As many of you know, I was invited to give a lecture on May 26, 2016 on Valiant Thor for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), in Las Vegas, Nevada. It couldn't have gone better: A full house was on hand for the slide show and Q&A and everyone paid attention and asked LOTS of questions!
The event lasted about two hours so it's too much to recap here. MUFON member Chris Zuchari filmed most of it and I will soon be releasing this footage on YouTube. It was surprising to see the audience so engaged! I'm hoping that when this video goes live, there will be an equal amount of interest with the public.

In giving this lecture, the most rewarding thing was being able to inform everyone about the National Investigative Committee on Unidentified Flying Objects (NICUFO). The 501(c)(3) nonprofit is the best source of information you can find on Valiant Thor and his mission. By subscribing to the Inter Space Link Newsletter, started by Dr. Frank E. Stranges in 1980, you will find out unbelievable, untold information, on anything and everything. I've been a subscriber for years and I can assure you that you will not be disappointed!!!

Topics covered at the lecture
The Space Brother Contactees of the 1950's: Howard Menger, Daniel Fry, George Adamski, George Van Tassel, and of course I dedicated the most time to the late, great, Dr. Frank E. Stranges.
I discussed the Alan Alda contact case and must thank UFO investigator and longtime friend of Dr. Frank, Nick Bensond, for allowing me to use the video he filmed from an early Inner Circle meeting where Dr. Frank Stranges when he discussed his encounter with Alan Alda while he was with Vice Commander Donn Thor on an airplane headed to Las Vegas, Nevada.
When dealing with August C. Robert, it's more than difficult to find photos and information on the former Air Force photographer. I was delighted to have a clip of him being interviewed in a 1950's documentary on UFOs. Special thanks Roger Larivière for providing the footage.
I want to thank Donna Carbone and Chris Zuchari for all of their hard work organizing and producing such a successful event. I also want to thank Shahrokh Mohammadzadeh for driving me around town and talking about MUFON and related endeavors... and Jerry Spinner for having me stay over for a few days.
Hanging out, showing me not just where to play but HOW to play cards... was both informative and entertaining and I'm excited to report that I returned to Brooklyn, New York, with a $25 plus in poker winnings. It may not seem like a big deal, but I was prepared to lose $400! It could be that I'm a stronger player than I thought, but there's no denying Jerry, AKA, "Brooklyn Jerry" taught me a whole lot--and I'm grateful to be able to learn from someone with his level of professional skill and expertise.
Don't forget to check back here soon. I'm editing video for the event that I hope you all will RT, Like, and share all over the interweb. God Bless and thanks to everyone for all your hard work. It was an honor and a privilege to be a part of this event.
It's been over three months since I posted and lots has happened since then. I've been talking with Chad C Meek, a writer, director, and executive producer who has taken his own early childhood UFO abduction experiences, and time spent with his uncle, George Van Tassel, to tell an epic story about the early space contactee's movement that occurred at Giant Rock, in California's Mojave desert.
