Mitchell, will be the featured speaker among a dozen UFO investigators discussing the latest developments in ufology at the 11th annual international conference on "The UFO Experience" on October 10-11, 1998 at the Holiday Inn in North Haven, Connecticut, USA. The conference will offer a comprehensive look at the UFO phenomenon. Eminent researchers and experiencers from around the U.S. and Europe will present their findings and considered opinions about what UFOs are, where they come from, why they are here, and what the government knows about it and why it is covering up. In February 1971, Mitchell became the sixth man to walk on the moon. He holds a doctorate in aeronautics and astronautics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. On Saturday night, October 11, he will discuss "Alien Presence=97Yes or No?," giving an account of his personal investigations into the existence of extraterrestrial life forms and the evidence for alien visitation to Earth. Other speakers on the program are: Dan Brookes and John Dorazio, Connecticut ufologists who will discuss "UFOs in Connecticut=97A Grassroots Investigation." Brookes and Dorazio are cofounders of the UFO Research and Study Organization (UFORSO), a Connecticut-based public membership group which investigates UFO reports and actively searches for UFOs. Michael Hesemann, a ufologist and cultural anthropologist from Germany, will speak on "UFOs=97The Secret History." His presentation will discuss the government-military involvement with UFOs from the 1940s to the present. Hesemann is coauthor of Beyond Roswell, a recently published investigation of the so-called "alien autopsy" and other aspects of the famed 1947 Roswell, New Mexico, UFO crash and several other crashes which are lesser known. Linda Moulton Howe, M.S., an Emmy-winning television producer who has investigated the phenomenon of animal mutilation and UFOs, will speak on "Glimpses of Other Realities=971998 Update." The author of several documentaries and books on the subject, including Strange Harvest and High Strangeness, Howe lives in Pennsylvania. Philip Imbrogno, M.S., a ufologist and coauthor of Night Siege: The Hudson Valley UFO Mystery, will report on "Contact of the Fifth Kind." He contends there is a silent alien invasion under way and the U.S. government knows of it. He will present evidence to demonstrate his claim. A science educator in New York state, Imbrogno holds a B.S. degree in astronomy, an M.S. in science education and is a Ph.D. candidate. Jack Kewaunee Lapseritis, M.S., author of the just-published book The Psychic Sasquatch: A UFO Connection, will discuss his research into the Sasquatch people, popularly known as Bigfoot, and their relation to UFOs. Lapseritis, who claims to have had 20 years of personal contact with Sasquatch, is a social scientist-anthropologist. He lives in Arizona. Joe Lewels, Ph.D., will discuss "Aliens or Angels: The Controversy Over the God Hypothesis." Dr. Lewels' research with more than 100 abductees leads him to conclude that UFOs and their occupants have been responsible for most, if not all, world religions, and their purpose today is to salvage human DNA before the human species becomes extinct. He was formerly a professor of journalism and mass communications at University of Texas at El Paso. Michael Mannion, a New York City author, will discuss his just-published book, Operation Mindshift, which looks at how public opinion and public perception of the UFO phenomenon is influenced by direct and by stealthy means. Hollywood, television, science and government, including covert government disinformation operations, will be covered. Derrel Sims, an "alien hunter" from Houston, Texas, will present "Medical and Scientific Evidence of Alien Contact" gathered by him over 34 years of research. Slides, videotape and actual physical objects apparently "alien" in nature will be shown, along with a demonstration of Sims' discovery of a fluorescing compound which is found on abductees after physical contact with aliens. Daved Rubien, state director of the Mutual UFO Network for Rhode Island, will speak on "The ETs We Encounter Today." His research with abductees indicates there are many types of ETs beyond the so-called "grays" which are often depicted on television and in film. He will describe them and their activities, as revealed through his abduction research. Robert Wood, Ph.D., a retired aerospace engineer-scientist, will talk about "Cosmic Watergate: New Evidence of Crashed UFOs Recovered by the Government." Dr. Wood has researched a recently leaked 1954 Special Operations Manual used to guide U.S. military personnel in recovery and disposal of UFOs and their occupants. John White, internationally known researcher of paranormal phenomena and author of 15 books, will chair the conference. His books and articles have been published in nine languages. A UFO photo exhibit will also be featured, along with the speakers' books for autographing. Begun in 1987 by John White, "The UFO Experience" is an annual October conference offering a wide-ranging, balanced look at the UFO phenomenon. Presentations are given by eminent investigators and famous UFO contactees and abductees, who share their personal experiences, their research data, and their insights and considered opinions about what UFOs are, where they come from, why they are here. Attendees learn about the range of UFO encounters and theories, how professional investigators conduct their investigations, and how the public should handle UFO sightings for maximum effectiveness in the ongoing search for answers. The proceedings of each year=92s program are available in audiotape and videotape format, and a free brochure is available at the address below which describes the lectures and the speakers. The conference also offers a supportive setting for people to "unburden" themselves if they feel they have had UFO experiences but are afraid to talk about them. People can share their UFO experiences with others who are sympathetic and knowledgeable. The conference offers contact with support groups who can provide ongoing help for those trying to recover from unusual, difficult and often terrifying experiences. Others believe they are "Star People" whose true home is not Earth but some other planet or solar system. Star People likewise find the conference helpful to them. Admission is by registration only. The registration fee is $125 until June 30, $145 until August 30 and $175 thereafter. The fee does not include lodging or meals. To register or for further information, write to Omega Communications, P. O. Box 2051, Cheshire, Connecticut 06410-5051, USA. If space allows at conference time, admission will be permitted at $90 per day or $20 per event. ###
