SPACE BROTHERS

Dads interest in " Flying Saucers" was first publically demonstrated in the early fifties when he was featured with his associates in front of his " flying disc" demonstration, in an LA paper

...Dad founded NICAP in 1956 in Washington DC. but it was the summer of 1957 when he handed me that big stack of reports from that Washington Office. We were living in Florida at the time`and I was just 11.

I had already learned to type pretty well and I spent alot of my time helping Mother type up patent applications which Dad was drafting that summer.( Once he started dictating the text of the patent applications he never stopped talking and barely slowed up. He never made changes or corrections ( except for our typing) so I was very involved in everything then and was proud to consider myself part of his " office staff!" a staff of two! Mother and me!)

material was being sent to him from by Rose Hacket, his former secretary at NICAP. She had stayed on with NICAP after Dad left for Florida but it was obvious that she was still working for him and I always looked forward to these stacks of reports that she sent us. Always interesting reading the reports of saucer sightings around the world . And it was then that he handed me those reports and told me to concentrate on the " saucers that wobbled." "Those are ours" he said.

At that moment I didn't question what he meant by that. I know that must seem strange. But I had accompanied Dad to his lab in Washington many times during 1955 and I had learned already that if he hadn't already volunteered information that he wouldn't tell me more, it was a waste of time to ask...he never got angry if I pressed a question but he never answered either... so I had learned not to ask. . What I was to know, he would tell me... Sort of the family code <g>

You asked me what I thought at the time?....It was obvious to me that there was a team at work..I had met several men in Washington and in his lab and hey all talked about " Flying Saucers" I had even gone to a meeting at Clara Johns and listened as her " Flying Saucer Discussion Group" talked about the things. It was after that meeting that Dad decided to form NICAP and the name was created at our kitchen table.

I used to get into terrible fights with my classmates at school because they all though Flying Saucers(this is the fifties remember) were either ridiculous fantasies or were dangerous and needed to be shot full of holes ".....I just thought they were being silly to not see something that I recognized as obviously real..

. and the shape of the "saucers" which were " wobbling" were generally reported in those years as (what Dad referred to as " The Adamski Scout Ship" style)

. I had handled a lovely little prototype model in 1952 that I happened to find on Dads desk at his office in Los Angeles.I had walked into the office just ahead of my parents and I was actually playing with this beautiful shiny silver disc that was on his desk. It had portholes around the center of it and a little knob on top..I had been " flying it" ...( making it bank through the air) when Dad came quietly behind me. He took it from my hand and gently said... " Don't play with that Sweetie. Its not a toy." and then he added " Its probably the most expensive Paperweight in the world".

But as he took it from me he said..." It wouldn't go like that... it would fly more like this."... and he kept it stable and moved it in quick jerks without any banking as it was making turns..... I remember saying.... "OH". and thinking that was really different and that he had told me something that perhaps not too many others knew.

Most of the reports around the world talked about those " Adamski Style saucers" and I recognized them as being exactly the same as the little ship that I had played with years earlier"... When Dad said... "Those are ours" I just took it for granted that they were somehow connected with what he was doing... because I had already handled a small version of the same thing...The EXACT same style " ship", even down to the three balls underneath. I figured that for some reason some of them were not operating properly and by " ours" he meant that those were the ones he was focusing on at the time.

I had already figured out that there were other.... Entities... as Dad called them. I had talked to him about "them" during my childhood...... (especially after having a very strange dream in 1955....where three Adamski style ships landed nearby)

The dream made quite an impression on me. I asked him later if they would hurt us and his response was that we were probably more dangerous them than they were to us. I asked why they didn't land on the White House Lawn ( in my dream they had landed on our back field!) and his response was that they didn't need to ... that they already knew everything about us that they needed to know from a great distance. So yes... I figured that there was a " THEM" but I was not worried about them. If Dad wasn't, why should I?

We spoke alot about this all through my childhood and into my adult years. Maybe it made it difficult for me because I just already BELIEVED that such a thing as OTHERS were possible because they flew the craft people called " Flying Saucers" at the time and I had already seen those in my Dads lab.... so it was no stretch for me to take his word that there were other Entities. He was always careful about calling them that and I don't think that we ever got into a discussion about what they looked like.

I will say though that I had one " experience" in 1955. For years I called it a dream but during the last couple of years I have come to understand that it was no dream at all. It was an experience.

I wrote about it in my memoir and before that Paul included my experience in his book....

going quickly through it. I was just nine, playing outside... three ships land in a field next to me... I run screaming for Dad who walks out to meet three individuals ( one from each ship) I wouldn't let go of my Dads hand so I was right there with him. He stopped to calm me down saying " Sweetie... everything will be alright. I was a frightened little girl but the "entity " that Dad spoke to looked entirely human. He was a man about my Dads height.... with red hair and a beard... I thought that he looked like Jesus.

They were looking at something on the ground... a box... I overhead the Captain ( thats what I chose to call him later) tell dad... and it can send messages a million miles, instantly..... then all of the sudden we were in the house and I disctinctly remember watching his two companions walk into the kitchen and just stand as the Captain went into the living room.

I looked at his companions and was puzzled because I couldn't see their faces and other than the fact that they were very pale they looked entirely human. I was upset because none of them were wearing helmets... I thought all space men should have helmets....( it was the fifties remember!) I finally worked up enough courage to ask the captain about the two just standing there... why they were so pale....

He explained that they had a sort of artificial blood in their system but when they got "home" that blood would be taken out and their own blood returned. I can remember distinctly just saying ..... Oh"!

Now we happened to have guests visiting when I had this dream and I told my childhood friend Chip about the dream... we laughed about it until Dad at the dinner table mentioned the dream that he had had night... and it was identical to mine.

One of my associates, a Dr. at Los Alamos even called Chip to verify that story and though I havent seen him for forty some years he remembered that vividly. Dr. K has helped me work through the idea that this indeed was an Experience and not a simple dream... its just easier to call it that. Thats about all I know about " the others!" <g>

The four Arizonans are “George Williamson, 25, Prescott, an employee of the supply division procurement section at the United States Veterans Administration Hospital at Fort Whipple; Mrs. Williamson, a medical technician employed in the laboratory at the hospital; Alfred C. Bailey, 38, of Winslow, for 12 years an employee of the Santa Fe Railway, and Mrs. Bailey.”

George Hunt Williamson’s interest was prompted by stories of “saucers” which he collected while doing research among the Chippewa Indian Tribe.

Subsequently he corresponded with “Prof. George Adamski, formerly of Palomar Observatory near San Diego,” for he had learned that Prof. Adamski had taken pictures of flying saucers. Finally, Williamson, his wife, and the Baileys decided to go out to the desert with Professor Adamski “in the hope that they would see one of those flying saucers.”

… the group drove to a spot on the Desert Center-Parker Highway “about 10 miles east of Desert Center” and stopped for a picnic lunch.

“It was Thursday, Nov. 20, about 1:30 p.m.” Suddenly one of the group spotted “what at first appeared to be an airplane.” They realized quickly that it could not be an airplane because of its shape. “[It] was shaped like a cigar — fat in the center and tapering at both ends — and was moving in an easterly direction. At times it appeared to be standing still and then it would spurt forward at tremendous speed. It moved without sound. The object was orange or reddish on top and silver on the bottom. There was a black oval-like marking on the side of the ship.”

These details were determined by the use of a pair of binoculars while the object seemed to be maneuvering at an altitude evolving between 7,000 feet and 2 miles.

The object finally went away and reappeared 5 or 6 minutes later in the opposite direction.

Professor Adamski decided “to go about 1½ miles up the road” to set up his portable telescope. He promised to wave his hat at the group if anything out of the ordinary occurred.

After “one hour and 45 minutes,” the group, which had been staying in the vicinity of their two cars, were suddenly attracted by a flash of light coming from the area where the professor had set up his telescope. The six witnesses started to walk in the direction of the spot. Soon afterwards, Adamski appeared waving his hat wildly. When they arrived, the professor told them this story.

He had seen a “saucer” and after taking several pictures of it from about one-fourth of a mile away, it had moved into a large horseshoe-shaped cove, a “wash” actually, and disappeared behind a hill. A few minutes later he saw a man waving to him from the point of that same hill. He walked up to him and a conversation took place. Adamski soon realized that this man was a space man.

During the conversation Adamski saw the “saucer” hovering motionless in the cove. He asked him “Is that your ship?” and the man nodded it was. The craft was described as typically saucer-like but with a dome on top. Its diameter was at the time estimated to be “about 20 feet” [but it was actually in the order of 35 feet.— Author]. It was “translucent but not transparent, with a shining silver finish on the exterior, portholes on the side, and three ball bearing devices underneath.”

The extraterrestrial then pointed out to Adamski several times the footprints he had left in the sand of the wash, indicating that they were of importance.

Through gestures, the extraterrestrial made him understand that radiation from nuclear tests was “causing his people some concern and fear” of a cataclysm on Earth. The conversation conveyed to Adamski the feeling that “the intentions of the visitors [were] peaceful.”

The conversation continued, Adamski enquiring now about the cigar-shaped ship they had seen in the sky a while ago. The “visitor” signified that it was a mother ship. Then Adamski asked the $64,000 question: “Are you from another planet?” which was answered in the affirmative, but that the exact origin couldn’t be told.

According to the Gazette, the man did not allow Adamski to take his picture [at least in close-up as we shall see further.— Author]. As a last request, the professor indicated he would like to have a look inside the ship but the extraterrestrial shook his head, indicating also that it was not possible.

Finally, after a handshake, the visitor got aboard the craft which took off silently and had soon disappeared into the sky.

The extraterrestrial “was described as [looking] about 23-years-old, round face, tan and ruddy complexion, grayish green eyes, long sandy hair that reached down his back and was blown about by the breezes. He was dressed in reddish brown slipper-like shoes, pants with cuffs that were tied around the ankles like ski pants and ballooned out at the knees. He wore a milk chocolate brown Eisenhower jacket. He had no ornaments or anything resembling weapons.”

He was friendly the whole time of the conversation and seemed to know some words of English, but also spoke his own language — a gibberish that sounded very oriental according to Adamski.

The Williamsons and Baileys also reported to Len Welch that Adamski had noticed a “young boy” or a “very beautiful woman with shoulder-length hair peering out of the portholes.”

When Williamson arrived on the scene, he took plaster casts of the shoe imprints. Williamson was an amateur anthropologist, and always carried with him plaster of Paris “to use when he finds a skull that may need a bit of filling in to make it complete.”

One of these four “Arizonans,” Mrs. Bailey, claimed that she may have seen the saucer take off, and all of them “admitted seeing flashes of light” at the level of the hills at the contact spot.

In an additional commentary Len Welch said that The Phoenix Gazette tried to call Professor Adamski but that he did not have a phone. He ended his article saying that despite the fact that “Professor Adamski … has a restaurant and curio shop where he sells pictures of flying saucers,” the Williamsons and Baileys believed the account given by Adamski to be true.

“Some will be saved by being taken off the earth by space craft …” Despite a violent quake announced to strike Northern California on that day, the Great Lakes area — and lake Michigan in particular — were not be hit by a tidal wave as prophesied as the initial phase of a greater cataclysm. The following day, Mrs. Martin and Charles Laughead started to be harassed and persecuted, becoming the laughingstock of all the state of Michigan and beyond. Dr. Laughead lost his job in the process.

In a 1979 letter addressed by Williamson to his biographer and friend John Griffin, a few lines caught my eye; I quote: “I gave you data on those now writing and predicting more ‘doomsday’ stuff, I believe we have to mention the fact I did NOT believe in it in 1954, and still don’t!! I want to go on record on that! …”

This can only be an allusion to the failed “doomsday” prophecy by Dorothy Martin which had flared up the headlines of many newspapers during several days in December 1954.

Two years later, in 1956, the activities of the group gathered around Mrs. Martin and the Laugheads before and after the unfortunate prophecy were documented in the book, When Prophecy Fails — an insipid and soporific, social and psychological study, often incorrectly called a classic.

Throughout the book, the three authors, among whom the social scientist Leon Festinger, develop a cold Marxist approach on whatever psychic or spiritual — and this begins right from chapter 1 where the Holy Apostles of the New Testament appear to be reduced to a bunch of fools manipulated, or worse manipulating the facts for their own benefit.

Not surprisingly, the authors showed themselves as duplicitous, disingenuous, and devious in their investigation method. Festinger, his co-authors, and some others had indeed infiltrated the socalled “cult.” Often almost one-third of the membership consisted of those deceitful “observers.”

More significantly, they themselves contributed to the events described thus contaminating the natural course of the events. These conditions make it difficult to determine what might have happened had the group been left on its own.

On top of that, the authors did not have the courage to use the names of any of the protagonists they had spied on; for instance, Dorothy Martin and Dr. Charles Laughead were given the fake identities of Mrs. Marian Keech and Dr. Thomas Armstrong, and the locations of events were shifted to imaginary cities in Michigan.

Were they afraid to be sued for copyright infringement due to the countless unauthorized quotations or for manipulation…

Let us note that the Williamsons had nothing to do with all of this, and therefore were not referred to in When Prophecy Fails. However, they strengthened their ties with the Laugheads — and consequently with Dorothy Martin to whom the latter had stayed loyal.

Their collaboration gained momentum as from January 1955 — i.e. immediately after the failed prophecy — which at the very least denotes that the Williamsons were not all that perturbed by the turmoil around the Laugheads.

It is also important to recall that in 1974 Dr. Laughead and his wife were quoted in the very first pages of Uri, the bestseller by Dr. Andrija Puharich on Uri Geller.

During a journey in Mexico in July 1956, the Laugheads met by chance, or synchronicity, Dr. Puharich in a hotel in Acambaro, and spoke to him of “a young man, a very fine voice channel or medium” who was in contact with extraterrestrial intelligences who communicated through him.

Having returned home in August in Whipple, Arizona, the Laugheads sent Puharich two messages received by this “young man.” Puharich was stunned by their similarity to those received by his own medium, an Indian mystic, Dr. Vinod, from a nonhuman intelligence introducing itself only as “M” — “M calling” — and belonging to a larger group of nine communicators, the “Nine”.

To the readers who would like to know more about Puharich, Doctor Vinod and the “Nine,” I strongly advise The Stargate Conspiracy by Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince.

The identity of the “young man,” who was anxious to remain anonymous, was only recently known: it was George Hunt Williamson…

This information was unknown to Picknett and Clive in the late 1990s when they set out to write their excellent book — for the simple reason that it was only revealed in 2013 in the first edition of this book.

Nonetheless, in The Stargate Conspiracy Williamson is mentioned — merely with respect to his connection with the Laugheads and Martin, but in a rather sympathetic way since he is referred to as a “seminal mystic and contactee.”

A final point also worthy to mention is that Lillian Laughead contributed to the interpretation of the “Venusian” footprints left on the soil of Desert Center. Her suggestions were included in Williamson’s Other Tongues – Other Flesh.

“George Hunt (Ric) Williamson, radio man, author and flying-saucer seer, is one of a Prescott group on its way to Peru to join an anthropological survey. The others are Mrs. Williamson and their two children [an error, they had only one child.–– Author], Dr. and Mrs. Laughead, of Whipple, and their two children, and Dorothy Martin. They left here Sunday by plane. In Lima, they will join other members of the expedition. Then, headed by a Columbia University professor, Williamson said, they will ‘search for ancient lost cities and records in the vast unexplored area east of the Andean range.’ Ric, who resigned from KYCA to make the trip, is the son of George L. Williamson, county probation and juvenile officer.”

This short article captioned “Local Group Off for Peru,” published in the local newspaper Prescott Evening Courier on Wednesday, December 5, 1956, encapsulates what was to become one of the most enigmatic episodes of George Hunt Williamson’s life, and marks the second big turning point in his life after the abrupt ending, in the middle of his doctorate of anthropology, of a promising academic and professional career.

This was a direct consequence of his experience of November 20, 1952, with Adamski.

So Williamson and his wife, as well as the Laugheads and Dorothy Martin, 56 years old at that time, sold their properties, left their employment, and went to settle down in Peru! With three or four children mind you!

The Williamsons took their little Mark and the Laugheads “their two children.” Actually, the Laugheads had three children: Charlyn, 20 years old in 1956, Charles, 19, and Marilyn, 10. So, assuming it was not a typo, the “two children” referred to in the clipping could be the two oldest.

On the other hand, an alternative source, The Vision Quest — previously quoted — speaks of “the Laughead family,” which would rather imply that they went to Peru with their three children. This minor point remains to be cleared up.

A significant reference is made in the article to his father, George Leonard Williamson, a well-respected personality in Prescott and even in all of Arizona.

The Williamson family possessed one of Prescott’s most beautiful properties, Granite Dells Lodge (the former home and studio of artist Eugene H. Bischoff), one of the landmarks of the city. The family of his wife, Betty, had a reputation and a background no less excellent.

We thus imagine the shock for these two families. The departure of George and Betty for Peru was not something easy to accept.

His real reason for going to Peru is not mentioned in this newspaper article.

In 1956, among the numerous messages that they supposedly received through channeling from various “ascended masters,” one emanating from the Lord Aramu-Muru (God Meru, a great Lemurian sage) on April 18 was to play the role of catalyst: “Those we have commissioned shall move to the south of their present position; and we have authorized that a priory of the Brotherhood of the Seven Rays be situated in a remote area of another country to the south.”

No need to be a psychic to see that this “guide” was not an adept of precision. This did not, however, discourage our apprentice initiates.

Living in Arizona at the time, the group first considered that it was a reference to Mexico because of the strange meeting of Dr. Laughead with Dr. Puharich in July in Acambaro.

But after deep meditation and practical considerations –– obtaining the resident status appearing to them lengthy if not impossible in Mexico since they no longer had any work or income –– they opted for Peru.

Eventually their choice was to receive the approval of one of the invisible masters.

Let us point out that in Secret of the Andes, the last book by Williamson (published under the pen name of Brother Philip), our “contactees” would be portrayed as being “members of the Brotherhood of the Seven Rays.”

So, the five members of this brotherhood, not counting their offspring, took off from Prescott on December 2, briefly stopping over in California before taking off again for Mexico.

There they spent one week visiting tourist landmarks (the Pyramid of the Sun and Moon in Teotihuacan and other sites in the vicinity of Mexico City), before the big leap into the unknown down to Lima, Peru, where two weeks would be spent solving the problems of visas, then finally isolating themselves for about seven weeks in an area called Moyobamba, much more to the North and in the midst of lush greenery.

Ra
I am Ra. I greet you in the love and the light of the Infinite Creator. I communicate now.

12.1

Questioner
I got a call from Henry Puharich this afternoon. He will be here next month. I want to ask you if it is possible for him to join in our circle and ask questions. And also if Michel D’Obrenovic, who’s also known as George Hunt Williamson, happens to come here, would it be all right for him to be in the circle?

Ra
I am Ra. These entities, at present, are not properly attuned for the particular work due to vibrational distortions which, in turn, are due to a recent lack of time/space which you call busy-ness. It would be requested that the entities spend a brief time/space in each diurnal cycle of your planet in contemplation. At a future time/space in your continuum, you are requested to ask again.

This group is highly balanced to this instrument’s vibratory distortions due to, firstly, contact with the instrument on a day-to-day basis. Secondly, due to contact with the instrument through meditation periods. Thirdly, through a personal mind/body/spirit-complex distortion towards contemplation which in sum causes this group to be effective.

15.15

Questioner
I don’t mean to ask the same question twice, but there are some areas I consider so important that greater understanding may be obtained by possible restatement in other words. I thank you very much for your patience.

Yesterday, you also mentioned that when there was no harvest at the end of the last 25,000-year period: “There were harvestable entities who shall choose the manner of their entrance into the fourth density.” Can you tell me what you mean by how “they will choose the manner of their entrance into the fourth density”?

Ra
I am Ra. These shepherds, or, as some have called them, the “Elder Race,” shall choose the time/space of their leaving. They are unlikely to leave until their other-selves are harvestable also.

15.16

Questioner
What do you mean by their other-selves being harvestable?

Ra
I am Ra. The other-selves with whom these beings are concerned are those which did not attain harvest during the second major cycle.

15.17

Questioner
Could you tell me just a small amount of the history of what you call the Elder Race?

Ra
I am Ra. The question is unclear. Please restate.

15.18

Questioner
I ask this question because I’ve heard about the Elder Race before in a book, Road in the Sky, by George Hunt Williamson, and I was wondering if this Elder Race was the same that he talked about?

Ra
I am Ra. The question now resolves itself, for we have spoken previously of the manner of decision-making which caused these entities to remain here upon the closing of the second major cycle of your current master cycle.

There are some distortions in the descriptions of the one known as Michel; however, these distortions have primarily to do with the fact that these entities are not a social memory complex, but rather a group of mind/body/spirit complexes dedicated to service.

These entities work together, but are not completely unified; thus, they do not completely see each the other’s thoughts, feelings, and motives. However, their desire to serve is the fourth-dimensional type of desire, thus melding them into what you may call a brotherhood.

15.19

Questioner
Why do you call them the Elder Race?

Ra
I am Ra. We called them thusly to acquaint you, the questioner, with their identity as is understood by your mind complex-distortion.

15.20

Questioner
Are there any wanderers with these Elder Race, or not?

Ra
I am Ra. These are planetary entities harvested—wanderers only in the sense that they chose, in fourth-density love, to immediately reincarnate in third density rather than proceeding towards fourth density. This causes them to be wanderers of a type, wanderers who have never left the earth plane because of their free will rather than because of their vibrational level.

70.18

Questioner
I’ll ask this question to inform me a little bit about what you just stated. When you came to this planet in craft 18,000 and 11,000 years ago, these craft have been called, I believe, bell craft, and were photographed by George Adamski. If I am correct these craft looked somewhat like a bell; they had portholes around the upper portions; and they had three hemispheres at 120° apart underneath. Is this correct?

Ra
I am Ra. This is correct.

70.19

Questioner
Were these constructed in time/space or space/time?

Ra
I am Ra. We ask your persistent patience, for our answer must be complex.

A construct of thought was formed in time/space. This portion of time/space is that which approaches the speed of light. In time/space, at this approach, the conditions are such that time becomes infinite and mass ceases so that one which is able to skim the, shall we say, boundary strength of this time/space is able to become placed where it will.

When we were where we wished to be, we then clothed the construct of light with that which would appear as the crystal bell. This was formed through the boundary into space/time. Thus there were two constructs: the time/space (or immaterial) construct, and the space/time (or materialized) construct.

70.20

Questioner
Now was there a reason for the particular shape you chose, in particular a reason for the three hemispheres on the bottom?

Ra
I am Ra. It seemed an aesthetically pleasing form and one well suited to those limited uses which we must needs make of your space/time motivating requirements.

70.21

Questioner
Was there a principle of motivation contained within the three hemispheres on the bottom, or were they just aesthetic, or were they landing gear?

Ra
I am Ra. These were aesthetic and part of a system of propulsion. These hemispheres were not landing gear.
