The 1952 footprint casts — 'Swastika and four stars'
artifactOccult & Esoteric
The first Nordic alien's footprints, as cast by a witness, carried a swastika.
Who they are
George Hunt Williamson's plaster casts, 1952[1].
What they do
This is where the swastika appears in the founding UFO-contact case.
How it works
Williamson's 1953 book has a plate titled 'Swastika and four stars'; a later biography describes 'a partial swastika on the heel'. Adamski's own books don't mention it.
Why it matters
The symbol is documented. What it meant to Williamson is not decided here.
The engine's record — word for word
[
Report #196] Plaster casts George Hunt Williamson made of the footprints attributed to Orthon at the 20 November 1952 encounter. Williamson's Other Tongues—Other Flesh (1953) prints a plate titled 'Swastika and four stars'; Zirger & Martinelli's Man of Mysteries describes 'a partial swastika on the heel'. Neither Adamski book mentions a swastika. Elsewhere the swastika appears in Nazi-esoteric records (landig, schwarze_sonne, wewelsburg); this is its documented appearance in the founding Nordic-contact case. Held as object; the symbol's meaning in Williamson's reading is not adjudicated.
