But all that changed on June 11, 1997, at 2:32 a.m. when he was abducted by aliens at the age of 62. Krapf was told he would be allowed to remember many things about the future and the impending formal alien contact with mankind.

Krapf spent the next three days being indoctrinated into a fascinating New World by extraterrestrials called "Verdants."

What the author learned was that these alien beings, who have been observing Earth for 1000 years, had decided that the time has come for mankind to be invited into the Intergalactic Federation of Sovereign Planets. The reason for now is due to the American space program.

Hundreds of prominent world citizens have been and are being recruited to serve as emissaries to help smooth the way for the eventual extraterrestrial-terrestrial contact that is planned to occur by the end of the first decade of the 21st century, which is around the year 2010.

According to the author, the Verdants are selecting two groups of people. The first group are well-known people with one thing in common -- credibility and the power to personally influence large segments of the population.

Each person is being assigned a specific function toward the ultimate goal of preparing the masses of people on Earth for inevitable contact.
