But do you ever wonder what becomes of old television programmes — apart from the ones they show on Sundays?! Do they just fade out and vanish — or do they keep travelling through space for ever, perhaps to be picked up by creatures on other planets? Fantastic — — but scientists think it is pos- sible. After all, we here in Britain were able to watch the Olympic Games in Japan via a satellite in outer space. »Some scientists even think that weird cracklings and gibberish that occasionally come in on radio and TV programmes are really pirate programmes from other planets. And it is true that scientific listening posts have taped some mighty odd sounds from space which could come from some sort of intel- ligence, somewhere in the Universe. »Back in September, 1953, viewers all over Eng- land were amazed when their screens suddenly carried the identification card and call letters of television station KLEE, in Houston, Texas. A freak occurrence? — that’s what the experts thought — - until radio engineers tried to contact KLEE, thou- sands of miles away across the Atlantic. »Station KLEE«, they were told, »has been off the air for all of three years, and since that time no KLEE identification card has been shown«. Where had that phantom picture been for three years? Why did it appear in England? And how did it get back from wherever it had been. Nobody knows. So if, tonight, you should see an unidentified object on your screen — — -« To Ufologists, the idea of watching a blank tele- vision screen for such phenomena is not so far-out — in fact, it might prove an interesting experiment for those of us who believe such things are pos- sible. Coupled with a telepathic request to our space friends, it might even produce results! That the idea has some scientific backing is shown by a recent article which appeared in the »Ottawa Journal” viz: »,,Live’ TV Coming from Outer Space?« Salt Lake City (AP) — A distinguished British astro- nomer, Dr. Fred Hoyle, speaks of the possibility of »live« TV from outer space. And by »live« he means people — outer space people, people who may live on planets like ours on the other side of the Milky Way. Hoyle thinks it’s highly probable that such planets and people do exist. So do a !ot of other scientists. »They think some of the radio waves hitting the earth right now contain messages from those people and there is some scientific effort under way to decipher these messages, to tune into those radio waves, waves which would also transmit pictures. »What could we see and hear on this »celestial« television? Hoyle, in his new book, »Of Men and Galaxies« (University of Washington Press), says some of these outer space civilizations have evolved further than we and would therefore be able to tell us, for example, how to avoid a nuclear war«. The Space Brothers Keep Their Word. As predicted by the Space Brothers in earlier issues of Topside, they are keeping their promise to make themselves seen more and more by the people of Earth. From the increased number of reports of sightings and landings of UFOs all over the world, there can be little doubt that our space friends are now making an all-out effort to awaken us to their reality, and it is becoming daily more obvious that they are prepared to use every peace- ful means within their considerable power to achieve their mission of goodwill. Their purpose appears to be two-fold: (1) To prevent a nuclear holocaust which may not only destroy Planet Earth but also produce dire results on the entire Solar System and perhaps even further afield in Outer Space; and (2) To enlighten their more backward Earth Brothers as to the urgent necessity of widening their horizons to encompass knowledge and practice of Cosmic Brotherhood, and the realization that they have moral obligations not only to their own kind but to civilizations on other planets who may have to suffer for Earth’s irresponsible actions. If the powers-that-be on Earth continue to cover- up and disregard the continued efforts of the Space Brothers, then they may expect to receive even more startling and dramatic visitations in the near future.

"WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO A COURT JESTER on the green lawns of the Royal Palace, provided he is not taken for an astronomical philosopher — —’’. Here, with all the arrogance of the self-opinion- ated, self-appointed judge, in words of ignorance, mated with bigotry and begotten of an inflated ego- tism, we see a small section of that vociferous but often influential Press opinion which always swallows before it chews. The occasion was the much-publicised, much-criti- cised audience of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands accorded to one George Adamski of California, U.S.A., at Il aim. on May 18th 1959, at Soestdijk Palace, near Utrecht, Holland. The vociferous Press opinion in this instance was of the Catholic People’s Party newspaper, ’’Die Volkskrant’’. We could imagine the same self-elevated journa- list writing: "We are not opposed to a court jester in the private apartments at the Vatican, provid- ed — —”, on another May day, of another II a.m. au- dience, much more secret, of much more potential significance, four years later, when Adamski was received at the bed-side of the dying Pope John. Of the one audience, with a gracious First Lady, the world’s sensation tabloids went to town. Lacking the meat of the occasion on which to feast their readers they gave them the bones and the offal, and in the process they soiled and besmirched their own honourable profession. The second audience was spared this treatment, and still is. And so we can perceive how some of George Adamski’s meetings with the famous received the full blast of publicity, whilst others, conducted in a secret undercurrent of diplomacy peopled with silent couriers and intercontinental briefings, are still, very much, ’’classified”’. Adamski was NEVER afraid of the scoffers and the critics, still less of the faceless spokesmen in autho- rity. With energy which had to be seen to be be- lieved, with courage of conviction based in sure knowledge of his own experiences, and with fortitude distilled from the sweet and the sour of his support- ers and his detractors, HE DIDN’T GIVE A DAMN. He could have written ’’pot-boilers’ of space- fiction in his sunny California, like many of his cont- emporaries, making a fortune from the credulous. This is shown by the fact that his books became world best-sellers in many languages. Yet in 12 years he only offered TWO AND A HALF BOOKS to the general public. Does this seem like a man who is "on the make?” No. Instead he pushed and shoved his way into the, many times, inhospitable climate of ’’expert’’ analysis and clinical dissection, saying: ’’Here is my evid- ence, here is my story - TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT!” AND HE DIED, DOING JUST THAT. What kept him going for so long? What kept the flame so bright for those 12-13 long, bitter-sweet years? His tremendous sense of humour? YES! His many thousands of friends and supporters the world over? YES, THESE ALSO! But his faith in a DIVINE INTELLIGENCE and sure knowledge of the existence and the helpful presence friends from other planets in space, were the Rod of good, spiritually- and physically-healthy human and the Staff on which he leaned, until he died. G.A.’s end” was but a beginning. And when he “graduated” others took over. He knew, in those last few months, that it wouldn’t be long. Already he knew those who were going to carry on his work. And the Brothers and the Sisters, those friends from across the seas of space, were busy in their task of forging new links, reshaping the pattern of their contacts with those close to Adamski. AS WITH GEORGE ADAMSKI, the Brothers cont- inue to furnish evidence of their presence in our skies. New films, startling in their clarity, are being provided by G.A.’s Co-workers. New accounts of recent contact with the men and women visiting us are evidence of their continued interest in our wel- fare. Here, in this issue of UFO CONTACT, you will see more photographic presentation of ’’Unidentified Flying Objects’. In some strange fashion, by some peculiar ’’co-incidence’’, another of G.A.’s_ close associates is enabled to take startling movie-film shots of objects in the sky. With this new evidence we shall show, too, how Adamski’s successors are STILL pushing the experts, STILL offering for exam- ination photographic proof of "inexplicable phenom- ena” in the skies above us. There are always those who are ready to jeer and deride. This is a peculiar facet of the human psycho- logy which stems almost solely from ignorance. But, thank God, there are those also who, in the face of public intolerance and apathy, are able to stand out from the rest and say of the pioneer: Give the man his chance, let the man have his say”. As we have said a few words back, evidence is still being provided of our extraterrestrial visitors’ presence on and above our planet. That this evid- ence remains a puzzle, — or gives the impression, at least, of remaining a puzzle — to competent ’’ex- perts’’, despite public pronouncements made by the head of Project Blue Book, the U.S.A.F.’s UFO agency, that UFO’s are NOT from Outer Space, ("Evening Telegram’, San Bernadino, California, February 15th 1967 — full report on Page 103, UFO CONTACT, April issue), is shown here in the pages of UFO CONTACT.
