Venus Revisited and Other Contact

Venus Revisited and Other Contact 

“When I asked him where he was from, he replied, ‘I am from the Planet that is called Venus.’I asked him how many visitors from Venus were presently on Earth and he said, ‘There are presently seventy seven of us walking among you in the United States. We are constantly coming and going.'”

Frank Stranges, Stranger at the Pentagon


I recently posted more information on the 
Quick Stop At Venus  page relating to the USS Eldridge and claims by Mark Richards involving the legendary Val Thor. Mark says he met a woman from Val’s group and Venus is a great place to live in other dimensions. I wonder if it was either Jill or Vice Commander Teal — in either case, if I had met her I would have had a thousand questions to ask.

There are at least 20 books allegedly written by Thor or approved by him through forwards. Gray Barker (New Saucerian Press) not surprisingly had his hand in most. Topics range from relationships to Mount Shasta or advice about how to cast out demons. It is quite the legacy. I hope Val got the royalties due him.

Why Venus? There’s just something about that planet. Perhaps it’s imagery as the Morning Star and it’s prominence in the sky made it stand out as a place where contact originated. For whatever reason, it overshadowed Mars and the other planets with those who contacted the Space People. Buck Nelson took a trip to both Mars and Venus and “Cedric Allingham” said he met a Martian. But Venus stands out. Although no one could compete with Orthon and Valiant Thor, there was certainly many more Venusians that might have been mentioned.

Valiant Thor has the most enduring interest.  He stands out in many ways.  Unlike many space beings, he went directly to the top rather than contact people who were relatively unknown. He might have actually said the famous line, “Take me to your leader.”  Why would a Venusian choose to make contact with an Ozark farmer (Buck) or even a person who fancied himself as a teacher of Tibetan wisdom (George)?  

Vivenus - venus revisited and other contactStill, we are compelled to give a nod to Vivenus Starchild, another favorite Venusian who brought cosmic messages of peace and ran for President in 1968 as a write-in, arguing that it was not too late to vote for God. Vivenus toured the United States and gained some attention before disappearing. 

The role of Venus changed, however. Modern stories about contact do not focus on the planets and as Venus lost its prominence. Space has gotten bigger with contact going beyond the solar system   In general, the tales also became darker.  Abduction rather than contact became the standard. 

A few years later, Travis Walton’s 1975 story of UFO abduction attracted much more attention. He still appears at UFO events or is featured on various media.  His story has either been upheld as the gold standard of the scenario or dismissed as a hoax.

Vivenus might have been a better guitar player than Val but we wonder how she might have compared to Travis Walton. What became of her — does anyone still have one of her record’s?

The controversy around Travis has been renewed following statements made by some who were involved in the original story. Excellent research has been done by Charlie Wiser at the Three Dollar Kit.Robert Sheaffer covers further developments as Walton supporters (including Jimmy Church) seek to avoid inconvenient facts. The hoax theory has gained considerable ground but Walton has a following.

Añjali announcement.Recently, however, a contactee named Añjali  has emerged with a new claim of meeting the Space People in the Mojave desert. She states that she was invited into a tunnel where she met higher beings from a galactic Council. They were expecting her.  Now they are leading her to again have physical contract to prepare the world to transcend into the next density.

Añjali held a press conference describing her experience and world view, along with plans to assemble a team to return to the desert by the end of the year to document the contact.  Her beings come from somewhere beyond Venus, but in many ways she reminds me of Vivenus — perhaps without the guitar — and we may return to this tale if there actually is an expedition. For now it is enough to note that the Space People are still said to be with us.  Perhaps we have gone full circle.  

The world might be more in need of help from beyond than it was when the Space People first tried to help. Añjali is posed to take advantage of  a desire for outside help — but to what end?  Where else other than the Movaje would such contact take place? And does Venus fit into her story?
