The Adamski UFO

In the late 1940’s, the UFO craze began to engulf the world. There have been numerous sightings of Alien craft and reports of abduction from various sources over the years. But at the burgeoning of the craze, these were much more colorful accountings and people gave notice to every story of the strange hoping to find the evidence of life existing far from our world. Of these stories, perhaps the most interesting came from Polish-born American by the name of George Adamski.

Adamski owned a burger stand that was situated near an observatory; this is what probably turned his attention to space. He purchased a telescope and claimed to be regularly seeing UFOs. While traveling with some friends in the desert in 1952, he spotted a giant UFO overhead. Convinced that the craft’s occupants wanted to communicate with him, he told his friends to wait while he ventured off to meet with the visitors.

The Alien from the Adamski UFO, Orthon came from the planet Venus. He was human in appearance, but was blonde and more beautiful than most people. He spoke to Adamski using telepathy, English and hand gestures. His clothing was strange; he wore odd-looking trousers and shoes which made strange and mysterious markings in the sand. Orthon communicated to Adamski that there were a total of twelve planets in the galaxy and that each had highly-evolved human inhabitants like himself. It was a community which Adamski called the Space Brothers.

The Space Brothers’ concern was the beginning of atomic testing on the Earth. Orthon feared that radiation would somehow leak into space and cause damage to the Alien worlds. Parts of the story were corroborated by the witnesses, who later retracted their corroboration and denied it ever happened.

Adamski managed to construct a miniature industry around his extraterrestrial contacts and himself. He cashed in on books that he co-wrote, and supplemented it with newsletter earnings and telepathy courses he marketed for his followers. Conveniently, Adamski relayed that the Space Brothers did not allow photographic evidence of themselves, but the Adamski UFO pictures can be found on the George Adamski Foundation website.

Eventually, Adamski’s claims became more bizarre. He lost a lot of his support. One claim he made was that he had been taken on a tour of the solar system by the Space Brothers. He told of his landing on Venus and of a convention he attended on Saturn.

We now have a greater understanding of the Solar System than we did back in his day. And we know with absolute certainty that the planets Adamski claimed sustained life and civilizations, actually cannot support human life at all.

When a Soviet satellite released pictures of the barren surface of the Moon, Adamski tried to denounce them as fakes. He made claims that the other side of the Moon contained green pastures and flowing rivers. He soon began to lose his following and towards the end he was widely regarded as a hoaxer.

The Adamski UFO is still a popular topic today, and some are still believers who take his work seriously.
