Ludwig Pallmann meets Satu Ra on the Bombay-Madras express (from Alien Base)
1964 ยท night express from Bombay to Madras, India
Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.
What was reported
Condensed from Pallmann's 1970 book Cancer Planet Mission in Good's Alien Base, as summarised by reviewer Prier Wintle: on the night express from Bombay to Madras in October 1964 the German businessman shared whisky with a man he took for a leftover English sahib, then noticed his very long legs and fingers with protected tips and a voice coming from a device clipped to his chest. He gave his name as Satu Ra from Cotosoti on Itibi Ra II. They met again in several Indian cities; Satu Ra summoned his sister Xiti, a gliding beauty with an orange half-veil, no fingernails and no teeth, who twice spent the night with Pallmann. The visitors claimed South American plantations for hybridising plants. Xiti reportedly died aged about 250 on another expedition.
What Hind made of it
Wintle treats it as an example of Good's uncritical anecdotes, footnoting that the planet-numbering style matches L Ron Hubbard's space fiction.
Explanation offered
Reviewer hints at fiction via the Hubbard convention (Earth would be 'Blito P3')
