00:00:07,220 --> 00:00:04,660
greetings citizens and welcome to

[Music]

4
00:00:32,580 --> 00:00:30,349
I'm Jason McClellan thanks for hanging

5
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:32,590
out with me we're in the middle of May

6
00:00:38,889 --> 00:00:35,090
summer is right around the corner and

7
00:00:42,069 --> 00:00:38,899
that means we are in the heart of UFO

8
00:00:44,049 --> 00:00:42,079
conference season so I thought I'd take

9
00:00:46,750 --> 00:00:44,059
some time today to highlight a few of

10
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:46,760
the upcoming UFO related events so you

11
00:00:50,780 --> 00:00:48,650
can start planning out your UFO

12
00:00:55,530 --> 00:00:50,790
escapades for the next few months I

13
00:01:02,049 --> 00:00:58,960
don't know about you but I think UFO

14
00:01:04,869 --> 00:01:02,059
conferences are pretty fun if you've

15
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:04,879
never been to a UFO conference they

16
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:08,090
aren't all the same some are structured

17
00:01:13,450 --> 00:01:10,310
in more of their traditional educational

18
00:01:16,510 --> 00:01:13,460
conference format where the focus is on

19
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:16,520
lectures others are more like festivals

20
00:01:22,060 --> 00:01:19,130
with more of a light-hearted fun

21
00:01:24,940 --> 00:01:22,070
atmosphere as you may have heard me

22
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:24,950
state before my greatest enjoyment of

23
00:01:30,340 --> 00:01:27,650
UFO conferences and other related events

24
00:01:32,770 --> 00:01:30,350
doesn't come necessarily from the

25
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:32,780
lectures or other programming on the

26
00:01:38,470 --> 00:01:35,810
schedule for me it's all about the

27
00:01:41,620 --> 00:01:38,480
social element seeing so many friends

28
00:01:44,649 --> 00:01:41,630
and colleagues in one place and getting

29
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:44,659
to meet new people to all in an

30
00:01:50,950 --> 00:01:46,729
interesting setting filled with people

31
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:50,960
who share common interests let's run

32
00:01:57,260 --> 00:01:52,970

33
00:02:02,580 --> 00:02:00,150

Oregon the home of the famous Trent UFO

37
00:02:12,990 --> 00:02:10,270
photos but as the name of the event

38
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:13,000
explains this is a festival not a

39
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:15,490
conference it's not confined to the

40
00:02:19,650 --> 00:02:17,650

Palm Springs California at the

Renaissance Indian Wells Resort & Spa

66
00:03:32,190 --> 00:03:29,470
this is a massive event and it's the

67
00:03:34,650 --> 00:03:32,200
second consecutive year of the new feel

68
00:03:37,490 --> 00:03:34,660
to this event they used to advertise

69
00:03:40,470 --> 00:03:37,500
this thing as the Woodstock of UFOs

70
00:03:41,850 --> 00:03:40,480
because it was held in Joshua Tree out

71
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:41,860
in the middle of the desert

72
00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:44,530
you have people camping in tents it was

73
00:03:50,130 --> 00:03:47,920
very hippie and very dirty some people

74
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:50,140
loved it others not so much

75
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:52,930
but last year the organizers moved the

76
00:03:59,310 --> 00:03:55,330
event to a resort and that's where it is

77
00:04:02,580 --> 00:03:59,320
again this year there are so many

78
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:02,590
speakers at this thing more than 65 the

79
00:04:09,300 --> 00:04:06,010
last time I counted now this is just my

80
00:04:09,940 --> 00:04:09,310
personal opinion but I think that this

81
00:04:12,250 --> 00:04:09,950
conference

82
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:12,260
typically caters to the pretty far out

83
00:04:17,860 --> 00:04:14,930
there crowd people who believe some of

84
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:17,870
the wildest stuff and blindly believe

85
00:04:21,970 --> 00:04:19,730
some of the loudest people spreading

86
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:21,980
some of the wildest stuff with little to

87
00:04:27,250 --> 00:04:24,410
no evidence to back it up that being

88
00:04:29,230 --> 00:04:27,260
said there are always plenty of not so

89
00:04:32,409 --> 00:04:29,240
far out there people who speak at this

90
00:04:34,990 --> 00:04:32,419
event regardless of this issue I mean I

91
00:04:37,330 --> 00:04:35,000
can't illustrate it better than pointing

92
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:37,340
out that jacques ballet is at the same

93
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:39,530
event as david wilcock and michael horn

94
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:41,930
but hey I know people have different

95
00:04:45,940 --> 00:04:44,450
interests different beliefs and we all

96
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:45,950
individually find certain information

97
00:04:48,659 --> 00:04:48,050
and certain people more believable than

98
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:48,669
others

99
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:51,410
contact in the desert has a broad mix

100
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:53,930
for sure this year's lineup includes

101
00:04:59,080 --> 00:04:55,970
