This is a letter which Philip K. sent to his colleague and friend, Mr. Einhorn
On the matter of V-A-L-I-S
Stand-in for Vast Active Living Intelligence Systems
Which the author called Zebra because of its ability to camouflage itself
[Instrumental]
February 10th, 1978
Dear Mr. Einhorn
I would like to go into other aspects of my March '74 experience
With Soviet psychotronic transmissions
But what I'm now going to really say
Lies outside the purview of the electronic
And may be of no interest to you
[Instrumental]
At the time, I was being zapped
By the high-energy Soviet transmissions
There was, in my apartment, a blue light emitting haze
Very much like St. Elmo's Fire
It crept up the walls and down the walls
And it was, at the same time, inside me
It did seem to be a form of ionization or electricity
Which fits in with the notion of Soviet psychotronic beaming
However
And you'll see now why I was reluctant to mention this in my previous letter
It seemed real, it pulsed in a regular way
And it was so conducting itself as to mimic normal objects and processes
In September of last year
I delivered a speech in Metz, France as guest of honor
At a convention on the topic of Zebra
Naturally, I represented it as a fictional topic for my new novel
But I also stepped forth, as it were
And claimed actual existence for Zebra
Here is how Zebra fits in with Tesla's experiences
[Instrumental]
Zebra seemed to be an ETI lifeform
Or perhaps, more accurately
A lifeform from some high layer of Earth's atmosphere
Attracted by or potentiated by the Soviet microwave psychotronic transmission
It seemed to fight off and interact
With an interplanetary communications grid
That utilized plasmatic lifeforms as stations
Stations containing and transmitting vast amounts of information
[Instrumental]
In addition, Zebra did not seem bound by either time or space
At the instant it entered my head
It carried me back two thousand years to a Greco-Roman world
And it brought me forward again, effortlessly
[Instrumental]
Zebra informed me that it had seen the conspirators
And that it would destroy them
It became clear in later visual projections
That Nixon and his people were the conspirators mentioned
Zebra also informed me that the conspirators had murdered
Dr. King, the Kennedy brothers
And my own personal former friend, Bishop James A. Pike
I had the distinct impression during all this
That I was dealing with a form of intelligent electricity
If you can imagine that
Dear Mr. Einhorn
I hope this has been of some interest to you
Cordially, Philip K.
