George Hunt Williamson (December 9, 1926 - January 1986), aka Michael d'Obrenovic and Brother Philip,was one of the "four guys named George" among the mid-1950s contactees. The others were George Adamski, George King, and George Van Tassel.

Williamson, born in Chicago, Illinois, to parents George Williamson and Bernice Hunt, was mystically inclined as a teenager, but transferred some of his occult enthusiasmto flying saucers in the late 1940s. In early 1951 Williamson was expelled on academic grounds from the University of Arizona. Having readWilliam Dudley Pelley's book Star Guests (1950), Williamson worked for a while for Pelley's cult organization, helping to put out its monthly publicationValor. Pelley had generated huge quantities of communications with"advanced intelligences" via automatic writing, and very clearly was an immediateinspiration to Williamson, whocombined his fascination with the occult and with flying saucersby trying to contact flying saucer crews with ahome-made Ouija board.After hearing about the flying-saucer-based religious cult of George Adamski,perhaps through Pelley, Williamson andhis wife, and fellow saucer believers Alfred and Betty Bailey, became regular visitors to Adamski'scommune at Palomar Gardens and eventually members of Adamski's Theosophy-spinoffcult. They witnessed Adamski "telepathically" channelling and tape-recording messages from the friendly humanoid Space Brothers who inhabited every solar planet. The Willamsons, the Baileys and two other Adamskidisciples became the "witnesses" to Adamski's supposed meeting with Orthon, a handsome blond man fromVenus, near Desert Center, California on November 18, 1952. In fact the "witnesses" experienced nothing morethan Adamski telling them to wait and stay put while he walked over a hill, then came back intoview an hour later, with a preliminary story of his experiences--- a story subsequently greatlychanged for book publication in Flying Saucers Have Landed (1953), as Williamson himselflater pointed out.
