Is PRISA run by aliens?

I have a theory about PRISA. First of all, when you call their switchboard, NOBODY ever answers...spooky. Second of all, the principals that run this business are people I have never heard of in the PR industry. I only see them at PRISA events but they do not seem to exist outside the realm of these "PRISA" events. Again, it makes me wonder, do they get beamed up and down by some mysterious spaceship? 15 May 2007
