explanation to the UFO mystery. Most UFOs are misidentifications of ordinary objects or phenomena, and some are likely to be secret prototype aircraft, missiles or drones. But when it comes to the more exotic theories like extraterrestrials, time travelers or something from other dimensions, none of these concepts are mutually exclusive. But maybe it's something so bizarre and abstract that it's beyond our comprehension — something that we have neither the words to describe, nor the conceptual awareness to define. Q. When you're invited to speak somewhere like the Ozark Mountain UFO Conference, are there goals you want to accomplish? And if so, what are they? A. I want to share knowledge and opinions with the audience, so people come away informed, intrigued, thinking and talking about what they've heard. There have been some amazing revelations recently about military encounters with UFOs, and what the government's doing in response, and I want to share the details, along with an insider's perspective that people always enjoy, when I explain how those of us who've looked at this topic from within government view things. In-person events were largely put on hold during the pandemic, and I sense there's a real desire to come to conferences like this, to hear and meet the speakers and the other attendees. Q. What do you want readers who say all this is poppycock to think about after reading this? A. I never get offended by people who remain skeptical, and it would be a boring world if we all thought the same about UFOs. People are free to believe — or not believe — as they choose. But if I have a message for people at the skeptical end of the spectrum, it's a request that they read the multiple UFO-related provisions that went into the new defense bill, and read the preliminary assessment of UFOs drawn up last year by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. They'll see that the DOD, the military, the intelligence community and Congress are all taking UFOs seriously now — along with elements of the scientific community. There's no smoke without fire: These sorts of people are paying attention to the subject for very good reasons. This topic has come out of the fringe and into the mainstream in the last four years, and I'll be covering this in my presentation at the Ozark Mountain UFO Conference — and speculating on what might happen next! www.malco.com www.malco.com www.malco.com www.malco.com www.malco.com https://uark.universitytickets.com 4 WHAT'S UP!
