Desmond Leslie

George Adamski's co-author on Flying Saucers Have Landed. Desmond Leslie turned up again and again in the cases that followed. February 23, 1954. He arrived at Coniston to see Stephen Darbishire's blurred photograph and called it the second of the Adamski type photographed anywhere in the world. In 1955 he and Adamski met Salvador Villanueva Medina, the man who said he had been to Venus. Then came Scoriton in 1965. The contact named Yamski mentioned a "Des", which seemed to point to Leslie. He and Adamski's circle dismissed the story.
