Alien Base: The Evidence for Extraterrestrial Colonization of Earth – The Space People: THE MOTHER SHIP
Alerted by Orthon that the scout was about to land on the mother ship, Adamski watched in astonishment as, in the solid wall behind the bench, a round hole began to open out, similar to the iris of a camera, until it was about 18 inches wide. This turned out to be one of the portholes, arranged in series around the cabin. Adamski reasoned there must be four on each side of the craft, making a total of eight is indicated in the photographs taken in December 1952). Through the portholes, Adamski could see the giant carrier craft, 40,000 feet above the Earth.
As we came nearer, its huge bulk seemed to stretch away almost out of sight, and I could see its vast sides curving outward and downward. Slowly, very slowly, we drew nearer until we were almost on top of the great carrier. I was not astonished when my companion told me she was about one hundred and fifty feet in diameter and close to two thousand feet in length.
The spectacle of that giant cigar-shaped carrier ship hanging there motionless in the stratosphere will never dim in my memory The scoutcraft descended then entered a hatch which had appeared on top of the carrier ship and glided down on two rails, the rate of descent apparently controlled by friction and the magnetism of the saucer’s flange.
The craft no longer under its own power, Adamski found himself subjected to the normal forces of gravity, and once nearly lost his balance. Arriving on the platform of a ‘huge hangar or storage deck’ inside the bowels of the carrier ship, the craft was met by a crew member — of a dark complexion and wearing a beret-type cap — holding something that looked like a clamp attached to a cable.
This was connected to the flange of the scoutcraft in order to ‘recharge’ it. ‘These smaller craft are incapable of generating their own power to any great extent,’ explained Firkon, ‘and make only relatively short trips from their carriers before returning for recharge. They are used for a kind of shuttle service between the large ships and any point of contact or observation, and are always dependent on full recharging from the power plant of the mother ship.’
Adamski and his companions proceeded to a large control room, rectangular in shape but with rounded corners. With the exception of two door openings, the entire room — about 45 feet long — was covered with coloured graphs and charts. Among other instruments in the room was a robot-type device which Adamski was cautioned not to describe, a miniature version of which he had observed in the scoutcraft. After a brief look round, he was shown into a lounge, the splendour yet simplicity of which took his breath away.
Not less than 40 feet square and about 15 feet high, the room was filled with a ‘soft, mysterious blue-white light’, with no trace of its source. As he stepped in, Adamski was greeted by two ‘incredibly lovely young women’, who offered him a glass of water, of a denser type than found on Earth.
His description of these women reads like something out of a fairy tale: The one who had brought me the water was about five feet three inches in height. Her skin was very fair and her golden hair hung in waves to just below her shoulders in a beautiful symmetry. Her eyes, too, were more golden than any other colour . . . Her almost transparent skin was without blemish of any kind, exquisitely delicate, though firm and possessed of a warm radiance. Her features were finely chiselled, the ears small, the white teeth beautifully even.
She looked very young . . . Her hands were slender, with long, tapering fingers. I noticed that neither she nor her companion wore make-up of any kind . . .
Adamski called this Venusian’ woman ‘Kalna’ and the other — a ‘Martian’ — ‘Ilmuth’. The latter, a brunette, was taller than Kalna, with large black ‘luminous’ eyes. Both women wore robes of a veil-like material which fell to their ankles, bound to their waists by a girdle of a contrasting colour, and tiny sandals.
The room was furnished with a long table surrounded with chairs, divans and settees of different designs and sizes, but lower and more comfortable than those on Earth. ‘They were covered in a material of a deep soft nap with a brocade effect,’ Adamski claimed. ‘The colours varied . . . rich, warm and subdued.’ Beside the chairs were low glass-or crystal-topped tables with decorative centre-pieces. The entire floor was covered by a single luxurious rug which reached to the walls, of a plain medium-brown colour.
Various pictures were placed around the walls, evidently depicting scenes from another planet, with completely different architecture. One picture showed a large mother ship. As the thought passed through Adamski’s mind that this was the craft they were on, Kalna corrected it ‘No, our ship is really very small in comparison,’ she said. ‘That one is more like a travelling city than a ship, since its length is several miles, while ours is only two thousand feet.’ Adamski struggled to comprehend such a fantastic size. ‘Many such ships have been built,’ Kalna continued. ‘However, they are not intended for the exclusive use of any particular planet, but for the purpose of contributing to the education and pleasure of all citizens in the whole brotherhood of the Universe.’
Adamski was taken up one level to the flight deck, where Firkon explained that the mother ship carried many pilots, working in shifts d four — two men and two women — as well as twelve scoutcraft and many mechanical devices, including pressurizing equipment installed between the walls. This particular ship, said Ilmuth (who was on the point of taking the controls), had four such walls or skins.
Suddenly, openings like portholes appeared in the walls, and both pilots took their places in small seats on opposite sides of the flight deck. ‘I felt a slight movement and the ship seemed to nose upward,’ reported Adamski. ‘We are now about 50,000 miles from your Earth,’ said Ilmuth.
Firkon then invited Adamski to look out of one of the portholes. What he said he saw in 1953 is corroborated by views described by some astronauts years later. With other corroborations, it persuades me that not all of George Adamski’s encounters with the ‘space people’ were fantasies nor were they all the product of deception
