Introduction
This paper begins with an overview of Lord
Desmond Leslie, the charismatic peer who co authored the book “Flying Saucers have Landed”, with contactee
George Adamski. It is then followed with a brief account of Adamski’s early
life and of the fascinating events that brought him into public life. The
contact experiences of Adamski in the Californian desert are discussed, witness
testimony analyzed followed by an examination of the empirical evidence, which
are always accompanied by attacks from the skeptics, who are always there
to debunk out of this world contacts.
Adamski embarks on worldwide travel lecturing
to proponents of ETs including Royalty. What was so special about this man?
Was he physically different, perhaps a hybrid? Why was he buried in the Arlington
Cemetery? The paper takes a view on these
controversial points before presenting evidence of similar contact experiences
by others. Adamski was not the only human undergoing an uplifting of conscious
by extra terrestrials; it is an ongoing phenomena designed to ensure mankind
brings his technology and spirituality in line with the harmonics of the universe.
Overview
of Dennis Leslie
Lord Desmond Leslie was a cousin of Sir
Winston Churchill, a Spitfire pilot, proponent of extraterrestrial life, composer
of revue lyrics and a collector of electronic noise.
[1]
A scion of the Irish ascendancy, he was the son of Sir
Shane Leslie, third Baronet, and lived at Castle Leslie, in Co Monaghan.
[2]
One November night in 1934 after "lights out",
he claimed his dormitory was ""suddenly lit by a brilliant green
glare which had his fellow schoolboys rushing to the window to see an immense
green fireball move slowly across the sky and disappear behind the Sussex
Downs”.
[3]
Leslie mused: “Why
should they risk a public landing?" Their ship would be impounded for
evasion of custom duties. Their clothes would be torn off and sold as souvenirs.
They would be denounced as saboteurs, anti-Christ’s, and disturbers of the
peace, emissaries of Satan, and the rest.”
[4]
Leslie created television history when, during the live
filming of That Was The Week That Was
with Bernard Levin, who had given his wife’s Cabaret show, Savagery
and Delight a bad review, Leslie emerged out of the audience and took
a swing at him.
[5]
In his book, “Flying saucers have landed” co authored with contactee George Adamski,
Leslie spent time explaining what saucers were not!
[6]
Logging as many sightings as he could muster Leslie ridicules
the explanations of these sighting given by the establishment.
An Eric von Daniken before
his time, Leslie drew on levitating saints, Atlantean myths and ancient airships
to evolve a specific theory of interplanetary propulsion which he sought to
relate, Gaia-like, to the Earth itself. "As I write this, I am riding
on a great green luminous spaceship . . . rushing through the Ocean of Space." The book culminated in a 50-page
account of Adamski's encounter of the third kind with tall, long-haired Venusians
in outfits "like ski trousers."
[7]
Whilst researching the Vedas (ancient texts) including around 50 episodes
of the Mahabharata, Leslie concluded that the ancient chariots or flying machines
called Vimanas were actually anti gravitic vehicles and some of the weapons
(Brahma weapon) could well have
been nuclear bombs or death rays.
[8]
Descriptions in the Vedas of the resulting carnage were
reminiscent of Hiroshima. Those episodes
written in the Dheiva were of course fairy tales but those of the Menusa were
considered fact.
Leslie believed in reincarnation,
and the holistic theories of Gaia, and joined a faith-healing sect, the White
Eagle Lodge, run by a medium. He also continued to pursue his near-Messianic
belief in UFOs, lecturing at UFO conferences in Laughlin,
Nevada, in 1998, and, as late as June 2000,
at a similar conference in San
Marino - a now legendary witness to the birth
of UFOlogy.
[9]
Leslie had received some of Adamski’s pictures
of the Venusian craft and in order to not spoil Adamski’s efforts in publishing
a book, Leslie arranged to co-author a book with Adamski called; “Flying Saucers have landed”. An aristocratic
background carries credibility and it could well be that Leslie was chosen
or influenced by higher forces in “getting Adamski’s word out”.
Desmond Leslie refers to the work of a Meade
Layne of California who was experimenting in `very advanced and mysterious
fields of physics' and who believed that `life on Venus takes place at a
higher octave of matter than on Earth. Dr Layne gives details of Venusian
ships, which fit in with many observation reports.
Overview
of George Adamski
Adamski was born on April 17, 1891, in Poland.
[10]
He and his family moved to New
York when Adamski was less than two years old. 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 Battalion, 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. He worked at a flour mill
in Oregon, and did concrete contracting work
in Los Angeles.
In the early 1920s he seems to have been exposed to the I AM cult,
[11]
and Katherine Tingley’s
[12]
version of Madame Blavatski's pseudo religion of Theosophy.
[13]
About 1926 he began to found a succession of several
Theosophy-based religious organizations of his own, the best known being the
“Royal Order of Tibet,”
[14]
whose “monastery” was established at Laguna
Beach sometime in the 1930s. In 1940 Adamski and his
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 built and
staffed a tiny hamburger stand at Palomar
Gardens, on the lower slopes of Mount Palomar, besides 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 became personally responsible for pioneering the
movement towards establishing greater public awareness and education towards
ET life. Adamski supported his experiences with exceptional UFO photographs
and color motion film footage. His documented witnessed encounters with Human
ETs from other planets made him one of the most fascinating people of the
20th century.
The Encounter in the desert
On 20th November 1952 at 12.30pm
when George Adamski met an ET called Orthon, a long haired youthful man from
Venus in front of 6 witnesses in the Californian desert near Mount Palomar;
the cat was out the bag, the space people were amongst us and nothing has
ever been the same.Adamski‘s life was dedicated to metaphysics, psychicsm
and religion and was certainly the prototype for many hippie like teachers
to come after him in the 1960’s.
[15]
The natural laws that he formulated were rather like our
own “New Age” concepts.
Adamski’s description of Orthon resembles many
other such encounters, with the High forehead and cheekbones, grey green eyes,
hairless skin and long thin fingers and white teeth. He said of Orthon that
if he had dressed in woman’s clothing he could have passed for a female. In
the book “Flying Saucers have landed,”
Adamski further described his encounter:
“As I approached
him a strange feeling came upon me and I became cautious. At the same time
I looked round to reassure myself that we were both in full sight of my companions.
Outwardly there was no reason for this feeling, for the man was like any other
man and I could see he was somewhat smaller than I and considerably younger.
Suddenly a veil
was removed from my mind the feeling of caution left me completely that I
was no longer aware of my friends.
No for the first
time I realized that I was in the presence of a man from Space – A human Being
from another world. The beauty of his form surpassed anything I had ever seen.
The pleasantness of his face freed me from any thoughts of my personal self.
I felt like a child in front of someone with great wisdom and love and I became
very humble within myself, for from him was radiating a felling of infinite
understanding and kindness with supreme humility.
He made me understand
their coming was friendly. Also as he gestured they were concerned with the
radiation going out from Earth. I asked if this concern was due to the explosions
of our bombs with their resultant vast radio active clouds. He understood
this correctly and nodded his head in the affirmative.
One occasion during an encounter Adamski did
not take heed of a warning and got to close to the craft. His arm painfully
jerked upwards as though by an electric shock. Orthon wanted humankind to
know of their existence, aware that man was on the brink of going into space. Adamski was taken on trips to space and to the
hidden side of the moon where he reported seeing water and vegetation. Teachings
were about self-responsibility and universal law; a kind of cosmic moral paradigm
that binds together the entire animal, mineral and vegetable universe.
Witness
testimony
Some 50 years later, arguments surrounding
the validity of Adamski’s story still rage on. Alan C Tolman (Aerospace Engineer who appeared in Fastwalkers)
described during an interview at the preview of FASTWALKERS, the structure
and sensing devices on a picture of an extremely clear shot of a Venusian
cigar shaped craft taken by Adamski.
[16]
Tolman displays blown up posters of the very
same Scout crafts cited by Adamski that had appeared and landed in the UK..
Tolman who met Adamski and witnessed the craft through Adamski’s 15” telescope
was so inspired; that he set up his own telescope connected to a TV monitor
and took images of the moon with extreme clarity. He confirmed how people
from all walks of life met with Adamski including people from the military,
to listen to him talk about the Space people and their craft. Tolman mentioned
his own encounter with a craft; how it increased its frequency and went brighter
and brighter then took off till it looked like one of the stars. Perhaps this
was a clue to the notion that the Space People were less dense being of a
higher vibration or frequency.
Retired Major Hans C Peterson of the Danish
NATO exchange office, washing ton D.C. 1995 asserted that governments and
science were simply not telling the truth. Having received pictures from NATO
showing smoke rising from the crater, he concluded was that the moon had its
own atmosphere. Other pictures showed a camouflaged water reservoir, two square
tunnel entrances to a mountain and tracks from objects that have moved up
hill. Major Peterson had his own sightings; on one occasion he was given information
by a Swedish contactee who confirmed that there were fifteen human looking
extraterrestrials living and working in Sweden. Whilst waiting at the airport
for Adamski to land, he saw a saucer following his inbound plane.
[17]
Adamski's report of seeing 'billions and
billions of fireflies.... flickering everywhere', when he visited the
dark side of the Moon on one of the Venusian craft, however, was backed up
eight years later, when US astronaut John Glen returned from a space flight
reporting the very same 'fireflies'.
[18]
Evidence
and Analysis
Madeleine
Rodeffer, a government employee and colleague of Adamski, witness and filmed
a Venusian craft over her house. She used an 8mm Bellingham movie camera and allowed Adamski
to continue the filming (images on left). Subsequently she met some of the
ET’s who arrived in a car to speak with adamski. She claims that they look
like ordinary Americans; some with dark hair and some with light hair.
[19]
Jim Dilettoso
[20]
is a well known and respected expert in
the field; his specialty is photographic and video analysis. Mr. Dilettoso
had this to say on the matter of Adamski's work, what follows are his own
words, written by himself in response to questions concerning the Adamski photos. Jim has this to say on
the matter, this is a direct quote.
Regarding
the Adamski photos. There is no 'proof' of a hoax. In fact, there is no photogrammetric
or computer analysis of the Adamski case indicating a small object or a HOAX.
People say what they say, quoting a rumor as truth, or convert
their opinion to scientific fact. Issues in image analysis are very precise.
Small objects have very different properties from large objects; in particular,
the edges and the light distribution on the surface.
I have examined over 1000 photographs (unknowns) in 25 plus
years, including over 50 control objects (models). I use advanced tools, extract
data from the unknown and compare it to data of knowns. If you get a match-
it's called a "known". No match- it's an "unknown" The
properties of the Adamski craft do not match those of a small model, an optical
overlay, or a hoax. Technically speaking, there is no indication of a hoax.
It is an unknown.
[21]
William Sherwood, Optical Physicist Eastman
Kodak analyzed Rodiffer’s film. Sherwood went to the exact location, calculated
the distance as 90 foot, triangulated the image size and concluded the disk
to be 27ft. diameter. The conclusion was that Rodeffer’s film was true.
[22]
This view was shared by Bob Oechler; Mission
Specialist of NASA Spacecraft Center, who noticed that there was this haze
around the craft and portions of the craft seem to change shape due to the
effects of some kind of radiation or energy field. Oechler stated that this
alone surpassed any testimony from Adamski or Rodiffer.
[23]
One
of the witnesses to Adamski’s encounter, Mr. George Williamson, employed at
the Veterans Administration hospital at Whipple,
Arizona, made a sketch and photograph
of the Venusians footprint and, being an amateur anthropologist, brought out
some plaster of paris from his car and made cast of the weird footprints.
A photograph from a sketch of these footprints appeared with a feature article
in the Nov. 24 edition of the Phoenix Gazette.
"A Preliminary Report
on Analysis of Symbols from the Footprints left by the Man from Outer Space."
These prints show two different patterns on the right and left foot. One figure,
that of the swastika, is described as based upon the clock of the universe,
the big dipper revolving about the North Star. Other figures are described
by Williamson as having their roots of meaning in the universal symbols of
the star groupings in the universe.
[24]
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: “a beautiful golden ship in the sunset, but
brighter than the sunset . . . It slowly faded out, the way they do.
[25]
Debunking
The arrival of the Space Brothers became a
threat to the military. Majestic twelve, a secret control group, also known
as the shadow government, ordered the Psychological Strategy Board to debunk
UFO sightings and cases involving ET contacts with humans. According to Leslie
they feared these contacts could lead to the public knowledge and access of
free energy, resulting in the loss of power and control over the oil industry.
The Robertson Panel
[26]
was a committee commissioned by the Central
Intelligence Agency in 1952 in response to widespread reports of unidentified
flying objects, especially in the Washington, D.C.
area. The panel was briefed on U.S.
military activities and intelligence; hence the report was originally classified
Secret. The Robertson Panel
issued a report recommending an education program based on debunking flying
saucers.
[27]
The governments had been made aware that the extraterrestrials
were vehemently against nuclear technology; used for making weapons. Adamski
had spoken of free energy, which radiates around the planets.
The government propaganda machine sprung into
operation and a 2-tier relationship with Adamski had begun. On the one hand
there was a program of covert debunking, whilst on the other hand Adamski
was courted by the government and given an Ordnance
Pass to visit any government
department in Washington.
This was confirmed by William Sherwood of Eastman Kodak who himself had such
a pass.
[28]
It is always possible that some of Adamski’s
stories were a little over the top, perhaps embellished somewhat; the result
of continuously being challenged for evidence; totally understandable, however
it has to be reemphasized that Adamski reported the “Firefly” phenomenon in
space long before astronaut John Glen reported such years later?
The debunking continued with stories and accusations
that the pictures of Scout ships were taken using wooden models.
[29]
This was despite the fact that the exact same craft were
seen in many other countries including a landing in the lake district of England. After a blonde beautiful
looking man had left Adamski’s Hotel room, he was accused of being a homosexual.
Other critics pointed out that his book “Inside the Spaceships” 1955 was copied
verbatim from one of his earlier novels. Finally in 1965 when Adamski had
passed away rumors were spread that he died a wealthy man mainly from fees
gained as a result of his lecture tours.
World
Lecture Tours
Adamski founded the "Royal
Order of Tibet," which held its meetings in the "Temple of Scientific Philosophy.” He gave lectures
which were well attended by people across the social spectrum which included
military personal. Adamski toured several countries lecturing on the spiritual
lessons derived from his contacts. After a meeting with the Queen Juliana
of the Netherlands,
Dutch Aeronautical Association president Cornelis Kolff said, "The
Queen showed an extraordinary interest in the whole subject”.
Adamski reported to Leslie that he was sent to visit the
Pope and deliver a sealed package from the ETs. Leslie said that he later
checked with Lou Zinsstag, who had allegedly taken Adamski to the Vatican.
Zinsstag reported that when they had approached the Vatican and neared the private entrance,
a man with "purple at his throat" (apparently a monsignor or a bishop)
appeared.
Adamski had cried out, "That's my man!”
greeted the papal official, and was led in for an audience with the pope.
Zinsstag said that when he reappeared about 20 minutes later, Adamski appeared
to be in the same state of excitement and rapture as witnesses had described
him being in after his desert contact with the space brothers in 1952.
[30]
Verification
of his visit to Pope John 23rd was his possession a gold medallion
with the Popes head embossed on one side. Leslie tells of how his close friend
Cardinal Basel Hume explained that such a medal could not be bought and that
Adamski must have done something quite important to have received such a gift.
Adamski’s
influence had spread across the globe. The right hand side of the August 1978
Grenada commemorative
stamp (on right) depicts George Adamski's UFO sighting on May 29, 1950. Sir Eric Matthew Gairy served as Premier of
Granada from 1967 till 1974. He was considered a dictator by most and mentally
unstable due to his belief in UFOs and his speeches on UFOs at the United
Nations (Allegedly a dead ET was found
on Granada).
Gairy began lobbying the UN in 1977 to create an agency or department to start
research on UFO and extraterrestrial life. The result of this was the UN's
seminal resolution (33/426) on extraterrestrial life in 1978.
Was this purely coincidental
or was Adamski in some way a catalyst to these events?
[31]
Adamski
as a Hybrid
Leslie cites an occasion when Adamski was at his
residence; he lifted his shirt to reveal a tummy without a naval. Instead
he had slits radiating outwards from where the naval should be. Astounded,
Leslie remarked “George, just who are you?” to which Adamski recalled
that when he was 4 years of age he was briefly taken away and brought back
unharmed by a complete stranger. Adamski had no memory of exactly what had
happened during that time.
The question remains; was Adamski a hybrid
or was this part of the story pure fantasy by Leslie ahead of the launch of
a few books? My opinion is that it was in all probabilities quite true. The
charismatic Leslie was part of a dissemination program by the ETs and the
uttering of such a strange description truly resonates and amplifies the story
of George Adamski, throughout the generations, even after the living bridges
to this era have passed on.
Final
resting place
Alice
Wells (illustrator) [Flying Saucers - 50 Years Later by C. A. Honey] petitioned
the appropriate agencies for interment at Arlington due to Adamski’s services in the American
Mexican war. Of course nothing could be further from the truth for only
service personal and service diplomats are considered for interment at Arlington.
[32]
After
all it is said that Adamski briefed Kennedy during the Cuban Missile crises.
It was resolved was it not? Adamski once confided in Leslie: “My heart is a graveyard of secrets”.
[33]
Similar
Cases in Common.
The cases involving George Adamski (1891–1965),
the pioneer, and his quickly emerging competitors, Truman Bethurum (1898–1969),
George Van Tassel (1910–1978), Daniel W. Fry (1908–1992), Orfeo Angelucci
(1912–1993), George King (1919–1997), Buck Nelson (1894–1982 all have one
thing in common; the uplifting of the human race and the survival of the planet.
The era of the “Contactees” or “Space Brothers”
came to an abrupt end in the US with Betty Hill (1920–2004), who
introduced a new paradigm to replace Adamski's by now.
Extra terrestrials do walk and live amongst
us. Whether it is the Clarion, Suel in Italy
[34]
, Nordics in Sweden
or the Clarion, Aura Rhanes
[35]
in America,
human looking ETs are here and always have been. In the past they were described
as angels. As our technology and conciousness advances, so we begin to see
these spiritual entities as higher dimensionality beings that have come to
a hostile planet Earth to assist us in balancing our technology with the harmonics
of the universe.
“Humans
are not that familiar with those vibrations only of earth’s tangabilities.”
Leslie realized that these and many sightings
took place near nuclear installations. What is the ultimate purpose of life
and contact? The soul is the essence of a being that is in a state of ignorance,
being in a material body. The earth is a school to elevate consciousness.
Adamski and the other contactees had met the teachers.
