Budd Hopkins
"Art,
Life and UFOs"
-
World-renowned abduction
researcher Budd Hopkins will be with us in February. In his
presentation, Hopkins will expand upon some of the colorful
adventures he describes in his memoir, but he will also add a number
of comments on personalities and situations in UFO research that for
one reason or another he felt he could not include in his book.
Thus his talk will inevitably be more controversial than the
material he relates in "Art, Life and UFOs."
Expect more about the present
state of abduction research, including the new cases he is currently
investigating, and more about the UFO community's mounting public
relation problems. He sees these problems as having been caused by
a coterie of self-appointed UFO "publicists" whose antics are
systematically turning away potential supporters in the press, as
well as in the scientific and governmental communities.
In addition, there will be plenty
of time for questions at the end of the presentation, so the evening
should be both informative and possibly one of unexpected verbal
skirmishes. Come, listen, and join the fray!

Scott Littleton
“The
Battle
of Los Angeles”
-
Scott Littleton,
Emeritus Professor of Anthropology from Occidental College, will
present a remarkable eyewitness account of a mysterious flying
object that "attacked" the L.A. Basin in the early 1940s.
In
the early morning hours of February 25,1942, a mysterious object
cruised the skies of Southern California from the Santa Monica
Mountains to Orange County. Scott Littleton, who was eight years old
at the time, witnessed the event and will describe for us how he and
his mother stood in front of their Hermosa Beach home watching the
glowing object, surrounded by searchlight beams and a profusion of
exploding anti-aircraft shells, as it passed almost directly
overhead. The object glided slowly and silently along the edge of
the ocean at about 8,000 feet, traveling from north to south. It
eventually veered inland and disappeared from view over Redondo
Beach.
Littleton will
discuss a number of theories that have been put forward over the
years to explain what the object was: from a lone Japanese
observation plane, to an errant barrage balloon, to a flock of
wayward sea birds! He will then share his own conclusion with us
that it was a bona fide UFO, most likely extraterrestrial in origin.
Littleton will also address the rumor he came across in his research
that the object had eventually crashed into the Pacific Ocean off of
northern San Diego County, only to be retrieved later by the US
Navy.
