Experts present credible UFO evidence at Scottsdale area event

UFOs are real say former high-ranking government and military officials

The former Minister of Defence for Canada, a man tasked to investigate UFOs for Britain’s Ministry of Defence, multiple former U.S military personnel, and top experts will be presenting their take on the UFO phenomenon this February at the International UFO Congress. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the largest UFO Convention in the United States, and its first time in the Phoenix metro area.

Contrary to popular belief, many in the military do take UFOs seriously. Retired officers and other servicemen will be sharing their personal experiences observing UFOs during their time in the U.S. military. A retired Colonel, John Alexander, who investigated paranormal phenomena for the Army will be releasing his latest book on government UFO secrecy at the conference. Military witnesses in particular pique the interest of the public, as we saw with a recent Press Conference in Washington D.C. in which some of these same witnesses shared their stories.

Further indications of the public’s growing interest in credible UFO evidence was demonstrated by journalist, Leslie Kean’s new book, UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go On the Record, which hit the New York Times’ best seller list. She will be present at the conference, discussing the incredible media attention her book received, and reviewing some of its content, such as Ex-Arizona Governor, Fyfe Symington’s own sighting of the famous “Phoenix Lights” mass UFO sighting in 1997. Symington says he saw a vehicle he described as “enormous and inexplicable.” Francis Barwood, who was a Phoenix city council woman during the “Phoenix Lights”, will present her struggle trying to represent citizens who wanted a legitimate investigation of the incident.

Besides international representatives from the UK and Britain, a civilian researcher from Brazil will discuss his involvement with his government’s decision to investigate UFOs, an announcement that made worldwide headlines in 2010.

Conference organizer, Alejandro Rojas says, “The stigma associated with this phenomenon is dwindling, as prominent figures such as Stephen Hawking are announcing the likelihood that life exists on other planets.  We hope that people come out and see what this is all about and how they can get involved.”
