The cover headline, "UFOs Appear Often Over Desert Center, California!", highlights the main theme, with articles by Hachiro Kubota and Junichi Kato detailing a recent trip to the area.

UFOs Appear Often Over Desert Center, California!

This lead article, co-authored by Hachiro Kubota and Junichi Kato, describes a 5-day trip undertaken by young members of GAP-Japan and Hachiro Kubota to Desert Center during the 1997 New Year's holidays. Desert Center is noted as an isolated area in Southern California, famous for George Adamski's 1952 contact with a Venusian who had disembarked from a scout ship. During their visit, the group reported seeing UFOs on multiple occasions. The article presents these experiences as their stories.

A Hunch Borne Out

Written by Hachiro Kubota, this section recounts his personal feelings and experiences during the tour. Kubota had a strong premonition that amazing things would happen. He has visited Desert Center many times since January 21, 1989, and located the exact spot of Adamski's first contact. He describes the journey from Los Angeles to Palm Springs, where they were joined by Mr. Daniel Ross. The first UFO sighting occurred the next morning over the motel in Palm Springs, described as hovering at a low altitude and photographed by tour members. Kubota interprets this as a sign of encouragement from 'space people'.

On the way to Adamski's contact spot, the group had lunch at a restaurant in Desert Center, a place familiar to Kubota for twenty years. He notes the area's deterioration but enjoyed the clear desert sunshine. He describes the Mojave Desert landscape and the comfortable winter temperature. The walk to the contact spot, measured at 600 meters, was undertaken with anticipation.

Kubota recounts finding the contact spot on January 21, 1989, with six other people, and believes he was guided by a UFO. He mentions George H. Williamson's book "Other Tongue - Other Flesh" and the plaster casts of the Venusian's footprints, which Mr. Akinori Endo of GAP-Japan has studied. Upon reaching the contact spot, the group began taking souvenir pictures. Suddenly, Kubota felt a strange sensation and saw a shining object in the western sky, which he announced to the group. The object was photographed, and the group considered it the greatest souvenir. While others explored, Kubota stayed with the belongings. He then saw a white, cigar-shaped object, but was unsure if it was extraterrestrial.

Mount Palomar Shrouded in Fog

The following day, January 2, the group visited Palomar Gardens on Mt. Palomar, where George Adamski used to live. The mountain was covered in fog, making visibility poor. They had lunch in Palomar Gardens, now officially the Oak Knoll Campground. The remains of Adamski's rock work are still present.

Another UFO Appears!

This section details another UFO sighting. The author found the contact spot on January 21, 1989, with six others, including Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Ross. He believes a UFO guided him to the spot. He references George H. Williamson's book and the footprints found there, which he states represent a propulsion principle for UFOs, studied by Akinori Endo.

When the group reached the contact spot, a UFO appeared in the western sky. The author describes a shining object, and the group began taking pictures. He notes that some members saw more UFOs later. He himself saw a white, cigar-shaped object but could not confirm its origin.

Delighted to See So Many UFOs

Written by Junichi Kato, this article describes the third tour to Desert Center conducted by Reimei-kai, highlighting its success thanks to Mr. Kubota's guidance. They frequently saw and photographed UFOs.

#### Mr. Kubota's Remarkable Prediction

Kato expresses admiration for Kubota's ability to predict UFO appearances. He details the "seminar" schedule during the tour, which included explanations of Adamski's contact, Cosmic Meditation, Q&A sessions, and discussions on Adamski's life and a famous incident involving a negative holder being thrown from a UFO. Kubota served as tour guide, sharing his extensive knowledge of California.

#### A Special Feeling Precedes Each Sighting

Kato describes a special feeling that precedes most UFO sightings. He recounts seeing a UFO on New Year's Day morning before traveling to Desert Center. The object was low-flying and photographed by Mr. Nishikawa. Kato describes the feeling as inspired and urgent, as if being watched. The UFO appeared at 8:50 AM, hovering less than 50 meters above the terrace. It initially appeared black, then reddish-black, and later changed to silver-grey. It slowly ascended and disappeared into the clouds, making no sound and remaining visible for nearly ten minutes. American lodgers dismissed it as a balloon, but Kato believed it was a UFO.

Kato felt a strong need to improve his abilities to discern true cosmic phenomena. He later discussed a sighting with Mr. Okada, who had seen a similar silver, saucer-shaped object through binoculars. Mr. Nishikawa's photograph of the object appeared black, despite the UFO shining.

#### It's Important to Trust Your Feelings

Kubota arrived at the terrace after the first UFO had disappeared. He advised the group to proceed with the visit to Desert Center despite cloudy weather, predicting beautiful conditions, which proved true. Kato notes Kubota's leadership as a secret to maintaining GAP-Japan for 36 years.

Upon arriving at Desert Center, the tour members were not overly animated, but watched quietly as Kubota photographed the site. The group then walked into the desert.

#### UFOs Again!

Kubota led the group to Adamski's contact spot and the landing site of the flying saucer. His lectures were described as confident and dignified. Cosmic Meditation was practiced at the contact spot. Many saw UFOs individually or in small groups, but one seen by all in the western sky just before leaving was the most impressive.

#### A UFO Sees Us Off

Kubota's final lecture was on a "saddle" spot where a saucer had hovered. As the group was leaving at 4:23 PM, Kato, Mr. Obara, and Ms. Aida looked back. Kato expressed gratitude to the space people and bowed. They then saw a white saucer-shaped object, which they believed was a special treat. Mr. Mishima photographed it, and Mr. Tsuda and Ms. Shiro also saw it.

Space People Help All of Us Equally

This section summarizes an answer given by Mr. Kubota during a Q&A session in Palm Springs. He stated that space people help everyone equally, regardless of belief, because they see all humans as children of the Creator. Their help is directed towards improving humanity and Earth as a whole, not individuals. Kato felt this answered his question about what the UFOs and space people wanted to convey.

Questions & Answers by George Adamski

This section presents a Q&A originally published by George Adamski in 1957.

• Q82. Propulsion of Space Ships: Adamski states he cannot provide more technical details than already published. He explains that ship power is drawn from space, converting Nature's elements into energy, similar to lightning. He attributes the hesitancy to share this knowledge to humanity's hostility and the potential for misuse.
• 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 scientific cooperation.
• Q84. Nikola Tesla a Venusian?: Adamski states Tesla was born on Earth but may have had memories of past electrical science experiences or tapped into Cosmic Knowledge telepathically.
• Q85. Ashtar: Adamski expresses skepticism about 'Ashtar' communications, stating they do not align with his understanding of space people and lack corroboration. He believes 'Ashtar' messages contain bits of truth but can cause confusion.
• Q86. Deros and Teros: Adamski emphatically denies the existence of races living within Earth, attributing such concepts to egotistical imagination and mental instability.
• Q87. Etherians vs. Flesh and Blood: Adamski asserts that space travelers are flesh and blood, not etherians who materialize and dematerialize.
• Q88. Authors of Real Experiences: Adamski declines to name specific authors, stating that many writers believe their experiences are genuine, but advises readers to discern truth by checking if claims align with Nature's laws and avoid those promoting division, judgment, or prophecies.
• Q89. Deception by Space People: Adamski refutes claims that space people deliberately lie to test humans, citing a conversation with Orthon who stated that claimants were confused and unable to receive true messages. Adamski likens such deception to a person deliberately pushing someone down a hill to test them.

UFOs AND THE COMPLETE EVIDENCE FROM THE SPACE

This section advertises a book by Daniel Ross titled "The Truth About Venus, Mars, and the Moon." It claims NASA has discovered secret facts about these bodies and that the book reveals the truth behind NASA's space development. The book can be obtained from Daniel Ross in Concord, California.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, particularly in the Desert Center area, and the experiences of contactees like George Adamski. The editorial stance, as conveyed through the articles and the Q&A section, emphasizes a belief in benevolent extraterrestrial visitors who wish to help humanity advance. There is a strong focus on the importance of intuition, cosmic consciousness, and discerning truth from deception. The magazine promotes GAP-Japan's activities and encourages readers to become interested in these matters. The articles advocate for a compassionate and unified approach to understanding the universe and humanity's place within it.

Title: UFO contactee
Issue: No. 12
Date: April 1997
Publisher: GAP-Japan
Country: Japan
Language: English

This issue of the international edition of "UFO contactee" magazine, published annually by GAP-Japan, delves into the world of UFOs and cosmic philosophy, with a strong emphasis on the legacy of George Adamski and the ongoing work of GAP-Japan.

GAP-Japan: An Organization Dedicated to UFO Research

The magazine introduces GAP-Japan, an organization that grew out of the "Get-Acquainted Program" (GAP) originally established by George Adamski, a prominent American contactee of the 1950s. GAP-Japan was founded in 1961 by Hachiro Kubota, who had corresponded with Adamski since 1954 and was deeply influenced by his teachings on UFOs and cosmic philosophy. Adamski's extensive letters to Kubota are compiled in "The Complete Works of George Adamski-Vol.5," and Kubota has overseen the translation of the full 10-volume set into Japanese, with an eleventh volume on Adamski's lectures planned.

GAP-Japan boasts a substantial membership of 1700 individuals across 17 branches throughout Japan. The organization holds monthly seminars at its Tokyo headquarters and branches, focusing on Adamski's "Cosmic Philosophy." The magazine itself is a key publication, with a quarterly Japanese edition and this annual English version.

Hachiro Kubota, the representative of GAP-Japan, has authored numerous books on UFOs and mysterious phenomena worldwide, linking them to UFOs. His research extends to ancient sites like Mayan ruins in Mexico, religious phenomena in Lourdes (France) and Fatima (Portugal), and ruins in Israel, all explored through his personal research.

Members of GAP-Japan, including Kubota, have undertaken several trips to Desert Center, California, the site where Adamski claimed to have met a Venusian on November 20, 1952. During a visit on January 27, 1992, by Kubota and Daniel Ross with other members, they reported witnessing a giant mothership appear and hover overhead for several minutes. Kubota later received information from a "cosmic source" identifying the mothership as being from Venus.

GAP-Japan convenes a General Assembly each autumn in Tokyo, bringing together members from across the country for lectures and social gatherings to foster friendships.

Hachiro Kubota's Vision for the Future

Hachiro Kubota expresses strong conviction in George Adamski's claims, stating that there are twelve planets in our solar system, each inhabited by advanced civilizations. He posits that UFOs are sophisticated spacecraft from these planets, engaged in research and offering assistance to Earth. Kubota predicts that humanity will recognize these facts by the year 2020, asserting that this is not fantasy but the reality of our solar system.

The issue includes a photograph of Hachiro Kubota lecturing on Adamski, UFOs, and cosmic philosophy at Tokyo University of Art and Design, where he teaches twice a year.

Notable Sightings and Photographic Evidence

The magazine features two significant photographic accounts of UFOs:

1. George Adamski's 'Venusian Flying Saucer': A telephoto picture taken by George Adamski on Mt. Palomar, California, on December 13, 1952, at 9:10 a.m. The image, taken as the saucer was rising, shows its underside arrangement.
2. Kazuhiko Fujimatasu's Mothership and Saucer: On October 11, 1974, at 6:25 a.m., a 16-year-old high school student named Kazuhiko Fujimatasu in Onomichi, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, photographed a large mothership flying over his house. Subsequently, a smaller flying saucer was seen flying in the opposite direction. The magazine notes the striking similarity between this photographed saucer and the one Adamski photographed.

Publication Details

This international edition is published once a year by GAP-Japan. The editor and publisher is Hachiro Kubota. The publication details include the address in Edogawa-ku, Tokyo, Japan, and pricing for single issues and postage, both domestic and international airmail.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, the concept of extraterrestrial contactees, and the exploration of cosmic philosophy. The editorial stance, as articulated by Hachiro Kubota, is one of firm belief in the reality of extraterrestrial civilizations and their advanced spacecraft, advocating for an open mind and the acceptance of these phenomena as part of our solar system's reality.
