The Ashtar Galactic Command (or Ashtar Command) is believed to be an extraterrestrial entity according to certain contactees, New Age believers and channellers, including American Ufologist George Van Tassel. According to accounts by such believers, the Command consists of several named beings with distinctly defined roles.

Originally, a single being referred to as Ashtar was described by channeller Robert Short, but later accounts transitioned to the collective Ashtar Command. Two of the most prolific channellers publish the messages they claim to have received from the Command under the adopted names Tuella and Tuieta.

History

In 1977, UHF audio broadcasts from the Hannington transmitter of the regional ITV station, Southern Television, were interrupted by a voice speaking over the nightly edition of Independent Television News (ITN) for approximately 6 minutes. The voice announced itself as Vrillon, a representative of Ashtar Galactic Command and spoke about issues regarding mankind and its spirituality, demanding that all weapons used by human beings be laid down and peace restored. The interruption affected approximately 100,000 viewers in the Hampshire and Berkshire area. No responsible party has ever been found.

On August 19, 2004, Henry David Stites reported that he had channelled Ashtar Sheran, stating that several starships from the Ashtar Command entered their final resting positions in preparation for a forthcoming Declaration of Cosmic Freedom.

Ashtar Sheran

Ashtar Sheran is the name given to the reported leader of Ashtar Command, a benevolent being who is reported to spread messages of peace amongst mankind to prepare it to enter the Aquarian Age. The figure of Ashtar was most notably promoted by George Van Tassel and European contactee, Herbert Victor Speer.

We're assuming it was rather a sick hoax. We can't imagine how it was done, but it appears that someone must have managed to transmit a signal over ours. The equipment used would need to be fairly sophisticated and expensive."
