The Space People

Alien Base: The Evidence for Extraterrestrial Colonization of Earth – The Space People

Nothing is more certain to provoke derision during a conversation about UFOs than the name of George Adamski, whose initial story of his contact with an extraterrestrial in 1952 was the first contactee case to become known to the general public. This fact alone is important. As we have seen, there have been a number of stories by others claiming contacts prior to 1952 but, as far as I am aware, none of these was published widely until the mid-1950s.

Adamski’s ‘Aryan’ space people have never gone down well. Indeed, in some circles they inspired rumours that Hitler was alive and well and living in Patagonia, together with teams of Nazis who were building fleets of flying saucers in preparation for world domination. Adamski’s space people were not all fair-skinned, however. As he pointed out during a private meeting in Denmark in 1963: ‘People on other planets are coloured too, just like we find here. Orthon himself is dark: not as dark as a Negro, but darker than you and
me.’

This brings to mind the ‘Hindu-looking’ spacemen reported by Rose C. and other contactees.
