The Contact in the Desert Conference will keep those interested in extraterrestrials in the know with lectures, workshops, and intensives, and will be featuring a wide array of panelists, experts, researchers and celebrities, including two of our very own authors, Nick Redfern and Stanton Friedman.
Redfern will be hosting a lecture entitled "
New Revelations on the Men in Black" and leading a workshop called "
UFO's and Government Surveillance: How to know if you are being Watched." He will discuss never-before-seen data on classic cases as well as how to identify if your experiences and research have made you a person of interest to the government.
Friedman will be hosting the "
Star Travel? Yes!!" lecture and "
The UFO Why Questions" workshop. He will also be holding an intensive course called "
Debunking the UFO Debunkers."
Additionally,
Travis Walton, the famous logger who claims to have been abducted by UFOs will also be a speaker this year. For more information about Travis and the documentary based on his experience, check out Cosimo's
