An Explanation of Photographs (on attached Sheet):

#1, #6, and #10 - Three of a series of photographs taken by Mr. George Adamski, beginning at 9 a.m., December 13, 1952 - through his six-inch telescope. This is the "Venusian Scout Ship". About 35 feet in diameter, this little spacecraft was made of translucent metal. On photo #1 is shown the large magnifying lens and the three-sphered landing gear, as well as the housing which contains the craft's main machinery underneath the ship. Photo #6 shows the portholes, spherical landing-gear, lens, and light on top of the cabin. The white line around the base of the dome is a form of power coil. #10 gives a detailed view of one of the three landing spheres by means of which the saucer can land in any direction. This simple ingenious arrangement also facilitates maintenance on the ground or in the stowage decks of great carrier ships. (Photographs published in the books INSIDE THE SPACE SHIPS and FLYING SAUCERS HAVE LANDED by George Adamski.)

NOTE: The first reported landing of a spacecraft in this century was made by a man from Cardiff, reported at Caerphilly, Wales, May 18, 1909. Mr. Lithbridge says he was walking through the mountains when he came across a large cylindrical construction parked beside a lonely road. Within a few minutes after the men inside had seen him, the machine rose in the air and flew away. It had no wings and made little noise. A depression was found in the grass at the place he indicated. - - - In ancient days these craft have been referred to as 'Chariots of Fire','Sky Pearls','Silvery Bells','Wheels within Wheels', 'Cars Celestial possessing the radiance of fire', to list only a few.

#2, #3,and #11 - From a series of four photographs taken by George Adamski on March 5, 1951 at 10:30 a.m. This shows the large 'Mother-Carrier and Laboratory' Craft (often described as 'cigar-shaped') releasing balls of fire or puffs of smoke. On this series one can see the 'Carrier Craft' releasing the 'Scout craft', one-by-one, until six are in view. The scouts moved down a sloping rail, and through air-locks in the bottom of the ship,out into space. NOTE: This type of craft has often been mentioned in Biblical and other ancient records, and even modern times as: 'Pillars of Fire', 'Flying Scrolls', 'Glorious Luminous Crosses in the Sky', 'Candles hanging in the Heavens', 'Arks with doves that flew to their windows'. They have been seen hovering in the sky, turning on end, swaying gently back-and-forth, and disappearing into the Heavens in seconds, turning many times the brilliance of bright gold.

#9 - This photograph was taken by Stephen Darbishire, age 13, son of a Coniston Doctor. Stephen and his cousin Adrian, age 8, witnessed this 'scout' descend at a tremendous speed, and disappear behind a hillock. It appeared again, tipped-up on its side, and then shot-up into the sky, making a swishing noise as it did so. (At Coniston, England, Feb. 15, 1954 at 11 a.m. Stephen described it as solid, metallic, with a dome, portholes, and three bumps underneath.

#13 - These two Orthographic Projections, made by Leonard Cramp(M.I.Mech.E.) show the S. Darbishire photograph (top) and the George Adamski photograph (bottom) to be identical objects with identical proportions.(From the book: Space, Gravity, and The Flying Saucer by L. Cramp). This graphic comparison proves that both photos, taken $ 1 \frac{1}{2} $ yrs. apart and in different countries, are authentic. NOTE: (Testimony of experts supporting G. Adamski's photographs): John Ford (renowned film director)"These are no models...these are very large objects shot through what I should imagine to be a six-inch lens." Joe Mansour (professional photographer of model aircraft)..."Definitely not models, but large objects seen through a tele-photo lens."

#4, #8, #12 - This photographic series includes several additional photos not shown here. These were taken by Mr. Cedric Allingham, of Scotland, on Feb.18, 1954, at approx. 3:45 p.m. This shows the 'Martian-type' of Space craft making its final descent preparatory to landing. #12 is the first photo to be taken of a 'Space Craft' actually on the ground. The revolving dome appeared to be shaped from one sheet of metal. Allingham estimated the total diameter at about 50' and the height approx. 20'. The portholes and landing gear are clearly shown. The man (shown in photo #8) who came out of this craft, by means of sign language, identified himself to Mr. Allingham as coming from the planet Mars. He was about 6' and wore a single-piece garment. A double harness, which can be seen on the photo served some function in connection with a detachable headpiece. The Martian had a face of a very deep tan and he smiled with both his eyes and his lips.
