Lecture #1: Dr. Bob Gross presents “The Kecksburg UFO Incident”
Description: The Kecksburg incident occurred on December 9, 1965 at Kecksburg, Pennsylvania. Thousands of witnesses saw a large, brilliant fireball streaking overhead in at least six U.S. states and Ontario, Canada. The object reportedly crashed in the woods near the small village of Kecksburg, about 30 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. Some Kecksburg residents reported seeing an object shaped like an acorn and about as large as a Volkswagen Beetle, bearing strange writing that resembled Egyptian hieroglyphics. The object was quickly whisked away by the military, which then denied that anything had been found. This case is well known to Dr. Gross, because, while working with the Pennsylvania Association for the Study of the Unexplained, he had access to a number of rare materials about the incident.
Lecture #2: Noe Torres presents “UFOs Over South Texas”
Description: In the spring of 2012, an Edinburg resident driving in the vicinity of Moore Air Field suddenly encountered a huge, brightly-illuminated UFO hovering over the roadway ahead of her. In the summer of 1953, McAllen residents stood outside their homes in broad daylight and watched a cluster of six metallic silver disks flying in formation around their city for two hours. In the fall of 1966, eight men digging a caliche pit at the Sam Gonzalez Ranch north of Edinburg were resting in their trailer at night when something came out of the sky, illuminating the entire area around them and burning all of their vehicles and machinery. These and other amazing UFO cases from South Texas are presented by author Noe Torres.
Lecture #3: “South Texas UFO Hunters” – Presented by Ismael Cuellar
Description:Ismael Cuellar and his group, the Laredo Paranormal Research Society (LPRS), use cutting-edge scientific instruments to investigate paranormal phenomena, such as UFOs, mystery orbs, spirit entities, and more. The audience was amazed as Ismael and other LPRS members demonstrated the use of high-tech equipment to detect the paranormal. For the first time ever, they disclosed the results of an investigation into a large triangle UFO filmed hovering over Laredo in November 2011, mysterious orbs, and other recent paranormal incidents.
