concrete proof of his contacts. Orthon explained,
though, that “you will find that this
alloy contains the same on all planets”
(Adamski, 1955). They boarded the ship
together and flew into space, where Adamski
and Orthon—now speaking lucid English, as
had not been the case in their first encounter—engaged
in extended conversation.
A third meeting with Orthon took place
on August 23, 1954, after the same two spacemen,
Firkon of Mars and Ramu of Saturn,
picked up Adamski at his home and took him
to a spacecraft. Adamski was reunited not
only with Orthon but also with other extraterrestrials,
including the beautiful women Ilmuth
(a Martian) and Kalna (a Venusian)
who had been aboard the ship he had entered
earlier. This time Orthon showed Adamski
scenes from the Venusian surface. The Venusians,
Orthon said, have an average lifetime of
a thousand years.
On April 25, 1955, Adamski flew into
space again with Orthon. A crewmember used
Adamski’s camera to take photographs of a
nearby Venusian Mother Ship into which
Adamski had transferred. Two of the blurry
results are reproduced in Inside the Space
Ships. One of them, according to the caption,
shows a Venusian looking out of a porthole,
Adamski out of a second, though to the untrained
eye the faces look like no more than
blobs of light. Lou Zinsstag, a Swiss woman
who was close to Adamski and eventually became
his biographer, reported that one day in
1959, while the two were conversing, he
pulled out his wallet and extracted from it a
photograph of Orthon in profile. Zinsstag,
who was allowed to study it briefly, was struck
by the figure’s pronounced chin.
In the early 1960s, according to Ad a m s k i ,
a new group of space people replaced the old
one. In later years, after his death, old associates
such as Blodget, Madeleine Ro d e f f e r,
Fred Steckling, and St e ve Within made
claims of having met Orthon, but Alice
Wells, Ad a m s k i’s executor and head of the
George Adamski Foundation, rejected their
a s s e rt i o n s .

Oxalc
Oxalc is from the planet Morlen, settled long
ago by human beings from the Orion system.
They sought to establish a supercolony. The
planet now houses six large cities in which beings
from many worlds, including Earth, currently
reside. Oxalc oversees forty-nine extraterrestrial
guides involved in Mission Rama.
According to one source, “The word RAMA
contains a vibratory activator and was chosen
forty-two hundred years ago. RA represents
the Sun or irradiation and MA represents
Mother Earth. The mantra Rama means Irradiating
Light on Earth” (Edilver, n.d.). Mission
Rama’s purpose is to help planets in transition,
such as Earth (also known as Merla), as
they enter the fourth dimension.
O x a l c’s presence on Earth became know n
in 1973 after a group of Pe ruvian fly i n g - s a u c e r
enthusiasts led by Sixto Paz Wells decided to
t ry to establish psychic communications with
e x t r a t e r restrials. The initial contacts took place
t h rough automatic writing from an entity who
called himself Oxalc. Oxalc gave a specific date
and place where he would meet them persona
l l y. The group went to the location, a coastal
region thirt y - s e ven miles south of Lima, and
we re shocked to see a brilliantly lighted, hamburger-shaped
metallic craft hovering less than
t h ree hundred feet over their heads. Their fear
and excitement we re so intense that Oxalc,
