Then early models for the night sky will be looked at as well as basic observation over 1,000 years building our knowledge of the solar system. The Age of Aquarius - For thousands of years man has observed the night sky weaving myths and star patterns into a pantheon of characters visible in the night sky. Greek and other observers noted motions of the “fixed” stars over long periods of time (approximately 1% of backward motion in 72 years); a precession of the constellations. In antiquity, as each constellation of the zodiac moved through the vernal equinox, a new “Age” of approximately 2,000 years was said to occur. The age of Taurus during the Bronze age, Aries during the rise of Greece and Rome and the Pisces during the Christian era. We are now entering the Age of Aquarius. BEAT THE DEADLINE!

Carey Thomas J. Carey, a native Philadelphian, holds degrees from Temple University (B.S. in Business Administration) and California State University, Sacramento (M.A. in Anthropology), and also attended the University of Toronto’s Ph.D. Programme in Anthropology. An Air Force veteran who held a TOP SECRET/CRYPTO clearance, Tom is now a retired Philadelphia area businessman. He has been a Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) State Section Director for Southeastern Pennsylvania from 1986 to 2001, a Special Investigator for the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) from 1991 to 2001, and a member of the CUFOS board of directors from 1997 to 2001. Tom began investigating aspects of the Roswell Incident in 1991 for the Roswell investigative team of Kevin Randle and Don Schmitt, and since 1998 has teamed exclusively with Don Schmitt to continue a proactive investigation of the case. Tom has authored or coauthored more than 40 published articles about the Roswell events of 1947, and has contributed to a number of books on the subject as well. He has appeared as a guest on many radio and TV shows throughout the country, including Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell and George Noory, Fox and Friends, Comcast Network Friends and Larry King Live! and has contributed to a number of Roswell-related documentaries, on-screen and behind the scenes. Tom was a consultant and interviewee on the highly acclaimed and rated 2002, two-hour SyFy Channel documentary, The Roswell Crash: Startling New Evidence, the History Channel’s Conspiracy Theory, the Travel Channel’s Weird Travels – Roswell, the SyFy Channel’s SyFy Investigates and the History Channel’s, The UFO Hunters. He was also a featured interviewee on the 20th Century Fox, Golden Anniversary, re-release DVD of the 1951 sci-fi classic, The Day the Earth Stood Still. His 2007 book, co-authored with Don Schmitt, Witness to Roswell: Unmasking the 60-Year Cover-Up, was the #1 best-selling UFO book in the world in 2007-2008. Its sequel, Witness to Roswell: Unmasking the Government’s Biggest Cover-Up, published 2009, remains a best seller. Both books are considered to be the best books ever written about the “Roswell Incident.” A motion picture, based upon these books, titled Majic Men, is currently in pre-production, as is a TV mini-series. A recent book about the secret history of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio titled Inside the Real Area 51, also co-authored with Don Schmitt and released in the fall of 2013, reached #1 on Amazon’s “Astronomy & Space Science” category and was also in its “Top 100 Books of the Year” in that category for 2013. Another book about Roswell, The Children of Roswell, is in preparation for a mid-2015 release, and a final Roswell book, Roswell: the Verdict of History, is due for a late 2015 or early 2016 release. Tom and his wife Doreen have two grown children and reside in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania. Stanton T. Friedman Nuclear Physicist-Author-Lecturer Stanton T. Friedman received his BSc. and MSc. Degrees in physics from the University of Chicago in 1955 and 1956. He was employed for 14 years as a nuclear physicist by such companies as GE, GM, Westinghouse Astronuclear Laboratory, TRW Systems, Aerojet General Nucleonics, and McDonnell-Douglas Astronautics working in such highly advanced, classified, eventually cancelled programs as nuclear aircraft, fission and fusion rockets, and various compact nuclear power-plants for space and terrestrial applications. He became interested in UFOs in 1958, and since 1967 has lectured about them at more than 600 colleges and 100 professional groups in all 50 U.S. states, all 10 Canadian provinces and 18 other countries in addition to various nuclear consulting efforts. He has only had 11 hecklers of which 2 were drunk. He has published more than 90 UFO papers and has appeared on hundreds of radio and TV programs including on Larry King in 1997, 2007 and twice in 2008, and many documentaries. He is the original civilian investigator of the Roswell Incident and co-authored “Crash at Corona: The Definitive Study of the Roswell Incident”. TOP SECRET/MAJIC his controversial book about the Majestic 12 group, established in 1947 to deal with alien technology, was published in 1996 and went through 6 printings. An expanded new edition was published in 2005. Stan was presented with a Lifetime UFO Achievement Award in Leeds, England, in 2002, by UFO Magazine of the UK. He is co-author with Kathleen Marden (Betty Hill’s niece) of a book in 2007: “Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience”. The City of Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, declared August 27, 2007, Stanton Friedman Day. His book “Flying Saucers and Science” was published in June, 2008, and is in its 4th printing. His newest book “Science Was Wrong: Startling Truths about Cures, Theories, and Inventions ‘They’ Declared Impossible” with Kathleen Marden, was published in June, 2010. On July 2, 2010, he was inducted into the Roswell, New Mexico, UFO Hall of Fame for his long term investigative efforts on that important case. Both TOP SECRET/MAJIC and “Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience” have been optioned for movies by Stellar Productions of Hollywood. He has provided written testimony to Congressional Hearings, appeared twice at the UN, and been a pioneer in many aspects of ufology including Roswell, Majestic 12, The Betty Hill-Marjorie Fish star map work, analysis of the Delphos, Kansas, physical trace case, crashed saucers, flying saucer technology, and challenges to the S.E.T.I. (Silly Effort To Investigate) cultists. He has spoken at more MUFON Symposia than anyone else. Stanton T. Friedman is a dual citizen of the USA and Canada and lives at 79 Pembroke Crescent, Fredericton, NB, Canada E3B 2V1. 506-457-0232. [email protected] www.stantonfriedman.com Patty Greer Patty Greer is one of the most devoted Crop Circle film maker/ researchers today. She produced 6 documentary films in record time that received 6 prestigious awards. With no experience in film making or UFOlogy whatsoever she became a “Contactee Experiencer” in a 2007 UK Crop Circle. Everything in her life changed drastically that day, and she has since become a voice for the “Circlemakers.” Greer has visited more than 100 English Crop Circles personally and been enthralled with the phenomenon since 2006, returning in 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2014. Surely one of the greatest wonders of the world, Crop Circles have mystified everyone! Acres of grain are seamlessly swirled down into precise pictograms and coded messages about human evolution. Greer moved swiftly onto the UFO speaking circuit and received a standing ovation at the 2014 International UFO Congress Convention for her presentation on Crop Circles that featured more than 300 photos in 75 minutes. As Greer shares her vast library of Crop Circle images spanning the past 30 years, very few questions are left unanswered. Taking the study into a new realm of possibilities Greer exposes daunting clips from her films as evidence that plasma vortices and ET Balls of Light are involved in the creation of many Crop Circles. Communications are coming from parallel realities using a language we all understand: Art and Math. Delivering the straight scoop from the epicenter of the Crop Circle phenomenon (Wiltshire England) her data brings metaphysics, ET technologies and science together to offer a clear understanding of this astounding phenomenon! Coming out of the earth in spinning plasma vorticies with specific frequencies, they unite with frequencies of mass human intelligence and other world (ET) frequencies. When these subtle energies spin together to perfection * the intended Crop Circle message is delivered within seconds! Crop Circles appear to be the first physical manifestation of collective ET/Earth/Human Consciousness communication ever. It’s time we learn to listen. PBS affiliate CPT12 TV screened Patty Greer’s last 2 new movies more than 25 times last year. Films include: “Crop Circle Update – The Wake Up Call” and her newest movie, “The SHIFT Has Hit The Fan.” What great exposure for disclosure! Her passion is unrelenting and her presentations offer deep insight into the Crop Circles and their messages for humanity. If you’re a believer be prepared to be captivated. If you’re a skeptic be prepared to be converted! http://www.PattyGreer.net Larry Holcombe Larry Holcombe’s s introduction into the world of Ufology came in the late 1950’s after reading two of Major Donald Keyhoe’s books; Flying Saucers are Real and Flying Saucers from Outer Space. A year later, after watching Keyhoe debate an Air Force officer on the old Armstrong Circle Theater, and seeing Keyhoe being censored when he deviated from the prepared script the Air Force forced on the show’s producers, Larry was convinced the Air Force was covering up knowledge of UFO’s. Those events started a fifty plus year avocation into the study and research of the UFO phenomenon. In 2006 he took early retirement and started his first novel, The Great River Disclosure, a thriller based on the government cover-up of an extraterrestrial presence visiting earth was released in 2009. His second novel in the Disclosure Trilogy, Satan’s Angel, was released in 2013 in eBook format. In researching background for the novels he became intrigued by a 1970’s NBC-TV documentary, UFOS: Past, Present & Future. The documentary endorsed the theory that some UFO’s were extraterrestrial and astonishingly the documentary seemed to have the support of the government. Larry was able to locate the writer/ co-producer of the documentary, Bob Emenegger, and Emenegger provided him with some remarkable background information on the making of the documentary that involved the Nixon Administration. From this background the idea of a work of non-fiction to shape built around the documentary, the Nixon Administration, and the involvement of all modern presidents in the UFO phenomenon. A detailed book proposal was developed and in the fall of 2012 St. Martin’s Press purchased The Presidents and UFOs: A Secret History from FDR to Obama. Noted nuclear physicist and lecturer, Stanton T. Friedman, wrote the books foreword. Other noted UFOlogists contributed to the book. Larry has spoken to a number of UFO research groups and state MUFON chapters. He has had a number of radio and other media interviews including The Paracast, Fringe Radio Show, Fox Radio and Open Minds UFO Radio. Captain Ken Hudnall Ken Hudnall is a former military officer who has spent the last thirty years researching various aspects of the UFO mystery as well as the paranormal in general. Host of his own internet radio talk show for over 20 years; he has written over 60 books on topics ranging from ghosts, lost treasures, UFOs and conspiracies. Frank Kimbler Frank Kimbler is an Assistant Professor of the Earth Science at the New Mexico Military Institute and a xenoarchaeologist (a scientists who hunts alien artifacts, or at least tries to). He has worked as a professional geologist for almost 30 years and has taught school for almost 1/2 of that time. He has worked as an oceanographer for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and as a mining engineer for the State of Arizona. He moved to New Mexico in 2009 after accepting a teaching position at the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell. Shortly after moving to Roswell he took a keen interest in the story behind the Roswell UFO incident. His research has resulted in the discovery of a number of physical artifacts from the Roswell UFO debris field area including metallic fragments, bakelite plastic like material, military buttons and a 50-caliber bullet (WW2 era ?). His research has been featured on a several National Geographic TV programs, the History Channel, and numerous Internet talk shows about UFO’s. He does not like secrets and is dedicated to discovering answers and using good science to prove that we are not alone in the universe. Frank Kimbler brings credibility to the science of ufology by using remote sensing, sophisticated radiation detecting equipment, and electronic metal detectors to search for artifacts. Given the opportunity he would welcome the idea of having a S.W.A.T. team of good researchers to investigate the global UFO phenomena and the hunt for alien artifacts. Sharon King Sharon King has been an early childhood Teacher, Program Coordinator & a Director in child care centers for over 26 years. She has always liked doing arts and crafts and working with children. Over the years she has made many fun activities to share with children. Her book Junior Alien Zone is a fun and interesting arts and crafts, and activity book about Aliens which can be used in many different ways. Sharon never thought she would write a children book and then it happened. In the summer of 2004, she and her husband took their niece and family on vacation to Roswell, NM. While they were there, they learned about the UFO Festival held every July. Sharon had so many ideas, she started to write them all down and the rest is history…a book was born. Thirty three days after Junior Alien Zone was published, she had her first book signing. It took place at the Roswalien Experience 2009 Festival in the International UFO Museum & Research Center in Roswell, New Mexico. The book received a lot of attention and positive exposure. Sharon’s new book titled “Oops Was Bullied?” tells the tale of two beings – a wee extraterrestrial named Oops and a young Earth girl – who become friends when Oops crashes to Earth. They couldn’t be more different: different languages, different points of view, different backgrounds, all packed into two very different little bodies. In fact, it’s those differences that lead to a harsh reality for tiny Oops, who is bullied because he’s not like others. Written for children from preschool age through grade five, the juvenile fiction, “Oops Was Bullied?” is a fun and easy read that teaches children valuable lessons about the consequences of bullying through the eyes of her vibrant and lovable characters. Sharon lives in Amarillo, Texas, with her husband of 43 years, Charles. They have three adult children, four grandchildren, one great-grandchild, and two dogs. Tom Kirkbride Tom Kirkbride grew up in Southern California, where he was a lifeguard on the beaches of LaJolla…thus his Gamadin saga begins. His five-book series is a thrill-packed, character driven adventure about a couple surfers saving the Galaxy. In 2012 his entire Series was selected for the Renaissance Accelerated Reader program for schools nationwide. This is the sixth year in a row Tom has had the honor to speak at Roswell UFO Festival. He also talks about writing to classrooms, writers groups, and book clubs all over the country. Contact info: www. GAMADIN.com. Jesse Marcel III Jesse Marcel is a freelance writer, author, and film producer. He was born in Southern California to a modest military family, eventually growing up in the Rocky Mountains of Western Montana. He attended local universities and obtained degrees in Finance and Economics, along with credits in advanced Mathematics and Aerospace Engineering. As a child, his hobbies ranged from snow skiing and camping out in the front yard to the not-so-well-thought-out mission to create rocket fuel; a combination of zinc and sulfur that, when mixed in just the right proportions, would singe a few eyebrows and almost burn down the garage! Evenings were spent looking through a large telescope that his father built by hand, or watching Star Trek, if the skies were cloudy. He was indoctrinated early into his grandfather’s legacy, not only as his namesake, but as his protégé. He learned of an amazing tale where his grandfather was part of the discovery of a spacecraft that, in his words, “Was not made by human hands.” As the summers of his youth unfolded, the details of the story intensified as he enjoyed the many hours spent with his grandfather fishing on a bayou that ran behind their house in Southern Louisiana. After a short, two-decade detour in investment banking, Jesse returned to his roots to pick up his grandfather’s and father’s crusade. His latest efforts include the book “Alien Crash at Roswell”, a documentary by the same name, an upcoming television series “Paranormal Justice” and a feature film called “Grail”. Outside of the film industry Jesse has been busy engineering a personal air vehicle or “flying car” where he has received international recognition for his application of emergent technologies and design. You can follow him at his Air-Vehicle site: airbornemotors.com and personal site: jessemarcel.com Denice Marcel Denice Marcel recently accepted the role of State Section Director MUFON Los Angeles. She welcomed the position knowing this could help bring awareness and education to the public about UFO’s and to help expose the blanket of secrecy our government imposed days after the “The Roswell Incident” occurred. Denice, the granddaughter of U.S. Army Lt. Col. (Ret.) Jesse Marcel Sr., learned at a very young age of her grandfather’s participation in the recovery of a UFO wreckage outside Roswell, New Mexico in July of 1947. It was also at this time Denice learned her grandfather brought home some of the material that he collected to show her grandmother, Viaud and her father, Dr. Jesse Marcel Jr., Col. USA (Ret.) Late in the night, the three of them examined the debris on their kitchen floor. It was Jesse Marcel Jr., then an eleven year old boy, who would discover what he described as an I-beam with indecipherable writing. When Jesse Marcel Sr. was later asked of the strange materials they saw he would describe it as, “It was not of this earth”, these words would forever change Roswell history. The events of that evening resulted in her father’s undertaking, to make certain that his participation in the Roswell Incident be shared with everyone who wanted to know the truth. As he would often say “I know what I saw”! This would lead to many discussions about Roswell, UFOs, alien life, cover-ups and a quest for the truth. Even though she didn’t practice hypnotherapy she did receive her hypnotherapist certification from the California Hypnosis Motivation Institute, the only such accredited institution in the United States. In January of 1997 she accompanied her father and Kent Jeffries for a hypnosis session that Dr. Neil Hibler would conduct on her father over the course of three days. Dr. Hibler was one of the world’s leading experts who used hypnotic regressions for forensic purposes. The Roswell incident has offered Denice many interesting experiences, aside from the hypnosis sessions, she accompanied Don Schmitt and Tom Carey on an investigation to General Exxon’s retirement home for an interview, has done radio interviews alongside her father, participated in lectures on the subject and she even had a small role in the 1994 movie “Roswell”. She also sat with her father as a witness in the 2013 Citizen hearings on Disclosure, speaking on the The Roswell Report. Her most memorable moment, however, was to have had the chance to share with her father his final visit to the debris field, the kitchen of his childhood home from where he first saw the strange material and his final lecture at the Roswell Festival 2013. The oral tradition has now been passed down to his children who will also ensure that the Roswell Incident goes down in history as one of the most memorable events to have happened in UFO history. She currently has a new book in the works based on her grandfather and her family’s experiences. Kathleen Marden Kathleen Marden is known around the world as an alien abduction/ET contact scholar, researcher, author and lecturer. Her educational background in the social sciences has shaped her effort to gain an understanding of the ET contact phenomena. Extensive research and investigation has convinced her that ET races are performing longitudinal studies on the human population. However, it is being covered up due to national security concerns. Her interest in UFOs dates back to 1961, when her aunt, Betty Hill phoned her nearby home to report that she and Barney had encountered a flying saucer in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. A primary witness to the evidence of the UFO encounter and the aftermath, Kathleen has intimate knowledge of the Hill’s biographical histories, investigation files, and scientific interest in their sensational experience. One scientific experiment may have led to her personal memories of contact. She is associated with the Mutual UFO Network, as its Director of Abduction Research and the Foundation for Research of Extraterrestrial Encounters, as an advisory board member and consultant to its research subcommittee. She is the recipient of MUFON’s 2012 “Ufologist” of the Year award. Kathleen has authored three books, Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience, and Science was Wrong, with nuclear physicist/ scientific ufologist Stanton T. Friedman, and The Alien Abduction Files, with Denise Stoner, and essays in several additional books. She spearheaded an extensive research project, with Denise Stoner, to identify little known commonalities among experiencers, in 2012. Her articles have been published in the MUFON UFO Journal, Open Minds, Alternate Perceptions and FATE magazines and on several websites. Kathy has appeared in television and radio programs in the US, Canada, Australia and the UK, and has lectured throughout the United States.

BOSTON GLOBE FEB. 23rd 2015 Thom will make public the details of the families UFO/Off-world Encounters. He will detail how and why their case became the 1st encounter officially inducted by a Massachusetts Township and Historical Society. The incidents’ involving the Reed’s made local news on WSBS Radio in the 1960’s. The incident and/or Disk shaped craft that was seen descending over the Reed farm in 1969, was issued a HYNEK classification; during the final months of Project Blue Book. Attorney Robert Bletchman, now the Reeds legally retained Attorney would mention their 1960’s encounter in support of 33/426, at the United Nations. Bletchman working in conjunction with Mohammad Ramadan, the President of the Parapsychology Society at the United Nations organized a symposium on the UFO subject in 1992. Thom’s father, Attorney Howard Reed would lose his life under questionable circumstances, on that same day. Detective Steve White an officer with over 30 years of law enforcement experience, investigated the Reed case. White did document radioactive hot spots and magnetic anomalies associated with the encounter. The magnetic pull turned a compass needle from a distance of two feet. Officer White would report, “Authentic encounter with an unknown powerful force”. Thom passed his first and only Polygraph test with a score of 99.1%. The test was administered by a veteran police officer at the Department of Defense, Polygraph Institute. It should be noted that this family of professionals have a City Proclamation in their honor, and a commemorative bench in the City Green.

Ronals Regehr Ronald Regehr has been a UFO researcher for more than 50 years. Regehr is a retired aerospace engineer with 36 years of experience at Douglas Aircraft and Aerojet ElectroSystems working in space and space surveillance systems. He is MUFON Director of Documentation and a MUFON research specialist in space satellite technology. Two of his major areas of contribution in UFO research are satellite detection of UFOs and analysis of photos and other data associated with the Roswell case. Aerospace Engineering From 1962 to 1999 Regehr was an engineer with Douglas Aircraft (now Boeing) and Aerojet (now Northrop Grumman). At Douglas he was part of the Saturn/Apollo design team responsible for the electrical interface between stages of the Apollo rocket. Later he developed the requirements for the first US space station, Skylab, working closely with the astronauts, NASA headquarters, and Douglas designers. At Aerojet, Regehr was part of the team that developed specifications for one of our nation’s top spy satellites, the Defense Support Program or DSP. The team developed ground data-processing software and interfaces with other program elements. During his career, he held various security clearances up to the level of top secret Q, and he was frequently called upon to assist government specialists in evaluation of classified programs. UFO Research Regehr first became interested in the UFO phenomena in the mid1950s as a young volunteer for the Ground Observer Corps. Through the years he continued reading everything available on UFOs, and in the mid-1980s he became seriously involved in UFO research when his knowledge of classified data indicated to him the US government was not telling the pubic the truth about UFOs. In particular, based on technical details in the 1976 Iranian UFO case, Regehr became convinced that US spy satellites were detecting UFOs. Between 1988 and 1994 he published a series of articles establishing that this was true, culminating in his April 1994 MUFON Journal article, “Do Spy Satellites See UFOs?” Also in 1994, Regehr made the information available to a national audience as a guest participant in a documentary on the Iranian UFO case on the TV program “Sightings.” In 1998 Regehr published a monograph “How to build a $125 million UFO Detector,” which is an analysis of the technical problems involved in satellite detection of UFOs. Regehr’s Iranian UFO paper, which won 1st prize in MUFON’s 2006 “Best Evidence” contest, combined newly published information (Pratt; Maccabee) with Regehr’s analysis to show that the 1976 event in Iran provides irrefutable evidence of the reality of UFOs. Other research done by Regehr contributed to knowledge about the Roswell case. Regehr’s Feb. 2000 MUFON UFO Journal article “Not Enough ‘Foil’,” shows that the 200-yd. diameter debris field described by Mac Brazel was far too large to have been caused by the impact of a Mogul research balloon. In 1998-2000 Regehr played a key role in bringing to fruition research on the Roswell Ramey office photos carried out by Regehr, Morris, Leveoux, and Johnson. Careful analysis of the photos, rescued from 50 years of obscurity, revealed the times of day the photos were made, that two photographers photographed the debris, that the debris pictured in the photos could not have been that of a Mogul balloon, and even that virtually all of the text of the teletype held by Gen. Ramey was readable. This research, and compelling evidence of just why “Bond” Johnson was able to “scoop” the other Dallas/Fort Worth news media are being compiled in Regehr’s latest book, What? Another Dang Roswell Book! Regehr has been a guest on the television programs “Strange Universe” and “Sightings,” and on the Learning Channel, and a guest on the Art Bell radio program numerous times. He was a speaker at the 2004 Las Vegas Crash/Retrieval conference, on the topic of the Ramey office photos; at the Roswell UFO Festival in 1999 and from 2006 through 2010; at the UFO Friendship Campout at Rachel, Nevada in 1997; at the International UFO Congress in Laughlin, Nevada in 2000; at HUFON (the Houston UFO Network) in 1994; and at MUFON Orange County, Calif. numerous times. He won MUFON’s contest for the Best UFO Case for his work on the Iranian UFO Incident and spoke at the MUFON Symposium. In 2009 Regehr was a featured speaker at the inaugural Galactic Gathering in Denver, CO. He has published articles in the MUFON Journal and UFO Magazine, and he has presented several workshops at the MUFON International Symposia. Regehr is the former State Director of MUFON, Utah, and resigned that post to fill the position of MUFON Director of Documentation where he revised and updated the MUFON Field Investigator’s Manual to bring it up to industry standards and enable electronic access and updates for all MUFON members. Regehr lives in Rimrock, Arizona, where he is enjoying his retirement. He is the father of 3 grown daughters and grandfather of 5 boys. You may contact him at: 435.220.0002 (cell) Ron Regehr P.O.

He was an on-set consultant at Paramount Studios on one episode of the TV series Roswell. The basis of his research and consultation has been the theme of many documentaries including UFO Secrete: The Roswell Crash and two-time British Academy Award winner producer John Purdies’s The Roswell Incident. Schmitt feels that by far his greatest achievement was the Golden Globe Best Picture nominated motion picture Roswell, that was based on the first book Derrel W. Sims Derrel Sims is a licensed private investigator who worked undercover for the CIA during his military service. He claims to have been abducted by aliens from the age of 4 until he was 17, when his contact with evil entities ended violently. From then on, Derrel determined to transform his life role from being the “hunted” to the “hunter” of the alien prey. His determination kicked into overdrive when, years later, he realized the aliens had begun abducting his 5-year-old son. In Derrel’s 40 years of field research, he has drawn on all his investigative, psychological and forensic training to track down evidence of alien activity. This led to Derrel’s ground-breaking discoveries of alien implants being inserted into abductees, perhaps to influence or alter their behavior; and alien fluorescence, a kind of indelible “fingerprint” that the alien leaves behind on an abductee or their surroundings. In 1992, the press dubbed him, “the Alien Hunter,” and the nickname has proven an apt description of Derrel’s mission. Derrel has a unique insight into the alien organization which he believes functions similarly to an intelligence agency. He suspects that the alien uses similar covert techniques to spy on and manipulate humankind as he witnessed when working for the CIA during the Cold War. And just as military/intel operatives might try to brainwash a captured spy or POW, Derrel believes the alien is able to alter an abductee’s perception of their experience. Over the years, he’s put to use his many hypnotherapy certifications to unravel this alien mind control, and says he’s even trained his own Manchurian candidates as warriors in the alien resistance. A coalition of top-secret government, military and intelligence factions are well aware of the alien presence on Earth, claims Derrel, and he says they’re using ‘black ops’ to monitor ET activities. Tactics include unmarked black helicopters and jeeps as well as armed military personnel dressed in civilian clothes that are deployed to UFO hotspots. Derrel has even uncovered witnesses to military shoot-downs of UFOs, done to capture and analyze the exotic technology. Derrel strongly believes that the American people should be told the truth: “Aliens are among us and they are not here for good!” Yvonne Smith Yvonne Smith, C.Ht. is the author of CHOSEN: Recollections of UFO Abductions Through Hypnotherapy and her latest book, Coronado: The President, The Secret Service and Alien Abductions. In the last 24 years, Smith has lectured at national and international conferences, various universities and co-lectured with her mentor, Budd Hopkins, John Mack, M.D. and David Jacobs, Ph.D. Her many television appearances have included the History Channel, MSNBC, Discovery Channel, Encounters, Sightings, The Joan Rivers Show, Montel Williams as well as countless radio shows. In 1992, Smith founded “Close Encounters Research Organization” (CERO), a support group for Abductees and in January 2013, Smith launched “CERO International” whose mission is to “Investigate, Educate and Support” and to recognize and preserve “Abductees Civil Rights” Travis Walton Travis Walton is the subject of the Paramount Studios movie, Fire in the Sky, based on his book of the same name. On November 5, 1975 a group of loggers in the mountains of northeastern Arizona observed a strange, unusually bright light in the sky. One of the men, Travis Walton, recklessly left the safety of their truck to take a closer look. Suddenly as he walked toward the light, Walton was blasted back by a bolt of mysterious energy. His companions fled in fear. When they reported an encounter with a UFO – something they would have considered impossible if they had not witnessed it themselves – the men were suspected of murder. For five days authorities mounted a massive manhunt in search of Walton – or his body. Then Walton reappeared, disoriented and initially unable to tell the whole story of his terrifying encounter. In Fire in the Sky, Walton relates in his own words the best documented account of alien abduction yet recorded, the story of his harrowing ordeal at the hands of silent captors, his return to a disbelieving world of hostile interrogators, exploitative press, and self-styled debunkers. Travis recounts the struggle to get a fair hearing, and confronts his detractors AUSTIN BIKE ZOO ELECTRIC LIGHT PARADE FRIDAY JUNE 3, 2015 Runs from 9th St. to 3rd St An annual crowd favorite.
