UFO Contactee 11 March 1996

Magazine Overview

This issue of "UFO contactee," the GAP-Japan Newsletter International Edition, dated March 1996, features a cover story titled "My Mother's Wonderful UFO Sighting" by Michel Zirger. The magazine focuses on UFO phenomena, cosmic philosophy, and personal accounts of encounters.

My Mother's Wonderful UFO Sighting by Michel Zirger

Michel Zirger, a French UFO researcher and admirer of George Adamski's work, recounts his journey to Japan in 1994 to assist Hachiro Kubota's Get-Acquainted Program. His speech at the 1994 GAP-Japan General Assembly in Tokyo, alongside Daniel Ross, was well-received.

Zirger explains his interest in UFOs stems from his mother's sighting in mid-July 1964. He describes how his mother, while looking out her 5th-floor apartment window in Le Pecq, France, at about 10 PM, witnessed a glowing object approaching at terrific speed. The object stopped about 50 meters away, hovering noiselessly. His mother described it as being "as high as two houses floating in the sky" and noted it seemed to be on an "air cushion." The most striking feature was about ten tubes of strange, solid-looking light emanating from the object's understructure, moving slowly up and down. These beams were orange with tones of red and yellow and did not touch the ground. The craft itself was dark metallic with a large dome on top and was surrounded by a surreal, whitish halo. The craft had square windows lit from the inside by a bright yellow light. The object hovered for about a minute before moving slowly to the left and then shooting into space with great speed, vanishing instantly.

Zirger notes that his mother initially thought she was dreaming but soon realized it was a genuine "Flying Saucer." He mentions that a painting depicting the UFO was made by Satsuka-san based on his mother's descriptions and his drawings. He also points out similarities between this craft and one depicted on the cover of a French UFO magazine from September 1971, which was an artistic interpretation of a UFO seen in Spain near Lake Gabriel y Galan in 1971, noting shared characteristics like square windows and beams of light.

Zirger's mother was frightened and tried to forget the experience, but it profoundly impacted him. She had never been interested in UFOs or read related literature, making her detailed description of the craft, especially the "tubes of solid light," seem genuine to Zirger. Her father witnessed the craft's departure. Zirger's own involvement in the UFO field began after this experience. He read George Adamski's book "Flying Saucers Have Landed" in 1972 and has since studied UFO literature extensively. He believes Adamski physically met extraterrestrials and that his famous photos are genuine.

Zirger also shares his own UFO experiences, including a sighting in 1973 (for which he provides a drawing) and another with four witnesses just before coming to Japan. He also recounts a recent experience in Tokyo where he and two friends met a woman from another planet in a restaurant, receiving a telepathic message offering advice on an important life decision. He believes space people, as suggested by Mr. Kubota, are helping humanity and that his mother's sighting may have been part of a larger plan, leading him to meet his wife.

The Amazing Dream by Fusako Kubota

Fusako Kubota shares an account of her ninth-grade daughter, Akiko's, vivid dream from November 7, 1993. In the dream, Akiko was on a spaceship flying through the galaxy, dodging meteorites, and wearing a silver spacesuit. She was with two men and one woman, who were foreigners. They experienced a ride on a moving sidewalk to a hotel where she took a bath. Upon waking, she exclaimed, "How wonderful!" When asked if the spaceship resembled a UFO, she said it wasn't round. Upon seeing pictures of mother ships and George Adamski's book, she pointed to a mother ship and exclaimed, "This is it! I operated this from up front!" She also identified George Adamski from a photo as the man who was in the spaceship and commanded it. Fusako Kubota was amazed, as she had never discussed UFOs or shown her daughter pictures of Adamski. She believes her daughter may have had a genuine cosmic experience, possibly facilitated by Adamski.

Kubota reflects on her daughter's past comments about seeing golden auras and having déjà vu experiences, suggesting a deeper awareness. She mentions that George Adamski's books inspired her to join GAP-Japan. She also shares a personal UFO experience from her 9th-grade year. She emphasizes the reality of her daughter's experience, despite it possibly being a dream, due to her lack of prior knowledge about UFOs or Adamski.

Questions & Answers by George Adamski

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

• Q71. Do people of other worlds pray? Adamski states that beings with an understanding of their relationship to the Cosmos do not pray in the personal supplication sense. Instead, they strive to have their personalities obey the "real of themselves - the Christ within," living in compassionate humility. He contrasts this with human prayer, questioning how many truly understand it.
• Q72. Where can I start to improve my way of living? Adamski advises starting with one's own thoughts and daily actions, emphasizing that each individual is a radiating center of influence. He urges readers to watch and change their thoughts to conform with better aspirations and to be compassionate and kind to everyone.
• Q73. Mystery Death Rays in Space? Adamski explains that "Mystery Death Rays" refer to abnormal atmospheric conditions caused by nuclear bomb explosions. These explosions created an artificial barrier that interferes with natural cosmic rays, leading to sporadic, dangerous breakthroughs that the atmosphere cannot fully filter.
• Q74. Can we avert disastrous twisters? Adamski states that these are natural conditions and man should not interfere, as attempts to do so might be more disastrous. He explains that tornados are caused by fluctuations in the Polar Jet stream interacting with moist tropical air. He notes that such disturbances occur on all planets, but Earth's inhabitants are just beginning to understand these phenomena, unlike neighboring planets' inhabitants who heed nature's signals.
• Q75. Do people on Jupiter and Saturn live underground? Adamski asserts that people on all planets live on the surface. He doubts underground living and emphasizes the sun's life-giving powers. He suggests that current instruments are inadequate for detecting conditions beyond a planet's atmosphere and that advanced instruments are needed for accurate readings, similar to what space people use.
• Q76. What makes the rings around Saturn? Adamski explains that Saturn's rings are not solid but an electro-magnetic field encompassing the planet, containing moisture and particles that reflect sunlight, creating an illusion similar to a rainbow. He notes Saturn's historical depiction as the "Tribunal planet" due to its position as the sixth orbit from the sun.
• Q77. Do people live on the moons of Jupiter and Saturn? Adamski states that people he has met live on the home bodies (planets) and have not mentioned moon inhabitants. He surmises that any moon dwellers might be caretakers for space craft bases. He dismisses numerous mediumistic "messages" from moon inhabitants as unverified and containing personalities and false prophecies.
• Q78. Has the symbol message in "FLYING SAUCERS HAVE LANDED" been translated? Adamski confirms a complete, scientific translation has been approved by the Brothers. The translator decoded symbols to construct a diagram of a scout ship and its propulsion system. He cautions that many other interpretations are inaccurate.
• Q79. Can you explain being saved? Adamski recounts an experience with a minister who claimed he was not saved because he didn't attend his church. Adamski questioned how one could save something that was never lost, implying that salvation is about realizing one's inherent completeness.
• Q80. If our ancestors were discards, what hope is there for us? Adamski states there is "Every hope in the Universe." He believes each individual creates their own destiny and that no one is left stranded. He emphasizes that ancestry has no bearing on present lives unless one chooses to dwell on the past. He quotes Jesus: "Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead."
• Q81. How do satellite findings compare with 'the Brothers' information? Adamski confirms that data released from satellites is confirming information published in his earlier works, such as findings on atmospheric densities and the energetic nature of space, including electrified plasma and magnetic fields.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes the idea of extraterrestrial contact and the existence of advanced civilizations beyond Earth. It emphasizes the importance of George Adamski's work and teachings, presenting him as a credible source of information about space people and their activities. The editorial stance appears to be one of belief in UFOs, contactees, and a broader "Cosmic Program" involving humanity and extraterrestrial beings. There is a strong focus on personal experiences and testimonies, suggesting that direct encounters and intuitive understanding are valued alongside scientific data. The magazine also touches upon spiritual and philosophical aspects, linking UFO phenomena to concepts like cosmic consciousness and the "Brotherhood of Man."

This issue of "UFO contactee," identified as No. 11 and published in March 1996 by GAP-Japan, focuses on "The Conference of Friends of Adamski." The magazine is published once a year and is edited and published by Hachiro Kubota.

The Conference of Friends of Adamski

An international conference dedicated to George Adamski, a renowned contactee, was held in Washington D.C. from September 8th to 10th, 1995. Organized by Mr. Bill Sherwood, a friend of Adamski's, the event aimed to celebrate Adamski's memory and his cosmic philosophy. The conference took place at the Holiday Inn Hotel and featured lectures from various researchers and associates of Adamski.

Speakers and Presentations

Key speakers included Hachiro Kubota (GAP-Japan), Hans Petersen (GAP-Europe, Denmark), Glen Steckling (George Adamski Foundation, USA), Alice Pomeroy (Adamski's student, USA), Madeline Rodfer (Adamski's friend, USA), and Joan Laurino (Researcher of Adamski's cosmic philosophy, USA).

Hachiro Kubota delivered a significant speech titled "George Adamski and GAP-Japan," lasting one and a half hours, accompanied by a 30-minute slide show on the evening of September 9th. Many members of GAP-Japan, including Michel Zirger and his wife Takako, attended to support Kubota.

UFO Sightings During the Conference

On September 10th, some Japanese members, including Hachiro Kubota, reported witnessing a giant mother ship and smaller scout ships hovering over Washington D.C. They managed to take photographs of these craft.

The following day, September 11th, the group traveled to New York City. From the observation platform of the Empire State Building, they observed several white UFOs flying over the city, and some members took photographs. That same night, some young Japanese members reported seeing a gigantic mother ship flying over New York City. This sighting was noted for its strong resemblance to the Venusian mother ship that Adamski had photographed from Mt. Palomar on May 1, 1952, using a 6-inch telescope.

Other Content

The issue also includes a brief mention of electrical currents connected to the outward flow of charged material from the sun. Additionally, it quotes from the August Newsletter of The Interplanetary Foundation in Royal Oak, Michigan, which states that Russian "Sputniks" have discovered, through spectroscopic studies, that the Earth has no oxygen in its atmosphere. The article notes the peculiarity of this statement, given the presence of oxygen supporting life on Earth, and links it to the difficulty of obtaining accurate atmospheric readings from outside a planet's ionosphere, a point previously communicated by "the Brothers."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The primary theme of this issue is the legacy of George Adamski and the ongoing interest in his work and philosophy, as evidenced by the international conference. The magazine also touches upon UFO sightings and the investigation of unexplained aerial phenomena, with specific reports from the conference attendees. The inclusion of the Sputnik observation regarding Earth's atmosphere suggests an interest in scientific anomalies and potentially controversial findings related to space and planetary science. The editorial stance appears to be one of documenting and sharing information related to UFOs, contactees, and related phenomena, with a focus on international collaboration and research.
