translucent. It had a cabin showing four portholes in a row and a three-ball undercarriage; the bottom came nearly to a point. Except for the swish as it went away, it was completely soundless. Adamski described his saucer thus: 'It was a beautiful small craft shaped more like a heavy glass bell than a saucer. Yet | could not see through it any more than one can see through the glass bricks that are popular in some of the newer office buildings and homes, which permit more light to enter than would solid walls. It was translucent and of exquisite colour.’ Leonard Cramp made an orthographic comparison of the Adamski Scout photograph with that taken by Stephen Darbishire. The procedure, together with the full story is described in his book, Space, Gravity and the Flying Saucer. This showed that the Coniston Saucer was identical to that of Adamski's. The integrity of Stephen Darbishire and his family is beyond question. The question posed is: If Adamski's photograph is a fake, where did he obtain the original on which to base his fake? Corroborative evidence of another kind was brought to light with the publication of a book by the French explorer Professor Marcel F. Hornet. Sons of the Sun was first published in 1958 in German and later in English in 1963.* It describes the discovery of symbols closely resembling, and in some cases identical, with those on the photographic plate Adamski received from the Venusian in 1952. The symbols were found among several thousands of characters on a huge boulder in north-eastern Brazil, known as the Pedtra Pintada. Their age is estimated as at least ten thousand years but more likely as thirty thousand years old. Adamski said that in a subsequent meeting, his Venusian friend told him that the messages he gave him were of a ‘universal character’. In his first contact, Adamski learned that large numbers of other planets throughout the universe are inhabited, and on enquiring how many were inhabited in our own system, the answer was given by a large round sweep of the hand with vertical sweeps across it, implying that all of them were. He indicated that the form of the inhabitants is more or less universal and tried to elaborate further with more gestures, perhaps trying to say that there were differences in size and colour, etc. This information cuts right across all that modern astronomy has told us, although some scientists go so far as to admit the likelihood of life of some form on our nearest planetary neighbours, Mars and Venus. Conflicting data has been received by our scientific instruments regarding the temperature and the atmospheric content on Venus and some have ventured that conditions there may not be much different from that of our own world. However, if all our planets are inhabited there must be some radical flaws in our knowledge, and it is not surprising that Adamski's claims should be so unacceptable to most of the orthodox scientists. Scientists once theorised that the major planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, were each a huge mass of rock overlain by a sea of hydrogen and with an outer layer of gases visible to telescopes. Another, more recent theory, holds that each of these planets is an enormous sphere of hydrogen which becomes metallic towards the centre owing to the enormous pressure exerted. Spectroscopic studies seemed to confirm that one or other of these theories was correct. Now, however, the spectroscope is no longer regarded as infallible and it seems that astronomers do not actually know very much about conditions on athe let AN AI Be et ne ee a Despite all the official cover-ups one thing cannot be more certain, and that is we are being visited by alien space craft, whether they come from our system or outside it.
