Polish immigrant George Adamski once claimed he met with a race of kin Nordic-looking Venusians who were upset by our domestic and interplanetary effects of nuclear bomb tests. They supposedly took him to the Moon and other planets. To his credit, he displayed images that he claimed were of alien spacecraft. Interestingly, none of these images hold up today as proof of alien spacecraft at all. Adamski also became an author, writing about his contact with aliens.

Of course, his books became best-sellers. He sold 200,000 copies total of three different books he wrote about his contact with the “Space Brothers” he met. His books were big in America but also in Japan. In fact, his specific descriptions of aliens and their spacecraft inspired much of Japan’s depictions of UFOs and aliens in general.
