Klaatu / Carpenters - Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft

History of the song 'Calling occupants' by Klaatu and the Carpenters.

FSB founder and president Albert Bender did indeed ask the membership to participate in a telepathic experiment to contact space people. He asked all members of the organization to memorize a message that was printed in their newsletter and mentally “send” it to the supposed UFO occupants on March 15, 1953. The original text reads:

Calling occupants of interplanetary craft! Calling occupants of interplanetary craft that have been observing our planet EARTH. We of IFSB wish to make contact with you. We are your friends, and would like you to make an appearance here on EARTH. Your presence before us will be welcomed with the utmost friendship. We will do all in our power to promote mutual understanding between your people and the people of EARTH. Please come in peace and help us in our EARTHLY problems. Give us some sign that you have received our message. Be responsible for creating a miracle here on our planet to wake up the ignorant ones to reality. Let us hear from you. We are your friends.

I had to change the speed of the Klaatu version to put it into the same key as the Carpenters version which sounds a little weird, but Klaatu often did such things with their vocals on other songs so I hope they don't mind. I wanted to use both versions of the song and use images that would be relevant to the upcoming contact with extra terrestrials which I'm sure is imminent. The time 3:47 is a refence to the movie 'The Day The Earth Stood Still' and the time contact was made.
