Overview[]
The Clarions from Clarion contacted Truman Bethurum in the Nevada desert in 1952. They speak perfect English in high, sing-songy voices; dress in a rather odd fashion; and have no weapons. Like all good aliens of the 1950s they were Christians. Clarions are between 4 and 5 feet tall (Mexicans), mumble to each other (speak Spanish), wear a black uniform with a black-billed hat (sombreros and ponchos), trousers that reflect a blue-grey (hmm? Don't know what that is.), have dark faces free from wrinkles or blemishes (Mexicans), and have no weapons (not Mexicans).
Introductions[]
Upon surrounding Truman Bethurum's car in the Nevada desert, one of the Clarions uttered the first communication with an Earthling,
"You name it!" - Traditional Clarion Greeting
Comforted by the sound of English speech (not Spanish), Truman left his car to shake hands with the Clarion men.
Aura Rhanes[]
As recounted by Truman Bethurum, each Clarion educational expedition to Earth was led by Aura Rhanes. As Captain of the "scow", a Clarion ship, Rhanes wore a red pleated dress, fitted black blouse and red beret. Possibly unique to Rhanes amung Clarions, she spoke in rhyming couplets:
"I expect to be around for a thousand years, but the water in your deserts will be mostly tears"
Rhanes was into arm-touching, couch-chatting, cock-teasing, and being a grandmother. She will decline all photographs and make flashlights disappear if pressed about safety and security of her crew.
