George Adamski at Desert Center, 20 November 1952

On 20 November 1952, 10.2 miles from Desert Center, California, George Adamski said he met a man from Venus while six companions watched from a distance. A sworn statement, footprint casts and a returned photographic plate followed, and a 1953 bestseller. This is the record of that day: what was testimony, what was signed, what investigators found, and what is still open.
