Just like a lot of people who get into the UFO subject as a kid, I too thought that the whole thing was extraterrestrial in origin and nature. And that was it. As time went by, though, and as I got into my twenties, I came to suspect that much of the phenomenon was paranormal. Even occult-driven, perhaps. So, with that said, let's look at some examples of why I think the real mystery is likely not to be extraterrestrial. But, something even much stranger. Let's begin with the UFO Contactee/Space Brother issue that began in the early 1950s. Also known as Michael d’Obrenovic and Brother Philip, George Hunt Williamson was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1926, became entranced by the occult in his teens, and evolved into a significant player on the Flying Saucer scene of the early to mid 1950s. In 1954, Williamson and UFO researcher Al Bailey published their own saucer-dominated volume: The Saucers Speak, that focused upon Williamson’s attempts to contact extraterrestrials via the alternative mediums of short-wave radio and Ouija-boards [italics mine]. Actar of Mercury; Adu of Hatonn in Andromeda; Agfa Affa from the dark depths of Uranus; Ankar-22 of Jupiter; Artok of Pluto; and numerous others were among the motley alien crew with whom Williamson claimed to have communicated. In the late 1950s, Williamson changed his name, created a new fictitious academic and family background to accompany his latest moniker, and – as far as the Contactee issue was concerned – largely vanished. Williamson died in 1986, a figure by then largely forgotten, or completely unknown to, the UFO research community of the day.
