I want to thank Robert Frola, Diane Harrison and AUFORN for giving UFOESA the opportunity to be involved in such a great event.1 personally want to thank Diane for her great work on the flyer as well as all the hard work behind the scenes that doesn't get noticed much but is the glue that keeps it all together. It was a pleasure to do business with you. I'm already looking forward to the next one. Without the help of sponsors and volunteers,an event like this would be very expensive to organise. I want to thank the Australasian UFO legist magazine for the advertising, OPM Copiers Gladesville for the printingandNumberOne Limousines, Belmore, for the Limo. A special thank you to the dedicated UFOESA staff who did a wonderful job, Geoffrey Brien, Babbette, Paulina, Pierre Khoury, Greg Smith and Greg Foster (video), thanks guys, we could not have done it without you. The biggest thank you goes to Duncan Roads and NEXUS magazine for giving AUFORN and UFOESA the chance to host such great speakers. We at UFOESA are always willing andhappy to host good quality speakers. Our thanks also go to the speakers. Bill Chalker, Freddy Silva, Michael Horn and Alfred L. Webre, for your time and insightful lectures. I personally want to welcome you all back any time; you are always welcome in my home.You were wonderful guests. FRIDAY 30 September: It was an early start on Friday morning. I picked up the limo with my trusted sidekick, my nephew Pierre Khoury, who is thirteen years old. Ibackti 'oflhe luggage. .ob^Fr«ddJs| "trw^ All five guests were staying at my place for the next three days. After a quick introduction and some refreshments, we were off to the City. Freddy, Michael and Alfred wanted to see the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. We were on Parramatta Road, Strathfield, when Diane noticed some thing in the sky. Diane asked if the blimp was flying around and I told her that I had not seen the blimp over Sydney for a couple of years. I then asked her why she asked. She said that she could see something in the sky and if h wasn't the blimp then it might be a helicopter. I opened the sunroof and noticed something hovering then moving rapidly down then back up and away. I personally don't know what we saw but it was interesting. We continued our sightseeing with a tour of the historic Rocks area then we headed to Mrs Macquarie's Point where you get the best view of the Bridge and Opera House. About six o'clock we headed back home where everyone freshened up and got ready to go to dinner. Bill Chalker joined us as did Shé, a friend ofFreddy Silva. We wentto a local Chinese restaurant in Berala and a great time was had by all. We went back home for some much needed rest but ended up staying up for most of the night. SATURDAY morning 1 October: Another early start to the day. Diane was already up organising breakfast as my wife Vivian was at her mother's, recovering from surgery. I don't know what I would have done if not for Diane's help as she took to the kitchen as if it was her own. I get a lot of enjoyment in knowing that guests are comfortable in my home. CONFERENCE: Considering that it was a long weekend VOL.9 #5 http://homepage.powerup.com.au/~ufologist r and a Grand Final weekend at that, ^ were very happy with the attendant figure.We had approximately 150 peoplo^ in attendance, which was encouraging.C guest speakers were of great value with Freddy Silva proving most popular. IN THIS ISSUE: Robert continues with Nick Redfem'sj rebuttle to various researchers criticism^ of his latest book 'Body Snatchers in" the Desert'. Louis Proud again graces these pages with his latest article 'UFOs: Denizens Of An Unseen Borderland.' Louis spectulates that perhaps not all UFOs are alien spacecraft visiting the Earth, and that some of them are in fact creatures of an unknown species and genus that inhabit the earth's atmosphere. As always, very interesting reading. Stefan's article 'New Religious UFO Movements: Extraterrestrial Salvation in Contemporary America' has again struck a cord with Robert receiving many e-mails from members of thej Aetherius Society, both here in Australia -and New Zealand, wishing to obtaii^-copies of the previous issue which the Aetherius Society was featured. One such e-mail was from Ray Nielsen who has been with the Society since 196 and was a close friend and disciple ofi the Founder, Dr. George King. Ray has spent most of his adult life with him and witnessed his role as Primiary Terrestrial Mental Channel for Cosmic Beings, who delivered tremendous Teachings through'^ him from 1955 to 1981. As usual, Robert has provided us with i another Jam packed issue, with much information to absorbed. Happy reading. Peter Khoury UFOESA THE AUSTRALASIAN UFOLOGIST 3
