Joseph Mansour, head of Jetex Model Aircraft Company (UK) and expert model photographer: “The reasons that I believe Adamski’s photographs are not of models is that I think he himself is incapable of making a model sufficiently good from which these photographs could be faked. . . . I think it would have been extremely dangerous for him to have attempted a fraud of this description, and the contraption attached to his telescope which was used for photographing saucers leaving the moon etc. is so amateurish that this was another reason why I concluded that he himself had not used a model, as either he or possibly his photographer friend would have had to make it in the first place.” It was his opinion that “it would be impossible without the expenditure of a large sum of money, and doubtfully even then, to make any model resemble the strange craft…” ( Source: Letter to Waveney Girvan, editor of Flying Saucer Review, dated November 1954) Curtis Peebles.

His next sighting came in August 1947. This time, it wasn’t just a single object but a procession of them—at least 184 by his count. Then, in late 1949, at what he said was the urging of the U.S. military, he attached a camera to his six-inch telescope and began scanning the skies at every opportunity. Soon he had what he considered two good UFO pictures.

Peverell Marley, who had served with the Enemy Interceptor Command in World War II and later became a celebrated cameraman who worked with director Cecil B. DeMille, stated that “Adamski’s pictures, if faked, were the cleverest he had ever seen”. He pointed out that “the shadows on the saucers, and also on the ground, corresponded to such a remarkable degree that they could not be faked, and that to fake such pictures would require costly equipment which Adamski, obviousy, does not possess and which, even then, could not assure such a result.” ( Source: Meeting of Air Force Reserve Officers on flying saucer activity, 1 June 1953. Note: According to James Moseley, when asked Mr Marley later denied making this statement, although such denials are not at all uncommon in a field so ridden with controversy as Ufology.) Serious UFO investigators scoffed, but other people all over the world believed, even as Adamski's tales grew ever more outrageous. Adamski's 1955 book Inside the Space Ships recounted his adventures with Venusians, Martians, and Saturnians, who had come to Earth out of concern for humanity's self-destructive ways. These "Space Brothers," as Adamski and his disciples called them, proved a long-winded lot, fond of platitudes and full of tedious metaphysical blather. In his writings, Adamski claimed he travelled to Venus, Mars, and other planets in Earth's solar system, and clearly stated that they were all capable of supporting humanoid life. [21] As UFO historian Jerome Clark noted, "some Adamski partisans insisted that Venus, Mars, Saturn, and the rest were merely code words for planets in other solar systems; there is, however, nothing in Adamski's public writings to support this interpretation and considerable testimony to the contrary."

George Adamski (17 April 1891 – 23 April 1965) was a Polish- American author who became widely known in ufology circles, and to some degree in popular culture, after he displayed numerous photographs in the 1940s and 1950s that he said were of alien spacecraft, claimed to have met with friendly Nordic alien Space Brothers, and claimed to have taken flights with them to the Moon and other planets.

I felt like a little child in the presence of one with great wisdom and much love…” In the Transformers toy line, the Transformer Cosmos (Transformers) transforms into an Adamski-style Haunebu saucer. The Japanese toy even uses "Adams" as its name. In 1957 Adamski received a letter signed "R.E. Straith," alleged representative of the "Cultural Exchange Committee" of the U.S. State Department. The letter said the U.S. Government knew that Adamski had spoken to extraterrestrials in a California desert in 1952, and that a group of highly placed government officials planned on public corroboration of Adamski's story. Adamski was proud of this endorsement and exhibited it to support his claims. [34]

[ permanent dead link] He seems to have had little formal education, though the press would later refer to him as “Professor Adamski”—a habit he appears to have encouraged. The Venusian’s flesh was as soft as a baby’s, Adamski reported after they touched palms, while his “hair was sandy in color and hung in beautiful waves to his shoulders, glistening more beautifully than any woman’s I have ever seen.”Adamski was born in Bromberg in the Kingdom of Prussia, German Empire. He was one of five siblings born to ethnic Polish parents, Józef Adamski (1867–1937) and Franciszka Adamska (1862–1946). [6] On 9 October 1946, during a meteor shower, Adamski and some friends claimed that while they were at the Palomar Gardens campground, they witnessed a large cigar-shaped " mother ship." [6] In early 1947, Adamski took a photograph of what he claimed was the 1946 cigar-shaped "mother ship" crossing in front of the Moon over Palomar Gardens. [6] In the summer of 1947, following the first widely publicized UFO sightings in the US, Adamski claimed he had seen 184 UFOs pass over Palomar Gardens one evening. [15]
