From Dragon at the End of Time: HERO QUEST by Janet Kira Lessin (CEO, Aquarian Media)
Contactee Heroes of the 40s and 50s
Contactee heroes from the 1940s and 1950s defied convention, criticism, judgment, and prejudice to tell their truths and reveal that aliens were contacting them. These heroes risked mockery and shame to usher humanity into a new dawn of potential progress and discovery, one that could solve Earth’s problems and bring about a golden age.
Their peers may have scorned them, but looking back through fresh eyes and with new information, we see them as brave pioneers. Good job, indeed. They tried—and we ignored them.
George Adamski: Face-to-Face ET Contact & Spaceship Rides
Polish-American author George Adamski (1891–1965) displayed numerous photographs of alien spacecraft in the 1940s and 1950s. Adamski was the first and most celebrated of the so-called UFO contactees who emerged during the 1950s.
Adamski claimed he met friendly Nordic “Space Brothers” who flew him to the Moon and other planets.
-
- October 1946 – During a meteor shower at the Palomar Gardens campground, Adamski and friends witnessed a large cigar-shaped “mother ship.”
-
- 1947 – He photographed another cigar-shaped mother ship passing in front of the Moon at Palomar Gardens. He reported seeing 184 UFOs fly over Palomar Gardens in one night.
-
- 1949 – Adamski began lecturing on UFOs in Southern California. He claimed that “the government and science authenticated UFOs (through radar tracking) of 700-foot-long space vessels on the far side of the Moon.”
He also told audiences that the planets of Earth’s solar system were inhabited, and that photos from the Mount Palomar Observatory substantiated that the canals on Mars were human-made.
November 20, 1952: Meeting with Orthon
On this day, Adamski and several companions observed a massive, submarine-shaped craft hovering over the desert near Desert Center, California. Adamski separated from his companions and turned off the main road, claiming the vessel was seeking him.
A scout ship, made of translucent metal, landed nearby. Its pilot, a Venusian named Orthon, emerged. From a distance, Adamski’s companions saw him meeting with an individual in the desert. Adamski later provided a detailed description of Orthon—listen to it in the video linked above.
Adamski’s Writings
Adamski published three major books describing his encounters and travels aboard alien spacecraft:
-
- Flying Saucers Have Landed (with Desmond Leslie, 1953)
-
- Inside the Space Ships (1955)
-
- Flying Saucers Farewell (1961)
The first two books were bestsellers, selling over 200,000 copies by 1960. His works gained wide popularity in the U.S. and Japan, shaping much of the modern image of extraterrestrials and flying saucers.

GEORGE ADAMSKI REPORTED FACE-TO-FACE ET CONTACT & SPACESHIP RIDES The Polish-American author George Adamski (1891–1965) displayed numerous photographs of alien spacecraft in the 1940s and 1950s. Adamski was the initial and most celebrated of all the so-called UFO contactees that emerged in the 1950s.
Adamski said he met with friendly NORDIC ALIEN SPACE BROTHERS. He said they flew him to the Moon and other planets.

In October 1946, during a meteor shower at the Palomar Gardens campground, Adamski and friends witnessed a large cigar-shaped “mother ship.
In 1947, Adamski snapped a photo of another cigar-shaped mother ship passing in front of the Moon at Palomar Gardens. He said he had seen 184 UFOs fly over Palomar Gardens one night. In 1949, Adamski gave lectures on UFOs to civic organizations in Southern California. He said, “The government and science authenticated UFOs (through radar tracking) of 700-foot-long space vessels on the other side of the Moon.” He told his audiences that “the planets in Earth’s solar system have proven to have occupants and that photos from the Mount Palomar observatory substantiated that the canals on Mars were human-made.

On November 20, 1952, Adamski and a few of his confidants observed a huge, submarine-shaped object overhead in the Desert near Desert Center, California. Adamski left his companions and turned off the main road. He said the vessel was looking for him.
A scout craft made of translucent metal landed near Adamski. The craft’s pilot, a Venusian known as Orthon, disembarked. From a distance, the people with Adamski saw him encounter an individual in the desert. Adamski provided a detailed description of Orthon; hear it in the video accompanying this article.

Adamski wrote three books about his meetings with Nordic aliens and his treks on their spacecraft. He wrote “Flying Saucers Have Landed” (co-authored with Desmond Leslie) (1953), “Inside the Space Ships” (1955), and “Flying Saucers Farewell” (1961). The first two books were bestsellers; by 1960, they had sold 200,000 copies. Adamski’s writings gained great renown in the U.S. and Japan, helping to create the popular image of extraterrestrials and flying saucers.
