In the 1950s a wave of American "contactees" claimed face-to-face meetings with benevolent "Space Brothers" from Venus and beyond—fair-haired, Nordic-looking pilots of silver saucers bearing a message of peace and nuclear disarmament.

Led by George Adamski, a string of "contactees" claimed that gleaming scout craft and vast mother ships had delivered handsome, blond, human-like Venusians who called themselves the "Space Brothers" and urged humanity to abandon the atom bomb for love and spiritual growth [1]. These benevolent Nordic visitors recast the nuclear dread of the Cold War as a redemptive modern myth, seeding the UFO religions and New Age currents that would follow.
