"Yes, the Space People refer to me as Mental Channel Number One."
Former taxi driver George King is interviewed by psychiatrist Dr Stafford Clark.
George's extraordinary story began when he claimed he was spoken to by the voice of the Interplanetary Parliament one Saturday morning while doing the dishes. He further claims to have been visited by UFOs and become a conduit for a psychic alien from Venus.
He then enters a trance so that the Venusian Aetherius can give Dr Clark a warning about mankind's future. Also present are a Cambridge astronomer and another psychiatrist. You can judge the nature of their reactions for yourself.
Clip taken from Lifeline: Mars and Venus Speak to Earth, originally broadcast on BBC Television, Thursday 21 May, 1959.

Ever since I witnessed what Parkinson's and Lewy bodies dementia can do to the brain (hallucinations and delusions) I would never believe anybody to be anything but totally sincere in relating what they claim they can see and experience when I personally can not see anything. Not saying that this chap had either of those diseases but simply knowing what the brain is susceptible to and how capable it is of making us believe all sorts to be true has made me sympathetic to people like this gentleman even though I don't believe a word of it. He's certainly a source of fascination to me. He rarely stumbled over his words, maybe he was just an extremely good actor. Whatever he really was and really believed you can't get over the fact that he had got a point (although it's a shame religion had to raise it's ugly head)...'be nice to each other or Earth and mankind are buggered' Nuff said.

My late father in law had Parkinson's and possibly Lewy bodies both of which can cause hallucinations and delusions. Looks like Charles Bonnet can happen with deterioration of sight and is not due to dementia. I'm no expert but George King doesn't look to be suffering from sight loss or dementia. Who knows what this man may have been suffering from. I don't believe he really experienced the things he talks about but he himself obviously believed it and what's more wanted to talk about it on TV. I have to say, the first thing I did was check the date of transmission in case it was an elaborate April fool! Turns out it was transmitted 9 days before I was born! Wonder if my mum watched it😉

'Life' is pure consciousness with no mass. The/a physical body is a/the method that enables an individual soul (consciousness) to communicate in this physical plane at this time/space here on this planet. Without the constraint of a physical body, distance, time and physical 'living' (that is being alive) has no meaning you simply exist and it is infinite! You could be a bird or an insect or a tree or plant or fish or another mammal or what you think is an alien if you happen to be in a human form at the moment. Some of us know and some (most) do not!

This man I knew was very intelligent and was involved with the likes of Carl Sagan and was a member of the Interplanetary Association. I was a young boy when I knew him though he never said anything to me I felt he knew a lot more than he let on. He died in his mid 50's!? I have a few of his papers and he was involved with Jodrell Bank and Bernard Lovel etc etc. The chap featured here is probably barking mad but may be trying to tell us things without actually saying it.
