The Resume

    (April 17, 1891-April 23, 1965)
    Born in Poland
    Author, UFO researcher/photographer, and one of the first people in the fifties to claim to have actually met an alien
    Books include; 'Cosmic Philosophy,' 'Wisdom of the Masters of the Far East,' 'Inside the Space Ships,' and 'Pioneers of Space: a Trip to the Moon, Mars and Venus'
    Produced many photographs that he claimed are UFO's or aliens from outer space
    Has claimed to have met aliens from Venus and traveled aboard their ship

Why he might be annoying:

    The UFO's in his photos have been identified as street lights, an ice machine, and a chicken brooder among other things.
    Several of his claims have been traced back to sci-fi short stories and novels.
    He published one of his accounts as a true story with one publisher and as a science fiction novel with another with almost no changes.
    He falsely (duh!) claimed to have been a special ambassador between Pope John XXIII and Venus.
    He used the title 'Professor' despite not being a college graduate.
    He claimed that the dark side of the moon had 'cities, trees, and snow capped mountains.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    As a soldier in the U.S. Army, he fought against Pancho Villa and against Germany in WWI.
    He was widowed.
    His aliens were good looking with nice tans and blond hair.
    He was the victim of a hoax making him believe that the U.S. government believed in his work and supported him.
    Queen Juliana of the Netherlands was a fan and had an official court meeting with him.
    He died of a sudden heart attack.
