). As a kid in the 1950's I enjoyed monster and flying saucer movies of the time, then by my early teens became interested in UFOs. I became aware of the stories of the contactees and even went to some lectures by them at Town & Country Shopping Center in Phoenix in the early 1960s. Of the post 1947 early wave of contactees, two who were among the most prominent were George Adamski (who lived near Palomar Mountain and claimed to have witnessed a UFO landing near Desert Center in 1952) and George Van Tassel (who lived near Landers at Giant Rock and claimed that a UFO landed there in 1953 and the occupant gave him instructions on how to construct what would become the Integratron). From 1954 to 1977 Van Tassel held his annual "Giant Rock Spacecraft Convention" at Giant Rock. This was a popular event for the "true believers" and hucksters in the late 1950's and into the 1960's. (Modern day UFO conventions aren't much different, just more sophisticated)
The liklihood of us being visited (at least in modern times) seems rather low or non-existent, but the concept of it sure is interesting.
