This year, for our 11th Annual UFO Festival in 2010, we are pleased to host James Clarkson, Colin Andrews and Travis Walton as our speakers.

Clarkson (our Friday evening speaker) is a military policeman and Washington police/criminal investigator now known as the "UFO Cop." In 1987, he began using his investigative skills/experience to study the UFO phenomenon and advocate for fellow officers. Clarkson is also the director for MUFON in Washington. His UFO Festival presentation will be about June Crain, an employee at Wright Patterson Air Force Base who handled some of the pieces from Roswell and had heard of at least three other UFO crash retrievals. Hear how her story collaborates the UFO cover-ups by the government (Learn more at majesticdocuments.com). The Crain story has also been featured on the SyFy Channel's "The Secret."  

Andrews (our Saturday afternoon presenter) is a preeminent crop circles expert and recent expat from the UK to the United States. Andrews was an advisor for Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's cabinet on the largest crop circle surveillance project, codenamed "Operation Blackbird." See Andrews' website at colinandrews.net.  

On Saturday morning, we host Travis Walton, a UFO witness and abductee upon whom the book and film “Fire in the Sky” was based. Read about his incredible experiences at travis-walton.com.
