Publisher's Synopsis
Van Tassel was a classic 1950s contactee in the mold of George Adamski, Truman Bethurum, Daniel Fry, Orfeo Angelucci and many others. He hosted "The Giant Rock Spacecraft Convention" annually beside the Rock, from 1953 to 1978, which attracted at its peak in 1959 as many as 10,000 attendees. Guests trekked to the desert by car or landed airplanes on Van Tassel's small airstrip, called Giant Rock Airport. Over the years, every famous contactee of the period appeared personally at these conventions, and many more not-so-famous ones. References often state that the first and most famous contactee, George Adamski, pointedly boycotted these conventions; however, Adamski did, in fact attend the third convention, held in 1955, where he gave a 35-minute lecture and was interviewed by Edward J. Ruppelt, once head of the Air Force Project Blue Book. It was apparently the only such convention Adamski ever attended. Van Tassel founded a metaphysics research organization called The Ministry of Universal Wisdom, and The College of Universal Wisdom to codify the spiritual revelations he was now regularly receiving via communications with the people from Space.Proceedings of the College of Universal Wisdom was the official publication of the College of Universal Wisdom, the educational branch of the ministry of Universal Wisdom, founded by George W. Van Tassell (1910-1978). Van Tassell was the author of I Rode in a Flying Saucer (1952) and other books and the organizer of Giant Rock Space Convention, held annually at Giant Rock Airport, near Yucca Valley, California. The ministry was founded to perpetuate the teaching received from UFO visitors. The messages from outer space were published in the Proceedings. Toward the end of Van Tassel's life the Proceeding became irregular and then ceased to exist altogether. George Van Tassel died of a heart attack in Landers, California in 1978. Saucerian Publisher was founded with the mission of promoting books in Science Fiction. Our vision is to preserve the legacy of literary history by reprint editions of books which have already been exhausted or are difficult to obtain. Our goal is to help readers, educators and researchers by bringing back original publications that are difficult to find at reasonable price, while preserving the legacy of universal knowledge. This book is an authentic reproduction of the original printed text in shades of gray. IMPORTANT, despite the fact that we have attempted to accurately maintain the integrity of the original work, the present reproduction has missing and blurred pages, poor pictures and FBI censorship's pencil markings from the original scanned copy. Because this book is culturally important, we have made available as part of our commitment to protect, preserve and promote knowledge in the world. This edition on the FBI file of Van Tassel is a real collection of his documents from the FBI. Great, but unpretentious, this edition is a rare symbols by itself of what was going in the begining of the modern UFO phenomena.This edition has the following parts: W.W.II George Van Tassel's Draft Card; Frank Critzer's Story; Giant Rock Interplanetary Spaceship Convention; The FBI FILE Of George Van Tassel. The FBI became in contact with Van Tassel as a result of his claims that he have a mysterious device (the Integraton that according to FBI sources could be a weapon), and to his former association with Frank Critzer who was falsely accused, during 1942 while the US was at war with Germany, of being a German spy because of his German name who live in a desolate place as Giant Rock with a landing strip and a remote radio antenna. ____Copy and paste the link for our books: https: //saucerianbooks.blogspot.com/ ___
