Speaker

Stephen Bassett - Executive Producer/Speaker/Panel Moderator
is arguably the leading advocate in the nation for ending the 60-year government imposed truth embargo regarding an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race and the planet earth.   He is a political activist, lobbyist, commentator, columnist and conference producer.  He is the founder of the Paradigm Research Group, the Executive Director of the Extraterrestrial Phenomena Political Action Committee (X-PPAC), the creator of the Paradigm Clock and the executive producer of the X-Conference.  His work has been covered internationally including the Washington Post, Washington Times, New York Times, Legal Times, Christian Science Monitor, National Journal, Pravda, London Sunday Express and Roll Call.

Presently he is the only registered lobbyist in the United States representing extraterrestrial related phenomena research/activist organizations, and X-PPAC is the first political action committee to target the political implications of extraterrestrial related phenomena.  Between April 19 and November 5 of 2002 he conducted an independent candidacy in the 2002 congressional campaign in the 8th District of Maryland.  It was the first instance in which a candidate on the November ballot in a federal election openly addressed the matter of an extraterrestrial presence and the government imposed truth embargo. 

Since 1996 Bassett has assisted many organizations and initiatives making the case for 1) an end to the government truth embargo, and 2) open congressional hearings to take the testimony of former military and agency employees witness to extraterrestrial-related events and evidence.   He has appeared on hundreds of radio and television talk shows and in numerous documentaries delivering the message to millions of people of the likelihood and implications of "Disclosure" - the formal acknowledgement of the ET presence by the governments of the world.

Edgar Mitchell, PhD - Keynote (Main)
On January 31, 1971, Navy Captain Dr. Edgar Mitchell embarked on a journey into outer space that resulted in becoming the sixth man to walk on the moon.  The Apollo 14 mission was NASA's third manned lunar landing.  This historic journey ended safely nine days later on February 9, 1971.  It was an audacious time in the history of mankind.  For Mitchell, however, the most extraordinary journey was yet to come.

Paul Hellyer - Keynote (short) (Canada)
On 3 June 1967, Hellyer flew in by helicopter to officially inaugurate an Unidentified flying object landing pad in St. Paul, Alberta. The town had built the landing pad as its Canadian Centennial celebration project, and as a symbol of keeping space free from human warfare. The sign beside the pad reads: "The area under the World's First UFO Landing Pad was designated international by the Town of St. Paul as a symbol of our faith that mankind will maintain the outer universe free from national wars and strife.  That future travel in space will be safe for all intergalactic beings, all visitors from earth or otherwise are welcome to this territory and to the Town of St. Paul."

Throughout his life, Hellyer has been opposed to the weaponization of space.   He supports the Space Preservation Treaty to ban space weapons.

In early September 2005, Hellyer made international headlines by publicly announcing that he believed some UFOs were of extraterrestrial origin.  On 25 September 2005, he was an invited speaker at an exopolitics conference in Toronto, where he told the audience that he had seen a UFO one night with his late wife and some friends.  He said that though he discounted the experience at the time, he had kept an open mind to it.  He said that he started taking the issue much more seriously after watching ABC News' "Peter Jennings Reports UFOs:  Seeing is Believing" special in February 2005.

Watching Jennings' report prompted Hellyer to finally read U.S. Army Lt. Colonel Philip J. Corso's book The Day After Roswell about the Roswell crash Incident which had been sitting on his shelf for some time.  Hellyer told the Toronto audience that he later spoke to a retired Air Force General who confirmed the accuracy of the information in the book. 

Hellyer told the audience that in December 2004, he had enjoyed reading and had endorsed a book by Alfred Webre titled: Exopolitics - Politics, Government and Law in the Universe.  He ended his 30 minute historical talk with a standing ovation by stating: "To turn us in the direction of re-unification with the rest of creation the author is proposing a “Decade of Contact” – an “era of openness, public hearings, publicly funded research, and education about extraterrestrial reality”.

In 2007, the Ottawa Citizen reported that Hellyer is demanding that world governments disclose alien technology that could be used to solve the problem of climate change. "I would like to see what (alien) technology there might be that could eliminate the burning of fossil fuels within a generation ... that could be a way to save our planet," Hellyer told the paper. He also said that "We need to persuade governments to come clean on what they know. Some of us suspect they know quite a lot, and it might be enough to save our planet if applied quickly enough,"

______________________________________________

Paull Hellyer holds one of the longest and most varied political career in Canada's history.  He was first elected as a Liberal in 1949 federal election in the district of Davenport, he was the youngest person ever elected to that point in the Canadian House of Commons. He served a brief stint as Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of National Defence, and made a good impression. He was then named Associate Minister of National Defence in the cabinet of Prime Minister Louis Saint-Laurent.  He lost his seat when the Saint-Laurent government lost the 1957 election a few months later.

Hellyer returned to parliament in a 1958 by-election in the neighboring district of Trinity, and became an effective opposition critic of the John Diefenbaker's Progressive Conservative government.

When the Liberals returned to power in the 1963 election, Hellyer became Minister of National Defence in the cabinet of Lester B. Pearson.  As Minister of Defence, he oversaw the controversial integration and unification of the Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Army, the and the Royal Canadian Air Force into a single organization, the Canadian Forces.

Hellyer contested the 1968 Liberal leadership convention, placing second on the first ballot, but slipping to third on the second and third ballots, and withdrawing to support Robert Winters on the fourth ballot, in which Pierre Trudeau won the leadership.  He then served as Trudeau's Transport Minister, and was Senior Minister in the Cabinet, a position similar to the current position of Deputy Prime Minister.

Hellyer resigned from cabinet and the Liberal caucus in 1969 over a dispute with Trudeau over funding for a housing program.   He sat as an independent for several years. After his 1971 attempt to form a new political party, Action Canada, failed, Progressive Conservative leader Robert Stanfield invited him to join the PC caucus.  He returned to prominence as an opposition critic and was re-elected in the 1972 election as a Progressive Conservative. He lost his seat, however, in the 1974 election.

He contested in the PC leadership convention of 1976.   He rejoined the Liberal Party in 1982, but remained mostly silent in politics. In 1988, he contested the Liberal nomination in the Toronto district of St. Paul's, losing to Aideen Nicholson.

In 1997, Hellyer formed the Canadian Action Party (CAP) to provide voters with an economic nationalist option following the collapse of the National Party of Canada.  Hellyer was concerned that both the Progressive Conservative and Liberal parties were embracing globalization, and that the New Democratic Party was no longer able to provide a credible alternative. CAP also embraced Hellyer's proposals for monetary reform: that the government should become more involved in the direction of the economy by gradually reducing the creation of private money and increasing the creation of public money from the current ratio of 5% public / 95% private back to 50% public and 50% private.   Under the CAP  Hellyer lost bids for a seat in the Canadian House of Commons in the 1997 and 2000 elections.

Following the 2000 election, and a resurgence for the New Democratic Party, Hellyer approached NDP leadership to discuss the possibility of merging the two parties into 'One Big Party'. This process was furthered by the passage of a unanimous motion at the CAP's convention in 2003.  In early 2004, after several extensions of the merger deadline, the NDP rejected Hellyer's merger proposal which would have required the NDP to change its name. Hellyer resigned as CAP leader, but remains a member of the party.

George Noory - Keynote (short) / Special Event
became official prime host for Coast to Coast AM, the number one late night talk show in America, on January 1, 2003.   He took over the reins from retiring Art Bell to become the host of America's most fascinating overnight radio program.  Looking back on George's life and his passion for all things unexplained, it seems almost fated that he would fulfill this unique role.

While still a teenager, George joined NICAP, the UFO organization that was a precursor to today's MUFON.   He immersed himself in the field, "so much so that I decided I wanted to go into broadcasting in order to do unusual stories in the paranormal and stories that the mainstream media didn't want to touch," he told After Dark. Indeed, George's very first broadcast interview, while a young radio reporter for Detroit's WCAR-AM, was with Roswell expert/physicist Stanton Friedman, with whom he has maintained a lifelong friendship.

Now with a 30-year history in the broadcasting field under his belt in such positions as executive television news producer and news director, George brings a wide swath of experience to the table. In fact, at age 28 he was the youngest major news market news director in the country when he was at KMSP-TV in Minneapolis.  But it was just a couple of years ago that he came to the attention of Premiere Radio Networks, who heard him on his late-night radio program on KTRS in St. Louis. Known as "the Nighthawk," George's penchant for covering paranormal topics with enthusiasm and skill impressed Premiere.  He was then brought on board to host the Sunday night Coast to Coast show. And as Art's back problems became more severe, George was honored to fill in for him on a regular basis.

"Coast to Coast AM may just be the most unusual show I have ever witnessed or been a part of. You really almost have to be born into that arena, I think, in order to handle it. I was very lucky in that's the way I was guiding my own career. It was this thirst to really get to the bottom of some of these stories that kept pushing me," George said.

Other highlights of George's life include serving nine years in the U.S. Naval Reserve and winning three Emmy Awards as a news executive.  But certainly manning the helms of Coast to Coast AM is a pinnacle for George, allowing him to pursue the unexplained on a grand scale. It's become his destiny to guide the huge audience from more than 500 radio stations through the night in this dynamic format created by Art Bell. Across America, and around the world on the Internet, George Noory's voice rings out.

Recently George introduced Art Bell at his Lifetime Achievement Award from "Radio & Records," the radio industry trade journal.

John Alexander, PhD
has most certainly had one of the most unusual and varied careers of any officer who has served with the American military.   Which is to say the mainstream military record only partially summarized below coincided with  long term involvement in a whole range of paranormal issues within the framework of and in service to the national security.  These paranormal issues included, but were not limited to, remote viewing, psycho kinesis  and UFOs.   Since he has spent much of his career involved with highly classified programs, much of his resume cannot be revealed.

What is known is that he has been a leading advocate for the development of non-lethal weapons since he created renewed interest in the field starting in 1989. An original thinker, he has developed other unique concepts for conflict that must remain undisclosed at this time.

He entered the US Army as a private in 1956 and rose through the ranks to sergeant first class, attended OCS, and was a colonel of Infantry in 1988 when he retired. During his varied career, he held many key positions in special operations, intelligence, and research and development. From 1966 through early 1969 he commanded Special Forces "A" Teams in Vietnam and Thailand. His last military assignment was as Director, Advanced Systems Concepts Office, US Army Laboratory Command. After retiring from the Army, Dr. Alexander joined Los Alamos National Laboratory where he was instrumental in developing the concept of Non-Lethal Defense. As a program manager, he conducted non-lethal warfare briefings at the highest levels of government including the White House Staff, National Security Council, Members of Congress, Director of Central Intelligence, and senior Defense officials.  He also met with heads of industry, and presented at academic institutions, including Columbia, Harvard and MIT.

Dr. Alexander organized and chaired the first five major conferences on non-lethal warfare and served as a US delegate to four NATO studies on the topic. As a member of the Council on Foreign Relations non-lethal warfare study, he was instrumental in influencing the report that is credited with causing the Department of Defense to create a formal Non-Lethal Weapons Policy in July 1996. For several years, he has been a distinguished guest lecturer at the US Air Force Air University and participated in key war games when non-lethal weapons were first being considered.

Dr. Alexander wrote the seminal articles on current non-lethal warfare. He published articles in Harvard International Review, Jane�s International Defense Review, The Boston Globe, The Futurist, The Washington Post, and several other defense journals. Articles about him and his work can be found in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Newsweek, The Sunday Times (London), Panorama (Italy), Konrad (Germany), The LA Times, Wired Magazine, GQ, Scientific American, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, and many others. He has appeared on Dateline, Fox News, Larry King, CNN, and other U.S. programs plus international television in Australia, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the UK, and Japan.

Academically, he holds a M.A., Pepperdine University, Ph.D., Walden University, and later attended the Anderson School of Management at UCLA, the Sloan School at MIT, and the Kennedy School of Government general officer program "National and International Security for Senior Executives" at Harvard University. In addition to many military awards for valor and service, Aviation Week & Space Technology selected him as a 1993 Aerospace Laureate and in 1997 inducted him into the Hall of Fame at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington. He received a Department of Energy Award of Excellence for the Nuclear Weapons Program in 1994, and is listed in Who's Who in America, Who's Who in Science and Engineering, American Men and Women of Science, and in 2001 was named to the OCS Hall of Fame at Ft. Benning, Georgia.

Currently, he works as president of LEADS, Inc., serves as a consultant to CINC US Special Operations Command and is a member of the National Research Council Committee for Assessment of Non-Lethal Weapons Science and Technology.

Grant Cameron (Canada)
became involved in extraterrestrial-related phenomena research in May 1975 with a personal sighting near Carman, Manitoba about 25 miles north of the Canada-US border.  Over the next 18 months hundreds of sightings were reported, and Grant spent months photographing a series of strange objects and interviewing hundreds of witnesses who were involved.  Thus began a 28 years commitment to the subject

After composing a manuscript about the 1975-76 sightings, he moved on to research the work of the legendary Wilbert B. Smith. Smith headed up the Canadian government’s flying saucer investigation known as Project Magnet, which ran from 1950 to 1954.  Over two decades Cameron was able to collect most of Smith’s files and written materials.  He interviewed most of the associates around Smith who worked on the flying saucer investigation.  He produced a CD-Rom data disk with most of the documents from the Smith files along with 12 hours of audio related to Smith's work.  During the Smith research Grant learned of the former Penn State University president Dr. Eric Walker, who was identified by Dr. Robert Sarbacher as a key person inside the Cover-up.  Cameron teamed up with T. Scott Crain to research and write UFOs, MJ-12, and the Government published by MUFON.

Cameron then turned his research interests to the relationship of U.S. Presidents to the extraterrestrial issue.  He made 13 trips to the U.S. National Archives and most of the Presidential archives looking for relevant documents.   A major contribution of his work was a FOIA submission to the White House Office of Science and Technology which yielded nearly 1,000 pages of disclosure documents from the Clinton administration.

He has lectured in Canada and the U. S. on the 1975-76 Manitoba sightings, Wilbert Smith and the president/UFO connection.   He lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

Richard Dolan
studied history, English, and philosophy as an undergraduate at Alfred University.  His deep passion for the discipline of history resulted in a scholarship to study at Oxford University and a near miss for a Rhodes Scholarship.  He chose instead to do graduate work at the University of Rochester, where he focused on German and Soviet studies before moving on to American Cold War diplomacy.   Not wanting to teach, he left academia to write.   In 1994 he became interested in the UFO problem, approaching it from the angle of history and politics.  He was intrigued by the cultural schizophrenia - the fact that mainstream and academic culture (official culture) continued to treat UFOs as amusement, but that so many intelligent people privately had taken it seriously.

Terry Hansen
is an independent journalist and magazine publisher with an interest in scientific controversies and the politics of mass media. He has followed the UFO controversy for decades and has written about it for various media.  In addition, he has organized and moderated two symposiums about The Science and Politics of the UFO Research for the Science Museum of Minnesota. He has spoken about the news media's role in the UFO controversy on various national radio and television shows including Dreamland and the History Channel. Hansen holds a bachelor's degree in biology and a master's degree in science journalism, both from the University of Minnesota. He is retired from the magazine-publishing industry and now lives in the Canadian Gulf Islands with his wife Jess.      

The Missing Times: News Media Complicity in the UFO Cover-up is an investigation into whether some of America's most influential news organizations, many of which have maintained close ties to the U.S. intelligence community, have willingly suppressed full and accurate news coverage of the UFO phenomenon for a variety of national-security reasons. After a case study of news coverage about UFO encounters at Montana nuclear-missile facilities, Hansen reveals the remarkable and persistent difference in UFO-related news coverage exhibited by local and national news organizations. The author then reviews the history of  censorship and propaganda during the twentieth century. He explains how and why elite news organizations work closely with government agencies during times of national crisis, and reviews the evidence for such media-government collusion over the course of the  half-century-long UFO controversy.

C. B. "Scott" Jones, PhD
is is founder and president of the Peace and Emergency Action Coalition for Earth.  The principal function of P.E.A.C.E. is to oversee the development of the global Center for Sustainable Peace and Development system.   Previous to this he was co-founder and president of the Human Potential Foundation.  This was established in 1989, and conducted research into all conditions of humankind:  physiological, psychological and spiritual, to assist the individual to achieve the highest levels of human potential in body, mind and spirit in order to compete and cooperate at personal excellence throughout life.  Prior to this position he was Special Assistant to Senator Claiborne Pell from January 1985 until March 1991.  Retiring as a Commander in the U.S. Navy, approximately half of his thirty-year naval career was spent in intelligence service overseas and in the United States.  In post-navy careers he has taught at the university level and worked in the private sector research and development community involved in U.S. government sponsored projects for the Defense Nuclear Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency, U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command, and other organizations.

Human Potential Foundation

In 1989, he and Senator Claiborne Pell co-founded the Human Potential Foundation that was involved in a number of research projects.  These included a joint effort with the Chinese Academy of Somatic Science in Beijing, in accelerated bone healing using qi gong; a sponsored symposium conducted by Russian medical scientists on psychoanalytical and psychocorrection computer technologies; a survey of attitudes of medical professionals toward death and the dying process and how these are translated into decisions about treatment of critical and terminal patients; the translation from Chinese of the book: Collected Works on Qi Gong Science.

Under the Center for Interspecies Communications, the Foundation conducted Projects Neptune Helper I and II, dolphin research with Atlantic Bottlenose and Spotted dolphins.

A major two-year program funded by Laurance Rockefeller was completed with an international conference, When Cosmic Cultures Meet, in Washington, D.C. in May 1995.  At the conference a wide spectrum of academic disciplines and interests assessed the implications, preparations and responses for the time when there is no ambiguity about the understanding that higher intelligences from cosmic cultures are meeting.

In November 1998, the Human Potential Foundation was dissolved and its principal undertaking, a global peace initiative, transferred to the newly established Peace and Emergency Action Coalition for Earth, Inc.

Joyce Libutti (Documentary - Odyssey)
is a native New Yorker who spent several years as a flight attendant before moving to Paris where she developed a deep interest in metaphysics and traveled the world.  After raising her three children she moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico.  She founded her production company, Saint Germain Productions, with a focus on the development of uplifting feature films and documentaries based on metaphysical, spiritual and inspirational themes.  She has sought to constantly renew her life by "thinking outside the box."

After having seen a film called Touched which focused on alien abduction, Joyce was inspired to produce a documentary presenting "the other side of the story " by way of her own experiences with phenomena and extraterrestrial beings of benevolent nature who are technologically advanced and spiritually evolved.  Her films address the possibility of coexistence of an ethereal nature that is presented in a manner of benevolence, devoid of agenda other than our willingness to release personal prejudice, self-absorption and manipulative dishonesty that only serves to further erode the stability of our planet.  Her documentaries raise the question of how much further we can go as a race, without outside assistance, to bring about positive planetary changes that begin within our very selves.

Jesse Marcel, Jr., MD
is the son of the first military officer on the scene of the Roswell UFO crash of 1947 and is the most recognized first-hard witness to the events of that time.    His father, Jesse Marcel Sr., reported bringing home parts of the wreckage the he and Jesse, Jr. examined.   This wreckage included a piece of metal that when balled up or it's shape was changed it would expand back to it's original form as well as several structural pieces known as” I- beams” which had hieroglyphic symbols.

He has steadfastly repeated his recollection of that time in numerous interviews and wrote about his experiences then and since in the book, The Roswell Legacy.  He is one of 200 witnesses to the events of July 1947, but his story has received international attention in no small part because Dr. Marcel, Jr. has led an exemplary life and his integrity is without question.

Education:  His pre-med undergraduate work was accomplished at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana followed by LSU School of Medicine at New Orleans, Louisiana graduating in July of 1961 with a degree in medicine.   His internship was done at the Charity Hospital, New Orleans, Louisiana.

Dr. Marcel joined the US Navy in 1962 and was assigned to the USS Renville (APA 227) and shortly there after participated in the Cuban Missile Crisis attached to combat units as member of ship's company.  The Renville then sailed for West Pac and then to the South East Pacific Area where it participated in combat training in case of enemy attack on the ship.  After the West Pac tour, he completed specialty training in Otolaryngology at the Naval Hospital, San Diego, California.  He retired from the Navy in July of 1971 and entered private practice in Helena, Montana.   He then joined the Montana Army National Guard in 1973, went through helicopter flight training as a flight surgeon at Ft. Rucker, Alabama earning his wings in 1981.  During his career in the National Guard, he was appointed State Surgeon of the State of Montana and retired from the military the second time in August of 1996 on his 60th birthday.  Dr. Marcel was called back to active duty in Iraq in October of 2004 shortly after his 68th birthday and consequently served as a flight surgeon for the 189th Attack Helicopter Battalion flying 225 hrs of combat while in country being discharged again from active duty in December of 2005 to the Ready Reserve.

He currently employed as a specialist in Otolaryngology at the Veterans Administration Hospital, Ft. Harrison, Montana
