Andrew P. Tomas or Alfred Tomas (born A. Boncza-Tomaszewski 1906 Saint Petersburg – 2001) was an Australian author. Tomas was born in St Petersburg, Russia in 1906, from where the family moved to Helsinki in 1911, where his father served as a naval officer. With the independence of Finland, Tomas' father was posted to China, where he spent the next 21 years until the Chinese Communist Revolution, following which the family moved to the United States. Tomas spent the rest of his life in Australia as a UFO-researcher, and was also a freemason. Tomas fluently spoke and wrote in (at least) Russian, English and French. His works have been translated into over 60 languages. During his lifetime, Tomas published at least eight books. The rarest of his published works is probably his 1950 work on astrology and tarot cards, Signs, stars and seers; An experiment in historical prediction.
The subject matter of Tomas' works is similar to those of Erich von Däniken, but Tomas wrote on these topics decades before Däniken in his 1935 book The Planetary Doctrine.
