being here so see you welcome to the

3
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:18,860
we made it we made it we made the Ozark

4
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:21,050
Mountain UFO conference is the oldest

5
00:01:28,670 --> 00:01:24,410
UFO conference in the country started in

6
00:01:31,610 --> 00:01:28,680
1988 by Lou Farish and when it started

7
00:01:35,180 --> 00:01:31,620
it had like 50 people that just came to

8
00:01:36,830 --> 00:01:35,190
share information and that's how it

9
00:01:39,740 --> 00:01:36,840
began they were just sharing what they

10
00:01:42,860 --> 00:01:39,750
found at that time and they just came

11
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:42,870
back here to year with what they had at

12
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:44,640
that time remember back in those days we

13
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:46,290
didn't have a lot of fancy equipment or

14
00:01:51,590 --> 00:01:48,090
anything so they were just coming back

15
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:51,600
each year it was just people that you

16
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:54,690
know this was UFOs they were just they

17
00:02:00,230 --> 00:01:57,690
had this love of this phenomenon and

18
00:02:03,290 --> 00:02:00,240
wanted to know more information so

19
00:02:04,580 --> 00:02:03,300
that's how it started just we want we

20
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:04,590
want the government to give us more

21
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:05,970
information really some things never

22
00:02:10,609 --> 00:02:07,890
change so then that's always been the

23
00:02:12,950 --> 00:02:10,619
ongoing controversy whatever you know

24
00:02:16,430 --> 00:02:12,960
will they ever tell us something we want

25
00:02:18,830 --> 00:02:16,440
to know that's how it started and it

26
00:02:20,630 --> 00:02:18,840
just kept going it's always been the

27
00:02:23,420 --> 00:02:20,640
second week in april in eureka springs

28
00:02:24,830 --> 00:02:23,430

29
00:02:29,570 --> 00:02:24,840
of the Ozarks here in Eureka Springs

30
00:02:31,699 --> 00:02:29,580
Arkansas originally it started with you

31
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:31,709
know before they're always just trying

32
00:02:35,630 --> 00:02:33,330
do you think they're real what do you

33
00:02:39,979 --> 00:02:35,640
think it is woody what's going on and

34
00:02:41,930 --> 00:02:39,989
now it's expanded from that too you know

35
00:02:45,380 --> 00:02:41,940
because it was always research and the

36
00:02:48,970 --> 00:02:45,390
UFO investigations and to now it's even

37
00:02:52,190 --> 00:02:48,980

civilizations just to name a few of the

40
00:02:58,340 --> 00:02:56,580
subjects so and we keep broadening and

41
00:03:01,220 --> 00:02:58,350

42
00:03:15,380 --> 00:03:01,230
spiritual and metaphysical subjects

43
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:18,559
