GIANT-ROCK-UFO-CONTACT THE HISTORY -- On the night of August 24, 1953 at the GIANT ROCK, contact was made or so claims George Van Tassel. A Venusian from a scout ship, talked to Van Tassell at length about energy and other mysteries. From this alien meeting, Van Tassel decided to start hosting yearly UFO conventions at his desert airfield, which was located in Landers, California.
![]() From this GIANT-ROCK-UFO-CONTACT -- Van Tassel began running an annual UFO convention at his desert air strip. From 1954-1977 the Giant Rock would annually become a place where UFOLOGY was presented by way of speakers and spectators.
![]() Speakers, contactees, spectators, grifters, searchers, UFOLOGISTS, capitalists, would drive to or fly to the GIANT-ROCK-UFO-CONTACT "HAPPENING".![]() Above = 1966 SHINDIG |
Van Tassel attested that the GIANT-ROCK-UFO-CONTACT ship was from Venus, it was a small scout craft. The extra terrestrial that talked to him, was named Solganda, who looked around 28 years old but was 700 years in age. The Venusian looked NORDIC and his English was perfect, the being's voice sounded like actor -RONALD COLEMAN. Who is Ronald Coleman, he was a English actor, below is a audio of him reading Shakespeare's SONNET XXIX and a scene from the film "A TALE OF TWO CITIES." The thespian does have a fine distinctive, calm voice. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
At first the GIANT-ROCK-UFO-CONTACT conventions or THE GIANT ROCK SPACECRAFT CONVENTIONS were very primitive affairs. Speakers at ground level with a microphone would address the crowd. Then a tower was built with a speaker, then more speakers were added to the tower. Finally a roof top for shade was built atop the tower. Out in the middle of the Mojave at the Giant Rock which at one time was 30 miles from the nearest paved road, this odd UFO convention was held.

BELOW RIGHT: Taking a break from patrol duty, the Giant Rock UFO CONTACT events in the beginning were mild events, later on in the 1970s fights did break out amongst the crowd. More that likely due to the crowd components of that decade, the fights were the result of drugs and booze.

GEORGE VAN TASSEL -- the guy is made out to be a con man or a fruit loop, in how he comes across in explaining his alien contact. Let us be open minded.
Maybe he was a man who pocketed part of the funds that he raised for his pleasures. Maybe he was off the beam mentally a lot of the times.
HOWEVER! GVT was onto something. He had knowledge about frequency, sound, magnetics and electricity. Was it given to him by an lien. That could have happened, but I doubt that the man from outer space was from VENUS.
Back to what GVT claimed was given to him, secret or unknonw knowledge. GVT was onto something, in what he knew or what he had learned.
In my experience, frequency is one of the keys to this life, as in how we are, mentally, physcially and spiritually. Bell sounds, or certain type of sound can alter a person's energy. That alteration can take one to the good or bad side, in the decsions a psrson makes or in how that person sees the world.
GEORGE VAN TASSEL was close to unlocking a new type of energy. His UFO CONVENTION come across as a place that were minature WOODSTOCKS, for the UFO crowd. As odd as they seem today, as in 2025, there was somthing special about them.
The world ahs changed a lot since the first UFO shindig in 1954. THe bad part of the change is that people today are less interested in UFOS or Aliens, as compared to the 1954 populace. Do not let BIG BROTHER, the corporations, schools, take away your curiosity about differnet realms, or waht is out there.
Think about this? Why has the USA not gone back to the MOON? IT ahs been over 50 years since MAN was last on the MOON. What is being hidden from the public, by the powers that run this world? As in what does the ILLUMINATI know that you do not?
