It will be 66 years and three days since the first 'flying saucer' sighting. We have gathered a panel of UFO investigators and experts and asked them their ideas of the reality, meaning and significance of the UFO phenomena. Each will give a short presentation of their view of UFOs and then, after a trip to the bar, we open up the floor for a discussion on this perennially contentious issue.
The panel will include:
•Robert Moore: UFO co-ordinator for the Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena
•John Rimmer of Magonia Magazine and blog and author of The Evidence for Alien Abduction
•Matt Lyons: Chairman of the British UFO Research Association

All are welcome. come and listen in or join the debate about UFOs ideas.

 Each LFS evening begins with the Fortmanteau, our monthly summary of strange news stories
