Contact In The Desert: June 1-3, 2018
ndian Wells, CA – Interest in Contact in the Desert , the largest UFO conference in the world, is surging due to a recent story in the New York Times detailing some of the findings of a “mysterious UFO program,” that included video of a Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet encountering an unknown flying object. The video was released by the Defense Department’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, an initiative funded from 2007 to 2012 by then Senate majority leader Harry Reid. The article details a 22 million-dollar program hidden deep within the Pentagon budget with the expressed intent “to investigate aerial threats,” including what the military preferred to call “unidentified aerial phenomena” or simply “objects.” The story explains that this is big news as the United States military had announced in 1969 that UFOs were not worth studying.
CONTACT in the DESERT holds its 6th annual event at a new location, the Renaissance Resort and Hotel in Indian Wells, California. There on June 1 – 4, CONTACT in the DESERT will bring together an all-star team of experts to discuss the latest developments in the field, including the recently disclosed secret Pentagon UFO program. More than a conference the event is a portal through which attendees can gain knowledge and the most up-to-date info on UFOs and ancient alien studies.
This will be an epic weekend of adventure where several concurrent tracks will focus on the science of UFOs & extraterrestrial life, ancient aliens, human origins, crop circles, government disclosure, UFO sightings, proof of alien visitation, interplanetary living, contact & abduction experiences, and the “need to know,” featuring 46 lectures, 34 workshops, 8 panels, and 14 intensives. P
Close to 100 people attending the annual CONTACT in the DESERT event in 2016 witnessed several UFOs at close range. This might have been dismissed as anecdotal except that a documentary film crew captured the incident . Reportage and video of the sighting was covered in the Daily Express , Coast to Coast AM , and other outlets. Also in 2016, in Indian Wells, the conferences’ new home, dozens of bright star-like orbs moving together rapidly across the sky, were observed on July 23 . Will there be a sighting at this new location for the event’s 6th year?
