Despite having died over four decades ago George Adamski still remains one of the most discussed personalities ever to have been involved in Ufology. Always a controversial figure, Adamski came to be regarded by some as a “prophet” whilst others described him as a total fraud. Adamski first saw the light of day on April 17th, 1891 in Poland. His parents decided that the U.S.A. offered far more opportunity and the whole family immigrated to Dunkirk, New York State when George was two years of age. Adamski was not particularly well educated as a child but overcame this with self-education.
In 1912 he joined the U.S. Army and served on the Mexican Border with the U.S. Cavalry until 1916 when he returned to civilian life working at Yellowstone National Park. He is also known to have been employed as a flour mill worker and a concrete contractor in Los Angeles.Adamski displayed his capable and lively intellect when, in the 1930s, he founded an organization called “The Royal Order of Tibet” which provided a platform for him to expound his own philosophies of “Universal Law”. Quickly, Adamski became known as “the professor” despite the fact that he had received very little in the form of a formal education. He then established a monastery at Laguna Beach, California, obtain a license from the authorities to make wine for sacramental and religious purposes (Prohibition was still the law of the land, at this time). Adamski was later quoted as saying: “I made enough wine for all of Southern California!”. Adamski was quite successful lecturing his own brand of philosophy but all good things must come to an end, which is what happened when prohibition was repealed and his wine was not in demand. Always resourceful Adamski and his wife Mary opened a café at Palomar Gardens on the slopes of Mount Palomar in north San Diego County, California, on which the famous Mount Palomar Observatory had been established.
