Gabriel Green (November 11, 1924 – September 8, 2001) was an American 1950s UFO contactee who claimed contact with extraterrestrials. Green was a write-in United States presidential candidate in 1960 and 1972.^[1][2]

Green claimed to have graduated with a PhD in physics from UC Berkeley in 1953, and to have made several important contributions to the Standard Model of elementary particles, but Berkeley has no record of his attendance, and his actual educational background seems to have been acquired at Woodbury Business College in Los Angeles. For much of his life he worked as a photographer for the Los Angeles school system. Green is among the well-known 1950s UFO contactees – individuals who claimed to have met and talked with friendly humanoid Space Brothers from other worlds, and to have ridden in their spacecraft, or visited their planets.

He founded the California-based Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America, Inc. in 1957, approximately at the same time he announced he had had a meeting with flying saucer crewmen from the hitherto unknown planet Korendor, orbiting the triple star Alpha Centauri. It has also been claimed that Korendor is orbiting the star Korena.^[3] Like George Adamski and several other contactees of the period, he said he was able to maintain continual telepathic links with the wise and helpful extraterrestrials he had met. In his 1960 run for US president, he claimed to represent the Universal Flying Saucer Party, and to base his political philosophy on "United World Universal Economics." He also ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in 1962 in California, claiming to have accumulated over 171,000 votes.

In 1967 he published his only book, Let's Face Facts about Flying Saucers. In 1972 he ran again, this time in Iowa, for US president, collecting less than 200 votes. Like most, if not all of the 1950s contactees, Green was evidently far more interested in New Age and Theosophical topics such as reincarnation, channelling, Spiritualism and psychic phenomena than he was in being a prophet expounding wisdom supposedly acquired from friendly space-alien contacts. Again, like most of the other contactees, he eventually dropped out of sight, moving to the vicinity of Yucca Valley, California after his last run for president. Thereafter, little was heard of him until his death in September, 2001.
