...guest in question was Polish-born George Adamski, 68, who until several years ago ran a humble hamburger stand at the foot of California's Palomar mountain. Then one day he happened to meet a courteous and high-domed gentleman, and the gentleman was from the planet Venus. One thing led to another, and some time later a man from Mars and another from Saturn asked him in a hotel lobby if he would like to take a spin in space. The trip aloft included refreshments ("a small glass of colorless liquid") with an "incredibly lovely" blonde named Kalna...
Impassive? Interested? On the appointed day last week, a royal limousine called for Adamski and whisked him to the palace. For the benefit of the Queen, he repeated some of his adventures, told of a California girl he knew who eloped with a Venusian and was never seen again.

...past year Adamski's Flying Saucers Have Landed, with its airy gabble of telepathy and levitation and its photographs of saucers, has sold 65,000 copies in the U.S. and 40,000 in England. Adamski saucer-fan clubs have sprung up across the land, and his readers are flocking to hear him talk of the heavenly spheres ("Let us welcome the men from the other worlds-they are here among us") and peer through his two telescopes. Allingham's new book is a worthy successor to Flying Saucers Have Landed...
