Anthon
At the contactee-oriented Rocky Mountain
Conference on UFO Investigation held in
Laramie, Wyoming, in May 1982, Ken
McLean read a statement from “a Mr. Watanabe,”
who claimed to be an extraterrestrial living
in a human body. His true name was Anthon,
and he was in his third earthly
incarnation. The first was during the Revolutionary
War, he said. He was one of 150,000
“incarnate beings” living on our planet and
observing our activities. These beings telepathically
communicated their findings to
space people both on the surface of our planet
and in our upper atmosphere.
According to Anthon, we are now entering
the end of an age that began with Jesus’ appearance,
though Anthon believes Jesus was
not the Son of God but “the only human
being to have incarnated through enough lifetimes
and enough karmic experiences to transcend
death. . . . He is in charge of the transition
into a ‘New Age’ which will occur
sometime in the near future.”
Anthon claimed that many incarnate beings
do not know their true identity; thus they
have to be awakened to it.

Antron
Driving along a section of highway between
Jacksonville and Callahan, Florida, one August
night in 1974, businesswoman Lydia
Stalnaker saw a bright, flashing light just
above some nearby treetops. A suffocating
sensation enfolded her, and she lost consciousness.
When she awoke, she was still behind
the wheel, but on a different road. Soon
she learned that three hours, for which she
could not account, had passed. Under hypnosis
in May 1975, she “recalled” being taken
into a spacecraft, where aliens told her that
another woman would be placed inside her
body. She saw the woman sitting on the other
side of a table from her. Stalnaker’s head was
placed inside some kind of mechanical device,
and she passed out. When she revived, a
spaceman told her she was now one of them.
He escorted her out of the ship, and she returned
to her car.
Subsequently, Stalnaker claimed, she found
that she had extraordinary psychic gifts that
allowed her to read other people’s minds and
to practice paranormal healing. Before long
Stalnaker was channeling the alien woman,
who called herself Antron. Antron reported
that she was from a “star galaxy.” She had
come to prepare earthlings for a great cataclysm.
“We want to take the good people with
us to recolonize elsewhere,” she said (Beckley,
1989).

Anunnaki
Ancient-astronaut theorist Zecharia Sitchin,
author of a series of books under the rubric
The Earth Chronicles, argues that a race of humanlike
beings, the Anunnaki, live on the
planet Nibiru (also known as Maldek), the alleged
twelfth planet of our solar system.
Though unknown to astronomers, Nibiru, on
an elliptical orbit, circles our sun every 3,600
years. According to Sitchin, Nibiru will be in
our immediate planetary space in the near fu-
