Howard Menger (1922-2009) was an American contactee who claimed to have met extraterrestrials throughout the course of his life, meetings which were the subject of the books he wrote. Menger, who rose to prominence as a charismatic contactee detailing his chats with friendly Adamski-style Venusian "Space Brothers" in the late 1950s, was accepted by some UFO believers. As a child, Menger moved with his parents to the rolling hills of Hunterdon County, New Jersey. His first alleged contact with a person from another planet was at the age of ten, in the woods near his hometown of High Bridge, New Jersey. Menger always had religious revelations to impart after his "experiences," and also came back from his contacts with aliens with practical messages. Menger claimed he was an ET from Saturn reincarnated on Earth as a human being. He is called "Alyn" and his wife Connie is named "Marla Baxter." Connie was a human incarnation of Venusian (Valient Thor's species of humanoids). Later in his life, Menger stated in several documentaries that he believed he had misunderstood the space aliens and where they came from. He stated the space aliens did not live on Venus, but they had bases on Venus or were by passing by/exploring the planet. There are also some who claim the memories of Howard Menger, George Adamski, Buck Nelson, and other contactees were manipulated by evil ET's (known as Omegans) in order to trick them into believing in life on Venus in order to discredit the message of the positive & friendly aliens. This was written after Incredibly interesting first edition with original DJ & photos. Seller Inventory # RAREA1959DJKB
