About Howard Menger
- Howard Menger (February 17, 1922 – February 25, 2009) was an American contactee who claimed to have met extraterrestrials throughout the course of his life, meetings which were the subject of books he wrote, such as From Outer Space To You and The High Bridge Incident.
- Menger, who rose to prominence as a charismatic contactee detailing his chats with friendly Adamski-style Venusian "space brothers" in the late 1950s, was accepted by some UFO believers.
- Later in his life Menger stated in several documentaries that he believed he had misunderstood the space aliens and where they came from.
- He stated the space aliens did not live on Venus but they had bases on Venus or were passing by or exploring the planet.
- Menger also wrote about this newer position about where he believed the space people come from in one of his later books.
- Menger states: "'Years ago, on a T.V.
- program, when I first voiced my opinion that the people I met and talked with from the craft might not be extraterrestrial, it was thought that I had recanted.
- However, they (the aliens) said they had just come from the planet we call Venus (or Mars).
- It is my opinion that these space travelers may have by-passed or visited other planets (as we are planning) but were not native to those planets any more than our astronauts are native to the moon.'" There are also some who claim the memories of Howard Menger, George Adamski, Buck Nelson and other contactees were manipulated by evil ET's in order to trick them into believing in life on Venus in order to discredit the message of the positive ET's.
- Menger had religious revelations to impart after his "experiences," and also came back from his contacts with practical messages. When he was still young he moved with his parents to the rolling hills of Hunterdon County, New Jersey.
- His first alleged contact with a person from another planet was at the age of ten, in the woods near his hometown of High Bridge, New Jersey.
- Shortly after leaving high school, he entered the United States Army and was attached to the 17th Tank Battalion.
- In later life he was often employed as a sign painter.
- But while still assigned to combat duty during World War Two he suffered a shrapnel wound to his right eye which became infected and resulted in complete loss of sight in both eyes.
- He claimed that a woman dressed in the uniform of an Army nurse visited him in the hospital and said that his vision would be restored.
- He did actually regain his eyesight shortly after that, and the military surgeons allegedly had no explanation for this virtual medical miracle. He died on February 25, 2009, at the age of 87.
