On April 21, 1953, George Adamski once again felt the
inner call to travel to Los Angeles. Now a seasoned contactee, he
no longer had doubts concerning what awaited him there, so he boarded the
next bus out of Mt. Palomar, checked into his customary hotel in the city,
and proceeded immediately to the restaurant to await contact. He
was soon joined by his Martian friend, Firkon.
They rode together in Firkon's automobile to a distant
desert location, where a scout ship awaited their arrival. This Saturnian
scout was much larger than the comp-arable Venusian ship from Adamski's
previous encounter. The pilot, a Space Brother named Zuhl, gave Adamski
a tour and explained the ship's operation as they rose up to meet the great
mothership where it hovered invisibly among the stars.
After docking with the Saturnian mothership, Adamski
was again led to a spacious lounge where he was introduced to a number
of Space People, including the two women pilots who made up half the mothership
piloting team. They explained to him that this gigantic spaceship
was dedicated to scientific exploration, and that, although it had been
built on Saturn, it belonged to and was maintained by people from many
worlds, all of whom shared freely in its findings.
The discussion turned again to Humanity's destructive
nature, which was described as a result of our self-ignorance, and not
of bad intention or desire for cruelty on our part. The peace and
brotherhood known by those beyond Earth does not reflect the possessiveness
or nationalism attached to such notions on Earth, but rather, embraces
universal respect, mutual confidence and unconditional acceptance and understanding.
They insisted that no one person, group or nation could be blamed for the
sad state of affairs on Earth. Respons-ibility for our level of existence
lies with each individual, who must strive to overcome his or her own personal
greed, violence and desire for power over others if we wish to survive
as a species.
THE LABORATORY
A tour of the great mothership followed this discussion,
on which Adamski was shown the ship's main scientific laboratory.
The vast room was filled with equipment and control panels. Stations
along each wall were manned by scientists who interpreted the data being
continually received.
He was shown 12 small, disc-shaped probes, called "registering
discs," and he watched as each was programmed and fired off into space.
New patterns and readouts jumped to life on the monitoring screens around
him, and Zuhl explained that the probes are used to collect all sorts of
information, from measuring atmos-pheric composition to making visual,
audio and even thought recordings of life on Earth and other worlds.
The information collected would be stored in libraries for the education
and entertainment of all.
He also explained that these small "registering discs"
glow when surrounded by atmosphere, and it is these which are mostly seen
and identified as flying saucers around the world. When the discs
occasionally malfunct-ion, they are remotely destroyed to prevent a crash
which might injure someone on the ground.
Adamski wondered whether such remote destruction technologies
might be used defensively against pursuing airplanes or other ships in
space. Zuhl responded soberly that, while the Space Brothers are
far from defenseless, their response to attack is always to flee at greater
speed than their pursuers can muster, or else to increase the vibration
level of their own ship until it passes beyond the visual spectrum of the
attacker, rendering themselves invisible. Where neither route of
escape is possible, the Space people would, without reservation, allow
them-selves to be destroyed to avoid taking the life of another living
being.
The mothership approached Earth's moon, and Adamski was
shown a small strip, invisible from Earth, in which there is atmosphere
and flourishing life. Zuhl explained the side of the moon which always
faces Earth is, indeed, a desolate desert. But the far side supports
life, and houses a large observation post and Space Brother settlement.
