Desert Encounter With Orthon
- George Adamski described a 20 November 1952 desert meeting where a giant cigar-shaped mothership and a small scout craft appeared and he walked toward a man who signaled him.
- Witnesses included Al Bailey, Dr. George H. Williamson, Alice Wells, and Lucy McInnes who watched from nearby while Adamski photographed the scout ship and met Orthon.
Space Brothers Warned About Nuclear Radiation
- Orthon communicated telepathically and by gesture that he came from Venus and was concerned about Earth's radioactive explosions.
- Adamski reports Venusians believe in God and worry nuclear tests could contaminate space, a recurring theme among contactees.
Footprints Casts And Returned Photo Plate
- After the encounter Orthon left three deep, distinct footprints with puzzled symbols, which Adamski's party cast and photographed for study.
- Orthon later returned Adamski's photographic plate by dropping the holder from a scout craft on December 13, 1952.





In 1952, a self-taught philosopher near Palomar Mountain walked into the California desert and claimed to meet a being from Venus. Jimmy Akin and Dom Bettinelli investigate the remarkable story of George Adamski, the first UFO contactee.
