The Ashtar Galactic Command (or Ashtar Command) is believed to be an extraterrestrial organization according to certain contactees, New Age believers and channellers but is more widely reported as a hoax as it was first mentioned as part of the Vrillon radio broadcast. 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.
