'Ashtar Command' (or 'Ashtar Galactic Command') is claimed to be an
extraterrestrial organization associated with and promoted by
New Age believers and contactees, including
George Van Tassel[1] and others.
The
channelled entity
Ashtar Sheran is the purported leader of of the Command. People receive this name through channelling (or in
dreams). Originally, the
singular ''Ashtar'' transitioned to the
collective ''Ashtar Command'' by channeller
Robert Short.
[2] Two of the most prolific channellers publish the messages they receive under the adopted names ''
Tuella'' and ''
Tuieta'' which, in their version of the UFO
pantheon, the Ashtar Command consists of several named beings with distinctly defined roles.

Sananda Maitreya is from an organization known as "the Ashtar Command" dating from the
1950s that claims links to extraterrestrial life. Sananda Maitreya is a "Master of the
Great White Brotherhood", who is said to be the
incarnation (or
avatar) of the
soul of
Jesus Christ.
History
In
1977,
Vrillon, a purported entity of the ''Ashtar Galactic Command'', interrupted a British
Independent Television News (ITN) broadcast for approximately 6 minutes.
[4] In this transmission, it demanded that all weapons used by human beings to be laid down and peace must be restored. However, the ITN are unable to identify the signal's exact source.
In
August 19,
2004 Henry David Stites channelled Ashtar Sheran to receive a transmission, of which several starships from the Ashtar Command and the Galactic Federation entered their final resting positions in preparation for the forthcoming Declaration of Cosmic Freedom.
