Adamski and the FBI
Born in Poland in 1891, George Adamski had the distinction of being the most supported, celebrated and ridiculed of those who claimed direct contact with human-like extraterrestrials. The controversy largely began on 20 November 1952, when, along with six other people, Adamski claimed that he witnessed the landing of a UFO in the Californian desert and then made contact with its pilot.
A study of the FBI’s documentation on Adamski shows that much of its initial data on the man came from a source (whose name the FBI has chosen to keep classified) who revealed the facts to the Bureau’s San Diego office on 5 September 1950:
“[Source] advised the San Diego Office that he first met Adamski about three months ago at the café which is named the Palomar Gardens Café, owned and operated by Adamski, at the road junction, five miles East of Rincon, California, at a point where the highway branches off leading to Mount Palomar Observatory.
“[Source] became involved in a lengthy conversation with Adamski during which Adamski told them at great length of his findings of flying saucers and so forth. He told them of a spaceship which he said he saw between the earth and the moon, which he estimated to be approximately three miles in length, which was flying so fast that he had to take about eighty photographs before he could get three of them to turn out.
“According to [source] Adamski stated that the Federal Communications Commission, under the direction of the ‘Military Government’ of the United States, has established communication with the people from other worlds, and has learned that they are so much more advanced than the inhabitants of this earth that they have deciphered the languages used here. Adamski stated that in this interplanetary communication, the Federal Communications Commission asked the inhabitants of the other planet concerning the type of government they had there and the reply indicated that it was very different from the democracy of the United States. Adamski stated that his answer was kept secret by the United States Government, but he added, ‘If you ask me they probably have a Communist form of government and our American government wouldn’t release that kind of thing, naturally. That is a thing of the future – more advanced.’”
Adamski’s comments that his alien friends were communists caused – at the very least - raised eyebrows within the FBI, and led to continued monitoring of his activities:
“Adamski, during this conversation, made the prediction that Russia will dominate the world and we will then have an era of peace for 1,000 years. He stated that Russia already has the atom bomb and the hydrogen bomb and that the great earthquake, which was reported behind the Iron Curtain recently, was actually a hydrogen bomb explosion being tried out by the Russians. Adamski states this ‘earthquake’ broke seismograph machines and he added that no normal earthquake can do that.
“Adamski stated that within the next twelve months, San Diego will be bombed. Adamski stated that it does not make any difference if the United States has more atom bombs than Russia inasmuch as Russia needs only ten atom bombs to cripple the United States by placing these simultaneously on such spots as Chicago and other vital centers of this country. The United States today is in the same state of deterioration as was the Roman Empire prior to its collapse and it will fall just as the Roman empire did. The Government in this country is a corrupt form of government and capitalists are enslaving the poor.”
From thereon (unsurprisingly!) Adamski was officially considered by the FBI to be a “security matter.”

Was Adamski a KGB operative sent to spread Soviet propaganda? The former KGB may have felt that a false religion based on the idea of Spacebrotherhood would be a good way to gather intel on US milltary research programs. Edwards AFB and the Lockheed Skunkworks Top Secret aircraft factory aren’t terribly far from this area. When the YF-12(fighter version of the SR-71) was revealed in the early 60’s, the Soviet military had a cow, deposed Kruzchev and started the crash development of the MiG 25 Foxbat interceptor. I wonder who the Russians are using now as a covert intel gatherers?

I misspoke, I should have asked was Adamski duped by the KBG into spreading Soviet propaganda and used to gather intel.

That theory has been suggested, interestingly, re the Russians etc.
It’s clear from the FBI’s files on the contacteets that it was indeed their political statements (rather than just the UFO angle) that were of prime interest to the FBI.
The FBI dug deeply into both Adamski and Van Tassel - visited them, attended lectures and prepared summary reports on those same lectures etc.
Of course, neither man was ever arrested for anything of a UFO nature by the FBI, so for that reason I tend to dismiss the Soviet theory.
But, I do think that (given the era when the contactees were at their height), anyone talking about alternative types of government, getting rid of nukes etc (and speaking to people at conferences, lectures, selling books etc), would definitely come to the attention of the official world.
