Dr Frank Stranges
Dr Frank Stranges, is academically well qualified, making it hard for sceptics to understand why
he should involve himself in 'space age gobbledegook'. An evangelist, he combines the teachings of his
faith with the teachings of extraterrestrials gleaned from his various contacts.
Since 1956 Stranges has claimed many encounters with UFOs and their occupants, which are described in
three books. One of them, 'My Friend from Beyond Earth', is similar in many particulars to Kenneth
Arnold's famous sighting. In a later book, 'Stranger at the Pentagon', Stranges describes his meeting
with Val Thor, a man from Venus, in the Pentagon Building in Washington.
"I then saw one lone man. It was as though he looked straight through me. With a warm smile, and
outstretched hand, he slowly started towards me. I felt strange all over. As I gripped his hand,
I was somewhat surprised to feel the soft texture of his hand...like that of a baby. His eyes were
brown and his hair wavy brown, also. He was to all appearances like an Earth man, but he had no fingerprints.
