亞當斯基在1891年4月17日出生於波蘭。在他兩歲的時候全家移民到美國並定居於紐約市。22歲那年，從1913年到1916年他是一個軍人在墨西哥邊界打仗過。他在1917年結婚。之後遷移到西部，並在黃石國家公園擔任維護工人，也在奧勒岡製粉處擔任工人。
1965年4月23日，亞當斯基在馬利蘭州死於心肌梗塞，享年74歲。[1]
On November 20, 1952 Adamski and several friends were in the Colorado Desert near the town of Desert Center, California when they are said to have seen a large submarine-shaped object hovering in the sky. Believing that the ship was looking for him, Adamski is said to have left his friends and to have headed away from the main road. Shortly afterwards, according to Adamski's accounts, a scout ship made of a type of translucent metal landed close to him, and its pilot, a Venusian called Orthon[1][6], disembarked and sought him out.[7]
Adamski described Orthon as being a medium height humanoid, with long-blond hair, and tanned skin, and as wearing reddish-brown shoes, though, as Adamski added, "his trousers were not like mine".[1][3][7][8] Adamski said Orthon communicated with him via telepathy and through hand signals.[1][7][8] During their conversation, Orthon is said to have warned of the dangers of nuclear war and to have arranged for Adamski to be taken on a trip to see the solar system including the planet Venus, the location where Mrs. Adamski had been reincarnated.[3][7] Adamski said that Orthon had refused to allow himself to be photographed, and instead asked Adamski to provide him with a blank photographic plate, which Adamski says that he gave him.[3] When Orthon left, Adamski said that he and George Hunt Williamson were able to take plaster casts of Orthon's footprints, and that the prints contained mysterious symbols.[9]
Orthon is said to have returned the plate to Adamski on December 13, 1952, at which point it was found to contain new strange symbols.[3][10] It was during this meeting that Adamski is said to have taken a now famous UFO photograph using his 6-inch (150 mm) telescope.[10] The picture has since been identified to be a streetlight.[citation needed]
In 1954, Desmond Leslie is said to have witnessed several UFOs with Adamski while visiting him in California. He described one of them in a letter he sent to his wife while he was in San Diego:[11]
| “ | ... a beautiful golden ship in the sunset, but brighter than the sunset ... It slowly faded out, the way they do. | ” |
In 1957 Adamski was the victim of a hoax letter sent by James W. Moseley. The letter was signed by the fictional "R.E. Straith", a representative of the non-existent "Cultural Exchange Committee" of the U.S. State Department. Straith wrote that the U.S. Government knew that Adamski had actually spoken to extraterrestrials in a California desert in 1952, and that a group of highly-placed government officials planned on public corroboration of Adamski's story. Adamski was proud of this endorsement and showed it around to bolster his claims (Moseley & Pflock 2002:124-27, 180).
In May 1959, Adamski received a letter from the head of the Dutch Unidentified Flying Objects Society informing him that she had been contacted by officials at the palace of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, and "that the Queen would like to receive you."[2] Adamski informed a London newspaper about the invitation, which prompted the court and cabinet to request that the queen cancel her meeting with Adamski, but the queen went ahead with the meeting saying that, "A hostess cannot slam the door in the face of her guests."[2] After the meeting, Dutch Aeronautical Association president Cornelis Kolff said, "The Queen showed an extraordinary interest in the whole subject."[2] On May 21, 1959, the Rockford Register published an article on Adamski's visit with Queen Juliana and what was rumored to be an upcoming visit with Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.
Adamski said that the photographs of the far side of the Moon that were taken by the Soviet lunar probe Luna 3 in 1959 were fake and that there were cities, trees, and snow-capped mountains there instead.[12]
In 1962, Adamski's reputation began to decline after he announced that he would be going to a conference on the planet Saturn.[3] In 1963, Adamski claimed that he had a secret meeting with Pope John XXIII and that he had received a "Golden Medal of Honor" from the Pope.[12][13] Adamski, at the request of the extraterrestrials he was allegedly in contact with, met with the Pope in order to request a "final agreement" from him because of his decision not to communicate directly with any extraterrestrials, and also to offer him a liquid substance in order to save him from gastric enteritis that he suffered from, which would later become acute peritonitis.[14]
On April 23, 1965 at the age of 74, Adamski died of a heart attack in Maryland.[3]
His claims inspired a British copycat who went under the name Cedric Allingham. Yet, his one-time co-author Desmond Leslie wrote in 1970: "Of all the contactees, Adamski attracted the most controversy and odium; and none but a man of his strength of character could have survived the onslaught."[15]
The most common arguments contrary to Adamski's claims forwarded by skeptics is that the planet Venus is unable to sustain intelligent life due to its environmental conditions. These conditions include an atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface which is 92 times that of the Earth, clouds composed of sulfuric acid and an average surface temperature of 461.85 °C. Of course, no one could live under the surface of the planet, and as a result most consider Adamski's claims to be a scientific impossibility.
Inside The Space Ships is considered by some[16] to be a "remake" of a science-fiction book, ghost written by Lucy McGinnis, entitled Pioneers of Space which Adamski wrote in 1949. His often published photo of a flying saucer from 1952 has been identified (by the chairman of the British UFO organization in the 1970s) as the top of an Italian made ice-machine used in his café[citation needed], a streetlight (see above), as well as the top of a chicken brooder[17]. However, "Cecil B. de Mille's top trick photographer, Pev Marley, declared that if Adamski's pictures were fakes they were the best he had ever seen, while in England fourteen experts from the J. Arthur Rank company concluded that the object photographed was either real, or a full-scale model."[18]

UFO sighting on May 29, 1950.
Adamski arrives in England during his world tour.
George Adamski (1891-1965), Polish-American has been the first contactee. Adamski was absolutely convinced, against any critics or sceptics, that he was in contact with benevolent aliens from Venus, Mars and Saturn known as Space Brothers.
George Adamski was a man coming from a poor family. For this reason, he could not attend University. Nevertheless, he "studied" by himself while taking little jobs here and there. In particular, he was to become a follower of Theosophy, a questionable "spiritual movement" that lead his entire life.
He joined the Army from 1913 to 1916 and fighted during the Mexican war, and got married in 1917 with Mary Shimbersky. He claimed to have been alcohol bootlegger during the Prohibition (1920-1933). Adamski also gave lectures about astronomy and philosophy in New Mexico, California and Arizona during cold winters, when there was no TV. In the late '20s he settled up at Laguna Beach teaching "Universal Law": practically a mix of Theosophy and of Christianism.
At last, he settled up on Mount Palomar, California, working as waiter for a local restaurant property of Alice Wells. His interest for flying saucers and astronomy was high. Most every night he spent hours looking at stars through a modest telescope. And belive or not, his speeches interested scientists and FBI, for he had the power to attract masses and change their mind!

Adamski claimed he met with one Nordic, surnamed by himself "Orthon", in 1952 at Desert Center. While his friends witnessed from distance the encounter, Adamski started a communication made of gestures and telepathy. Adamski wrote this first account in "Flying Saucers Have Landed" (1953) with his friend Desmond Leslie. while Leslie was more precise, Adamski was vague, excited but quite childish in telling the story (following Colin Bennet, Adamski was even bisexual). The dialogue, if we can call it so, is quite ridiculous. The story did go on: later, two more Nordics ("Firkon" and "Ramu") met and invited Adamski inside their ships, parked out of Los Angeles. Together they discussed with him topics like "universal law" and various problems of our planet. They showed him their engines and their space ships. Adamski decided to spread such accounts through the book "Inside The Space Ships" in 1955 and through world conferences.
Quickly, those who believed in Adamski gathered and a group was formed. Adamski's close friend Lucy McGinnis was in charge of managing it. It's strange how, during the encounters, he acted as he was hitted by a hammer on his head. The aliens did quite a monologue. Adamski did not ask the aliens anything important: the best he coud ask was if they organized parties! If you read carefully Adamski's writings you can see there's a clear influence of his beliefs.
Nevertheless, interest in his stories was high. Worldwide. His world tour brought him around the world, getting in contact with colllegues like Maj. Hans Petersen of Danish Air Force and Lou Zinsstag. On stage, the real Adamski revealed for what he really was: a non speaker. Adamski could be gullible, idealistic, non practical and, from the other hand, he could be intelligent, self confident, calm. It depended from which side of him was switched on. Furthermore, whenever he started talking about Universal Law he was such a bore. Europe welcomed him in a sceptical way, especially in Switzerland: "Der Spiegel" newspaper wrote an article that had fun on Adamski. He never read it, nevertheless he claimed the same article was well balanced and positive.
Adamski was a charming man. His visit card stated "Professor", even though he was not graduated. His followers claim he surely had telephatic capabilities. In 1958, travelling with Carol Honey towards Grants Pass, Oregon, he suddenly had a "telephatic hunch" . The "Professor" told Honey to drive back to a café they just had passed: as they entered, a small blonde woman (looking 12 years old at distance) approached the two. George changed attitude, acting like a drunkard, which made Honey suspicious. The woman demonstrated strong telephatic powers, so Honey concluded she must've been around a (45 years old) space person. You can laugh at this, but next day, in a Seattle hotel, Adamski took a call during which a voice told him the woman was not 45 and not who he thought, but her sister. In fact, George Adamski was sure she was Kalna! The Adamski case is full of such stories.
In Switzerland, Adamski's mind melt down. Crisis. During the 1960's, George Adamski was a disappointed man. Lucy McGinnis had left him, Europe was not interested in him anymore and his visions had fallen. Shortly, the paradisiac, venusian world had not come true.
His claims convinced his followers but not ufologists nor scientists. At a point, Adamski even claimed the FBI declared his photos to be genuine, which is wrong and caused him some troubles. First: his descriptions of the technology aboard the space ships suffers from an electromechanical view: plausible in the 1950's industrial hopes but surely not with ours. Adamski described no microchips, no fiber optics. Instead, everything is described in a general way.
Second: there's no life on Venus, Mars and Jupiter, nor on the Moon. And no animal running on the Moon surface. Even though Adamski tries to justify these claims in his third book, astronomical discoveries have only demonstrated there is no life, let alone a civilization, on Venus or on Mars. His books are only fiction. Author Marc Hallet writes:
"In fact, Inside The Space Ships is nothing more than a science fiction book. The best proof we have of this is that it is a "remake" of a science-fiction book entitled Pioneers of Space which Adamski wrote in 1949. That book was ghost written by Lucy McGinnis and is now very rare. You can order a microfilm copy from the US Library of Congress and easily compare its content with Inside The Space Ships."
Now the photos and videos. Many questioned the genuinity of his photos: most ufologists consider his photos as faked (a lamp or a part of a hoover), while a few (Leonard Cramp, Alan Watts, William Sherwood, Colman Von Keviczky and Bob Oechsler) consider the same images s genuine. Adamski wrote he quickly shot four photos. Unfortunately, Adamski required 35 manipulations with his telescope and camera just for one picture. Adamski could not shoot quickly four photos. And there is a fifth image, kept secret in Adamski's archive:
It's a damaged disc or damaged model. Let's just recall teenager Stephen Darbshire who, in 1954, photographed a UFO similar to the Venusian scoutship. The Darbshire photo seems to be a hoax.
Adamski claimed he had found pictures on a film he gave to Orthon, in occasion of the 1952 meeting. Let's see two schemes of space ships. What do you see? Not much: every interesting, technical detail is missing:
Now the Madeleine Rodeffer video, shot before his death, in which there's a close up view of the scout ship hovering over the trees, with one landing spheres moving up and down and a side of the saucer changing shape. Adamski shot the video. Quoting Marc Hallet:
"Some days later (in 1976), I put the film under a professional Olympus microscope in order to examine some very important shots. In a very short sequence, the Venusian scout ship seemed to move into in the distance and pass behind the branch of a tree. I focused on that branch and discovered that the density of the emulsion's particles was higher, exactly at the intersection point between the scout ship and the branch. In other words, the two objects were superimposed and, to tell it crudely, it was the unquestionable proof that the film was a trick produced by a double exposure."
According to May Morlet-Flitcroft and Lou Zinsstag's testimony, it was on May 13, 1963 that Adamski met Pope John XXIII. On St Peter Place, Rome, Adamski asked his two friends May Morlet-Flitcroft and Lou Zinsstag to stay there and wait for him. Then, he crossed through the crowds of tourists and disappeared behind a distant door. Adamski never met the Pope. His medal, claimed to be given from the Pope to Adamski, was nothing more than a tourist souvenir.
And there's one more: his famous venusian symbols received an astonishing confirm, ten years later, from an archeologist, Marcel Homet, who published, in 1965, a book featuring very similars symbols. Let alone these cannot be proper writings (too confused), Hallet states that the evidence is that the archeologist tried to attract attention to his book by a "mystery" he created himself.
Enough to demonstrate Adamski's claims are pure fantasy.
Why I can say that Adamski was a liar
Profiles in pseudoscience: George Adamski!
Adamski's second bestseller, published in 1955
“Professor Adamski” and his 6-inch Newtonian reflecting telescope in 1952.
Adamski was born on April 17, 1891, in
Poland. He and his
family moved to New York when Adamski was less than two years old, and
he
grew up in Dunkirk, NY, where economic hardship forced him to drop out
of school in the 4th grade.
In later years Adamski never wrote anything himself, preferring to
dictate to a secretary, and it's possible he was a bit ashamed of his
inability to spell simple english
words. A few years before World War I, Adamski
served in K-troop of the 13th US
Cavalry, on the Mexican border. His tombstone lists his World War
I military
service as private, Company A, 23rd Batallion, US National Guard. He is
supposed to have married Mary Shimbersky in 1917, but there is little
or no reference to her in his subsequent history, although she seems to
have
stayed with him until her death, reportedly in 1954. After his marriage
he did maintenance work at Yellowstone National Park, worked at a flour
mill in Oregon, and did concrete contracting work in Los Angeles. In
the early 1920s in California he seems
to have been exposed
to the I AM cult,
and
Katherine Tingley's version of Madame
Blavatski's pseudoreligion of Theosophy, and in about
1926 or 1928 he began to found a succession of several Theosophy-based
religious organizations of
his own, the best known being the
“Royal Order of Tibet,”
whose so-called “monastery” was established at Laguna Beach sometime in
the 1930s. Adamski, as contemporary newspaper accounts indicate, had
grandiose plans for his cult, including the creation of a large
campus like Katherine Tingley's Lomaland at Point Loma, CA. His
plans came to nothing, and in 1939 or 1940 Adamski and his tiny flock
of converts moved from Laguna Beach
to a rural area near Mount Palomar, California, where
they established a commune called “Valley Center,” where they lived
under quite primitive
conditions. In 1944 Adamski and his followers (then numbering less than
a dozen in total) built and staffed a tiny hamburger stand at Palomar
Gardens, on the lower slopes of Mount Palomar, beside the road leading
up to the
famed Observatories. Their still-primitive commune was relocated to the
area behind the cafe, as seen from
the road.
Adamski began to hint that he was a “consultant” to the astronomers
doing
research on Palomar, and started referring to himself as “Professor
Adamski.”
He made enough money to buy a 15-inch reflecting telescope which was protected within a small observatory shed, and began to talk about his important “astronomical research.” He also accepted as a gift from a follower a 6-inch Newtonian reflecting telescope, which because it was readily portable was far more useful in establishing some of his later flying-saucer-related claims. It also had a camera attachment which used clumsy wooden Speed-Graphic-style film-holders.
On June 24, 1947, the flying saucer myth first took wing with
the report that a private pilot named
Kenneth Arnold had seen a fleet of mysterious crescent-shaped
objects manuvering near Mt. Rainier
in Washington State. It was the gimmick that Adamski
had been searching for since his coming to California. Almost at once
he began to show
his followers photographs of cigar-shaped (and later disk-shaped)
“spacecraft” from
other worlds, which he claimed to have made using his 6-inch telescope.
He also claimed to have
first spotted such spacecraft nearly a year before Arnold, on October
9, 1946. His followers today
usually date his first photos to 1948; the correct date seems to be
1949. His first nationwide publicity came when
an article,
illustrated with his saucer photos, appeared in FATE Magazine,
September, 1950.
Adamski incorporated both his religious teachings and
the flying saucer myth into a science-fiction novel, Pioneers of Space: A Trip to the Moon, Mars and Venus,published
in 1949 by a vanity press, Leonard-Freefield of Los Angeles.
This novel
was ghost-written by Lucy McGinnis, a follower whom Adamski had
appointed his
“secretary,” partly based on dictation from Adamski, and partly on
previously-printed pamphlets expounding on Adamski's doctrines,
which wildly mixed Theosophy and Christianity. The very poorly written
novel tells of the first expedition from the earth to the moon, during
which the earth explorers discover entirely human-looking inhabitants
who turn out to live on every planet in our solar system. For the rest
of the novel, the superhumanly wise extraterrestrials pontificate
philosophically and religiously to the open-mouthed earthmen.
Their ideas correspond precisely and specifically to those of Adamski's
cult. Science fiction magazine editor Ray Palmer noted that
Adamski had previously submitted short stories based on the same
material, none of which were accepted for publication.
Orthon, the man from
Venus, who appears to have tongue in cheek in this rendering.
Adamski's first “nonfiction” book,
Flying Saucers Have Landed (1953) is almost entirely a summary
by British Theosophist
Desmond Leslie
of Theosophical teachings regarding ancient astronauts,
Atlantis, Lemuria, ancient Egypt, the mythology of India, the friendly
human inhabitants
of Venus, and late-1940s flying saucer lore. In the back is a very
short
section contributed supposedly by Adamski, but actually written
by Clara L. John,
recounting his supposed meeting with a Venusian in 1952, and going on
to describe how he took a number of
telescopic photos of the Venusian's Scout Ship saucer when it flew over
Adamski's home a few weeks
later. The famed 1952 meeting with the man from Venus was “witnessed”
only by
six
members of his cult— Alfred and Betty Bailey, George Hunt and Betty
Williamson, Alice K. Wells and Lucy McGinnis— allegedly from a distance
of 100 to 200
yards! In fact all they saw was Adamski telling them to stay put, then
walking up and over a hill, and
then about
an hour later walking down back to them, and telling his story.
Most reviewers of the book commented that the photos were the only things contained therein that were even remotely interesting. Expected journalists who came to Adamski's home in 1953 - 56 to hear about his revelations from the Space People often found him in his backyard garage ostentatiously fiddling around with bar magnets of various sizes and shapes. He would then confide to the reporters that he was trying to discover the secret of the marvellous Venusian magnetic space ship propulsion system. A one-time follower, Karl Hunrath, who noticed what appeared to be a small flying-saucer prop lying on the ground behind the garage, was told that it was a new type of TV antenna Adamski was experimenting with.
Adamski's 1953 “contact” claims inspired
a wave of imitators,Inside the Space Ships
(1955), which was based almost
word-for-word on the last half of his earlier ghostwritten novel. From late 1953 until
his death in 1965,
Adamski crisscrossed the US, eventually taking a “world tour” of England and
Europe, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, giving radio and TV
interviews and
paid lectures about his space voyages and the philosophical teachings
of the friendly, wise Space Brothers from Venus, Mars, Jupiter and
Saturn,
while showing slides of his photos of the Scout Ships and mother ship.
Some references indicate
Adamski became quite wealthy from these speaking tours, while others
claim that his
lectures were poorly delivered, poorly attended, and not
moneymakers. The truth probably lies somewhere in between, since
Adamski's
speaking tours continued with few breaks until his death. In a sense,
however, Adamski's fame came a bit too late. In
1956 he was already 65, and obviously not in good physical condition. all of
whom one-upped Adamski by claiming to have been allowed inside the
saucers, and even taken
for a ride. Adamski responded with
By 1960 Adamski appeared gaunt, weak and ailing.
Adamski after a public lecture in the late 1950s. Note the cigarette and the fact that he has sweated completely through his suit coat.
Adamski's final book, Flying Saucers Farewell (1961)
is a scrapbook-like hodge-podge actually compiled by several of
Adamski's assistants. In the last 5 years of his life, Adamski managed
to alienate almost every one of his remaining followers by filling his
monthly mail-circulated newsletter with increasingly comical claims,
such as that he was off to Saturn for a week to attend an
invitation-only conference for Cosmic Masters of Wisdom like
himself. Those followers not offended by his initial claim were
aghast at his followup claim that he had decided to travel to the conference,
not via space ship, but using astral projection, while his body remained behind to be protected by his aides!
After showing the same tired set of saucer photos for more than a decade, Adamski was apparently persuaded finally to try something new. Just before his death of a heart attack in Maryland on April 23, 1965, Adamski made some very short, very goofy-looking color 8 mm movies of Scout Ships darting randomly and erratically over a wooded landscape... moving much like blowing scraps of paper, or large insects.
A single frame from Adamski's best-known 1965 8 mm movie of a scout-ship model. The weird apparent bending of the saucer is in fact a warping of the thick, multilayer Dynacolor emulsion; the same warping is seen in background trees and vegetation in the other two films. Adamski owned a 16 mm movie camera, seen at left, but these films were made with an 8 mm camera borrowed from a follower, Mrs. Redeffer. A brief but correct discussion of how Adamski made the film can be found here.
While a very tiny remnant of the original Adamski cult still survives in the US, he seems to be best remembered today in Europe and Japan. If he is remembered at all, by the world at large, it is still for the photos he published in 1953's Flying Saucers Have Landed,which he was careful to copyright individually, and for which his one or two surviving followers retain the copyright to this day. Because of the copyright, the photos are seldom reproduced, and difficult to find posted anywhere on the Internet, which ironically serves to keep Adamski's current modest fame to a minimal level. A fair idea of what the photos were like can be found here— on a page featuring both Adamski originals and some imitations by others. Other photos are posted here. Adamski's original photos from the early 1950s seem to show a light fixture, complete with three ordinary incandescent light-bulbs that are half-concealed by a circular plate. To me it looks like the removable top of some cylindrical object, the lower part of which was heated by the bulbs, at least one of which appears to be tinted red. Perhaps it was indeed the top of a Sears Chicken Brooder, as many claimed at the time the photos were first published. In fact, famed rocket engineer Walther Riedel pointed out to James Moseley in December of 1953 that examination of one of Adamski's photos with a microscope readily reveals the familiar GE trademark on one of the bulbs. [See p. 69 of Moseley's Shockingly Close to the Truth (Prometheus, NY, 2002).]
Adamski with the 6-inch Newtonian reflector and sheet-film camera given to him by a follower. By racking the eyepiece to the limit of its tube, it was easy for Adamski to take photos of small floodlit saucer models indoors using essentially the same setup as for astronomical photos outdoors.
When I read Adamski's first book in late 1953 at the tender age of 13, I instantly recognized that the basic features of Adamski's Scout Ship were borrowed closely from Frank Scully's 1950 book, Behind the Flying Saucers, a hoax account of the finding of three crashed flying saucers in the deserts of Arizona and New Mexico by military and industrial expeditions. The three-ball landing gear and many other features of Adamski's saucers seem to be inspired by the not-very-detailed descriptions of Scully's imaginary saucers. Adamski personally knew Scully and con-man Silas Newton, who invented the hoax, and they are even acknowledged indirectly at the end of Flying Saucers Have Landed.
Note the infrared chicken-brooder bulb serving as one of three “ball” landing gear, and also note the reflections of three floodlights from that bulb. The photo was obviously taken indoors. Some suppressed photos show the outer rim of the “saucer” to have a big dent on one side. Note also the absence of glass in the “portholes.”
Strangely, or not so strangely, Adamski's mythology directly inspired only one movie, Britain's Stranger From Venus (1954) based on a screen treatment by Desmond Leslie himself. It is an imitation of the 1951 US film, The Day the Earth Stood Still, rewritten to make the connection with Adamski's Venusian mythology.
Two Adamski followers, Townsend T. Brown and Agnew Bahnson, built an exact copy of Adamski's Scout Ship in the late 1950s, about the same size (a foot to a foot and a half in diameter), with magnets placed as specified by Adamski. They claimed to be surprised when it just sat there, not taking off by itself.
The Venusian Adamski first encountered was named Orthon, who himself became the Jesus-figure of a religious cult started in England in 1961 by Richard Grave. The British cult spun off a Danish satellite, led by Knud Weiking. The cults attained a brief celebrity in 1967 with their predictions of the eminent end of the world, with Orthon of course offering the only hope of salvation.
Some other “Venusians” who made personal
appearances at Flying Saucer Conventions in the late 1950s and early 1960s include
Viviann Venus (with authentic girl-next-door looks), the handsome Valiant Thor, and much later, the exotically
beautiful Omnec Onec. None of them claimed to know Orthon. Adamski's South African follower
Elizabeth Klarer, in the late 1950s, was one of the very first to claim to have
been abducted by space aliens;
she related how Adamski-style space brothers had taken her to a planet orbiting Alpha Centauri, how one had become
her lover, how she had given birth to a child, and then returned to earth with the child remaining
behind to be raised properly as a Cosmic Master of Wisdom. An amusing and reliable volume
covering all the classic 1950s “contactees” and their very, very strange relationships
is Shockingly Close to the Truth, by James W. Moseley and Karl T. Pflock
(Prometheus, NY, 2002). Moseley is one of the very few, perhaps the only one, who
personally met and talked with all the strange or gullible people who were prominent in 1950s and
1960s flying saucerdom. Another good recent book about Adamski is
How to Make the Most of a Flying Saucer Experience, by Professor Solomon (Top Hat Press, 1998).
See also In Advance of the Landing, by Douglas Curran (Abbeville Press, 1985, 2001).
←Was it all worth it, George? Adamski
looks totally exhausted on one of his speaking tours. The stress of these tours might well
have shortened his life. In addition, some who knew him personally tell me he was
a heavy smoker and a very heavy drinker. However, he still lived to the age of 74.
