Background
In the evening George Adamski and some associates were watching the meteor shower associated with Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner when they saw a “gigantic spacecraft” hovering above the mountain ridge south of Mount Palomar, California. Adamski claimed that a military officer assured him a few weeks later that the object was from another world. Others in San Diego saw an object with a long, tube-shaped fuselage, giant wings and two red lights. The medium Mark Probert later told the press that he had established psychic communication with the occupants and that the object was called the Kareeta. Eberhart cites the Los Angeles Daily News of 10 October 1946, further newspapers of 14 and 15 October 1946, Round Robin and later books. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
