The late Carl Sagan is generally credited as having discovered that Venus was utterly inhospitable to life -- 900 degrees (but it's a dry heat) and a crushing atmospheric pressure. In short, no Venuseans -- case closed on anyone claiming to have met Venuseans or to have visited Venus -- like Adamski and Meier. >We don't have to look for those who cannot accept the >idea that there are many people, whom they consider >inferrior to themselves, who may have had face to face >contacts with Alien Intelligences.

You seem to be ignoring the possibility that these guys, Adamski and Meier, deliberately made this stuff up (lied). Naturally, neither was in possession of information concerning the weather on Venus -- which, if you accept their stories at face value, they should have known before Carl Sagan. Either they made these stories up or the Cosmic Space Brothers lied to them. Which do you think is more likely? >It doesn't matter if it is George Adamski, Billy Meier, >or Travis Walton...these people cannot accept the >reality of those stories. Why do you include Walton in this list? Walton hasn't established himself as an Interstellar Ambassador and Fount of Cosmic Wisdom like Adamski and Meier. Unlike UFO cultists, he's told the same exact story for 20 years with none of the "detail inflation" that plagues most high-profile contactee accounts. That's why I consider Walton to be credible. Adamski & Meier's Venusean/Plieadian Space Brothers have been heavy on the platitudes, but light on hard data. If they wanted to be taken seriously, don't you think they might have passed along some useful tidbit such as verifiable, but previously unknown, scientific or historical data that would unquestionably establish their emissaries' bonafides? Do the Cosmic Space Brothers only want the gullible to believe in their presence and to follow their "teachings"? Hmmm, sounds like religion to me. Nope, all we get are aphorisms and platitudes. Shouldn't that tell you something? If not, I've got a sample of "alien metal" I'd be willing to sell you. Regards, Vince
