Richard Dolan is considered by many to be the pre-eminent historian of the subject, and his presentation demonstrated that he is uniquely qualified to put the UFO phenomenon in perspective as it relates to the world we live in. After giving a brief history of the UFO phenomenon in modern times, Richard provided unique insights into the workings of the geo-political world and how it deals with the subject of UFOs. His emphasis was not on the nuts and bolts of UFOs, but how the nations of the world would most likely deal with the subject. The veil of secrecy surrounding UFOs, in his opinion, could reflect the potential impact that the acknowledgement of superior UFO technology could have on the economies of the world. In short, he believes that there are many good reasons why, if UFOs do exist, they are being kept a secret. We highly recommend that you read his numerous books on the subject for further details of his theories. |

Joedy Cook is one of the most active bigfoot researchers in the state of Ohio so he was uniquely qualified to share with the audience his insights and views on the bigfoot phenomenon. Joedy believes we are dealing with a true biological creature that is a remnant of homonids that existed in earlier times such as gigantopithicus. He feels the creatures' reported observed behaviors point to this conclusion. He presented a number of slides of captured bigfoot behavior as well as brought to the conference trace evidence in the form of plaster cast footprints. As with any phenomenon, there are always those parts that don't fit the expected paradigm. Joedy spoke about the "dogman" phenomenon and how it is also an ongoing phenomenon with puzzling characteristics. Sightings and encounters with the "dogman' have occured in several states including many in Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and continue to this day. Joedy participates in a number of bigfoot searches throughout the year and invites anyone interested to sign up as a member of an upcoming field team.

Jeff Wilson demonstrated to the audience the disciplined scientific approach he is taking with crop circle investigations. He surprised the audience with his facts including that Ohio has the highest incidence of crop circle reports in the United States. His investigations are thorough and cover a broad scope of information and data collection. The data he has collected includes, among other things, that crop circles are likely to appear near power lines and near sources of water. He also reported that 65% of all crop circles appear in locations near known native american sites such as as mound formations. He has also researched crop circle design and pointed out to our audience that the designs sometimes appear to accurately mimic known scientific principles related to fractal geometry and astronomy. Jeff does not pretend to have the answers to this puzzling phenomenon, but his solid scientific approach is sure to contribute a great deal to the eventual solving of this ongoning mystery. |

Our deep appreciation goes out to IMU for helping to bring these great speakers to our conference this year. IMU has a deep appreciation for the value of increasing the worlds' knowledge of subject matter often thought to be outside the realms of "genuine" science. Despite this erroneous world view, IMU provides coursework in subjects including Consciousness Studies, Holistic Health, Intuitive Arts, Paranormal Studies, Shamanism, and Ufology. Richard Dolan is among the faculty facilitating courses in Ufology. Thanks again to Kelly Weary and the staff of IMU for their efforts in helping to make the 2013 MUFON of Ohio conference a success. |
