EUREKA SPRINGS -- More than 750 people attended the 27th annual Ozark Mountain UFO Conference this past weekend in Eureka Springs. The event, held at the Inn of the Ozarks Conference Center, was sold out and packed in the main room, and a second, overflow room showed the presentations on a screen. This event has been reported as the largest UFO conference in the country.
Nine speakers regaled attendees with accounts and information from a diverse range of subjects, including government disclosure of UFO activity, recent archeological finds and their extraterrestrial implications and UFO abductees/contactees.
Popular author and hypnotherapist Dolores Cannon, who took over the conference last year after a gap following the death of long-time conference organizer Lucius Farish, opened the conference by presenting the Lucius Farish Trust award of $1,000 and an engraved crystal to world-renowned ufologist Richard Dolan via Skype.
Cannon added two film debuts, "Hidden Hand" and "Zipper" this year and said she hopes to expand film offerings in the future. She said she wants to keep the conference in Eureka Springs and keep it true to Farish's emphasis on UFO research.
Highlights of the conference included contactee Sherry Wilde, who said she had hundreds of abduction experiences since childhood, speaking intimately of them, and said she finally came to understand "why me?"
"They said, 'You're a volunteer/participant,'" she said, one of millions who came to Earth after the 1945 atomic bomb drop.To Read More...
