Largest UFO Conference in the World Returns to the Valley + Overview Of The 2011 Conference (Video)

The International UFO Congress, the largest annual UFO conference, will be at the Fort McDowell Resort & Casino February 21-26, 2012.


Tempe, AZ, February 09, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The International UFO Congress, the largest annual UFO conference in the world, will be celebrating its 21st year this February 2012 in the Phoenix area. The International UFO Congress is a leading organization for the research and documentation of UFOs and related information.

The conference will be held at the Fort McDowell Resort and Casino February 21-26, 2012. It begins on Tuesday the 21st with the EBE Film Festival, an all-day event which is free to the public and features various UFO and related films. Conference presentations begin the following day. Conference admission will be sold in packages for those many guests who make a week of the event, along with à la carte options available for those who just want to check it out for an afternoon.

The conference boasts more than 20 speakers and a plethora of exhibitors from around the globe, and covers a large variety of topics related to the UFO phenomenon including sightings, 2012, technology, government cover-ups, exopolitics, black projects, crop circles, alien visitation and more.

Panel presentations on 2012, Alien species and UFOs in the Mass Media will feature famous authors, researchers and TV personalities and provide the audience a chance to interact with speakers and ask the pertinent questions.

“We strived to pull together a more interactive experience this year,” conference co-organizer Maureen Elsberry says, “with both topics and speakers that the general public as well as serious UFO researchers can take away something new from.”

Phoenix, Arizona has its fair share of UFO history stemming from the infamous Phoenix Lights in March of 1997 to Travis Walton’s famed Fire in the Sky abduction.

“The stigma associated with this phenomenon is dwindling, as the possibility of life on other planets is a hot topic in the scientific community right now. We hope that people come out and see what this is all about and how they can get involved,” said Elsberry.

The conference will also feature nightly night-vision sky watching events, a special Sunday panel presented in Spanish, the EBE Film Festival Awards Banquet, a cocktail party sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon and a performance by local musicians the Austen Mack Quartet.

UFO News: Same OVNI Caught on Tape Twice Over Tijuana (Video)

In the latest UFO news, two separate videos were posted of the same OVNI flying over Tijuana, Mexico on YouTube Tuesday, showing a massive, multi-colored unidentified flying object. What is it?

In a rare UFO sighting event, the separate videos prove this is no hoax, as the same object is caught by two different eyewitnesses in the night-time skies over Mexico.


The object, which is circular and brightly lit by multi-colored lights, hovers high in the sky, forcing both witnesses to zoom in. That makes the camera work very jerky in both cases, but it does reveal this is definitely not any kind of known aircraft.

Here's the first video:


Here's the second video:


Witnesses in the background chatter excitedly in Spanish as dogs bark nervously. Comments on the videos reveal some residents became very afraid by the sightings.

What do you think of this latest UFO news? What is this object, caught by two separate witnesses? Is this proof that UFOs really exist?

UFOs can activate U.S. and Russian Nukes (video)

9 February 2012



The U.S. nuclear arms program was not the only country affected by UFO intervention that seemed to be testing how to launch or possibly shut down a nuclear arms launch, as author and UFO-nukes researcher Robert Hastings details in a report released today where similar incidents occurred in the Soviet Union.

Hastings kicks off the story with what he believes is one of the most disturbing incidents from a U.S. military base - the testimony of David H. Schuur, who was a Minuteman missile crew member in the 455th/91st Strategic Missile Wing at Minot AFB from December 1963 through November 1967.

The testimony includes Schuur's account that a UFO once activated the launch sequence in most of his Minuteman missiles. Part of that testimony includes:

“However, when the object passed over our flight, we started receiving many spurious indications on our console. The object was apparently sending some kind of signals into each missile. Not every missile got checked [out] by the object, but there were several that did. Maybe six, seven, or eight.

Maybe all ten got checked, but I don’t think so. As this thing was passing over each missile site, we would start getting erratic indications on that particular missile. After a few seconds, everything reset back to normal. But then the next missile showed spurious indicators so the object had apparently moved on to that one and did the same thing to it. Then on to the next one, and so on. It was as if the object was scanning each missile, one by one."

The next day, the logs and tapes were turned in, and personnel were told - "It never happened."

Following publication of these and other similar events in Hastings' book, UFOs and Nukes: Extraordinatry Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites, former Soviet Union military came forward with their own encounters.

Hastings writes: "One of those events occurred on October 4, 1982, near the Ukrainian town of Byelokoroviche, when a disc-shaped object apparently hovered over an Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM) base for an extended period. At one point during the encounter, a number of nuclear missiles suddenly activated—without authorization from Moscow or any action being taken by the missile launch officers—and were preparing to launch."

Hastings report quotes a Russian newspaper article where a military eyewitness to an event there talks about what happened on October 4, 1982.

“It was unbelievable. Approximately one-and-a-half kilometers from us hovered an elliptical-shaped object,” the former rocketeer excitedly told Life. “The dimensions of the UFO shocked us—as large as a five-story house! Barely-visible lights flew up to the object. The guys [and I] were on our way to dinner when we all saw it! The UFO continued to hover, slowly moving to the left, as if drifting. One officer tried to get closer to it in a car but the UFO flew away. At this time all of the missile launchers malfunctioned. The UFO [also] blocked radio signal reception in the bunker.
