ADAMSKI, George (1891-1965):
American OCCULTIST and promoter of PSEUDO-SCIENCE
who popularized the idea of UFO'S, or Flying Saucers, through his claim to have been
contacted by "space brothers." The author of one science fiction novel, Pioneers
in Space, he became famous through his book Flying Saucers Have Landed (1953)
which he wrote with Desmond Leslie. This book draws on THEOSOPHICAL sources and propagates
the basic ancient astronautics theory found in later writers such as Eric von Daniken and
Shirley MACLAINE. Adamski's work is important in understanding the NEW AGE MOVEMENT.
