Letter From Bob

Dear Friends,

As many of you know, this organization has been a part of our family for the past 19 years.  And in return, Teri, myself, and all 3 of my daughters, have become very close with the volunteers and the attendees, and you all have become our extended family.  Every year, we’ve worked very hard to bring you the best conference that we could possibly deliver, and looked forward to spending the week with you.  It is with a saddened heart, that I must admit, that the time has finally come for me to retire.  The Brown family is very torn about this, and feels a great connection to Teri through this wonderful week and everyone involved, but it is time to hand the reins over.  At the conclusion of the February 2010 Conference, I will turn over the conference to Open Minds Productions. They will have information on their plans for the future of your conference at the event, and be available to answer any and all questions.

If you were ever planning to attend our ANNUAL CONGRESS EVENT, or if you have been with us in the past and were planning to return “at some time” in the future, we respectfully suggest that THE TIME TO RETURN MUST BE THIS FEBRUARY 2010!  This will be the last 8 day/7 night mega event ever held by the Browns!  For about the same total expenditure you would make for most average 3 day “weekend UFO conventions” anywhere else in the country, you can be with us for 8 nights deluxe hotel room (double), and 7 days (from morning thru late night) attendance at the worlds’ best UFO convention; including   The UFO Film Festival, The Experiencer  Sessions, the Meet the Speakers Cocktail Party and the EBE Awards Saturday Night Banquet!   I SAY AGAIN, THE ALL INCLUSIVE PRICE FOR THIS CONVENTION STARTS AT JUST $499!!!   Be here!   Make no mistake.  This 8 day truly unique event, by its very nature and design, is life changing! 

 

BROCHURES FOR FRIENDS OR EVENTS:  If you have friends you want to share the conference info with, or will be attending any meetings or group events, let us know.  We will be more than happy to send you as many of our brochures as you need.

 

I look forward to seeing you all one last time in Laughlin!

 

Warmest Regards

Bob Brown

UFO Congress Attendees Get a Sneak Peak at Race To Witch Mountain

It was very exciting for the IUFOC attendees to get a chance to view Race to Witch Mountain, the Disney Movie before it hit theaters. On February 27, 2009 over 200 people stayed awake until midnight and ventured across the street from the Aquarius Resort (where the ufo convention was located) to preview the movie at the Horizon Stadium 9 Cinemas. The theater was packed and everyone was excited to see this movie so many people in the UFO Field took part in helping to create. Several people had their footage of UFOs shown in the beginning, and each time their footage was shown you would hear a section of the auditorium break out in cheers and clapping.

One of the speakers for this year’s conference, Dr. Roger Leir was listed in the film as a speaker along with the main character, Dr. Alex Friedman.

This is not the normal activity for the UFO Congress Convention but since Nicole Irvine worked with set designers on UFO Expo Hall she was able to convince Disney, with the help of Barclay Communications to allow her group to view the movie before it’s national release scheduled for March 13, 2009.

“We are so grateful to Disney and Barclay Communications for helping to make this showing happen. I have never seen such a excited group of people at the movies at midnight.” says Irvine.

Joshua P. Warren Presents Physically Faking UFOs

Joshua P. Warren

Joshua P. Warren

For years, Joshua P. Warren has produced an event testing the art and science of UFO fakers. You will see the best examples of them in flight, and learn invaluable information on how to rule out physical fakes and hoaxes yourself.

Born in Asheville, North Carolina, Joshua P. Warren has lived in the Blue Ridge Mountains his entire life. At the age of 13, he wrote his first published book. Since then, he has had eight more books published, including the regional best-seller, Haunted Asheville, and How to Hunt Ghosts (released by Simon and Schuster), and is the president of his multimedia productions company, Shadowbox Enterprises, LLC. His articles have been published internationally, and he has been covered by such mainstream media as CNN, Fox News, Southern Living, Delta Sky, FATE, New Woman, The New York Times, FHM and Something About the Author; and made the cover of the science journal, Electric Space Craft. A winner of the University of North Carolina Thomas Wolfe Award for Fiction, he wrote columns for the Asheville Citizen-Times from 1992 to 1995. His first novel, The Evil in Asheville, was released in 2000.

An internationally-recognized expert on paranormal research, Warren was hired by the famous Grove Park Inn Resort to be the first person to officially investigate the Pink Lady apparition in 1995 (the same year he founded L.E.M.U.R. paranormal investigations, of which he is president). Warren also led the expedition that captured the first known footage of the elusive Brown Mountain Lights, eventually resulting in scientific breakthroughs, via experiments Warren led in the lab, that help explain most of the lights and many mysterious, natural plasmas (such as ball lightning) that occur around the world. His work has been praised by the Rhine Research Center, The North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching (or NCCAT, for which he gives annual presentations) and numerous scholars such as New York Times best-selling author Dr. William R. Forstchen, Dr. William Roll, Dr. Andrew Nichols, and legendary researchers such as NASA engineer Charles A. Yost, Oak Ridge National Laboratory engineer David Hackett, and authors/researchers Loren Coleman and Patrick Huyghe.
