www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread946604/pg1 ANY TRUTH IN THE ACCOUNTS OF GEORGE ADAMSKI? by fadedface abovetopsecret.com 11-5-2013 I've always enjoyed reading about the accounts of George Adamski and his contacts with the benevolent Nordic aliens from Venus in the fifties who would relay warnings to humanity about the danger of nuclear war. Its easy to dismiss Adamski as a mere fantasist but could it be possible that his encounters where not simply inventions? Its interesting how the character of extra terrestrial encounters has changed over the decades from the first generation of contactee's such as Adamski who would 'attend an interplanetary conference held on the planet Saturn' and have secret meetings with the Pope to the more ambivalent modern reports of alien abduction. Even if the explanation isn't extra terrestrial there is something more going on here than mere hallucination and hoaxes in my opinion. I suppose the case of Adamski has a parallel in modern new age 'channelling' and channellers who claim to be in communication with enlightened alien entities such as the 'Pleiadians', 'Ashtar' and the Galactic Council etc. Interesting to think Adamski could have been a disinfo agent. If your looking at the timeline of alien abduction it was probably starting to come to prominence around the late fifties and early sixties with the Antonio Vilas Boas case and the Barney and Betty Hill case. Both of these incidents seem to be a prelude to the standard reports of alien abduction we recognise today with elements such as hybridisation and missing time. If George Adamski was a disinfo agent his accounts of alien contact where the antidote to the darker abduction reports as he portrayed the Nordic aliens as being peaceful messengers to humanity. Could it be as the first wave of alien abduction was initiated back in the late fifties Adamski was used by the 'powers that be' who of course where in collusion with the aliens and sanctioned the abductions to spread propaganda which claimed the aliens where here for benevolent and peaceful purposes? What I wonder is did Adamski himself really know the true agenda of the aliens or was he igannant of their real motives and genuinely believed they where here for noble reasons?

Adamski claimed he went off alone and encountered a second ship, out of which clambered a golden-haired alien named Orthon. Supposedly from the planet Venus, Orthon came with a message of peace, warning Adamski of the dangers of nuclear war. After he got back in his ship and flew away Adamski and his friends said they took plaster casts of Orthon’s footprints–ostensibly to prove he was really there. Adamski further claimed that he returned to the landing site a few weeks later, on December 13, 1952. As the Venusians’ ship descended to meet him, he took a photograph of it–the first clear picture ever of a flying saucer, which would eventually become easily the most famous photo of a UFO. The following year Adamski began publishing books about his experiences with the “space brothers.” In Flying Saucers Have Landed, published in 1953, and Inside the Space Ships, published in 1955, Adamski waxed eloquent about the fabulous civilization of the Venusians, who wanted to bring peace to Earth. Jesus Christ, according to Orthon, was one of these emissaries. When they wanted to, the Venusians could pass as humans, and Adamski said he met some of them in various Southern California bars. As pop culture material, flying saucers were big in the early 1950s. Sightings of “unidentified flying objects” went viral in the years after World War II, and with grandiose claims being made by government and private industry about technological progress, they did not seem so far-fetched. There was also a great deal of anxiety about nuclear warfare and nuclear weapons. The bombing of Hiroshima in 1945, the badly-botched Bikini Atoll tests the next year, and the USSR’s acquisition of the bomb in 1949 deeply affected the psyche of Americans. The mix of these two elements–fascination and fear–made Adamski’s message of peace, demanded by extraterrestrial visitors, essentially go viral. Adamski’s books were best-sellers and suddenly people all over America, and some in Britain, were coming forward claiming that they too had been “contacted” by Venusians and other races of aliens.

Always two sides to a story..Too many holes in Adamski's claims. Even the man who was with him failed to back his story. That's not to say Adamski didn't believe it, but wanting something to be true..doesn't make it so. He may have been the victim of some planted information to further some alien cause. Aside from the fact that the planets in our system aren't so hospitable as ours is (and who knows..maybe they're all hollow) there is this too:
Adamski's photographs of the UFOs he claimed to observe and travel in have also come under scrutiny. His often-published photo of a flying saucer from 1952 has been variously identified as a streetlight or the top of a chicken brooder.[43] Adamski claimed that movie director Cecil B. DeMille's top trick photographer, J. Peverell Marley, had examined his UFO photos and found a "spaceman" in them, and Marley himself declared that if Adamski's pictures were fakes, they were the best he had ever seen. In England, 14 experts from the J. Arthur Rank company concluded that the object photographed was either real or a full-scale model.[44] However, in his 1955 investigation into Adamski's claims, James W. Moseley interviewed Marley, who denied that he had enlarged the photos for analysis, found a "spaceman" in them, or knew of anyone who had. Moseley also interviewed German rocket scientist Walther Johannes Riedel, who told him that he had analyzed Adamski's UFO photos and found them to be fakes.[45] Riedel told Moseley that the UFO's "landing struts" were actually 100-watt General Electric light bulbs, and that he had seen the "GE" logo printed on them.[45]
In his 1955 investigation, Moseley found other flaws in Adamski's story. He interviewed several of the people that Adamski claimed had been with him in his initial November 20, 1952 meeting with Orthon, and found that several of these witnesses contradicted Adamski's claims.[46] One, Al Bailey, denied to Moseley that he had seen a UFO in the desert or the alien Adamski described. Jerrold Baker, who had worked at Palomar Gardens with Adamski, told Moseley that he had overheard "a tape-recorded account of what was to transpire on the desert, who was to go, etc." several days before Adamski's claimed November 20 meeting with Orthon, and Baker stated that Adamski's meeting with Orthon was a "planned operation."[47] Baker also told Moseley that Adamski had tried to convince him not to expose their hoax by telling Baker that he could make money by charging fees to give UFO lectures, as Adamski was doing: "Now you know the [UFO] picture connected to your name is in the book (Flying Saucers Have Landed) too. And with people knowing that you are connected with flying saucers...you could do yourself a lot of good. You could give lectures in the evenings. There is a demand for this! You could support yourself by the picture in the book with your name."[48] Moseley also discovered that George Hunt Williamson, another prominent contactee and friend of Adamski, did not witness any UFO nor Adamski's encounter with Orthon, despite his public statements claiming otherwise.[49] When Irma Baker, Jerrold Baker's wife, accused him of lying about the incident, Williamson told her cryptically that "sometimes to gain admittance, one has to go around the back door."[50] In his report on Adamski's claims, Moseley wrote "I do believe most definitely that Adamski's narrative contains enough flaws to place in very serious doubt both his veracity and his sincerity. The reader will be moved to make for himself a careful re-evaluation of the worth of Adamski's book.

mysteriousuniverse.org/2018/12/why-george-adamski-was-watched-by-the-government/ Why George Adamski Was Watched By The Governmentby Nick Redfern / mysteriousuniverse.org/author/nredfern/December 11, 2018 In the early hours of November 20, 1952, controversial Contactee George Adamski and his secretary, Lucy McGinnis, headed out of Palomar Mountain and drove to Blythe, California. It was all as a result of a sudden, out of the blue hunch that Adamski had – one which led him to believe that a close encounter was looming on the horizon. As dawn broke, they met with several fellow saucer-seekers, Al and Betty Bailey, and George Hunt Williamson, who was a fellow Contactee who also caught the secret attention of the FBI, as we shall soon see. After breakfast, Adamski had an eerie feeling that the group needed to head off to Parker, Arizona – which they quickly did. It wasn’t long before one and all was shocked and amazed by the sight of a huge, silver-colored UFO that was “cigar”-like in shape and maneuvering high in the clear skies over Parker. An excited Adamski shouted to the group to follow it: they raced for their cars and hit the dirt road in pursuit of the craft from another world. According to Adamski and his friends, the craft shot out of the area after being pursued by a squadron of military aircraft. Soon after, though, a much smaller, Flying Saucer-type vehicle landed on a nearby mountain. For Adamski, this was a sign the aliens wanted to converse with him, face to face. That, we’re told, is exactly what happened. As the rest of the group kept their distance, Adamski tentatively walked towards the alien craft. A door on the vehicle opened and Adamski, holding his breath, was confronted by a long-haired, human-looking figure dressed in a one-piece suit, not unlike the kind of outfit worm by today’s military pilots. Adamski said that the long-haired, human-looking being claimed his name was Orthon, that he came from the planet Venus, and that he was here to warn the world of the perils of nuclear weapons. Orthon told the excited and shocked Adamski that he, Adamski, was to be a part of a worldwide program designed to push human civilization away from planet-wide annihilation and towards a new paradise. With that all said, Orthon returned to his Flying Saucer, which raced into the heavens and vanished from view. In mere minutes, Adamski was a new man with a new plan. He claimed further controversial encounters with the Space-Brothers and, in 1953, co-authored with Desmond Leslie a book on the entire affair titled Flying Saucers Have Landed. The book proved to be a huge hit. Adamski had gone from a figure of relative obscurity to one that countless numbers of people were listening to – and listening to very carefully. Those listeners included none other than some of the finest special-agents of the FBI. It’s important to note that the stories of George Adamski – who died in 1965 – have both their believers and their disbelievers. That Orthon looked extremely human and claimed to be a Venusian, has had many a UFO researcher rolling their eyes – and quite understandably. On the other hand, and even to this day, Adamski still has a faithful following which shows no signs of going away anytime soon. For the FBI, though, it wasn’t so much whether or not Adamski’s claims were true or not which bothered J. Edgar Hoover’s G-Men. Rather, it was the influence that Adamski was having on the American public that had them worried. Deeply so, too. Had Adamski just told his readers, and listeners, tales of exciting encounters with spacemen and space-women from other worlds, then, in all probability, the FBI would not have cared in the slightest. But, things didn’t end there. According to the FBI’s files on Adamski, his aliens were communists. Those same records state that Adamski claimed that the Soviet way of life was also the way of the future. That the Russians would be the victors in a looming Third World War, and that the Space Brothers would then usher in a new era in which alien communists would sculpt a new Earth. Today, much of this might sound farcical, unimportant and far-fetched, but it was the thousands upon thousands of people who completely bought into all this which had the FBI concerned. As a result, J. Edgar Hoover ordered a file to be opened on Adamski. It ran from 1952 to 1965, amounts to around 130 pages, and is now available under Freedom of Information legislation. The file makes it very clear that the Bureau was far from impressed by anything that Adamski had to say about his alleged alien encounters. The issue of how Adamski insisted on spreading the word of communism, though – and doing so via the message and the medium of the Space Brothers – continued to worry and vex the FBI. Hence the existence of the strange file. mysteriousuniverse.org/2018/12/why-george-adamski-was-watched-by-the-government/
