2011 UFO Congress Update

Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to take a brief moment to thank those of you who came out to the 2010 International UFO Congress – This year was truly something to remember. I want to update everyone and address a few questions I have received in the last few days in regards to next years conference in the Phoenix, Arizona area:

Smoking and Non-smoking concerns:

We have had a few questions regarding smoking and some concerns from some people about the fact that the hotel itself is non-smoking. So here’s the deal:

  • The rooms are non-smoking, however you can request a ground floor room, which have patios that you can smoke on (the weather will be gorgeous this time of year) – these are on a first come, first served basis.
  • The conference center is ground floor with many exits within a few feet from the speaker/vendor areas, that you can quickly and easily rush outside for a smoke break.
  • The Fort McDowell Casino is a separate building and the Casino itself is a smoking casino that also has a non-smoking section – so both parties can gamble and eat happily.

Check out the aerial view of the hotel, conference center and casino and you can see how easy it is for both smokers and non-smokers to be comfortable. (Click to see full size).

Registration times:

Early registration will not begin until late summer/early fall – as soon as I know the exact dates I will update everyone. The registration page will be updated with all the necessary information as soon as I know more

How do I become a speaker or request a speaker for 2011?

We want to provide the best possible speakers for you for 2011 – Tell us who you’d like to see, topics you would like addressed and any other suggestions you would like to send our way.

All your advice will be taken into consideration when we make final selections for speakers (summer/fall time).

To suggest a speaker please email contact@ufocongress.com with speaker name, a brief synopsis of topic/talk and contact information.


I am in the process of updating the site with all the pertinent information for next year – so please be patient with us as we get everything ready for next year.

Also, don’t forget to check out the 2010 UFO Congress speaker DVDs, especially if you were not able to attend this year.

Thanks,
Maureen

    Dr. Lynne Kitei

    Dr. Lynne Kitei

    Dr. Lynne D. Kitei, key witness, author, and executive producer of the Phoenix Lights Network, www.thephoenixlights.net, will present an updated, revolutionary perspective of the historic Arizona state-wide UFO sighting, the Phoenix Lights, revealing multiple craft and multiple anomalous phenomena translated into dramatic, layered computerized images.

    This new and comprehensive view of the Phoenix Lights March 13, 1997 event is a compilation of 12 years of meticulous research and documentation by Dr. Lynne and chief investigator, Michael Tanner. The layered 3-D computerized images are created by software developer and former Smithsonian webmaster, Larry Lowe.

    The presentation will include the following information:

    • Media coverage since 1997 has been superficial and mis-leading.
    • The Phoenix Lights was not just one event or even two events, but multiple craft and phenomena witnessed over many hours.
    • Witnesses expressed real time and long term transformations of consciousness.
    • The mass consciousness of Phoenix has shifted.
    • This shift provides opportunities in education and media to expand mainstream awareness of the UFO phenomena and extraterrestrial reality.
    • A groundbreaking educational endeavor created by the Phoenix Lights 3: Dr. Lynne Kitei, researcher/author Dr. Rebecca Hardcastle and first-hand PL witness/CEO AZ Dept. of Peace Campaign, Terri Mansfield. www.phoenixlights3.com
    • New and exciting developments.

    Michael Salla, PhD to present Exposing Government Policies on Extraterrestrial Life

    Michael Salla

    Michael Salla

    Credible witnesses have come forward to reveal experiences and evidence of secret agreements involving extraterrestrial life. The testimonies of these witnesses point to quasi-governmental entities drawn from government, military and corporate sectors that have implemented various aspects of such agreements. Human and earth resources, sensitive information and/or advanced technology are exchanged through these agreements which in some cases have ?treaty? status. If accurate, the witness testimonies suggest that quasi-governmental entities have kept secret the signing and implementation of agreements or ?treaties? with extraterrestrials. These agreements flagrantly violate constitutional principles and processes. In his presentation, Dr Salla will reveal startling first hand testimonies of those claiming to have witnessed events or documents concerning secret agreements with extraterrestrial life. He will analyze the scope and nature of these agreements, and how they influence public policies concerning extraterrestrial life.

His groundbreaking Exopolitics: Political Implications of the Extraterrestrial Presence (Dandelion Books, 2004) presented the first scholarly framework for understanding the political implications of an undisclosed extraterrestrial presence. He has two forthcoming books in 2009 that reveal his most recent exopolitics research and its relationship with international politics: Exposing U.S. Government Policies on Extraterrestrial Life, and Galactic Diplomacy.
