Venusian who replaced a woman, her exact
physical double, who had committed suicide
in a New York hotel on September 24, 1960.
As she was brought to Earth that night, she
lost all memory of her life on Venus, “a world
of Love” (VIVenus, 1982). The memories returned
seven years later, and she embarked on
a mission to reform this corrupt, cruel planet.
From Christmas 1974 until mid-1982, Viv
walked an average of ten miles a day and
preached the cosmic gospel to whoever would
listen. When she wasn’t preaching, she was
playing guitar and singing interplanetary
hymns. In 1980, she campaigned for her favorite
presidential candidate under the slogan
“It’s Not Odd to Vote for God” (Shoemaker,
1980).

Volmo
Ted Rice grew up in rural Alabama. Early in
life he learned that he had psychic abilities, and
he was aware of what he took to be spirit guides
but later identified as extraterrestrials. One of
these was a reptoid entity named Vo l m o.
Volmo communicated spiritual truths to
Rice as he slept. It was only when he saw Vo l m o
that he re a l i zed Volmo was not an angel but a
g rotesque-looking alien. Under hypnosis, in an
ostensible reliving of his first physical enc
o u n t e r, he re m a rked that Volmo “just isn’t
h u m a n .. . . He’s really tall . . . six and a half feet
t a l l . . . and massive. He’s got a strong, powe rf u l
b o d y, and it’s dark colored, dull gray or olive
b row n . . . . T h e y’re dark, sort of ye l l ow - g o l d ,
with sharp teeth. . . . T h e re are only three or
four fingers on each hand, and I think they’re
webbed. The hands look clawlike, because he’s
got these long, pointed nails on each fin g e r. ”
