Correspondence between Jose Antonio Campoy and Ignacio Darnaude y Rojas Marcos regarding UAP contactee reports

This document consists of an exchange of letters between Jose Antonio Campoy of Heptada Ediciones and Ignacio Darnaude y Rojas Marcos in August and September 1988. In the initial letter dated August 24, 1988, Campoy requests that Darnaude provide a summary of contactee cases for a new magazine directed by Dr. Fernando Jimenez del Oso. Campoy expresses interest in cases involving telepathy, automatic writing, or direct contact, particularly those involving apocalyptic messages or themes related to the end of the world. He notes that he was referred to Darnaude by Enrique de Vicente and Andreas Faber Kaiser. In his response dated September 3, 1988, Darnaude provides a critical and skeptical perspective on the 'contactee' phenomenon. He mentions several prominent figures in the field, including Jacques Vallee, Brad Steiger, and R. Leo Sprinkle, noting that they have only timidly begun to study the 'Contact Syndrome.' Darnaude argues that the phenomenon is not a result of hallucinations but rather a deliberate, orchestrated effort by intentional agents to influence human targets. He describes the messages received by contactees as a form of psychological warfare designed to manipulate human mentality, attitudes, and behavior, while promoting a 'neganthropic' ideal and 'spirituality' over materialism. Darnaude characterizes the entire contactee movement as a massive, planet-wide information operation controlled by 'cosmic powers' or 'executives,' which he refers to as 'Operación Contacto.' He expresses frustration with the lack of critical awareness among the general public, whom he describes as being subjected to a collective brainwashing process. Darnaude concludes by acknowledging the difficulty of summarizing such a complex and 'historically unprecedented' topic in a few pages, suggesting that the subject warrants a full volume rather than a brief report.
