WK8P1: The Contactee
Movement
Steven Greer’s CE 5
• Greer’s method called CE 5
• Later development of J. Allen
Hynek’s concept
• Contacts that are initiated by the
humans
• Via various techniques of
meditation and Eastern spiritual
practices
• Experiences and method are not
unique
The Contactees
• In the late 1940’s and into the 1960’s
• Derisively called the ‘lunatic fringe’ by
the UFO communities
• Claimed to have seen extraterrestrials
and their crafts
• To have had contact with such beings
• To have been taken rides in their flying
saucers.
• With messages for mankind:
• World peace, human brotherhood,
and the need for nuclear
disarmament.
Common Traits of Early Contact
• Focusing on Mars, Venus, and
the Moon.
• Contact was often established by
some psychic/occult means.
• A new branch of occult religion
• Many of its early participants
had ties to such groups.
Contactees George Adamski and Dan Fry
Nick Redfern
• “It might come as
a disappointment to
extraterrestrial nut-
and-bolters, but…
Such ethereal
beings are part of
the structure of that
much-despised and
rather unfashionable
idea described by
the phrase
mystical experience.
”
George Adamski
• Adamski wasn’t the first person to claim
he’d met an alien,
• But he was the first to go public post-
1947.
• Most famous “contactee.”
• Seized the imagination of popular culture.
• Telling tales of ‘actual’ meetings with
spacemen
• ‘Actual’ rides on spacecraft.
• Adamski was able to keep peoples’
interest
• Able to connect his Theosophical
speculations with the UFO craze

photos
Palomar Gardens
• In 1944, moved to Palomar
Gardens
• Claims to have seen his first
“spaceship” on October 9, 1946.
• George got into aerial photography,
using his telescope.
• Several of his photographs gained
media
• In 1949 published science-fiction
novel
• Pioneers of Space: A Trip to the
Moon, Mars, and Venus.
• Material therein would reappear as
part of a factual encounter.
Mount Palomar Observatory
• In 1949 works as a cook at
a small roadside restaurant
• The restaurant’s customers
were mostly tourists
• On their way to Mount
Palomar Observatory
• Many associate his address
with the observatory
Adamski meets Orthon
• November 20, 1952, first face-to-
face meeting reportedly occurred
• Near Desert Center, in the
California desert.
• Six witnesses who later signed a
sworn affidavit.
• Adamski meets Orthon, a man
from Venus
• In Flying Saucers Have Landed
(1953).
• Co-author Desmond Leslie
Encounter with Orthon
• Orthon’s saucer descends from a
huge “Mother Ship”
• Smooth-skinned, beardless, and
well dressed.
• Shoulder-length blond hair
• About five feet six inches tall
• Ski suit with a broad belt around
the waist.
A visitor from Venus at Desert Center
• Of the
encounter,
George
wrote:
• “…I felt
like a little
child in
the
presence
of one
with great
wisdom
and much
love…”
Orthon’s Revelations
• He was from the planet
Venus
• In an earlier life he had
lived upon earth.
• Behind flying discs seen
around the world
• Many lived on earth
unbeknownst
Adamski’s Call to Enlighten Humankind
• Communicating by telepathy
• Space Peoples’ friendly intentions
• Concern over “radiations from our
nuclear tests.”
• Earthlings had better start living
according to the laws of the
“Creator of All”
• Sounded very similar to Adamski’s
Theosophical teachings
• Must serve as a channel to
enlighten humankind
Footprints in the Sand
• Adamski discovered clearly
defined footprints in the sand
• Distinguished by strange
symbols and figures.
• George Hunt Williamson made
casts of the prints
• A sketch of which is included in
the book.
Visit as Vessel of Higher Truth?
• In a letter to a close friend, Adamski
wrote:
• “Sometimes you have to use the back
door to get the Truth across.”
• On Adamski’s behalf, it can be said that
he was trying to get across certain truths
• Desmond Leslie in the foreword to
Adamski’s second book:
• “We are in no position to sit and split
hairs when the very foundations of this
planet are teetering on disaster. Read,
then, the following with an open mind
and see whether the light of its teaching
rings true.” (Adamski, 1955)
Socio-religious Teachings Reworked
• Sociologist David Stupple pointed out:
• Adamski and most of the other leading
contactees of the 1950s were utopians.
• Were flying saucers merely a means to an
end for him and his new age occultism?
• The old ideas of the theosophists
reclothed in a new mythos
• More in line with the spirit of the age that
caught fire in public consciousness.
Author Desmond Leslie
Adamski’s Earlier Occult Participation
• Rooted in the Theosophist tradition
• Adamski founded the ‘Royal Order of
Tibet’ in Southern California in 1934.
• Taught Theosophist ideas of ‘universal
laws’ or ‘universal progressive
Christianity.’
• Author of several books and pamphlets
prior to his extraterrestrial experiences
• Teachings suspiciously mirror those of
Adamski’s Space Brothers
• ‘Space Brothers’ resemble the ascended
masters
Rethinking Adamski via Theosophy
• As with theosophical masters
• Orthon indicated that he had
once lived on this Earth.
• To be the end result of a long
process of reincarnation
• ‘Only one who through countless
incarnations has attained great
spirituality can hope to operate
such a [spaceship] unaided.’
On the 20th November (1952)
• Enter Mr. and Mrs. Williamson with Mr. and
Mrs. Bailey
• They were 4 of the 6 people in company
with George Adamski…
• Williamson was a self-described
anthropologist
• Interested in the native American accounts
of saucer like flying gods
• Bailey was a rail conductor and a seriously
devoted amateur anthropologist
• They both had corresponded about flying
saucers
• Williamson, George. The Saucers Speak: Calling All Occupants of Interplanetary Craft (p. 76). Unknown. Kindle Edition.
George Hunt Williamson
• “I was with George Adamski in
November of 1952…The event as it is
described…is accurate and true…
However, our work in flying saucers
started long before our contact with Mr.
Adamski.”-From A Lecture Given By George Hunt Williamson On Monday,
June 21, 1954 in Detroit, Michigan
• The Saucers Speak (1954)
• Explains they had several months earlier
established contact with E.T.s
• When correspondences finally garnered
a friendly visit
• Williamson, George. The Saucers Speak: Calling All Occupants of Interplanetary Craft (p. 15).
Unknown. Kindle Edition.
Meeting the Baileys
• “One evening in late summer (1952), Mr. and Mrs. Alfred
C. Bailey of Winslow, Arizona, came to visit with my wife
and I in Prescott… We spent the… evening together in
Prescott enjoying a line supper in town and entertaining
ourselves with certain games and parlour tricks. One
amusing pastime known to many families as a diverting
trick is automatic writing. We thought it would be fun to
try it. We had heard that the idea was for one or two
people to hold a pencil over a sheet of paper and then see
if it would write some sort of a message. Although there
are some who seriously consider the writing obtained in
this manner to be genuine spirit communication, we never
had such thoughts in our minds. We were just doing what
many people will do in their own parlour for an evening’s
entertainment. In truth, since our dinner, we had just
about forgotten the elusive saucers, and now were having
a good time. What we did not know was the people of
other worlds were watching and waiting for a sign of
receptivity on the part of their brothers on Earth, standing
by and ready with their superior equipment to contact any
and all who sought the answer to their presence in the
skies of Earth. Little did we know what we had started with
our simple little amusement. It was to change our entire
life!”
• Williamson, George. The Saucers Speak: Calling All Occupants of Interplanetary Craft (pp. 41-43). Unknown. Kindle Edition.
George H. Williamson
• Downplaying of his awareness
and prior involvement with occult
• Became entranced by the occult
in his teens
• Deeply influenced by William
Dudley Pelley
• Star Guests (1950)
• Helped produce the group’s
monthly publication Valor.
Influence of William Dudley Pelley on
Williamson
• History remembers WDP as an
Occultist and Fascist sympathizer.
• Pelley had generated huge quantities
of communications via automatic
writing
• With "advanced disincarnate
intelligences“
• Pelley’s co-channeller as described in
the book was a prominent NY editor by
the name of Mary.
• Ideas a mixture
of theosophy, spiritualism, Rosicruciani
sm, and pyramidism.
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Hunt_Williamson &
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Dudley_Pelley#Spiritualism
Star Guests (1950) William Dudley Pelley
• 28th Oct. 1928, 9pm
• Author guest of a middle-aged
Manhattan editress (Mary) at her
personal apartment.
• We sat side by side on the divan, I
upon her right, and across our two
laps lay a four-foot writing board. On
the board was a pad of legal-sized
writing paper. The right cuff of my
hostess’s housecoat was turned back
so I could lightly clasp her wrist, and
held in her fingers was a vertical
pencil. This pencil was writing. The
pencil was writing, I say, not the lady.
That was the strange part.
The Automatic Writing Message
• “Memory is not Memory if we must forever make
new Thought-Bodies each time we give up our
material bodies. Man will someday known the
truth and then he will make new bodies in the
image of God. Make no mistake, we are those
now in the Light and we have much to tell you.
“Music of the Spheres” is no idle phrase, but the
center of the mystery of this, our universe. “Where
there is harmony there is life, and all discord is
death. We of the more harmonious planes, which
are next above the planes of earth, make this
statement to yours because you are of that
company whose bodies are yet of earth by whose
eyes are opened to perception of the truth. “Many
of us are with you, not alone at this moment but in
many moments when you are unaware of our
presences. We will make more power for you in all
that you undertake if you will but open yourselves
more completely to our touch…”
What Moves the Pencil?
• In trying to explain who was
writing, the editress claimed that it
was composed by Invisible
Intellects.
• Dudley asked if she meant spooks?
• She replied, “Illiterate people might
refer to them as spooks. Those of
us who’ve done considerable
research in such matters, have
satisfied ourselves there’s such a
thing as Disincarnate
Intelligence…”
William Dudley Pelley
• I found ways on my own after
returning to California to
transcribe over ONE MILLION
WORDS of information that I
contend belongs to the higher
octaves of life…
• For upwards of twenty-two years
now, I have been employing such
clairaudient faculties…
Station-Stop Planets Pelley’s Vision
• “WHAT were men and women? They
were cosmic bits of God, to put it in
ecclesiastical terms… Had they
derived biologically from the essences
of this residence-planet, as the
purblind scientist assumed? No, they
had not, according to this New
Intelligence now being revealed by
personages who called themselves
The Masters… Men and women, in the
creative sense, seemed to have been
derived from some other planet, or
some other set of star worlds, from
which they had voyaged celestially to
arrive on earth and find habitable.”
William Dudley Pelley
• Claimed he had an out-of-body
experience
• Travelled to other planes of
existence devoid of corporeal souls.
• "My Seven Minutes in Eternity",
• Published in The American
Magazine in the late 1920s.
• Ability to levitate, see through walls,
and have out-of-body experiences at
will.
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Hunt_Williamson &
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Dudley_Pelley#Spiritualism
Seven Minutes in Eternity (1929)
• In the late 1920s, Pelley lived in a California
bungalow with his dog Laska.
• One night he had two out of body experiences.
• In the first, he fell in a great blue mist till he was
grabbed by two virulent men, put on a medical
examining table, and told to gather himself.
• He was naked but went swimming in a garden/pool
that made him lose this awareness.
• Subsequent he conversed with one man, Bill, who
had been an officer in the southern army of 1918
until he had died instaneously from friendly fire
from behind.
• Bill told Pelley that he’d been there on this other
plane many times and he had also been on earth
many times reincarnating.
The Second Sequence in Eternity
• In the second, he reenters the lucid dream state on
purpose that same night after hearing Bill call to him
to return that they weren’t done talking.
• This time he reenters without falling and meets many
people who are ideals that he feels that he has known
intimately throughout his many incarnations.
• Likewise, he attracts a living person who he knew back
on our plane of existence to him which is some kind of
astral zombie type of manifestation without eyes and
is possessed by some kind of fiendish agency that
suprises Pelley yet changes his perspective on the
worldly person who goes unnamed.
• Being chased by this type of eyeless zombie, he falls
out of the astral back into his material self, awaking in
his bedroom around 5am in the morning with Laska at
the foot of his bed.
• He felt that he wanted to stay and when regaining his
physical body he describes it as an excruciating
experience of embodiment during his fall back to
earth.
Reflections on 7 Minutes via Disincarnate
Intelligences
• “Did I actually DIE that
night?” I asked
anxiously. “Not exactly,”
came the answer.
“When you die
actually… you come up
into our more radiant
dimension to stay for
your allotted period on
the next stage of your
life’s journey, you
cannot go back…”
Combining the Occult with Flying Saucers
• Pelley’s occultism inspiration to
Williamson

• They commenced communicating through
automatic writing
• A homemade Ouja board
• Morris Code messages over short-wave
radio (ham)
• Direct telepathic communication with

• Communicated with through his dreams
Automatic Writing Gets a Tech Update
• “In our endeavor to establish
radio contact with the flying
saucers or other space craft, a
radioman whom we called Mr. R
was contacted by Al.”
• Williamson, George. The Saucers Speak: Calling All Occupants of
Interplanetary Craft (p. 55). Unknown. Kindle Edition.
22 August 1952
• “On the evening of 22 August 1952,
Mr. R saw what he thought was a
very small meteor display over
Winslow, Arizona. He also observed
what appeared to be a very bright
light traveling at a high altitude in
the sky above him. He turned on
his receiver to 400 kc, and many
strange signals were heard but not
identified… This strange code used
a system of dots and dashes.”
• Williamson, George. The Saucers Speak: Calling All Occupants of
Interplanetary Craft (p. 55). Unknown. Kindle Edition.
Mr. R’s Ham Radio Reception Decoded
Saucers Speak: Calling All Occupants of Interplanetary Craft (p.
56). Unknown. Kindle Edition.
Zo’s Self-Description and Life/Death Explained
• ‘“This is Zo again…. We
know what life is. There is
no death, for all life is
eternal. Peoples of Saras
are afraid of death. But it
should be a time of
rejoicing for a soul has
gone on to greater
progressions. Pray for the
salvation of Creation.
Good night, my beloved
friends.’

• Blend of Christian, theosophical,
and hermetic (esoteric) insights

evolution, and ascended master
type E.T.s

• “The UFOs are here to help awaken
us… Man has been enslaved by the
powers of darkness on this strange
little planet…”

Bailey of Winslow, Arizona, came to visit with my wife and I in Prescott… We spent the… evening together in Prescott enjoying a line supper in town and entertaining ourselves with certain games and parlour tricks. One amusing pastime known to many families as a diverting trick is automatic writing. We thought it would be fun to try it. We had heard that the idea was for one or two people to hold a pencil over a sheet of paper and then see if it would write some sort of a message. Although there are some who seriously consider the writing obtained in this manner to be genuine spirit communication, we never had such thoughts in our minds. We were just doing what many people will do in their own parlour for an evening’s entertainment. In truth, since our dinner, we had just about forgotten the elusive saucers, and now were having a good time. What we did not know was the people of other worlds were watching and waiting for a sign of receptivity on the part of their brothers on Earth, standing by and ready with their superior equipment to contact any and all who sought the answer to their presence in the skies of Earth. Little did we know what we had started with our simple little amusement. It was to change our entire life!” • Williamson, George.

  • 26. Star Guests (1950) William Dudley Pelley • 28th Oct. 1928, 9pm • Author guest of a middle-aged Manhattan editress (Mary) at her personal apartment. • We sat side by side on the divan, I upon her right, and across our two laps lay a four-foot writing board. On the board was a pad of legal-sized writing paper. The right cuff of my hostess’s housecoat was turned back so I could lightly clasp her wrist, and held in her fingers was a vertical pencil. This pencil was writing. The pencil was writing, I say, not the lady. That was the strange part.
  • 27. The Automatic Writing Message • “Memory is not Memory if we must forever make new Thought-Bodies each time we give up our material bodies. Man will someday known the truth and then he will make new bodies in the image of God. Make no mistake, we are those now in the Light and we have much to tell you. “Music of the Spheres” is no idle phrase, but the center of the mystery of this, our universe. “Where there is harmony there is life, and all discord is death. We of the more harmonious planes, which are next above the planes of earth, make this statement to yours because you are of that company whose bodies are yet of earth by whose eyes are opened to perception of the truth. “Many of us are with you, not alone at this moment but in many moments when you are unaware of our presences. We will make more power for you in all that you undertake if you will but open yourselves more completely to our touch…”
  • 28. What Moves the Pencil? • In trying to explain who was writing, the editress claimed that it was composed by Invisible Intellects. • Dudley asked if she meant spooks? • She replied, “Illiterate people might refer to them as spooks. Those of us who’ve done considerable research in such matters, have satisfied ourselves there’s such a thing as Disincarnate Intelligence…”
  • 29. William Dudley Pelley • I found ways on my own after returning to California to transcribe over ONE MILLION WORDS of information that I contend belongs to the higher octaves of life… • For upwards of twenty-two years now, I have been employing such clairaudient faculties…
  • 30. Station-Stop Planets Pelley’s Vision • “WHAT were men and women? They were cosmic bits of God, to put it in ecclesiastical terms… Had they derived biologically from the essences of this residence-planet, as the purblind scientist assumed? No, they had not, according to this New Intelligence now being revealed by personages who called themselves The Masters… Men and women, in the creative sense, seemed to have been derived from some other planet, or some other set of star worlds, from which they had voyaged celestially to arrive on earth and find habitable.”

  • 33. The Second Sequence in Eternity • In the second, he reenters the lucid dream state on purpose that same night after hearing Bill call to him to return that they weren’t done talking. • This time he reenters without falling and meets many people who are ideals that he feels that he has known intimately throughout his many incarnations. • Likewise, he attracts a living person who he knew back on our plane of existence to him which is some kind of astral zombie type of manifestation without eyes and is possessed by some kind of fiendish agency that suprises Pelley yet changes his perspective on the worldly person who goes unnamed. • Being chased by this type of eyeless zombie, he falls out of the astral back into his material self, awaking in his bedroom around 5am in the morning with Laska at the foot of his bed. • He felt that he wanted to stay and when regaining his physical body he describes it as an excruciating experience of embodiment during his fall back to earth.
  • 34. Reflections on 7 Minutes via Disincarnate Intelligences • “Did I actually DIE that night?” I asked anxiously. “Not exactly,” came the answer. “When you die actually… you come up into our more radiant dimension to stay for your allotted period on the next stage of your life’s journey, you cannot go back…”
