George Van Tassel (1910-1978)
A contactee, UFO enthusiast and religious type who in 1958 commenced building—but never quite completed— The "Integratron" in the California desert town of Landers. It was supposedly a domed time/energy machine built upon the theories of Nikola Tesla. Created to recharge and rejuvenate people’s cells, at the behest of an advanced entity for a coming space friend “Lord,” it was not without its risks, according to theory. An overcharge could make a person spontaneously combust—or even explode.
Also hosted the annual Interplanetary Spacecraft Convention at Giant Rock, California from 1954 to mid 1970s.
