September 20, 2020 95 - The Golden Era Contactees Part 1- George Adamski
Send us Fan Mail
The earliest American pop-culture era of UFO visitation and it had a somewhat different take on the subject. Before Betty and Barney Hill there was a time that the characters telling tales of alien contact were as interesting as the stories themselves. This time we talked about one early contactee and his story. George Adamski was his name and he was a hoot. We cover that and chase a few other rabbits.
