The live alien that had been taken from the 1949 Roswell crash was named EBE.
The name had been suggested by Dr. Vannever Bush and was short for
Extraterrestrial Biological Entity. EBE had a tendency to lie and for over a
year would give only the desired answers to the questions asked. Those questionswhich would have resulted in an undesirable answer went unanswered. At some
point during the second year of captivity he began to open up and the informati-on derived from EBE was startling, to say the least. This compilation of his
revelations became the foundation of what would be later called the "Yellow Book". Photographs were taken of EBE which, among others, I and Bill English were toview years later in GRUDGE˙13.

In late 1951 EBE˙became ill. Medical personnel had been unable to determine the
cause of EBE's illness and had no background from which to draw. EBE's system
was chlorophyll based and he processed food ibto energy much the same as plants.Waste material was excreted the same as plants. It was decided that an expert
on botany was called for. A botanist Dr. Guillermo Mendoza was brought in to
try and help him recover. Dr. Mendoza worked to save EBE until mid 1952 when
EBE died. Dr. Mendoza became an expert on alien biology. In a futile attempt to
save EBE and to gain favor with this technologically superior alien race the
United States began broadcasting a call for help early in 1952 into the vast
regions of space. The call went unanswered but the project continued as an
effort of good faith.
