Journey to
another world: planet Acart - where to Artur Berlet was taken or
abducted for many days
It was seven o'clock in the
evening. The long road and dark dirt road was
becoming heavy. In one day on photo work of May
1958, Artur Berlet, a tractordriver of the inner
city, Sarandi was going. But before he had
completing the 18 kilometers that connected the
town of Natalino the county seat, he was faced
with an intense light in the bushes by the
roadside. Curious, he crossed the barbed wire
fence and saw a round object, with about thirty
feet in diameter. Stealthily, figures by and
inside the object, and a them a stream of bright
light beam was causing him to lose
consciousness. From there on, the family and
friends of Arthur were eight long days without
any knowledge of what had happened to him.
Travel
An extensive and detailed account
of a journey to another planet gave rise to a
flurry of speculation and even jokes in the
northern region of the state. Arthur would had
been abducted by more than a week, led by a
spaceship to a planet called Acart. From this
experience was born the work From utopia to
reality - real trip to another planet. In
the manuscripts of 422 pages, written by pencil,
Arthur describes historical and scientific facts
that now have been discovered also here on
Earth, over these 50 years. The story became
known as " Berlet-case," and some of the leading
UFO researchers worldwide investigated the
matter.(Esp.W.Stevens.)
According to the
manuscripts, (book found online in pdf here, and upreading here) - Artur
Berlet ended up in this planet called Acart, 62
million miles from Earth. In the book, Arthur
regained consciousness in a bed, with people
moving around him. Two men led him to the exit
by a door, where he could observe the perplexing
nature outside, as they were now on firm ground,
in a strange place. "I had the impression that I
had lost half of my weight and at the same time
that my shoulders had increased in volume," he
wrote. He also says that, as he tried to
communicate by different languages, and also
a few words in German, one of the men
understood the language, and so it came to be a
communication between them. This man had been
many times on Earth, and had then learned
German, and so this man became his main contact
on that planet. During the eight days he spent
on the planet, Arthur describes details on their
super crowded cities, the water "as light as
gas," the local transport by air, the weapons
used by the inhabitants, as disintegrating
weapons, and what they called ‘solar
neutralizers’. On the return trip, unlike the
way TO Acart, Arthur agreed to stay conscious
most of the time. He claims he took a pill, like
the one that other crew members did, and so
slept in "the zones of magnetic turbulence" in
space.
The ship left the field, five miles
from Sarandi. Arthur went home and took a week
to sort the confused ideas and make sketches and
notes on the trip. After writing by hand all the
adventure from the days he lived on another
planet, Artur Berlet published the book, with a
preface and epilogue of two important
ufologists. Fifty years later, the editor of From
utopia to reality - real trip to another
planet, can only be found in the National
Library of Rio de Janeiro and the municipal
libraries of São Paulo and Curitiba. There are
still some copies belonging to the daughter of
Arthur, Ana Berlet, who still lives in Sarandi,
who has a photographic studio, and is the main
disseminator of the story of his father, who
died in 1980.
The case becomes known
In
1972, Arthur was invited by scholars of ufology
to give a speech in Germany about his
extraterrestrial experience. In May this year,
the International UFO Museum, History and
Science, during the National Week of Museums,
together with IPHAN, Institute for National
Artistic Patrimony, would present an exhibition
on the ‘Case Berle’. "Artur Berlet, the
cowboy who traveled to another planet - 50
years of history" was an exhibition
of documentary material, photographs from the
personal archives of Artur Berlet, a roadmap
drawn up with the chronological order of events,
the original manuscripts, notebooks that
totalling 422 pages, plus the camera, which,
according to Arthur, was carried with to the
planet Acart.
Reports
such as Artur Berlet’s, has been studied for
years by scientists and by the UFO community.
NASA, National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, invests millions of dollars in
research related to life on other planets. And
the same question for centuries, produces
numerous speculations: Can life exist beyond
Earth? For Alvaro Becker Rose, who teaches
physics classes at the University of
Passo Fundo, scientists do not doubt that
there really is life on other planets, but the
big question is about intelligent life. There is
no scientific evidence of intelligent beings
living outside our planet, but science does not
rule out this possibility.
Cases like Artur Berlet are
disruptive, according to Alvaro. "This man came
with a flood of information, saying that he had
visited another planet, and today, in the eyes
of science - we can see that SO much of what he
wrote, has actually been discovered thru
the later years, for example, monocrystalline
silicon," he says. He adds: "Artur Berlet was a
very humble origin, semi-illiterate and would
not be able to 'invent' the events with great
detail described in the book, had it not been perceived
and experienced.
