JONATHAN DOWNES & NIGEL WRIGHT
RISING OF THE MOON: THE DEVON TRIANGLE
- UFO & PARANORMAL EVENTS IN SOUTH DEVON
A regular contributor to Fortean Times and other journals, Jonathan and his colleague Nigel have spent the last couple of years investigating the numerous strange events alleged to have taken place in Southern England.  Interwoven with UFO sightings in South Devon in 1997 are cases of missing persons, missing time, earthlights, crop circles and animal mutilations.  Discover the results of their investigations.

MICHAEL LINDEMANN (USA)
THE 'NEW`MJI2 DOCUMENTS
- FACT OR FICTION?
Michael, a highly respected environmentalist and UFO Researcher, is probably best known for his work as editor of 'CNI News, one of the Internet's best UFO research sites.  Today, he will present the latest evidence for, and against, the controversial 'new' MJ12 documents.  Are the documents proof of a 'Cosmic Watergate' relating to alien visitation; elaborate disinformation; or a clever hoax?

JOSE ESCAMILLA (USA)
‘RODS’ : DISCOVERY OF A NEW LIFEFORM
- PART ONE
On March 19, 1994 Jose Escamilla captured his first UFOs on videotape at Midway, near Roswell, New Mexico.  Now over five years later Jose has filmed and gathered together over 2,000 hours worth of daylight UFO footage - the largest collection of its kind anywhere in the world!  After painstaking analysis and research, Jose has come to an incredible conclusion: he believes he has irrefutable evidence, that undiscovered lifeforms - which he calls RODS - are living, almost unnoticed, in the skies around us - around all of us!  Jose's exclusive presentations at the 1999 LAPIS CONFERENCE will be talked about for years, if not decades, to come - presentations not to be missed!

NICK REDFERN
THE FBI UFO FILES:
50 YEARS OF SECRETS
If you manage to get your breath back after Jose Escamilla's incredible presentation, then prepare for another.  Nick, author of UK bestseller 'UFOs: A Covert Agenda', will reveal more details about the murky world of secret American government agency involvement in the UFO phenomena - an involvement going back half a century.

REV.  LIONEL FANTHORPE
UNSOLVED AERIAL MYSTERIES
- ANCIENT AND MODERN
Television and radio presenter, broadcaster, raconteur, entertainer and martial arts instructor.  This man of many talents and interests, turns his hand today to UFOs.  His survey of ancient and modern aerial phenomena, with a few tentative suggestions and explanations thrown in, should round off the first day of the conference in fine fashion!

SUNDAY  10am - 6.30pm (Doors open 9.15am)

GRAHAM SHEPPARD
UFOs: A SIDEWAYS LOOK
- IDEAS ON ATTAINABLE PHYSICS
Graham, a retired airline pilot, has appeared in many UFO documentaries revealing details of the close encounters experienced by himself and other pilots.  Today, he will challenge the assertion put forward by many 'sceptics': that many UFO reports are merely the result of mis-observation of prototype military aircraft.  Could current understanding of physics really allow us to build such advanced craft?

MICHAEL LINDEMANN (USA)
SCENARIOS OF E.T CONTACT.
SPACE SCIENCE AND UFOs
As new discoveries supportive of the idea of extraterrestrial life are announced on an almost daily basis, Michael Lindemann will offer his views on how the 'inevitable' prospect of widespread, open contact with other species may be realised.  This continually updated lecture received a rapturous response at the huge, ground-breaking UFO conference, which was held in Turkey earlier this year.

JOSE ESCAMILLA (USA)
‘R0DS’ : DISCOVERY OF A NEW LIFEFORM
- PART TWO
It would be true to say that Jose Escamilla's investigations of the alleged RODS phenomena were not taken seriously by most people in the field of ufology - until he revealed the 'Smoking Gun Evidence'.  In 1996 a film crew from the Discovery Channel, filming daredevil base jumpers at a cave in Mexico, got more than they bargained for when their footage was replayed.  Viewed at normal playback speed there appears to be nothing unusual on the screen - when seen in slow-motion, however, it is a different story!  If these things are not living creatures then what are they?  Sit back and watch some of the most spectacular, breathtaking and strange footage ever to be shown at a UK UFO conference.

NICK REDFERN
COSMIC CRASHES.
THE UFOs THAT FELL TO EARTH
Nick's sensational new book finally lifts the lid off secret attempts by the British Government to cover-up UFO crash retrievals on the UK mainland.  He will present strong evidence and credible witness testimony to prove that this apparently unbelievable story is actually true.  If it isn't, why were his movements monitored by a covert agency?

GEORGE WINGFIELD
BLACK TRIANGLES
- THE MYSTERY CONTINUES
George has been a regular, welcome visitor and speaker at our conferences for a number of years now.  He is a highly respected investigator of UFOs and a major driving force behind crop circle investigation journal: 'The Cereologist'.  He will present the latest, up-to-the-minute information on the continuing enigma of Flying/Black Triangle sightings.

EVENING WORKSHOPS WITH JOSE ESCAMILLA AND MICHAEL LINDEMANN
Jose Escamilla will explain in depth why he believes anyone can capture RODS on videotape.  Jose will then show us the do's and don'ts of successful 'Skyfishing'- or ROD-hunting - with camcorders.
Michael Lindemann will present: 'UFO Secrecy - And How It Is Going To End!', a brilliant analysis of how he believes world governments are using the media to 'break the news gently' with regard to E.T. visitation.
 Tickets for each workshop will be available on the day at The Lowther Pavillion and cost only £3.00.
