Elizabeth Klarer

Elizabeth Klarer (* 1910 Mooi River , Natal ; † 1994 ) claimed to have met a UFO several times between 1954 and 1963 and to have been invited by aliens to their home planet, where she is said to have had a child by an alien.

Life

Elizabeth Klarer was born in Mooi River in 1910, where she grew up on a farm. She later trained as a meteorologist at Cambridge and studied music at Trinity College .

During the Second World War , she worked for the South African Air Force Intelligence Service and participated in the decoding of communications in the Third Reich .

There is evidence that she gave birth to two children and also claimed to have given birth to an alien-human hybrid named Ayling , who is believed to live on a strange planet in the Alpha Centauri system named Meton .

Case description

UFO Event: Elizabeth Klarer
Country:	South Africa
Place:	Drakensberg
Date:	17th July 1955
Object:	Flying saucer
Hynek classification :	CE-4

At the age of seven, Elizabeth Klarer claimed to have seen a spaceship in the sky near her apartment. From then on, there should have been repeated telepathic communication between Elizabeth and Akon , a member of the crew of the spacecraft.

In April 1956 the spaceship is said to have reappeared in the Drakensberg and Elizabeth Klarer said she was on board the spaceship.

The shiny silver spaceship was completely round, about 60 meters in diameter, with a very large fuselage and a flat dome surrounded by portholes.

In November 1957 Klarer re-entered the spaceship to meet her lover Akon.

His appearance is human, but his breed is on average larger and generally very good-looking. All were simply dressed and had stated that they were still considered young at the age of 2000. In character, the aliens are considerate and gentle, not aggressive or violent.

After she returned to earth, Elizabeth Klarer is said to have been harassed for eight and a half months, mainly by American and Soviet secret service employees, including attempts at kidnapping.

Therefore Akon is said to have reappeared and brought her to his home solar system, Alpha Centauri, on the planet Meton, where she claims to have lived with him for four months.

Meton is said to be of a similar size to the earth and covered with large seas, with only islands and not continents.

According to her information, Elizabeth Klarer gave birth to her child Ayling on Meton. However, because of the air pressure on Meton, her heart was unable to adapt, which is why she was forced to return to Earth.

Elizabeth Klarer was never able to produce any evidence for her claims.

In his book Extraterrestrials and the American Zeitgeist: Alien Contact Tales Since the 1950s , the American historian Aaron John Gulyas notes that the gender balance in Elizabeth Klarer's narrative corresponds to the preferred image in the mid-20th century: the "alien" man presented to Akon to be active, possessive and caring, but most of all as determining. The sexual moment in Beyond the Light Barrier , Gulyas continues, is always linked to reproduction and race. Elizabeth Klarer describes the Metoner as beings with “the ascetic features of an ancient race, they displayed the graceful dignity and the cheerful serenity of centuries of pure reproduction and correct thought and life.” They corresponded to a genetically understood “pure type” of the "white man" ( Caucasian ).

Gulyas also states that Elizabeth Klarer's book represented an attempt to revive the “values” of the 1950s in the face of the upheavals at the beginning of the 1970s - also and especially in South Africa . The author argues for the submission of black South Africans, for racial segregation and traditional gender roles at a time when the politics of apartheid came under increasing criticism and the newly strengthened feminist movement was questioning the traditional power relationship between men and women. In the form of an “intergalactic love romance”, the author was able to express her fears and prejudices under cover. Her narrative, Gulyas concludes, shows that reports of contacts with aliens always relate to the circumstances of the time of the narrator and serve as a vehicle for different ideas about the solution of current social or political problems perceived as crisis-ridden.
