[THEWATCHER]

Numerous classes were arranged there besides the painful procedures and medical checks. By age the groups of children would sit in classes, reading what started out as ordinary run of the mill storybooks. After a few pages the text would change to foreign language text, most would simply stop and be unable to continue reading. The watchers would then note those children whom could read the foreign text and remove them from each class and take them to another classroom. Those that remained were asked to turn the page which contained various symbols, odd characters etc (later identified as off planet languages). Again, most simply could not make head or tail of it and sat at desks stumped. However, those that were able to read and descibe content were hurried out of the class and taken to another classroom.

Some of the tests were blind tests, inasmuch that we did not know what the results were at the time, such as being in a room and asked to concentrate on another room where someone was holding up cards with letters, symbols or numbers on them. We were asked to write down what we saw. The only indication of any success was a small treat such as a sweet or two. Similar tests were when we were asked to try and read someones mind from another room, these were the hardest tests within that category for many of us.
