Diane: She Came from Venus
Dana Howard's contact, Diane (Val-Deena Thor, according to the Epilogue by Gray Barker), is a highly evolved Venusian. Howard speaks of her alien friends with high reverence, as if they might be God's angels: "All over the world, an auspicious new day is dawning. A triumphant spiritual victory is soon to be won. Many earthlings will live to see it emblazoned across the morning skies, commingled with the dazzling radiance of the sunrise. With trumpets and fanfare the New Age will be ushered in. When that wonderful day arrives, those from on high will descend earthward. They will help to release all the human family to a new octave in living. And He shall send His angels with a great sound of the trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds (Matthew 24: 31)."
Unlike the odd looking humanoids and grey aliens of today, the saucer pilots of the contactee era were so human in appearance that it is said they could easily blend in with average Americans, walking down the streets of Anytown, USA totally undetected. They were mostly Caucasian looking, had long, wavy, blond hair with piercing blue or green eyes.
In this historic tome, Dana discusses her transformation from a normal person to one consumed by universal laws, teleportation, space travel, and things most women of the era would not have had an understanding of or liking for. Dana Howard was the Shirley MacLaine of her time.

Dana Howard was swept up to Venus by flying saucer and told her tale in My Flight to Venus. But there was much more than a holiday on another planet to her adventures. Her Venusian contact, Diane, it turns out, materialized to her during a seance in 1939 in Los Angeles. Others were present, and Howard solicited letters of support from several participants attested to Diane's appearance, which she reprints here. Then, after Howard moves out into the Mojave Desert, Diane begins to appear before her regularly. She brings the usual 1950s contactee messages: our experimentation with nuclear explosions endangers both the Earth and outer space; we are completely out of touch with the realities of the universe; earthly psychics have been in touch with the Space Brothers and Sisters since time immemorial; there is but ONE who rules the universe; etc., etc. Much of this information is conveyed in a series of "discourses" Diane transfers by means of "cosmic clairvoyance" (p. 53), so language is no barrier to communication.
Howard is something of a transitional figure, or maybe better an outlier, in the contactee universe. She shifts from space travel and interaction with physical aliens (though in My Flight to Venus she fudges with an admission that her experience might have been non-substantial) to visitations by a sort of ghost, an apparition that some have compared to visions of Mary. Later contactees will also mix up the physical and the ethereal, although what was coming--the abduction events of the 1960s-1908s--was far more nefarious. Howard and her comperes faded away into a benign past, overshadowed by the horrors of more modern abduction.
