Disambiguation: George Hunt Williamson (1926–1986), also known as Brother Philip and Michael D'Obenovic. Not to be confused with other military or intelligence officers of similar name. This is the prominent UFO contactee and metaphysical author associated with the 1950s flying saucer movement.

George Hunt Williamson (December 9, 1926 – January 1986) was an American metaphysical teacher, UFO contactee, author, and bishop who became prominent in the 1950s flying saucer movement. A student of archaeology and anthropology, Williamson claimed to receive communications from extraterrestrials through automatic writing and Ouija board sessions beginning in 1952, which formed the basis of his 1954 book "The Saucers Speak!" He was a close associate of fellow contactee George Adamski and participated in alleged encounters with extraterrestrials. Williamson authored multiple books on UFOs and ancient mysteries, notably bringing attention to Peru's Nazca Lines as potential extraterrestrial artifacts. In 1969, he legally changed his name to Michael D'Obenovic and later became ordained and consecrated as a bishop in independent Orthodox churches. As a public figure making UFO contact claims, Williamson would have been of investigative interest to U.S. military and intelligence agencies evaluating the broader UFO phenomenon during the Cold War era.
