Valiant Thor is the subject of a truly unbelievable story. We mean it. Tim doesn’t even buy this one. Here’s the story. Valiant Thor, or Val as his friends called him, was a humanoid alien living in an apartment inside the Pentagon. Val had a tight-knit relationship with President Eisenhower and was passionate about ending the possibility of nuclear war. Like many Aliens who have come to earth, Val had a goal for humanity, and he used the existing power structures to see it through. Thanks to his human-like appearance, Val was thought to be nothing more than an advisor to Eisenhower. Crazy story, but it does have a shred of believability because many high-ranking government officials speak of him as if he really was there. This is a story that would be revolutionary if it were true. This is the story of Valiant Thor.
A Visitor at the Pentagon
On March 16, 1957, a strange craft landed in a farmer’s field in Alexandria, Virginia. Local police arrived on the scene with guns drawn, expecting the worst. They were surprised to find what appeared to be an unarmed man stepping out of the craft. They were even more surprised when the man asked to speak with the President telepathically. It must have convinced them, so they immediately took him to the pentagon. Over the next few days, the visitor would receive his meeting with the President and a fully furnished apartment deep within the pentagon.
The Mission of Valiant Thor
According to Valiant Thor, he was sent here by a galactic council to convince humanity to shy away from their use of nuclear weapons. Val, and his group of alien assistants, hailed from the nearby planet of Venus. These aliens were humanoid in appearance with the single discrepancy of six fingers on each hand.
Val convinced President Eisenhower to create a council against the use of nuclear weapons. However, the committee was repeatedly blocked by members of the CIA and DOD. When it became clear that the office of the President could not deliver the results for which he came, Val turned to evangelist Frank Stranges.
Aliens and the Faith
Stranges had long been a proponent of aliens and fascinated with the evidence for alien interactions with humanity in the Bible. He had just written a book about an angelic encounter in the book of Ezekiel when he met Valiant Thor. Val taught Stranges about the validity of some theories and about what God thought of humanity. Quickly Frank Stranges was campaigning for Val. It appeared that since the alien couldn’t use Eisenhower for his purposes, he would choose to use an author instead.
Conclusion
It truly is an exciting story. Unfortunately, a story might be all it is. The critical resource for this story is the book written by Frank Stranges. Even though some government officials have referenced Valiant Thor in passing, there is no evidence that the claims made in Stranges’s book are legitimate. Regardless, it’s a fun story with a few other twists and turns. To hear more of it, check out this episode of Things I Learned Last Night.
