Biography of George Adamski.
George Adamski, born in Bromberg (Kingdom of Prussia) on 17 April 1891 and died on 23 April 1965 in Silver Springs Maryland United States, is a famous case of no one claiming to have been contacted by extraterrestrials.
He claimed to have met on November 20, 1952, a Venusian, named Orthon, near Desert Center in California. This meeting and those that followed him inspired books that were bookstore successes in the West (1.) : Flying Saucers Have Landed (co-written with Desmond Leslie) in 1953 (The flying saucers have landed, 1954), Inside the Space Ships in 1955 (Inside spaceships, 1979) and Flying Saucers Farewell in 1961 (The Farewell to Saucers, 1985).
Biography
Self-taught and teaching universal laws at conferences, he is interested in astronomy and flying saucers, claiming to have taken photographs of them using a telescope. From 1952, he claims to have been contacted by the occupant of an extraterrestrial vessel, which he describes as follows :
"The man looked like any other man, and I noticed that he was relatively smaller than me and considerably younger. [...] So for the first time I really realized that I was in the presence of a space man - a human from another world! The beauty of her appearance exceeded anything I had seen. And the appealing aspect of his face freed me from all personal thought. I felt like a little child in the presence of someone with great intelligence and love, and I became very humble about myself ... from him emanated the feeling of an understanding and of infinite kindness, with absolute humility. "
Adamski claims to have met several times this "man", Orthon the Venusian, who will take him on a ride in his vehicle and give him messages of peace, expressing concern about the US nuclear tests.
In the 1950s, little is known about Venus because the planet is constantly shrouded in clouds. We imagine a very humid atmosphere, forests populated by large reptiles and the possibility of a human life, a vision that will not be abandoned until 1978 after the landing of the Pioneer 2 probe on the Venusian soil and the indication of a temperature of about 450 ° C (2.)
In 1955, Adamski's words were echoed by Charlotte Blodget in Inside the space ships, a book in which the "fireflies of space" (twinkling particles around space booths) are mentioned, and what would be the Van Allen belts (3.)
As early as 1959, Adamski was plagiarized by a certain Howard Menger who affirms, in a book later translated into French under the title My friends the men of space, to have been also on Venus and even to have married a Venusian (4.)
On May 31, 1963, Adamski claimed to have met Pope John XXIII in his room at the Vatican, and found him in good shape, when in fact he was dying of late-stage cancer. The pope died three days later, on June 3rd.
Adamski died on April 23, 1965 of a heart attack in Silver Springs, Maryland, USA. He is buried, as a veteran at the Heroes' Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia (United States).
A George Adamski foundation was established in 1965 in Vista, California by his daughter.
Reality or deception ?
George Adamski, from his first interventions until today, has continued to divide the ufologist clans.
For some, there is no doubt that he was really in touch with the extraterrestrials. They cite, for example, his meetings with important figures such as President Kennedy, the Queen of the Netherlands Juliana or Pope John XXIII. According to them, the latter would have given him a high honor Vatican. The pro-Adamski also claim that some of the conversations he would have had with his extraterrestrial emissary describe phenomena that science had not demonstrated at the time, such as Van Allen's belts or holographic images.
On the other hand, anti-Adamski describe him as a clever trickster. In fact, he never described Van Allen's belts; in his book Inside The Space Ships, he simply spoke of a zone of artificial radioactive pollution, following our nuclear tests, which would have surrounded the Earth. His meeting with the pope would be a trickery, the latter being dying on his deathbed at the time of the alleged meeting. The honorary medal he would have received would actually be a commercially sold medal. Adamski implied that he had met Kennedy, but he never dared to state it clearly. His photographs are real effects made with a model whose main part was a pressure lamp.
If for some Adamski is "the first man in space", Major Edward Keyhoe will call him "hamburger stand operator", relaying the general thinking of most ufologist scientists, for whom Adamski will have done great harm to their studies, their mystifications greatly contribute to discredit their discipline.
