Chacho the Author 337come back in a virnana, which was a smaller craft enough
for two or three people.
We ascended again, but at a lesser speed, flying over
the Andes Mountains, once more at an extreme altitude.
I could see some commercial jetliners way below us as
tiny specks of light, their surfaces and expanded wings
reflecting the sun.
As we descended gradually, I saw in the distance a
great expanse of water. Rarna said it was the Titicaca
Lake and that we would be entering it. My eyes opened
wide as I saw the lake approaching. I was expecting some
kind of crash or a marked change as we penetrated the
surface tension of the water, but it was a smooth entry,
nothing resembling a crash.
We traveled underwater, the UFO navigating like a
sophisticated submarine, until we carne to a UFO base
under the lake, which was like a whole city. The crew
leader said this was the base that Rarna had told me
about when I first met her.
Suddenly we were in the air again. The only sensation
I felt during this transition was a slight change in
density. As we flew through the clouds, I saw ice covered
mountains in the distance. I recognized them as the icy
peaks found about 25 miles from Huancayo and saw the
Mantaro Valley with its river slicing through the center
of it.
We landed close to the ice peaks, where Rarna's virnana
was waiting for us. I thanked the crew leader for the
tour. He said we would see each other again in a few
days.
Ram a and I flew to Chiclayo then, in a vim ana that had
been left hidden behind some sand hills. When we
returned to where the car had been left earlier, I was still
in a daze. It was hard to believe I had flown in two UFOs.
It had been the experience of my life.
