Shari Adamiak
Shari Adamiak (died January 20, 1998) was an American ufologist and key figure in the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI), founded by Dr. Steven Greer. Since meeting Greer in 1991 at a Los Angeles lecture, she served as an indefatigable colleague, true friend, and irreplaceable confidant, instrumental in CSETI's historic achievements in human-initiated extraterrestrial contact (CE-5 protocols). Adamiak participated in field expeditions witnessing UFOs near volcanoes and other sites, and supported efforts to brief Congress on UFO realities through military witnesses. Unfazed by critics and covert opposition, she advocated universal peace with extraterrestrial civilizations. In late 1997, despite battling illness causing paralysis, she joined Greer in Joshua Tree for star-gazing and ET communication. Her dedication advanced citizen diplomacy in UAP research.
