Earth, her cultures, and her people, with preparation for Official First Contact by coordinating teaching for Earth-humans and visitations from the Pnti with Earth-humans...ask well as arranging for late night chocolate pickups from some friendly Earth telepathy students.

Jrooti, one of the Sandia Mountain information Station P'nti, asked for this portrait and requested this specific caption.

Our Zeta friends the P'nti continue to be extremely concerned about our world's oceans and the life within them. One of things Commander Tlkm (pictured) told us was that 75% of the Star Nation visitors coming to Earth do NOT come to see us Earth Humans. They come to because of our beautiful vast oceans. Our whales sing the oldest songs on this planet, and are legendary in this part of the galaxy. Here, Tlkm is consulting with the one of the whale nation elders about the health of Earth's oceans and how their people are handling the climate changes.

When you are far, far from your own world, Earth can seem like a lonely place. One of the P'nti trainees of the Sandia Mountain Information Station requested this portrait and wanted to let us know that as exciting as participating in a planet's Official First Contact is, sometimes they still really do miss home.

Say hello to Jrooti. No really - reach out and say hello. She's waiting to return the greeting to you, but she wonders...are you too afraid to reach out for someone who may not seem 'real' and convey a greeting? Hopefully not! Jrooti's mission at Sandia Mountain is Cultural Liaison, and that means getting Earth-humans ready to meet the Star Nations (specifically the Pnti), and getting them ready to meet Earth-humans. Help her in quest to bring understanding to both peoples.
