Thousands of years ago, after a long journey from the tenth moon located in the
Sirius Star System,
the Nommo descended to Earth from a particle beam emitting from a flotilla of jelly fish space ships. Landing in a mountainous area of Mali, West Africa, the Nommo, a half human/half fish creature quickly scampered off toward the nearest body of water. Several members of
the Dogon tribe had seen the strange being and soon all tribal members had gathered around the lake in hopes to catch a glimpse of it. When the Nommo finally emerged from the depths, he began teaching highly advanced astronomical knowledge to all members of the tribe. The Dogons have passed down this knowledge over the centuries in the form of myths and complicated calendars. The tribe's teachings maintain that Nommo will soon return to Earth and rule the world from the water. I hope he hurries up, a highly advanced amphibious creature from outer space might just be the thing we need right now.

That might explain the chunks of jellyfish we saw on the beach yesterday.
Or not...

Oh NO! I hope he doesn't get ripped apart by an illiterate southern mob like the guy in the UFO mag. (see above)

I think Phil Collins sings a song about the Nommos.
