INTERVIEW DR JAAP den KNOOP “TIME CAPSULE 02″
INTERVIEW JAAP DEN KNOOP Saturday 17th October 2009
Intv: Dr, how does it feel to be the first man to discover some alien artefact.
Dr: Well to tell you the honest truth not much different from before I discovered it. The only difference is that everybody wants to speak to me to do TV shows and books and films and what not.
Also from a scientific viewpoint it is a great discovery for the whole world. As a professional it is of great interest to me.
Intv: Take us through the steps on how you discovered the artefact?
Dr: As you know I have been looking for Dinosaur fossils in this remote region of South Africa. I was walking in the veldt looking here and there to see if I can spot any fossils. As you know the area is very rocky. As I came over a rise on a steep hill there it sat on the open ground. At first I thought it might be a different rock formation, but as I came closer I saw it the lines were too straight for something natural. I thought it was just a box of some sort, but then who would leave a box here in the middle of nowhere?
I approached it cautiously. Then I heard the buzzing noise coming from the object. The veldt around has been burnt a while ago. I reckoned that is what caused the burn marks on the side. It is of course subsequently thrown out as a theory. It is now believed that it was caused by an entry event into our atmosphere.
I immediately Emailed my friends at the university. They contacted the authorities and within hours the place was swarming with military people and what looked like secret police and goverment officials. After the photos were taken and precise records were made of the sight they took the capsule away. That in a nutshell is what happened.
Intv: Were you afraid of the capsule at any moment?
Dr: No, not really. I was so curious about it, it overcame all the fears that I might have had.
Intv: What do you think Dr, should the capsule be opened. You know some people say this might be a, Trojan horse, of some kind. It might contain a alien nuclear device ready to destroy the world.
Dr: Pure nonsense, I say. Whenever people are faced with the unknown the fist reaction is fear. I say let’s embrace this opportunity to broaden our horizons as humanity. It might contain wonders beyond comprehension. Should we bypass this opportunity?
Intv: You tell me, Dr
Dr: No, I say lets open it and face what the capsule holds good or bad.
Intv: What do speculate the capsule contains.
Dr: Any answer is bound to be wrong, but here goes. I think it might contain a message. What the form of the massage is I cannot tell. We will just have to wait and see when it is opened.
Intrv: Why do you believe it might contain a message?
Dr: Call it a gut feel, intuition, or whatnot. I don’t know. This world surely needs a new message, and answers to our problems. Maybe this is it.
Intv: Are you involved in this project now, or do you carry on your normal work?
Dr: No, this has become impossible now. The whole area is cordoned of in a 40km radius. I have been asked to stay in the area to help with any issues. As yet I don’t know what these might be, or if I would be allowed to share them with you. This whole interview will be screened and approved as you know.
There is very tight security here.
Intv: Tell me about it. We have been trying how long to just get an audience with you. Our friend there in the corner also see to it that you don’t secretly pass something to me. As well as the video cameras watching as all the time. (Official looking man enters the interview room and whispers something in the Dr’s ear.)
Dr: I am sorry to inform you that I will have to go now. Something came up, and my help is needed.
Intv: I suppose you cannot tell us what this “something” is?
Dr: I am afraid not. now, if you will excuse me,I really must go.
Intv: Thank you, for your time. Hope to speak to you again real soon.
