              Wendelle C.Stevens (engl.publ.) about
              this book and  on (higher) life on Venus: 
             
            "On the 10th of May 1990 I gave a UFO lecture in Rochester, 
New York, which was sponsored by Bill and Rhoda Sherwood. That was also 
the first day of an extended three week European tour to renew old 
acquaintences and to pick up new information in exchanges of data from 
UFO investigations. That round trip turned out to be a most profitable 
one indeed in terms of new and astounding information. 
             
            Before leaving Rochester, Bill Sherwood gave me a small book
 which he had translated from German some years before. It was 
originally written in Italy in Italian. The title was "ANGELS IN 
STARSHIPS". He had printed up a few copies of his translation some years
 ago, but it did not get much outside distribution. 
             
            The reason for giving me the book had its foundation in the 
second purpose of my visit to Rochester, which was to interview Bill and
 Rhoda on their aoquaintence with George Adamski, an early UFO contactee
 who was successfully put down by the UFO antagonists of the time, 
abetted by the popular UFO clubs, none of whom ever carried out any real
 investigation of the man or his ET contacts. 
             
            My interest and my convictions about the validity of George 
Adamski's UFO contacts had been growing steadily since late 1979 when 
Swiss journalist Lou Zinsstag had given me her original manuscript on 
Adamski who stayed with her on his trips to Europe. She was personally 
acquainted with George almost from the time he came to the attention of 
the press in 1953, and they corresponded and met when possible since 
that time. Modified parts of that manuscript were used in "GEORGE 
ADAMSKI, The Untold Story" by Lou Zinsstag and Timothy Good. The gold 
Papal medal given Adamski by Pope John XXIII is kept today in the safe 
in Lou's brother's jewelry store in Basel, Switzerland. 
             
            My convictions were reinforced after reading Bruce Cathie's 
report on Mr. Adamski following his personal investigations in March of 
1979, the only recognized UFO researcher ever to go to that trouble. He 
published a report on his findings in the last pages of his book "THE 
BRIDGE TO INFINITY". 
             
            An unusual twist in the Adamski story came out of a UFO 
landing in England on 24 April 1965, near Scoriton, in Devonshire, where
 three space-beings in "light-body" got out of a bell-shaped ship and 
made contact with Mr. Arthur Bryant, a gardener there, and one of the 
ETs indicated association with the former George Adamski, who left his 
physical body the day before in death
             
            in the United States of America. That report and its 
investigation fills an entire book titled "THE SCORITON MYSTERY" BY 
Eileen Buckle. 
             
            We picked up other confirmations of the Adamski story in our
 loop through Europe during the next two weeks, including his private 
audience with the King and Queen of the Netherlands in 1959 and his 
private meeting with Pope John XXIII in the Vatican a few years later. 
We spoke to witnesses to both events and find them to be highly 
credible. 
             
            On our return to London the end of May we met with Benjamin 
Creme, who says he is a desciple of Lord Mitreya, one of the mystic 
masters of the Far East described in the Theosophical literature of the 
early 1900s, who, surprisingly added several more pieces to the puzzle. 
Mr. Creme told us that George Adamski was a pupil of one of his masters,
 and that he met Adamski, a second degree initiate, in his "light-body",
 before George Adamski came to world attention as a UFO contactee. 
             
            Mr. Creme affirmed that George Adamski's contacts were real 
and that some of them took place in dense physical reality, just as 
described by Adamski himself. 
             
            To a question about Adamski's contactors saying they came 
from Venus, Mr. Creme readily replied that such was really true. In fact
 he added the information that there were many Venusians among us then, 
and even today, and that George Adamski was a Venusian spirit who had 
taken incarnation here for a very specific purpose, which he had 
fulfilled before leaving this realm in death of the physical body. 
According to Creme, Adamski continued in his Venusian "light-body" after
 that, which does support the Scoriton story. 
             
            Mr. Creme explained that the life wave in evolution on Venus
 was forced up out of its dense physical level, equivalent to Earth now,
 by a change in natural conditions there brought on by that humanity 
itself. They all gave up their physical bodies in favor of higher 
dimensional "light-bodies" now appropriate to their new world of finer 
dimensional matter, where they have a form existence with landscapes, 
trees, plants, animals, water, clouds, atmosphere, buildings, etc., and a
 society appropriate to that vibrational nature of being. At the same 
time we see a hot, high pressure, uninhabitable surface at our density 
of being. 
             
            Creme said there is a human life wave in evolution on Mars 
too, but that they have come to exist in a vibrational realm of being 
somewhere between ours and that of the Venusians, but closer to the 
Venusians than us. He also
              added that there were other inhabited bodies in our solar 
system as well,
               but no others at our same dense vibrational plane of existence. 
             
            All of this lent substantial credence to the story in this 
book, which is our main reason for publishing it now. Even the title is 
most appropriate. Benjamin Creme informed us that Lord Mitreya had told 
him that all the angels of all the mythologies and histories of our 
world were simply extraterrestrials or extradimensionals, or both, and 
that they have come and gone ever since humanity came into being on this
 planet. Any serious investigation on your part will also confirm these 
truths.

          | ANGELS
              For the most part these are very
            misunderstood beings. The word 
            `angel' means a `messenger' and that has been their primary function, 
            coming to Earth from space ships to deliver messages. Of course, an 
            entity dropping out of the sky appears `divine' to unsophisticated 
            people, so the tradition developed that they came from `God'. Well
            of 
            course they did, `God' meaning anyone or anything with supernatural 
            powers such as the Gardeners of the Earth. 
            These flesh and blood angels became lumped together with entities
            from 
            higher dimensions, such as spirit guides and Higher selves, who can
            be 
            seen during astral travel, and Manus, who have responsibility for 
            cities, countries and worlds. Hence, to the unevolved, any being 
            beyond our limited comprehension becomes an angel- or a god 
            (not from this book)

                intro-extract;                                                            
                  "You will ask," Raphael (the space-contactman) 
resumed, "why we don't show ourselves to the inhabitants of Earth 
openly, or do something great or unusual in order that the truth might 
be made known to all, that everyone's eyes might be opened, once and for
 all. These are questions asked by a great many Earth people, at least 
since the time that Earth became a planet in need of rescue. I tell you 
now what has already been said and demonstrated to you before:
                   This is not possible, as long as the brothers of Earth will not open their hearts to the Heavenly Father in humility and love.
                   We work for your highest good, and we discern 
things which escape your error-blinded judgment. We understand when to 
take action and when to wait. 
                   
                  In other epochs, when things stood differently than 
they do today, we showed ourselves and led mankind quite openly.
                   However, we cannot use coercion against the gift of free
                  will, which God the Father has given to all 
his children, and we can state with certainty that the strength of your 
determination to probe the limits of rebelliousness will bring you even 
worse troubles than you have already experienced in the days to come. 
                   
                  Throughout the cosmos, it is not 
permissible for higher developed brothers to violate the freedom of 
those who still have a long way to go in their own development.
 So much that is bad can best be fought against after its devastating 
effect has been experienced by the people themselves, as a consequence 
of their hardness of heart. This is not because the good has no power to
 solve problems; on the contrary, it is the shorter way, and the way 
blessed by the Father." 
                   
                  Raphael stood up, and I did also. "Now we must part," he said. 
                   
                  Tina and the two space brothers, with whom she had been conversing, came over to us. 
                   
                  "We work by every means that we can," said Raphael, 
"in order that the good will eventually blossom on the Earth. This 
necessitates on our side a choice of action, always in harmony with the 
universal laws which are the Heavenly Father's will. Many times these 
are scarcely understandable to you,
                   because you follow a logic of human might which is opposed to universal
                  love. As a consequence of the limitation of your 
human understanding, you err when you judge us. Therefore it has been 
said and written, "Judge not." And yet you do pass judgment on God, on 
us, and on your brothers. Your judgment is in measure to your own 
prejudice. When you have arrived at a true understanding, the error of 
having been judgmental will be revealed to you. For in love lies the 
true understanding. The planet Earth has less love than the air which 
the inhabitants
                  breathe."

                   another
            extract; 
            "That afternoon I found myself at home. As I happened to raise
            my head, I noticed a light in the room, which grew gradually
            stronger and finally was much more intense than natural. In the
            midst of this luminosity appeared the figure of a young man of
            extraordinary beauty. As I studied him in utter amazement, I saw
            that his feet were lifted slightly off of the floor. He was barefoot,
            clothed in a sparkling tunic, and two bright wings. Enraptured with
            the beauty and majesty of his countenance, I gazed at him a long
            time in awe and wonder. This manifestation lasted for a considerable
            period of time, then finally disappeared as if a light were slowly
            extinguished. 
            
            In the
            days that followed, I could not erase from my mind the beauty of
            that manifestation, or the sweet feeling of peace that seemed to
            emanate from that light. It was as if this impression accompanied me
            silently wherever I went.  
             Since my youth, I no longer believed that
            visions could be something real; I had always considered them to be
            the product of stimulated fantasy. But now I thought about the fact
            that the young person had appeared to me while I was in a quiet and
            relaxed state of mind, without any cause for excitement. 
            The
            sense of tranquility which had accompanied that experience was such
            that I was able to observe very clearly all details of what had been
            shown to me. I couldn't comprehend it, but as I thought about the
            wings of that being, I said to myself repeatedly in awe and wonder,
            "Perhaps
            the angels, then, really do exist"
            ! 
            
            One
            evening before Easter I had just returned home and was about to
            attend to my affairs as usual, when the manifestation appeared to me
            again, in the same place and in the same manner as before. The whole
            room was filled with its light, which seemed to penetrate to my very
            depths. The radiant beauty of this being disturbed me strangely, yet
            I hoped that he would not depart. Deeply moved by this appearance, I
            was unable to either compose my thoughts or to think of anything
            else. 
            I
            gathered up my courage and asked him who he was. He smiled, and in a
            loving voice answered,
            "I am Raphael". I
            expressed the wish to learn something more about him and he said to
            me, "In the holy
            scriptures you will find the Book of Tobias; by reading that you can
            become better acquainted with me. You will see me again". 
            
            He
            stood for a while before me, with a look both pleasant and deeply
            penetrating on his shining countenance. Then he disappeared, and the
            light that had accompanied his presence also gradually faded away. 
            Among
            my books was a Bible which included the Apocrypha. I opened it, and
            as if by coincidence, came upon a page from the story of Tobias. I
            was surprised; it was as if an unseen hand had guided me to find
            this passage so quickly. I began to read and soon discovered that
            Raphael meant 'medicine', and 'healing from God'. The archangel had
            once come down to Earth in human form, to accompany the young Tobias
            on the roads of the world. He had led him to his bride and had
            healed her and also Tobias' father. Finally, when they wanted to pay
            him with gold, the angel made himself known to them, whereupon he
            rose up and disappeared from their sight. 
            All
            this I kept in my heart, and cherished the hope that I would see
            Raphael again, as he had promised.

             CHAPTER 2 
            The
            Chosen Place for the Meeting 
            
            I had lain
            down for a short rest at noontime. Just as I was falling asleep, a
            clear picture loomed up before my eyes. I saw a forest, its trees,
            underbrush, and a meadow with a path dividing it. I felt a deep
            peace come over me. As I was waiting for some insight into what I
            had just experienced, I heard the voice of Raphael saying to me,
            "Mark well the place! You should be able to recognize it in the
            future; it is the place of our meeting". 
            
            Then
            everything disappeared, leaving me with a feeling of calmness and
            inner peace. I sought to determine the manner in which the promised
            meeting would take place, and thought that perhaps the next
            manifestation of Raphael's presence might take place, not within the
            walls of my dwelling, but outdoors in a natural setting. That seemed
            to me an answer, yet I sensed that it was not all. I remembered that
            Raphael had said, "You
            will see me again". I
            decided to wait patiently. 
            On the night
            of April 23. 1980, the angel said to me, "In
            the early afternoon of the day after tomorrow, you will drive in
            your car to Finale Ligure. There you will learn what to do next.
            Greetings, in love!"
            Casting all doubts aside, I set out on the appointed day. The
            Riviera was crowded with pleasure seekers, out for a weekend holiday
            at the seashore. 
            Having arrived
            at Finale, I no longer had any problems, for the voice of Raphael
            came promptly to tell me the way. 
            
            "You must
            go to Calice," he said, "and from there continue on
            toward the mountain. There you will receive further instructions to
            guide you to the place of the meeting." 
            
            As I drove
            along the winding roads of the valley, I could not be certain
            whether I was proceeding from my own volition, or if a higher will
            was urging me on, or a curiosity stronger than all my fears, or the
            joyous anticipation of a meeting which I sensed might take place.
            The puzzle remained: I could not understand why I had been invited
            to go there. 
            Following
            telepathic instructions, I had turned to the right, and was now
            driving through another valley, which widened and narrowed in
            irregular fashion as I pressed forward in the late afternoon
            sunlight. I drove until I was told to leave my small car, a Fiat
            500, and go on the rest of the way by foot. After finding a suitable
            spot to park my car, just off the paved road, I set off on a path
            leading up an incline and continued to follow the inner voice that
            directed me whenever I had the slightest doubt. 
            Ascending the
            slope, I was soon completely out of breath, but whether this was
            because I was not used to such climbs, or because of the excitement
            of the unknown, I could not say. My heart was in my throat. I stood
            still. At that moment I heard Raphael's voice saying, "Do
            not be afraid. Rest a little while, and then go farther. You will
            soon feel renewed." 
            
            I did as he
            said, and felt myself as if bathed in a healing stream. Thus
            strengthened and refreshed, I started off once more along the
            footpath. The sun was now behind me, and before me was the moon.
            They seemed to me like heavenly companions, harbingers, perhaps, of
            things to come. As I hurried onwards, I kept looking up at the sky
            in expectation. I felt entranced. 
            The small path
            now opened into a clearing. To the left I could still see the valley,
            and to the right, the mountain. I recognized it as the very place I
            had seen in my vision! Looking more closely, I was amazed to realize
            how familiar it appeared to me. My excitement quickened.
            "Breathe deeply and keep on going," said
            Raphael. I obeyed, and once again felt a flood of life-giving,
            refreshing energy. A soft, pleasant breeze caressed my body. I felt
            serene and full of joy. The breeze caused a slight trembling among
            the leaves, and it seemed to me that all nature shared my sense of
            expectation. 
            Once more I
            heard the voice of Raphael,
            "We are very near now, coming from the direction of the sun".
            I had heard it very
            clearly, as if it came from a point in the sky behind me. I turned
            around and saw, in front of the sun, over the valley, a small patch
            of cloud, which grew in size as it moved rapidly toward me. I heard
            a light humming sound coming from it. 
            I felt afraid,
            but, in spite of my fears, I kept my gaze firmly fixed on the
            mysterious object before me. It came ever nearer, reducing its
            velocity all the while, and began to descend to a point about one
            hundred feet above me. Now I could see it quite clearly. It looked
            like a large silver plate, in places like molten glass mixed with
            molten tin. Around it were lights of different colors, and
            underneath were three large spheres. All my fears left me and I felt
            my spirits rise to new heights. 
            The object
            again moved through the sky to a point where it hovered over a group
            of trees. Now I could observe it better than before. On the upper
            part was a large dome, on whose highest point burned a dazzling
            white light that illuminated the disc and its surroundings
            completely. The dome had small round windows around it, from which a
            similar light shone, as if the interior was illuminated from all
            directions. This light was stronger, but, rather than blinding to
            the eyes, it seemed to evoke an overall pleasant feeling within me.
            By comparison, the sun seemed now to be but a pale yellow glow. I
            was drawn to this light as if under a spell, and felt an
            unaccustomed joy within me which bestowed a blessing. 
            From this
            luminous disc I heard the voice of Raphael speaking to me.
            "It is not the first time," he said, "that we
            have met with men of Earth in this manner. From everlasting, we have
            spoken with mankind from our space vehicles, flying discs and
            starships. In your holy scriptures you have read that the Lord spoke
            to men of Earth from out of a cloud; your present encounter is no
            different from that which was experienced by your forefathers
            throughout the ages." 
            
            My
            astonishment grew as I sought to comprehend the fact that this
            experience was one which many others on this planet had had before.
            Again, I heard the voice of Raphael,
            "Welcome from the countless dwellings of the Heavenly Father,"
            he said. "Our worlds belong to the brotherhood of
            universal love. Among us, a degree of harmony and higher
            understanding prevails, such as is unknown to your world. Through
            the ages we have come to you from the heart of space to offer you
            help and salvation." 
            
            The place
            where I was seemed as if transformed, not only by the light of the
            flying disc, but also by the things I was being told by that great
            being. A feeling of boundless freedom and grandeur, such as I had
            never known before, overwhelmed me. It was as if the narrow
            limitations of my spirit had been torn away. 
            
            "We have
            long wished for this meeting with you," said the voice.
            "Our joy is great. Be assured always of our love for you and
            your Earth brothers. We will come again. We greet you in the name of
            the Father of all." 
            
            I understood
            that he was also speaking for others who must have been with him
            inside the craft. I had wanted to ask him about so many things which
            were on my heart, but it seemed inappropriate, and I could not find
            the right words to express my thoughts. 
            
            "We will
            see each other soon again," said Raphael, "but then
            you will not be alone. Hail and farewell!" 
            
            The light
            which surrounded the flying disc suddenly changed color from white
            to violet and then a deep orange. There was a flash like lightning,
            in that moment I saw clearly the interior, as if it were nearby and
            transparent. The angel stood upright under the dome with his arms
            outstretched toward me. He was dressed in a garment which reached to
            his ankles, and there were other persons around him that I could not
            see clearly. 
            The hovering
            disc now became a ball of light, and I could hear a soft humming
            sound. Then all at once it sped away in the direction of the moon
            and vanished from sight in the twinkling of an eye. Over the trees a
            kind of mist remained behind, which gradually dissolved in the fresh
            mountain air. 
            
             
            extract from chapter 4, with
            the heading "The Valley of Contact": 
            "You will ask," 
Raphael resumed, "why we don't show ourselves to the inhabitants of 
Earth openly, or do something great or unusual in order that the truth 
might be made known to all, that everyone's eyes might be opened, once 
and for all. These are questions asked by a great many Earth people, at 
least since the time that Earth became a planet in need of rescue. I 
tell you now what has already been said and demonstrated to you before: 
This is not possible, as long as the brothers of Earth will not open 
their hearts to the Heavenly Father in humility and love. We work for 
your highest good, and we discern things which escape your error-blinded
 judgment. We understand when to take action and when to wait. 
             
            In other epochs, when things stood differently than they do 
today, we showed ourselves and led mankind quite openly. However, we 
cannot use coercion against the gift of free will, which God the Father 
has given to all his children, and we can state with certainty that the 
strength of your determination to probe the limits of rebelliousness 
will bring you even worse troubles than you have already experienced in 
the days to come. 
             
            Throughout the cosmos, it is not permissible for higher 
developed brothers to violate the freedom of those who still have a long
 way to go in their own development. So much that is bad can best be 
fought against after its devastating effect has been experienced by the 
people themselves, as a consequence of their hardness of heart. This is 
not because the good has no power to solve problems; on the contrary, it
 is the shorter way, and the way blessed by the Father." 
             
            Raphael stood up, and I did also. "Now we must part," he said. 
             
            Tina and the two space brothers, with whom she had been conversing, came over to us. 
             
            "We work by every means that we can," said Raphael, "in 
order that the good will eventually blossom on the Earth. This 
necessitates on our side a choice of action, always in harmony with the 
universal laws which are the Heavenly Father's will. Many times these 
are scarcely understandable to you, because you follow a logic of human 
might which is opposed to universal love. As a consequence of the 
limitation of your human understanding, you err when you judge us. 
Therefore it has been said and written, "Judge not." And yet you do pass
 judgment on God, on us, and on your brothers. Your judgment is in 
measure to your own prejudice. When you have arrived at a true 
understanding, the error of having been judgmental will be revealed to 
you. For in love lies the true understanding. The planet Earth has less 
love than the air which the inhabitants
            breathe."
