Ashtar

The Ashtar are a rumored alien race that surfaced in the year 1977.

The 1977 Incident
The Ashtar are well known by their famous hijacking of ITN news, as an alien calling itself 'Vrillon' addressed the nation in 1977. The place was the southern United Kingdom, where people were peacefully listening to a POW broadcast when the reporter was cut off. The voice following was considered scary by many.

In the broadcast it said people all over the world are following their teachings. They also say first contact will be soon, so keep a watch as the white dots in the sky are their probes. After the broadcast many people became believers in the idea of the Ashtar race and some of these people created 'cults' that aimed at the destruction of "weapons of evil" (nuclear weapons).

This is the voice of Asteron. I am an authorised representative of the Intergalactic Mission, and I have a message for the planet Earth. We are beginning to enter the period of Aquarius and there are many corrections which have to be made by Earth people. All your weapons of evil must be destroyed. You have only a short time to learn to live together in peace. You must live in peace... or leave the galaxy.
