This first of its kind conference will examine both current knowledge and future possibilities within the fast-growing, scientific exploration of outer space. Through the interface of cosmology, astrobiology, sociology and cutting edge physics, we will explore the search for earth-like exoplanets and extraterrestrial life; the potential implications of contact; and technologies which might exist within civilizations thousands or millions of years ahead of us. We will also present a rigorous and rational overview of the UFO question, as it should be understood within a scientific, historical context. Our goal is to bring these many interrelated areas together for the first time, as presented only by leading, credentialed professionals, and to begin a dialogue within an expanded scientific framework about the search for signs of life in the cosmos and its implications.
Jeffrey Bennett holds a B.A. in Biophysics from the University of California at San Diego and an M.S. and Ph.D. in astrophysics from the University of Colorado at Boulder. He has taught at every level from preschool through graduate school in subjects including astronomy, physics, mathematics, and education. He is the author of leading college textbooks in astronomy, mathematics, statistics, and astrobiology, including Life in the Universe coauthored with Seth Shostak, the #1, best selling textbook for astrobiology courses.

Firstly a UFO is an Unidentified Flying Object so stop making the connection between UFO's and alien civilizations.
And secondly, there is ZERO evidence for extraterrestrial life, and even if there were alien civilizations out there, we would have already been visited by now.

Even names like Stan Friedman lose credibility when examined to find that all they seem to do is lecture at conferences for pay, playing the same song they've been playing that was once a big hit back in 1980-something, but is now just tired, and geared for preaching to the choir.
Ufology needs be retired for a new critical, scientific look by people that actually have credibility, that aren't tainted with or corrupted by the money carousel of lectures and presentations that is current paradigm for the UFO-Conference circuit.
the search for earth-like exoplanets and extraterrestrial life; the potential implications of contact; and technologies which might exist within civilizations thousands or millions of years ahead of us.

Its right there, the connection between UFO's and "alien civilizations" is NOT confirmed.
and even if there were alien civilizations out there, we would have already been visited by now.

Do you research or keep it shut.edit on 23-5-2012 by Ahmose because: (no reason given)
