The Girl Who Ran Away With ET

Document Structure

Clauses

Unlike Debunked, almost two thirds of The Girl Who Ran Away With ET are devoted to a complete transcript of Ta'zhen's interview with Nat, upon her squeezing in some moments to talk to him. The first third is therefore a recounting of data preceding and immediately following her disappearance, as well as analysis of the analysis OSW had diligently gathered on the case. This book includes two appendices, reprinting and discussing initial scientific studies on a sample of Medical Gel that Ta'zhen had given him. The index is divided both alphabetically and by topic, especially for subjects discussed in the interview.

References

The primary reference, and the bulk of the book, is an interview Atrella conducted with Ta'zhen, which is also available on his website and his YouTube channel for free. (The interview, coincidentally, also helped sell copies of the book based on it.) The early recap chapters also cite police reports and data from the Ohio Saucer Watch website, which are also accessible for free. Occasionally, references to other, tangentially-related cases are made throughout the text.

Publication Status

The book is publicly accessible, and quickly becomes a best-seller.

Historical Details

History

This is a sequel of sorts to Debunked, and follows on the heels of an interview Atrella conducted with Ta'zhen upon her return, touching on all manner of subjects pertaining to the alien civilization with which she had integrated herself. Ta'zhen's endorsement of this account as "definitive" on the subject contributes to Atrella selling more copies, and rocketing the case in the news as possibly "a gold standard case".

Public Reaction

In keeping with the ethos behind Debunked (as the peculiarity of selling "guaranteed proof of ET visitation" became apparent to him), Atrella sold The Girl Who Ran Away With ET at cost, and it became a modern shot heard around the world. In the UFO community it erased Atrella's reputation as an "evil debunker on a disinformation mission", and he became the teller of "the greatest abduction case in history" (against Ta'zhen's wishes (and to Atrella's irritation), see the contents). People wanting the whole story picked up copies of Debunked wherever they could. The story sparked immediate and intense debate on topics ranging from religion and aliens to whether or not the Stenza mean us well. The matter is just beginning to become political.

Legacy

In short, this book put Esterholt on the map in a bigger way than Ta'zhen's disappearance did, and for longer. Esterholt rapidly built a new tourist industry centered on the case, billing itself as "the gateway to the universe" and "the Roswell of the Great Lakes". While this was never Atrella's attention, this effect did cross his mind. He has yet to comment. Ta'zhen, now a very busy person, has not commented either.

(Excerpt)
Ta'zhen: First of all, I don't wanna be called an abductee. I ran away because I chose to, I wasn't picked up off some rural backroad in the woods. And I don't really wanna say I'm a contactee either. That implies this, like, pattern of, 'oh aliens are our friends but we have to stop being scary first' and other such messages and weirdly white-looking "good guy" aliens.
Atrella: So what do you call yourself?
Ta'zhen: I'm not sure yet. Is there a term in UFO literature for anything like that?
Atrella: Not that I know of. See, it's common for people to say "I was taken up into the stars" or "aboard their craft" or so on and then never have proof, let alone remember the incident. Until, that is, a hypnotist comes along and calmly guides them through some narrative or other about aliens performing harsh medical tests on them. So yours is something of a stand-out case.
Ta'zhen: laughing Does this mean I get to make up the word?
Atrella: Maybe you'll think of something good. Now, on to some business. The gel that your prosthesis is made out of, what exactly is it?
Ta'zhen: It's a medical gel, a multi-purpose substance that they derived from the Ice Flats, even though we don't really understand all its components. We know it works, for the various things we have it do.
Atrella: Such as?
Ta'zhen: Replace limbs, patch up wounds, fill in the blanks if too much is missing, help people sleep off surgery.
Atrella: So you get a lot of use out of it.
Ta'zhen: Yeah.

(Excerpt)
Ta'zhen: So, I read the book, and there's something I want to know. How come these contactee types call aliens shit like "Venusian", "Martian", "Saturnian", "Centaurian", "Pleiadean"? That's all relative to a human-invented understanding of the cosmos. Those are human-invented words. Someone actually from Venus will have their own name for the planet. They have their own name for the Sun or whatever star they orbit.
Atrella: In your experience?
Ta'zhen: In my experience, and it makes logical sense. Mudewei is too far off for you guys to see it but if you could, you'd call the galaxy some shit like, I dunno, Sagittarii-something or other, depending on where you find it. But we're sure as shit not gonna call it that. We call it kuierae, which means "many stars", or erapai which means the same but in a religious context.

(Excerpt)
Atrella: What was the hardest part to get used to?
Ta'zhen: Going to the bathroom.
Atrella: Really!
Ta'zhen: Yeah. Actually, all that really mundane shit that you take for granted in the course of your life. Eating, drinking, hygiene, where you're gonna sleep... I basically had to relearn how to live in that first year, and at the start it was extremely difficult, and I kept asking myself why I didn't just turn around and go home and pretend this never happened.
Atrella: Why didn't you?
Ta'zhen: It was the thrill of having escaped her, really. The relief and peace that came with a spontaneous decision to put such an unfathomable distance between myself and my mother.
