In episode 7 Sean guides us through the lesser known (but still incredibly strange) story of George Adamski, the first reported extraterrestrial contactee in U.S. history. Did Adamski really pal around with a being calling themselves “Orthon of Venus”? Or was he just a giant con artist? Carrie keeps finding shades of L. Ron Hubbard in the would-be sci fi novelist, while Sean marvels at the crazy luck Adamski had in all of his sightings and communications…or was it luck at all? No matter what, this little-known story is the root of many pieces of popular extraterrestrial lore, from the Nordic aliens to flying saucers and beyond.________________________________________Connect with us on social media:Facebook: www.facebook.com/aintitscaryTwitter: @aintitscaryInstagram: @aintitscaryPatreon: www.patreon.com/aintitscary___________________________________________Thank you to our sponsors:BetterHelp - Special offer for Ain’t it Scary? listeners: Get 10% off your first month at www.betterhelp.com/aintitscaryAudible - Get a FREE audiobook and 30-Day Free Trial at www.audibletrial.com/aintitscaryBarkBox - Enjoy a FREE month of BarkBox on us when you sign up for a 6 or 12-month BarkBox subscription!
