"The mother-ship" first part
by Giorgio Dibitonto

When we find ourselves in front of such an unusual and humanly inexplicable spectacle – as the one I described in the chapter six of “Angels in starships” – we felt so amazed that all the inner and outward faculties of our person seem to be suspended and inactive. We are only able to watch and admire to penetrate what happens.

The starship that at the beginning of 1980 approached and landed in the fields on the high grounds of Spotorno was able to engrave in the eyes and the hearts of those who witnessed it, an image that can never be erased. And therefore the sensations, emotions and feelings that this vision sprung from the deep are still alive after many years and will remain forever.

I believe that something similar was experienced, in ancient times, when those who found themselves in front of the “cloud” described in the Bible. Ezekiel saw the great “cloud” and described it in the first chapter of his biblical book.

«And I looked», he wrote, «and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire».

When I did the sighting and had the close encounter with the mother-ship at Spotorno, I did not know Ezekiel’s book or even his vision. Later on when I read it I was amazed with the resemblance of some of the things that were shown to me. I had seen the mother-ship and Ezekiel had seen the great cloud. I saw four flying discs coming out from the starship and Ezekiel describes four human creatures.

The prophet describes the “cloud” as in the midst of a whirlwind of fire shining all around it and there is a lightening of incandescent electron. “Electron” is the Greek word for “Amber”. Amber is a substance, that if rubbed with a lot of friction produces a lot of electric energy. The prophet saw the cloud which strongly rubbed the air producing incandescent brightness of lighting energy. At Spotorno we saw a similar thing and described it in the same way as the biblical quotation: “The light (of the cigar-shaped starship) grew in intensity, and now we could see the it quite clearly. It was dozens of meters long, (perhaps 100-120) and at its thickest girth reached almost to the height of the trees behind it. A long row of round portholes emitted coloured lights that lit up the area where the object was resting. After a few minutes, the whole object looked as colourful and brightly illuminated as a ship starting out on an ocean voyage. We were spellbound as we watched the play of coloured light that now seemed to come from all sides, as if from fountains, whose sources we could not determine”.

“The glow of the cigar-shaped form grew even brighter, and then, before our eyes, a play of light appeared from the porthole, it was truly a festival of luminous beauty. That light and those colours, the rhythmically dancing beams touched our innermost being with a poignancy impossible to describe”.

After witnessing this it seems that Ezekiel also described a similar reality. In “Angels in starship” I wrote: “From one end of this ray-ship out came, four flying discs, one after the other shining so brightly appearing more like globes of white light. They hovered, and gently set themselves down on the open place in the meadow between us and the big “cigar”. The four doors (of the discs) opened, and out came men and women”. As George Adamski rightly comments in his third book “Flying Saucers Farewell”, chapter 10 “The Bible and the UFO”, the prophet Ezekiel describes in the same way both the spaceships and those who descended from them. He talks about “four living creatures” who “had the likeness of a man”. He describes the flying disc: “And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning. Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces. The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl, and they four had one likeness, and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went. As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four”.

The “wheel in the middle of a wheel” of Ezekiel corresponds to the flange and the dome of the starship seen by Adamski and countless other people. The “eyes round about” correspond to the portholes. The prophet writes that he was in front of the glory of the Lord and those creatures were driven out by the strength of the spirit. “When the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them, for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels”.

Ezekiel is therefore describing spiritual creatures who have the power to move, fly and lift up the wheels which we call today flying discs. He speaks about Angels, doesn't he? When George Adamski, in the book and chapter already cited, says that man has already shot at flying discs, he wonders whether they have fired at Angels. Both Ezekiel and Adamski speak about the Glory of the Lord and the appearance of the Angels in cosmic shapes. “Angels in starships” similarly describes these visions and these contacts and tells us that those Brothers said they were the Angels of the Bible.

In Tobia's biblical book, the archangel Raphael appears as a young man named Azaria, then we should not wonder why at Spotorno the Angels appear as men and women with a name. Extraterrestials means that they come from extraterrestial worlds and dimensions. They recalled the reliance pact that God made with man through Noah, which is written in Genesis, and they told us that the clouds prophesied in that occasion for the time of the end or the beginning of God 's reign , were heavenly starships or the Glory of the Lord. It is written: “«Read», [Raphael] persisted, «read and meditate carefully every word [of the pact of God with Noah in Genesis]. God said to Noah: “When I bring my clouds over the earth and the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud, then I will remember my covenant which is between me and you and every living creature of all kinds, and never again shall the waters become a flood to destroy all flesh”».

“Do you not think [explained Raphael] that the appearance of our craft in your skies becomes more frequent? We assure you: God the Father has told us, that the time is now at hand in which He has determined to call forth the flagships of the true children of Earth and soon the rainbow will be seen above them, in order that the covenant between us and the Father may be known to all, a covenant which will also be extended to the children of Earth. We will be on the ships from heaven and before you all the One [Jesus Christ] who promised to come in the clouds of heaven in glory and power. He will take you with us back to Eden to dwell in his garden again».” Only later on I read Jesus words in the Gospel of Matthew (chapter 24):” And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man [Jesus Christ] in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other”. (verses 30-31) “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be”. (verse 37)
