About this deal

At a press conference in March 1965, he predicted that a large fleet of flying saucers would soon descend on Washington, D.C. Unfortunately, Adamski wouldn’t be there to greet them—had they actually arrived. He died that April at age 74. Others, like J. Allen Hynek, took a somewhat dimmer view, accusing Adamski and others like him, of discrediting the entire field of UFO research. This photo was taken by a retired RAF serviceman while on holiday in Sri Lanka in 2004. He said he thought it was an atomic bomb going off.

There are two reasons for this change – popular culture and technology. In 1977 the opening scene of Star Wars featured a triangular spacecraft. At the same time, the newspapers were full of stories about the new US bomber planes, which were also triangular. Preposterous as his stories seemed, Adamski became an international celebrity and lectured widely. Queen Juliana of the Netherlands raised a public stir after inviting him to her palace in 1959 to discuss extraterrestrial doings. Adamski supposedly claimed a secret 1963 meeting with the pope, as well. This is a typical example of what’s in these files. It’s not a huge cover-up. It's people seeing things that are unexplained, which are then filed away and forgotten.

Fourteen experts of the J. Arthur Rank film distribution company (UK) “concluded that the object photographed was either real, or a full scale model”.

Ultimately, UFOs are something that people project onto their perception of the world. In 1957, the psychologist Carl Jung was asked for his views on UFOs. He said, ‘There is an overwhelming amount of material pointing to their legendary or mythological aspect. As a matter of fact the psychological aspect is so impressive, that one almost must regret that the UFOs seem to be real after all.’ He seems to have had little formal education, though the press would later refer to him as “Professor Adamski”—a habit he appears to have encouraged. In the 1955 book, Adamski claimed that his new friends took him aboard one of their scout ships, flew him to an immense mother ship hovering over the earth, gave him a ride around the moon and treated him to a colorful travelogue about life on Venus. Since then, winter and summer, day and night, through heat and cold, wind, rains and fog, I have spent every moment possible outdoors, watching the skies,” he wrote.J. Peverell Marley, who had served with the Enemy Interceptor Command in World War II and later became a celebrated cameraman who worked with director Cecil B. DeMille, stated that “Adamski’s pictures, if faked, were the cleverest he had ever seen”. He pointed out that “the shadows on the saucers, and also on the ground, corresponded to such a remarkable degree that they could not be faked, and that to fake such pictures would require costly equipment which Adamski, obviousy, does not possess and which, even then, could not assure such a result.” ( Source: Meeting of Air Force Reserve Officers on flying saucer activity, 1 June 1953. Note: According to James Moseley, when asked Mr Marley later denied making this statement, although such denials are not at all uncommon in a field so ridden with controversy as Ufology.) In a letter to Ronald Caswell Mr Sherwood later wrote: “When Mr Adamski came to Rochester in March, 1965, I took him to Eastman Kodak Co. and introduced him to scientists and photographic specialists in the optical laboratory. (…) They accepted his films as genuine. A typical comment was: ‘We wouldn’t begin to know how to fake such a film if we wanted to…’.” While often ignored by his critics, Adamski’s other works show that his teaching and philosophy were not only consistent throughout his life, but also far ahead of their time, as they are now finding confirmation in the latest insights from systems science.
