Welcome, sentient beings of Earth. Do you ever feel as though you’ve misplaced your keys, your wallet, or perhaps the entire solution to all of your planetary problems? Then you've come to the right place. Tune in for a tale of a man, or at least a being who looked unnervingly like a man, who arrived on Earth with six fingers, no navel, and an IQ so impossibly high it was almost rude.

Meet Valiant Thor, a Venusian diplomat who, in 1957, landed in Alexandria, Virginia, and promptly requested a meeting with the President of the United States. He came not with a death ray, but with a message of peace, offering solutions for everything from nuclear annihilation to environmental destruction. He proposed free energy, universal cures for diseases, and a world without war—a plan so sensible it was, of course, utterly rejected.
