Official First Contact

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.

The Sasquatch can use any forest animal, any bird to use when it needs to "look through the eyes of another." They have an extra special relationship with some of the larger owl species. This portrait of the Sasquatch gently stroking the breast feathers of a great horned owl reflects this deep friendship between the two nations.

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?

This is Jrooti, one of the P'nti liaisons from the Sandia Mountain information station caught in a quiet meditative moment.

The Sasquatch study the night sky in great detail and share with their children the knowledge that they've gained.

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?

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

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.

Who's behind that black stare? What manner of man is this? Part Jedi? Part Security Chief? Part...kitten rescuer in fuzzy slippers? Yes! To all of the above! This is Tht (Thought). He is the Head of Security for the Sandia Mountain Information Station and proud companion to "Lost Kitty - Hairball of Light," the weeks old kitten he rescued outside the station one day not long ago. Now this telekinesis wielding Security Head must protect his tender toes from the sharp claws of a playful kitten by wearing fuzzy bunny slippers. Surely, those lenses hide nothing but the kindest eyes in the galaxy, right? We may soon find out - check back later!

When most people think of Bigfoot or Sasquatch, they picture full grown adult males. They often do not stop to consider the gals, nor the children. This portrait is of the close up of a young Sasquatch boy (on a windy day) who's image was captured as he was investigating the the lens of a trail cam.

Sasquatch youngsters love them just as much as Earth Human children do.

Our Zeta friend, Commander Tlkm requested this portrait in late June of 2019. He made us aware that he occasionally visits and consults with the great Elephant Nation elders. On his last trip, one of their youngsters approached him and Tlkm automatically reached out to touch and speak gently with this brave baby elephant. The P'nti remind us that not all sentient nations use hands to build things. For our Zeta friends, writing and construction are not the only measures of intelligence. Some of these nations have advanced beyond the need.

Whether you are age 2 and Earth Human or age 2 and Sasquatch, playing in puddles and streams is just not something you can pass up.

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.

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.

Meet Grayson, or as he is known by numerous of his fellows, Grayspeare. Grayson is a cultural liaison at the Sandia Mountain Information Station. One of his favorite literary icons is none other than Earth's own Williams Shakespeare. Don't let this contemplative look fool you; he is also quite the jokester. Like all P'nti he loves to laugh and have fun. You might well imagine that here in his portrait he is pondering the eternal question, "To prank, or not to prank. That is the question."

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.

Jll (say Jah-el) is one of the visiting liaison specialists working under the Sandia Mountain. Jll is an accomplished musician and plays an instrument similar to a harp bak home.

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?"

Sasquatch or Bigfoot's really big foot caught in mid-step.

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?"

Chensapa or Black Tree is one of the Sasquatch clan members who reside in the mountains west of Taos, New Mexico. He and his tribe are part of the bigfoot population found above 9000 feet elevation at the southern end of the Colorado Rockies. Black Tree received his name because, as a youngster, he witnessed lightning strike a tall pine very close to him and watched as it went up in flames, ending in nothing but a dark black spire pointing skyward. The power of the event struck him so hard he took on the name Black Tree or Chensapa.

Hasapa (Blackskin) is part of the Longnose Sasquatch clan residing in north central New Mexico's Valles Caldera, an extinct super volcano at the southern end of the Rocky Mountain's.

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.

Zufu often is on the information desk at the Sandia Station early in the mornings answering questions from the public. Straightforward with a wry sense of humor, Zufu often helps with sharing words and phrases from his language. Most often, when he first hops onto Twitter in the predawn hours, you will see him ask, "Dkyw Kwh, cjcj whh?" (Good morning Blue Water People, what's up?"

Orth, one of the P'nti of the Sandia Mountain Information Station helped us understand that our Zeta friends accept and embrace homosexuality within their culture. Orth told us that there were more genders out in the Milky Way Galaxy than we knew and when it comes to the expression of that, he smiled and simply said, "Love is love is love."

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.
