The premiere issue of El Ojo Cr¡tico declares that Spain's "new wave" of UFO investigators may have triumphed where there elders have failed: learning the truth behind the UMMO mystery. Young investigators like Carles Berch‚, Jos‚ J. Montejo and Javier Sierra have discovered that the author of the worldwide hoax was eminent parapsychologist Jos‚ Luis Jordan Pea. After a barrage of articles in ufological journals attacking UMMO, Jordan Pea confessed to his authorship of the entire scenario, protesting that it was a "scientific experiment" designed to gauge the gullibility of UFO researchers of the '60s and '70s. Investigator Manuel Carballal has discovered through a series of interviews that Jord n Pea's goals may not have been quite so sanguine.
    In 1993, Trinidad Pastrana confessed to being the enigmatic character "Marisol", the Ummites go-between and a recipient of the enigmatic "reports". "Marisol" made use of the telephone and overseas trips to drop off letters and Ummite
messages in the postal services of the countries she visited, leading researchers to believe that the Ummites were indeed travelling around the world to gather data about this planet. The UMMO correspondence was dictated to her by Jordan Pea.
    Trinidad stated that she had met Jordan Pea outside a radio studio, captivated by his discussion of Kirlian photography. Circumstances led to her being hypnotized and subjected to sexual abuse by Jordan Pea. Another woman, Mercedes Carrasco, another sexual abuse victim, would also become involved in the parapsychologists' fantasies and become a player in the UMMO hoax.
    Carballal goes on to say how the "final" UMMO letters, mailed from Malaysia and Zimbabwe in 1983-84, were sent from said locations by none other than Carrasco herself. In a taped interview, the woman recounted her involvement with UMMO.
    "I met him (Jordan) in '72 or '73 at the SEP Conference, and agreed to be hypnotized, first with witnesses and later alone..."
    Jordan took advantage of a letter Carrasco had mailed to a spiritual group to pose as a Hindu "master", leading her to believe that the only way to balance off her "bad karma" from a previous existence was by subjecting herself to a sadomasochistic relationship.
