Defending George Adamski

Image
I asked myself: Are these comments for real? Recently I had two comments posted at my blog regarding my article, George Adamski & Our Amazing CRT Solar System .  George was one of the most famous contactees of his time.  He claimed that on November 20, 1952 he met a Venusian visitor named Orthon in the Colorado Desert.  Instead of a many-tentacled monstrous blob Orthon looked human, his features the archetype of the Nordic alien. George claimed he traveled to other planets in our solar system thanks to the Space Brothers.  In his third and final book, Flying Saucers Farewell, he explained how other planets far away from the sun were still hospitable, sunny and warm, due to the solar system acting like a cathode ray tube (CRT.)  It sounded like some inventive but wild rationalization for what he saw and what scientists had actually discovered. Both commenters came to George's defense.  Maybe one or both are jokers, putting me on, but their comment...

A Ufoologist And His Money Soon Parted

 I nvestigative journalist Jaime Maussan and friend      In the field of ufology there is a body of non-evidence regarding alien visitors to this world.   Actually it’s more appropriate to refer to bodies of non-evidence.      Believers in ET visitors are so desperate for proof that they will believe in any alleged alien corpse that seemingly fell out of a flying saucer’s garbage chute.   And when such proof turns out to be bunk they say that the claim of a hoax is a hoax.   (Does that mean that a claim that a hoax is a hoax is itself another hoax?)     The late great editor/writer Jim Moseley, perpetrator of the zine Saucer Smear, referred to the extreme believers as ufoologists.      When researching tales of dead alien bodies the name Jaime Maussan pops up.   Maussan is a Mexican investigative journalist who critics say is too obsessed with UFOs and aliens.   Others call him...

Ma and Pa Kent now rue the day they voted for Donald Trump. See what happens when those damn technocrats take over? The illegal alien situation is getting way out of hand.

Giving Them Enough Rope Ladder To Hang Themselves

The two miners -- known to be sober and truthful -- asked the sheriff if they could shoot at a flying saucer that had been trespassing on their camp. Over at his site -- The Flying Saucers That Time Forgot -- Curt Collins covers this event with the post "Flying Saucer Ambush: Brush Creek, CA, 1953."  (Link: http://bit.ly/2hMLIWv ) Curt shares news clippings about the miners and their unusual situation. For me all the details with any UFO/flying saucer story have to fit.  When even one key detail is dubious then the whole story is suspect. Of course newspaper reporters can make mistakes.  For example the articles don't match up regarding the miners's activity.  They are described as either mining gold or titanium.  Or maybe they kept changing their story a bit with each interview. The gist of the story is that on two occasions -- both on the 20th of each month at 6:30 PM -- a saucer would appear, landing on a sandbar with its tripod legs.  A dim...
