FLYING SAUCERS HAVE LANDED

" If Adamski and the six companions who swore an affidavit to his Space Man

encounter are not trying to pull off a gigantic hoax, then this is quite possibly the

greatest story ever."

That was what the Daily Sketch wrote about " Flying Saucers Have Landed." For,

in the second part of this book, Adamski swears that he saw a space ship land in

the desert in California and that he made contact with one of its occupants. More,

he provides considerable testimony to support his claims.

Desmond Leslie, who contributes the first part of the book, goes even further,

asserting that flying saucers have been landing on earth for thousands of years,

and gives records of their arrivals

Acknowledgments

I wish to thank Michael Juste, Robert Roberts, B.SC., Harold Chibbett, Oswald

Frewen and Herbert Jones, who in various ways have provided me with

invaluable assistance in the preparation of Book One.

I also wish to thank the Editors of Time and Life for their kind permission to

reprint the seven incidents from Life mentioned in Chapter 2; Elliott Rockmore for

kindly supplying the Flying Saucer Review, referred to in Chapter 4;

Theosophical Publishing House for allowing liberal quotations from the works of

Besant, Leadbeater and Sinnett; Lucis Press for the quotations from The Tibetan;

Andrew Dakers Ltd for the extract from More Things In Heaven, and the various

Saucer Research Groups throughout the world who have furnished material. Also

to Hutchinson & Co. (Publishers) Ltd, for permission to quote from The Flying

Saucers Are Real, by Donald Keyhoe. No acknowledgment would be complete

without a most grateful thought cast in the direction of the shade of the late

Charles Fort, whose researches have literally saved me years of labour.

DESMOND LESLIE

With grateful thanks I acknowledge the sincere co-operation and untiring efforts

of those who have helped me make this book possible. And without the editing

and helpful encouragement of C.L.J. this book in its present form and at this time

would have been impossible.

Foreword

About eighteen million years ago, say the strange and ancient legends of our

little planet, at a time when Mars, Venus and Earth were in close conjunction,

along a magnetic path so formed came a huge, shining, radiant vessel of

dazzling power and beauty, bringing to earth ‘thrice thirty-five’ human beings, of

perfection beyond our highest ideals; gods rather than men; divine kings of

archaic

memory,

under

whose

benign

world-government

shambling,

hermaphrodite monster was evolved into thinking, sexual man. 1

Besant, The Pedigree of Man; H. P. Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine, Vols.

I and III; A. E. Powell, The Solar System; C. W. Leadbeater and Annie

Besant, Man, Where, Whence and Whither.

The arts by which these elder members of the Solar Family propelled their

vessels, raised great weights, and ordered their dominion over natural elements

(say the legends) were imparted to our early forefathers who, later, built shining

vessels of their own, and with colossal intuition explored the upper spaces, and

sought out the secrets of the inner depths. They understood and wielded states

of matter whose existence modern science barely suspects, and constructed

forms outside the crippling limitations of tangible matter.

From then until the present day, earthly constructions, and constructions from a

myriad of other worlds, have been seen and recorded in our sky.

When press and radio came, enabling man to fill the whole world with his chatter,

hitherto restricted by the effective range of his lungs, a luminous body seen over

London or an aerial phenomenon seen in Western America would cause

speculation in Australia and wonder in India all on the same day—thanks to the

modern improvements.

That is why, on 24 June 1947, when Kenneth Arnold saw a fleet of ten shining

circular disks whizzing along at a thousand miles per hour, darting in and out of

the peaks around Mount Rainier, State of Washington, the news flashed round

the world with the speed of light waves, and started the commotion we call flying

saucers.

Arnold certainly started something (revived would be more accurate), and from

then on a steady stream of reports came in, mainly from trustworthy, observant

citizens who had noticed that an early form of locomotion was once more active

in the air. In spite of constant denials and quite unbelievable explanations, the

governments of the world have gradually been forced to give their attention to the

matter and to create secret departments for investigation. Today, the American

Government has dropped its original attitude of disbelief and admitted that it has

over eighteen hundred authentic cases on its files. The British Air Ministry is

more cautious, but grudgingly admits that it also has a secret department to deal

with or to discourage questions.

The American Government, however, on 25 September 1952 dropped the

alarming hint that it accepts these phenomena but hints that it is not in the public

interest for it to publish all it knows.

Now such a remark is disquieting, not only to those old ladies who nightly peer

beneath their beds for burglars, but also to the general public, down whose

communal spine a slightly chilling sensation is apt to pass. Thus it is the purpose

of this book to find out just what that something could be the authorities do not

wish us to know. And the result of this Pandora-like curiosity is to land ourselves

with a splash in Stygian waters, well out of our depth, and out of the depth, too,

we think, of the authorities, governmental and scientific, who would be loath to

consider such possibilities. Nor is it really their business to do so, for when

governments start plumbing the river Styx, the results are not always beneficial to

the governed.

However, having wet ourselves in its alluring waters we have, undaunted,

dropped our little plumbline, and in the course of our survey made some quite

unexpected soundings, usually in places where the few existing charts say: ‘No

bottom’; and at others, where the depth is confidently given, the line has

practically run out of our hands into some unfathomable abyss. The following

chapters will present the findings as they came.

A word in passing, and a warning. This book is neither intended for, nor humbly

dedicated to, the statistician, nor anyone else who mistakes figures for facts, nor

does it aim to please the followers of what is called Popular Science. A

proponent of the latter once took considerable pains explaining to

G. K. Chesterton that the diamond was exactly the same as a lump of coal. At

the end of it all Chesterton replied: ‘Any fool can see it isn’t !’

It is to this sort of fool; to the lonely heretic who likes to walk alone down strange

untrodden paths; to him who believes that all things are possible, particularly

those things held by other men to be impossible; to him who leaves no stone

unturned, and to him who gives a second chance to ‘the stone rejected by the

builders’, that this book is dedicated.

To these I offer some very curious stones for the turning; taking no responsibility

whatsoever for anything they may find beneath.
