Here are some highlights from a news story about the conference:

A recent evening program about UFOs in the Edinburg City Auditorium was expected to draw about 100, ended up attracting more than 700 people, many of whom stayed long after the event ended to discuss their own personal UFO sightings.

Last year, an Edinburg resident reported seeing a huge UFO hovering a few feet above the pavement on a lonely stretch of road near a now-inactive U.S. Air Force facility, Moore Air Base, located just northwest of Edinburg. Local UFO expert Stephen Andrasko, who will lecture about "The South Texas X-Files," says, "It was an amazing encounter. She got out of her car and looked right at it. There were two state troopers also at the scene observing this unusual craft."

The conference kicks off with a presentation titled "Science and the Paranormal" by veteran researcher, Dr. Robert W. Gross, a retired college professor and longtime UFO believer. In additon to being an expert on the world-famous Kecksburg UFO Incident, Dr. Gross lectures frequently on how scientific methodology can be applied to studying UFOs and other paranormal manifestations.
