Ashtar (sometimes called Ashtar Sheran) is the name given to an extraterrestrial being or group of beings that a number of people claim to have channeled.
UFO contactee George Van Tassel was the first to claim to receive an Ashtar message in 1952.[1][2][3][4]
Since then, experiences involving Ashtar have been claimed to occur in many contexts. The Ashtar movement is studied by academics as a prominent form of UFO religion.
After the introduction of Ashtar by Van Tassel, other mediums began to claim contact. The most widely publicized of these messages were met with failure when they predicted civilizations flourishing on the other planets and an imminent landing of space ships on Earth.[5] At one point, according to Helland, dozens of people were claiming contact with Ashtar and presenting conflicting messages.[6][7]
Due to his common depiction as a humanoid with blond hair and European features, Ashtar may be considered a Nordic alien.[8][9]
