Talk to be held on UFOs
10:30am Wednesday 17th February 2010 in News
WEIRD Events, a new organisation based in Swindon, is holding a series of talks in the run-up to its paranormal and UFO conference in August.
The talks, which are held on the last Saturday of each month, will include well known speakers such as Ministry of Defence UFO Helpdesk official Nick Pope, and paranormal investigator Malcolm Robinson.
Organiser Chris Williams said: “In February we welcome Trystan Swale to Swindon. The talk covers the diluted truths, outright lies and red herrings that abound in the investigation and research field of UFOs.”
The talks are held in The Restaurant, Kings Hotel, Wood Street. Doors open at 7.15pm and each talk finishes at about 9.30pm. Entry is £6.

I bet the UFO believers have been having a field day since the craze for Chinese Flying Lanterns took hold.

Take some time to look at the talks we are holding. This one for example is a skeptical view of the subject matter and a very interesting one at that.
The talks are a balance of different beliefs and different subjects.
Hope to see you there!
Chris.

Most likely 98% of sightings can be explained rationally, its the other 2% that are the intriguing ones.
Why would we think that, with a universe as vast as this is, that we would be the only life form?
PS You'd be surprised what I encounter up there on my broomstick!

We are not for profit, so I make no money out of this, neither does any of the people who help me or the speakers.
