The Misión Rahma story began in a Lima living room, not in the desert. On January 22, 1974, eighteen-year-old Sixto Paz Wells returned from a lecture about telepathy and attempted an experiment with his mother and sister. He had practiced yoga and meditation, and he described the method as conscious automatic writing rather than trance. His hand produced a message attributed to a being called Oxalc, who claimed to be from Morlen—the name given for Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon—and promised that the family would soon see the senders.
The next day the experiment was repeated with roughly twenty friends. According to Paz, another message specified a test: the group should travel to the Chilca desert, about sixty kilometres south of Lima, at 9 p.m. on February 7. The party assembled among the low desert ridges with considerable skepticism. At the appointed time an intense glow appeared behind the hills, briefly lighting the night. A light moved above the ridge, paused, swung toward the group and descended. Paz said it resolved into a rotating metallic lenticular object with about six small windows and colored lights along its side. Hovering above the witnesses, it cast a white illumination strong enough to make the desert appear like midday.
The approach frightened the group. Paz reported that everyone then perceived a reassuring mental message: the occupants would not descend because the witnesses could not control their emotions, but another time and place would come. The object departed rapidly. In the following months, the group returned repeatedly to Chilca and reported discs, cylinders, formations and small round objects. A September 7 outing later became especially important because Spanish journalist J. J. Benítez attended and said he saw two lights or objects appear after a predicted appointment. His observation supported that something aerial was seen; it did not establish the objects' origin.
Paz separated those group sightings from a more private experience in June. He said seven participants walked into the desert and that he moved ahead of them, encountering a luminous half-dome roughly ten metres wide behind a hill. A human silhouette beckoned from inside. Paz eventually entered and described heat, dizziness and nausea before seeing a six-foot human-looking man with a broad face, sparse hair and a loose, shiny garment. Communication was said to be telepathic. Paz called the luminous threshold a Xendra and claimed that he experienced about five days at a settlement on Ganymede while only fifteen minutes passed for his companions. They reportedly saw him emerge from the light but did not share the claimed journey.
These experiences became the foundation of Misión RAMA, later commonly written Rahma, and a network of meditation and contact groups. The Atlas preserves the chronology as Paz's first-person account: the January writing, February group observation, later press-attended sightings and June Xendra claim are related but distinct episodes. Multiple people reportedly witnessed lights in the desert, yet the attribution to Oxalc, the telepathic messages, dimensional passage and journey to Ganymede remain unverified claims rather than established facts.
