Lady of Pluto
Kelvin Rowe, an acquaintance of such early
contactees as George Adamski and Truman
Bethurum, began hearing voices in his head in
early 1953. The voices were mostly indistinct,
and he was unsure of their meaning. On
March 9, 1954, while driving to San
Bernardino, California, the word “Pluto”
sounded inside his brain three times in succession.
Later that month, after further brief
messages from beings he identified as
Guardians from Space, he requested a direct,
in-person meeting. A voice replied that one
would happen, but he might not recognize it
when it did.
At the Giant Rock Interplanetary Spacecraft
Convention in the California desert the
following year on April 4, he kept company
with Truman Bethurum, whom he had
known four years before Bethurum began
claiming an association with the spacewoman
Aura Rhanes of Clarion. He met three young
people, a woman and two men, who looked
normal and were friendly. It was only later
that Rowe realized that they had said something
to him that they could not have known
about an earlier trip he had taken to see
Bethurum. Rowe wondered if they had been
space people, and soon a mental message confirmed
that they had been. The message was
from the young woman, whom he would call
the Lady of Pluto.
In a 1958 book, Rowe recounted the conversation
that followed. The Lady of Pluto
told him that contact with space people
would radically alter earthling science and humankind’s
beliefs on a range of issues. She also
said that earthwomen would be more receptive
than earthmen, that by the time the open
contact occurred, women would hold positions
of authority in business and government.
Their influence would ensure that the
changes took place without undue conflict
and destruction. She promised that in time,
when he was ready, he would be permitted to
board a spacecraft.
Mental communication with various space
people continued over the next months. Eventually,
a spaceman came to Rowe’s house late
one evening. The two had a short conversation
via telepathy before the extraterrestrial
disappeared into the night. Soon Rowe was
regularly seeing flying-saucer people. A week
after the first meeting, the same Space Brother
and a companion reappeared at his door. He
invited them in for a conversation about cosmic
and philosophical issues. According to
Rowe, “They were fine looking men, with
smooth, dark sun-tan complexions, and dark
hair styled in longer length than our modern
cuts” (Rowe, 1958). Three weeks of saucer
sightings and psychic contacts took place. The
communicators were a man and woman from
Jupiter: the Brother and Sister, Rowe called
them. He unexpectedly met them in the flesh
for a short while.
His next contact, a few weeks later in January
1955, was with the Lady of Pluto, the first
time he had seen her since Giant Rock. She
was accompanied by a Space Brother, and
Rowe described her as “mettlesome and
lovely.” She stood five feet three inches tall,
wore a blouse, jacket, and slacks “in contrasting
tones of a beautiful, pansy-blue, similar to
royal blue, and a shade of red-wine in a scintillating,
deep intensity.” He was told that she
was the earthly equivalent of a captain on a
spacecraft. She also said that an asteroid was
passing dangerously close to Earth but that
the space people would make sure it did not
cause damage.
Some weeks later, Rowe met the Lady of
Pluto again, in the company of the Brother
