"Yes, the Space People refer to me as Mental Channel Number One."

Former taxi driver George King is interviewed by psychiatrist Dr Stafford Clark.

George's extraordinary story began when he claimed he was spoken to by the voice of the Interplanetary Parliament one Saturday morning while doing the dishes. He further claims to have been visited by UFOs and become a conduit for a psychic alien from Venus.

He then enters a trance so that the Venusian Aetherius can give Dr Clark a warning about mankind's future. Also present are a Cambridge astronomer and another psychiatrist. You can judge the nature of their reactions for yourself.
