UFO contactee

Magazine Overview

This issue of "UFO contactee," the International Edition of the GAP-Japan Newsletter, dated April 1997 (No. 12), focuses on UFO sightings and experiences, particularly those related to Desert Center, California, and the legacy of George Adamski. The magazine features articles by Hachiro Kubota and Junichi Kato, detailing a 1997 New Year's trip to Desert Center where multiple UFOs were observed.

UFOs Appear Often Over Desert Center, California!

This lead article, co-authored by Hachiro Kubota and Junichi Kato, recounts a 5-day trip to Desert Center, California, during the 1997 New Year's holidays. Desert Center is highlighted as the site of George Adamski's 1952 contact with a Venusian. The GAP-Japan group, including members of the study group Reimei-kai, experienced several UFO sightings during their visit. The article presents these sightings as their personal stories.

A Hunch Borne Out by Hachiro Kubota

Hachiro Kubota describes his strong feeling that amazing things would happen during the trip to Desert Center, a place he has visited many times since 1989, including the exact spot of Adamski's first contact. The group traveled from Los Angeles to Palm Springs, where they were joined by Daniel Ross. The first UFO sighting occurred the next morning over the motel in Palm Springs, photographed by Mr. Nishikawa. Kubota notes the encouraging nature of this sighting. The group then visited the original contact spot in Desert Center, a barren, hard-surfaced desert area. Kubota recounts finding the exact spot in 1989, believing he was guided by a UFO. He mentions George H. Williamson's book "Other Tongue - Other Flesh" and the plaster casts of Venusian footprints, which Akinori Endo of GAP-Japan has studied. At the contact spot, the group witnessed another UFO, which they photographed, calling it the "greatest souvenir." Kubota also saw a white, cigar-shaped object later that day.

Mount Palomar Shrouded in Fog

The following day, the group visited Palomar Gardens, where George Adamski used to live. The area was covered in fog, and visibility was poor. They had lunch in Palomar Gardens, now known as Oak Knoll Campground. The remains of Adamski's rock work are still present.

Delighted to See So Many UFOs by Junichi Kato

Junichi Kato describes the third tour to Desert Center conducted by Reimei-kai as a success, with frequent UFO sightings and successful photography and videotaping. He praises Hachiro Kubota's predictive abilities and leadership. A "seminar" schedule included explanations of Adamski's contact, Cosmic Meditation, and Q&A sessions. Kato recounts his own sighting of a UFO on New Year's Day morning near Palm Springs, which he felt was a special sign. He describes the object as initially black, then changing to silver-grey, hovering at a low altitude (less than 50 meters) and making no sound. He notes that some Americans dismissed it as a balloon.

Kato also describes a UFO sighting near the contact spot in Desert Center, which he felt was a special treat from the space people before their departure. He emphasizes the importance of developing abilities to discern true cosmic phenomena.

UFOs Again!

This section details further UFO sightings. Hachiro Kubota photographed a flying saucer near the contact spot, which appeared silver and shining in binoculars but showed up as a black object in his developed picture. Mr. Okada also saw a silver, saucer-shaped object. Kubota's leadership and decisiveness are credited with maintaining GAP-Japan for 36 years. The group visited the exact spot of Adamski's first contact and the landing site of the flying saucer, engaging in Cosmic Meditation. Kubota found another impressive UFO in the western sky.

A UFO Sees Us Off

As the tour group was leaving Desert Center, a white saucer-shaped object appeared, as if waiting for them. Kubota led the group to the "saddle" spot, where a saucer had hovered before Adamski's historic contact. Kato describes bowing to the contact spot and then seeing the object, which appeared milk-white and smooth. Mr. Mishima photographed it. Kato believes this was a special farewell gift from the space people.

Space People Help All of Us Equally

This section summarizes Hachiro Kubota's answer to a question about space people's help. He stated that they help everyone equally, regardless of belief, because they see all humans as children of the Creator. Their aim is to help Earthlings improve as a society, not just individuals. Kato reflects on this, feeling it answers his question about what the UFOs and space people wanted to convey. He hopes the articles and pictures will encourage more people to join GAP.

Questions & Answers by George Adamski

This section presents a Q&A originally published by George Adamski in 1957, offering insights into UFO issues.

• Q82. Propulsion of Space Ships: Adamski states he cannot give detailed technical information beyond what he has published. He explains that power is drawn from space, converting Nature's elements. He notes that due to human hostility, this knowledge is withheld, but scientists are working towards harnessing this power, with the responsibility for its use falling on humanity.
• Q83. Scientists Alerting Us to Changes: Adamski believes scientists will alert humanity through radio, press, and publications, citing the International Geophysical Year research as an example of global cooperation in studying Earth.
• Q84. Nikola Tesla and Venusians: Adamski states that Nikola Tesla was not a Venusian but may have had memories of past electrical science experiences or tapped into Cosmic Knowledge telepathically.
• Q85. Ashtar: Adamski expresses skepticism about "Ashtar" communication, noting that it claims to be a commander of millions of space men and makes divisive prophecies, unlike the harmonious messages he receives from space people. He has not found corroboration for Ashtar's existence.
• Q86. Deros and Teros: Adamski emphatically denies the existence of races living within Earth, attributing such beliefs to egotistical imagination and mental instability, comparing it to delirium tremens.
• Q87. Etherians vs. Flesh and Blood: Adamski maintains that space travelers are flesh and blood, not etherians who materialize and dematerialize, based on his own experiences.
• Q88. Identifying Authors of Real Experiences: Adamski declines to name specific authors, stating that many believe their experiences are real, but that true experiences align with Nature's laws and evoke harmony, unlike those involving division, judgment, or prophecies.
• Q89. Deception by Space People: Adamski refutes claims that space people deliberately lie to test humans, citing Orthon's denial of meeting a claimant who alleged such deception. Adamski believes such claims stem from confused minds and wishful thinking.

Content Highlights

Adamski's Venusian Flying Saucer

The issue includes a telephoto picture taken by George Adamski on Mt. Palomar, California, on December 13, 1952. This photograph, taken at 9:10 a.m. as the saucer was rising, shows the underside arrangement of what Adamski identified as a 'Venusian Flying Saucer'.

Japanese UFO Sighting

Another account details a sighting on October 11, 1974, at 6:25 a.m., by Kazuhiko Fujimatasu, a 16-year-old high school student from Onomichi, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. He reported seeing a large mothership fly over his house and subsequently snapped a photograph of a smaller flying saucer that flew in the opposite direction. The saucer in this photograph is noted to be very similar to the one Adamski photographed.

GAP-Japan: Organization and Philosophy

The magazine provides an overview of GAP-Japan, an organization founded by Hachiro Kubota in 1961 at the request of George Adamski. GAP-Japan, which stands for 'Get-Acquainted Program,' has 1700 members and 17 branches throughout Japan. Members study Adamski's 'Cosmic Philosophy,' which is presented as Volume 7 of 'The Complete Works of George Adamski.' Hachiro Kubota, now 72, was a correspondent of Adamski's since 1954 and learned extensively about UFOs and cosmic philosophy under his guidance. Adamski's letters to Kubota are compiled in 'The Complete Works of George Adamski-Vol.5,' and the full 10-volume set has been translated into Japanese by Kubota. An eleventh volume, containing Adamski's lectures, is planned.

GAP-Japan publishes a quarterly magazine in Japanese called 'UFO contactee' and an annual English edition. Hachiro Kubota has authored numerous books on UFOs and mysterious phenomena worldwide, linking them to UFOs, such as Mayan ruins, the miracle of Lourdes, Fatima, and the ruins of Jesus.

Desert Center Encounter

Members of GAP-Japan, including Kubota and Daniel Ross, have made trips to Desert Center, California, to visit the site where Adamski claimed to have met a man from Venus on November 20, 1952. During a visit on January 27, 1992, a group witnessed a giant mothership appear and hover over them for several minutes. Kubota later received information from a 'cosmic source' identifying the mothership as being from Venus.

General Assembly and Future Predictions

GAP-Japan holds a General Assembly each autumn in Tokyo, where members attend lectures and socialize. Hachiro Kubota expresses strong conviction in George Adamski's claims, stating that there are twelve planets in our solar system with advanced civilizations. He believes UFOs are sophisticated spaceships from these planets, engaged in research and offering help to Earth. Kubota predicts that the people of Earth will become aware of these facts by the year 2020 at the latest.
