26 Arna and Parz
Arna and Parz
Between 1976 and 1980 a family at Oakenholt
in northern Wales underwent a complex
series of extraordinary experiences. Perhaps
the first event involved six-year-old Gaynor
Sunderland, who, while playing in a field one
summer afternoon, spotted a cigar-shaped
craft resting on the ground. She saw a man in
a spacesuit walking in front of the object,
using a gunlike device to burn holes into the
ground. Apparently caught by surprise, the
being stared at her, and Gaynor had the impression
that he was probing her mind. An
angry-looking woman appeared alongside
him, and Gaynor felt the same sensation of
mind-intrusion. Hearing noises from within
the craft, the woman returned to the spacecraft,
and the young girl took the opportunity
to flee. Many other bizarre UFO incidents involving
all five Sunderland children as well as
their parents took place subsequently.
In February 1979 Gaynor glimpsed two
smiling beings who had appeared in some
nearby bushes and then vanished when she
turned away. On June 24 she encountered the
same alien couple in a sort of out-of-body experience.
Lying in bed at 11 P.M., she saw the
ceiling open into a tunnel, sucking her in toward
a distant light. Once she reached the end
of the journey, the couple—now accompanied
by a small boy—greeted her. The woman was
named Arna, the man Parz. They gave her a
tour of their world, showing her a stream as
well as some vegetation unlike anything on
Earth. Their manner was courteous but not
particularly warm. When Arna touched
Gaynor’s hand, the visitor witnessed a great
city under a red sun and unclouded blue sky.
All of the people in the city looked young.
After the vision faded, Arna said good-bye via
telepathy and promised another meeting.
Gaynor returned to the tunnel and ended up
in her bed.
A few weeks later, in August, Arna reappeared
to display images of a destroyed Earth.
She asked Gaynor for her assistance in directing
an energy being back to its proper residence.
Gaynor, her brother Darren, and her
parents walked to a field and meditated until
they sensed that the intruder was gone.
On the night of September 14, Arna and
Parz appeared and took Gaynor into their
spacecraft. Besides the couple she knew, there
were three others. One looked so close to
being purely human that Gaynor wondered if
the young woman, who looked to be about
nineteen years of age, was some kind of hybrid.
Gaynor noticed a picture on the wall of
a male being like Parz, only older. He was
standing by a globe of a planet that clearly was
not Earth. The ship flew into space. Half an
hour later Arna and Parz told her that it had
reached its destination, which turned out to
be a kind of zoo full of bizarre creatures, all of
them in twos. The animals were not in cages
and had a great deal of space in which to wander.
Finally, the sights were too unsettling for
Gaynor, and her hosts permitted her to return
to the ship. Before they parted, however,
Gaynor learned that Arna and Parz were
“about 3500 of your years old” (Randles and
Whetnall, 1981).
Gaynor sensed somehow that she had not
really been in space. What she had experienced
were vivid mental images that the aliens
had beamed into her brain. At the same time,
she was certain that she had not dreamed any
of this; it was much too real and had none of
the distinguishing characteristics of dreams.

Artemis
Artemis hails from the planet Miranda, located
in an uncharted region of the Milky
Way galaxy. He and the thirteen thousand beings
on his team orbit Earth in a giant space
platform, focusing their attention on most of
the North American continent. Other spaceships
from other places attend to the rest of
Earth. Artemis, who channeled through Anthony
and Lynn Volpe in 1981, said that he
