Tom,

Thanks for the plug.  The same information appears in the
paperback abridgement, 'The UFO Book', available in your local
bookstore.

Though almost forgotten today, George Van Tassel was arguably the
most influential contactee of the 1950s, maybe of all time, even
more so than George Adamski.  The modern contactee movement
begins with the public channelings Van Tassel began in southern
California in January 1952.  His 'I Rode a Flying Saucer!' appeared
the same year, predating the Leslie/Adamski 'Flying Saucers Have
Landed' by nearly a year.
