UFO Contactee 1 May 1985

Magazine Overview

This issue of UFO Contactee, the International Edition from GAP-JAPAN NEWSLETTER, dated May 1985, No. 1, focuses heavily on the life and claims of George Adamski, often referred to as 'the Cosmic Man'. The magazine explores his philosophy, alleged encounters with extraterrestrials, and presents various UFO sighting reports, particularly from Japan.

George Adamski: The Cosmic Man

The lead article by Hachiro Kubota introduces George Adamski, positioning him as a significant figure whose noble mind and message were ignored due to the focus on space development. The article references Adamski's symbolic act of setting dynamite at the 'tower' of bellicosity in 1952. It suggests that space probes reporting no inhabited planets might be hiding important discoveries due to fear of public panic. Books like "Moongate" by William L. Brian and Don Wilson's "Our Mysterious Spaceship Moon" are cited for revealing suppressed findings and astronaut encounters with UFOs on the Moon.

Specific incidents mentioned include the Apollo 15 transcription where crew members Scot and Irwin reported seeing "strange 'tracks' at Mt. Hadley" on the Moon, described as the "most organized structure" they had ever seen. The article notes that James Irwin later testified on Japanese television about seeing a UFO during the Apollo 15 mission, with a crucial detail reportedly untranslated.

Further evidence of unexplained phenomena is presented with the Pioneer Venus probe's detection of mysterious incandescent lights on Venus in May 1978, which Adamski described in his book "Inside The Space Ships". Despite criticism that Adamski photographed models of flying saucers, the article asserts that Adamski-type saucers have been widely witnessed and photographed globally.

Japanese UFO Sightings

The issue highlights several UFO sightings in Japan. On October 11, 1974, 16-year-old Kazuhiko Fujimatsu of Onomichi, Hiroshima-ken, photographed a giant cigar-shaped object and an Adamski-type saucer. On May 9, 1982, 17-year-old Yoriaki Tsuda of Asahikawa, Hokkaido, photographed a black flying saucer with a dome and four portholes.

A particularly detailed account is given of an incident in Takamatsu, Kagawa-ken, on September 1, 1984. Six-year-old Nao Nishimoto witnessed an orange, Adamski-type scout ship with a ring of colorful lights. The object changed shape and hovered near a kindergarten. A handsome boy with golden hair appeared at a window and smiled at Nao. The saucer was described as having a large dome, four portholes, and a small golden ball on top, with three large circular structures at the bottom.

Nao's mother, Yumiko, a supporter of George Adamski and GAP-Japan, was initially skeptical but became convinced when Nao, who had no prior knowledge of Adamski's books, described the encounter. Nao later recalled living in the United States in a previous life as a male pacifist.

Adamski's Philosophy and Scientific Support

The magazine strongly endorses George Adamski, calling him "one of the greatest men in the world" for his Cosmic Philosophy, Science of Life, and Telepathy. It claims his teachings bring people to experience cosmic feelings and that many in GAP-Japan have experienced miracles through his philosophy.

Adamski's theories are presented as aligning with ancient Oriental philosophies, explained in plain language. His book "Telepathy" is cited for the idea that reception of vibration depends on feeling, not the brain, relating it to a 'nuclear spark' or 'soul' within atoms. The article connects this to recent Japanese scientific discoveries using electron microscopes, which showed gold atoms changing configurations, supporting the idea of a spark within every nuclear.

UFOs and American Indians

Daniel Ross contributes an article discussing the history of UFO literature and alleged government cover-ups. He notes a significant increase in UFO reports in the 1950s, followed by a shift in official policy towards silence and ridicule. Ross suggests a correlation between Earth's 'frightening insanity' (weapons buildup, wars) and the appearance of extraterrestrial civilizations, implying visitors might keep their distance due to humanity's hostility.

The article "The Indians, Earth and Sky" explores the connection between American Indian nations and space people. It discusses legends and traditions that speak of 'Havmusuvs' or 'Little People' from other planets and 'Star People'. The reverence for Venus as the morning star and its association with teachers of Earth's Golden Age is highlighted. The article mentions astronaut Gordon Cooper's statements about UFOs regularly visiting Earth to alert humanity, and Maurice Chatelain's assertion that Gemini and Apollo astronauts complied with secrecy restrictions due to 'national security'.

Commentary on George Adamski

This section discusses the post-NASA employment of scientists and the defense budget, linking it to the production of deadly space weapons. It quotes George Adamski from his book "Flying Saucers Farewell" (1961), warning that prioritizing destructive purposes over space research contributes to the destruction of life. The article references James McCambell's book "UFOlogy", which is based on leaks from scientific circles, and his categorical statement about the consistency of descriptions of UFO pilots, citing Adamski's encounter as a key example.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes George Adamski's philosophy and claims, presenting him as a profound thinker and a genuine contactee. There is a strong belief in the reality of UFOs and extraterrestrial visitors, often linked to spiritual or cosmic principles. The publication also highlights alleged government secrecy and cover-ups regarding UFO information. The articles suggest that extraterrestrial beings are observing humanity and may be concerned about its destructive tendencies. The overall stance is one of advocacy for UFO research and belief in a broader cosmic reality beyond conventional scientific understanding.

Title: UFO contactee
Issue: No.1
Date: May 1985
Publisher: GAP-Japan
Country: Japan
Language: English (original content appears to be English, translated into Japanese for publication in Japan)

This issue of 'UFO contactee' magazine, published by GAP-Japan, delves into the world of UFO phenomena, focusing heavily on the philosophy and teachings of George Adamski. The magazine highlights the efforts of Hachiro Kubota, the founder of GAP-Japan, in disseminating Adamski's work and fostering a community of UFO enthusiasts.

Opposition to UFO Recognition

The issue begins with a critique of the official stance on extraterrestrial life, questioning why claims like Adamski's are dismissed if planets are indeed hostile to life. It suggests a deliberate suppression of information by powerful interests who benefit from the current global economy based on energy, nuclear weapons, and conflict. This opposition, it is argued, aims to prevent the public from recognizing UFOs as interplanetary spacecraft and to maintain control over the world economy.

GAP-Japan: A Hub for Adamski's Philosophy

The core of the magazine is dedicated to GAP-Japan, an organization established in 1956 by George Adamski, with the goal of familiarizing people with his cosmic science and philosophy. GAP-Japan was initiated in 1961 by Hachiro Kubota, who had been corresponding with Adamski since 1953 after reading his book "Flying Saucers Have Landed." Kubota, a freelance writer, moved to Tokyo in 1969 and has since led GAP-Japan on a full scale.

GAP-Japan boasts a membership of approximately one thousand individuals across the country. Its quarterly bulletin, "UFO contactee," has been published for 24 years, with 89 issues released and a circulation of 2,500 copies, 1,400 of which are sold in bookstores in major cities. The organization has 18 branches spread throughout Japan, including major cities like Osaka, Nagoya, and Sapporo.

Activities and Publications

The Tokyo headquarters of GAP-Japan hosts monthly meetings where members study Adamski's philosophy using his books such as "Science of Life" and "Telepathy," and also practice telepathy. An average of 70 students attend these sessions. Additionally, all branches conduct monthly meetings featuring tape recordings of Kubota's lectures. An annual general assembly is held in Tokyo each autumn, bringing together members from across Japan for lectures, movie screenings, and a dinner party.

The Japanese edition of George Adamski's complete works is being published by a Tokyo-based publisher. These seven books include:

• Vol.1: "Uchukara no Homonsha" (Visitors from Space), containing "Inside The Space Ships" and parts of "Flying Saucers Have Landed."
• Vol.2: "UFO Mondai no Shinso" (The Truth About UFOs), the Japanese translation of "Flying Saucers Farewell."
• Vol.3: "UFO to Adamski" (UFOs and Adamski), featuring Adamski's reports like "My Trip to Venus" and "My Trip to Saturn," along with letters to Kubota and cosmic articles.
• Vol.4: "Uchutetsugaku" (Cosmic Philosophy).
• Vol.5: "Telepathy Kaihatsuho" (Telepathy).
• Vol.6: "Seimei no Kagaku" (Science of Life).
• Vol.7: "Adamski Ronsetsushu," a collection of Adamski's articles, lectures, and reports, including interviews with Alice Wells and Alice Pomeroy.

Hachiro Kubota translated all of Adamski's complete works into Japanese.

UFO Sightings and Experiences

Members of the Japanese GAP group frequently report witnessing UFOs in Japan, often after contacting "Space People" through telepathy. Some members have even claimed to have met Space People living in Japan. The magazine mentions that every summer, an educational group tour organized by GAP-Japan visits ancient mysterious civilizations in Egypt, Mexico, and South America. During these tours, members have reported UFO sightings. A particularly striking incident occurred during a tour to Switzerland, where members witnessed a large, dazzling UFO moving slowly near Mt. Eiger while Kubota was discussing Adamski's teachings.

The upcoming issue promises articles on how to achieve miracles through the "Science of Life" and further reports on UFO sightings in Japan.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine strongly advocates for the reality of UFOs as interplanetary spacecraft and promotes the philosophical and scientific ideas of George Adamski. It presents a critical view of governmental and powerful interests that allegedly suppress information about UFOs and extraterrestrial contact. The editorial stance is one of openness to unconventional ideas, belief in telepathy, and a desire to educate the public about Adamski's teachings and reported UFO phenomena. The publication also touches upon the potential for advanced knowledge to bring about positive change, contrasting with the current global state of conflict and economic control.
