~~~MYSTERIES OF SPACE & SKY, 2015~~~

CLASSIC CASES AND NEW REVELATIONS___

T H E longest running UFO event in the Washington-Baltimore area continues this year as we reevaluate some of the most significant cases in UFO history, and at the same time, consider recent trends and events in the field! This could well turn out to be the most important “MYSTERIES” conference ever! You can be among the first to personally interview DR. DAVID JACOBS as he discusses his long-awaited and highly anticipated final book in his trilogy on abductions: “WALKING AMONG US: THE ALIEN PLAN TO CONTROL HUMANITY.” “MYSTERIES” will be among the very first speaking engagements for Dave subsequent to the release of this controversial and disturbing book. You will also have an opportunity to speak with LARRY HOLCOMBE who will be discussing his new book: “THE PRESIDENTS & UFOs: A SECRET HISTORY FROM FDR TO OBAMA.” Larry does an excellent job of tracing UFO history through the prism of American presidents. Many “newcomers” to the field may not fully appreciate the rich history of ufology, especially in terms of some truly fascinating “classic” cases. For example, we are less than a year away from the 50th anniversary of the (in-)famous 1966 SWAMP GAS EXTRAVAGANZA, which put J. Allen Hynek on the “UFO map” forever! DR. LINDA MURPHY and her husband BILL (from the CENTER FOR UFO STUDIES) will be traveling here from Michigan to examine the events, issues, and people behind this pivital chapter in UFO history, and evaluate what scores of police officers, college students and everyday people saw in those early spring days in 1966. The Murphys will shed NEW light on this intriguing and important story, which involved a man who later became the President of the United States! It also so happens that 2015 is the 60th anniversary of one of the most peculiar, yet well-documented cases in ufology, the KELLY–HOPKINSVILLE-GOBLIN Encounter (in Kentucky). SUSAN SWIATEK, State Director of Virginia MUFON and a UFO historian in her own right will be presenting a review of what arguably might be one of the first “high strangeness” cases in UFO history! (In any case, we definitely will be hearing about high strangeness as we welcome back, MUFON STAR TEAM INVESTIGATOR, NORM GAGNON, whose fascinating stories are consistently featured in many issues of the MUFON Journal.) No discussion of UFO history would be complete without talking about what is considered to be among the most credible UFO events which included apparent “occupants”: The 1964 SOCORRO, NEW MEXICO incident involving police office, Lonnie Zamora. Television personality, BEN MOSS, of the “HANGAR 1” TV show will be updating this case, which former MYSTERIES speaker & notable UFO historian Don Berliner, once described as among the “strongest” & most convincing cases he ever investigated! Of course UFO sightings never ceased and veteran ufologist, ROB SWIATEK, a MUFON Board Member, will bring us all up-to-date about “current events” in ufology. Rob, who has appeared on the Larry King Live TV show, was recently the ONLY invited UFO speaker at the prestigious Society of Scientific Exploration (SSE) conference near Washington, D.C. (Of course, speaking of history, Rob is probably the world’s leading expert on the famed 1952 Washington, D.C. UFO flap over our Nation’s Capital.)

So, whether one is a “UFO novice” who wants to be educated about UFO history, or a veteran observer of ufology, this conference is for YOU! There is something for everyone, including, as usual, PRIZES and give-a-ways! Dr. Jacobs and Mr. Holcolmbe will be selling & signing their books. (Please note, that this is a serious conference, which looks at some very serious and in some cases disturbuing situations…..children under sixteen are strongly discouraged from attending. Feel free to ask for specifics from the organizer if interested in more details.) A N D……. be sure to check out www. theufostore.com for all things UFO !!!

The International Paradigm Symposium is
a four-day event featuring speakers and
sometimes known as the alternative
movement. Now in its fourth year, the Paradigm
Symposium is held annually in the
Minneapolis-St. Paul area. This year’s
conference (PS2015) will be held at
the Crowne Plaza Hotel adjacent to the world
famous Mall of America and only minutes
from the Minneapolis-St. Paul International
Airport with hotel shuttles running between
these locations throughout the day.
While other events focus on a single theme,
the Paradigm Symposium has assumed
its leadership position by representing a
broad array of topics including metaphysics,
extraterrestrial life, scientific mysteries, natural
healing and supernatural phenomena.
The late Filip Coppens, a widely recognized
celebrity in this field, proclaimed, “The
Paradigm Symposium has quickly become
the NUMBER ONE alternative conference
in the United States, if not the World.”
Erich von Däniken, the ‘Grandfather’ of what
is now known as the Ancient Alien Theory,
whose groundbreaking work Chariots of
the Gods? in the 1960s inspired hundreds
of books, several television series, and who
has appeared at uncounted events over the
years, said of the Paradigm Symposium, “It
was one of the most perfect events I ever
attended. Everything was well and great.
The speakers, the audience, the location
and, of course, the organization. It was a
pleasure to be part of it.”
Hundreds of alternative enthusiasts come
each year from around the country, a few
traveling from such distances as Australia,
Sweden, Egypt and England. Between
admission fees, travel, meals and other
purchases like items sold by our vendors (the
vendor area is typically filled to capacity),
most attendees spend over $2000 during
the four-day event. They represent the most
affluent and sophisticated segment of the
growing alternative movement, and some are
themselves personalities in this field.
Our attendees bring with them a deep
passion for their subjects of interest. They
remain keenly focused toward the stage
area and the content being presented by our
speakers. Moreover, most of our speakers
are recognized celebrities in their subjects
with numerous appearances on TV networks
like NatGeo, Science, Discovery, SyFy and
the History Channel, who filmed an entire
episode of Ancient Aliens (the von Däniken
Legacy) at the Paradigm Symposium. Most
have appeared on the ever-popular Coast to
Coast AM radio show with millions of listeners
from around the world.

The Mothman Festival is an annual commemoration of the visit of the mysterious entity known as the “Mothman”, as described in John A.

The festival features a wide variety of vendors and merchants, live local music, delicious food and a family-friendly atmosphere. The festival sees patrons from all over the world who come to experience the unique atmosphere and learn more about the Mothman.
