RE: UNIDENTIFlED FLYING OBJECTS,
INVESTIGATIVE SOCIETY;
GEORGE W. VAN TASSEL
The maj or part of his lecture was devoted to
explaining the occurrences in t he Bible as they related
to the space people. He said that the only mention of God
in the Bible is in the beginning when the universe was being
made. He said that after that all references are to "out
of the sky" or "out of heaven." He said that this is due .
to the fact t hat man, space people, was made by God and
that in the beginning of the world the space people came
to t he earth and left animals here. These were the pre
historic animals which existed at a body temperature of 105
degrees; however, a polar tilt occurred whereby t he poles
shifted and the tropical climates became covered with
ice and vice versa. He said that then the space people
again put animals on the earth and this is depicted in the
Bible as Noah's Ark. He said that after the polar tilt
the temperature to sustain life was 98.6 degrees, which was
suitable for space people, so they established a colony
and left only males here, intending to bring females at a
later date on supply ships. T'n1s is reflected in ADAM's
not having a wife. He said that ADAM was not an individual
but a race of men. He said that this race then inter
married with "intelligent, upright walking animals," which
race was EVE. Then when the space people came back in the
supply ships they saw what had happened and did not land
but ever since due to the origin of ADAM, they have watched
over the people on earth. He said that this is recorded in
the Bible many times, such as MOSES receiving the Ten
Commandments. He said the Ten Commandments are the laws of
the space people and men on earth only give them lip service.
Also, the manna from heaven was bread supplied by the space
people. He also stated that this can be seen from the native
stories such as the Indians in America saying that corn and
potatoes, unknown in Europe, were brought here by a "flaming
canoe." He said this refers to a apace ship and the Indians•
highest form or transportation was the canoe, so they likened
it unto that. He said this can be shown also by the old
stories of Winged Chariots and Winged White Horses, which
came from out of the sky. He said that JESUS was born or
MARY, who was a space person sent here already pregnant in
order to show the earth people the proper way to live. He
said the space people have watched over us through the years
and have tried to help us. He said they have sent their
agents to the earth and they appear just as we do; however,
