Meant to suggest a classic "UFO," the Invaders' Saucer was clearly
inspired by the "Venusian" saucers photographed by self-proclaimed alien
abductee George Adamski who published several books about his cosmic
adventures during the late 1940s to mid-1950s. It was subsequently
revealed that the "Venusian" spacecraft he'd photographed was actually
part of an automatic chicken-feeder.

Mr Adamski was a really affable and friendly old man when I met him. My
mother knew him from the Point Loma Theosophy Society in San Diego.
After he wrote his "Inside" book we drove up to Alpine, CA to visit him.
I was about 12 at the time and was really into reading sci fi. I
can't remember what I talked about but I was absolutely fascinated to
hear his very detailed explanation of his "trip"
Wow! I hadn't thought about that since I don't know when .. thanks for
bringing the Adamski Chicken Feeder into the picture (pun, sorry).
