Orthon

Orthon
Affiliation	Space Brothers
Origin	Venus
First Contact(s)	George Adamski

Orthon is (or was) an extraterrestrial being that George Adamski claimed to have encountered physically, an event arguably representing the first of the Space Brothers contacts. In the years and decades following Adamski's original claims, others also reported themselves to likewise be in contact with Orthon, including members of the Universal Link. He was described as a Venusian with long blond hair and great stature, possessing archetypal Nordic physical characteristics and manner on the whole, and as having benevolent intentions toward humanity, being interested particularly in avoiding nuclear calamity.
