Craft Time Time Craft The Prediction of Supernova 1987A George Adamski was an infamous UFO contactee, with tales of meetings with extraterrestrials and photographs of saucer-shaped craft. In a number of books written from the 1950s, Adamski described meetings which have since been widely discredited as hoaxes perpetrated by both the US government and himself (Sources of Saucers, NEXUS #2). But to see how a prediction made by an Australian clairvoyant in 1986 came true 60 days later, we must explore a convoluted trail through four-dimensional reality - which starts with a reported UFO encounter in 1952.
