Robert Powell-UFOs: A Scientist Explains What We Know (And Don’t Know)
Robert Powell will be discussing his view of the UFO subject after 18 years of intense study of the subject. He will review the modern UFO history and why it is not a figment of our collective imaginations. Robert will cover the strangeness of the phenomenon, what scientists should look for and establish to gather additional data, and how we have reacted to UFOs. Lastly, he will discuss the challenge for academia, the extraterrestrial hypothesis, and what must be done next in our quest to understand UFOs.
