Featured Event: Ike's Trip to
Hollomon AFB to see Alien Craft
LOS ANGELES - UFO Crash at
San Augustin Lecture. Author Art Campbell explores the
possible role of President Eisenhower in the UFO phenomenon. It
was February, 1955--the world was poised on the brink of
international crisis: Eisenhower had just threatened the Red
Chinese that if they invade Formosa (Taiwan), they face the
threat of nuclear war. Our allies were concerned and angry, and
the Russians were ready to explode their first megaton H-bomb.
With all this international tension, Ike said he was going bird
hunting in Georgia! (Ike also liked to golf. See his
bright red leather golf bag, part of the Newport Beach
Sports Museum presidential golf bag collection.) The cover story. Eye-witnesses stated that
Eisenhower actually detoured to New Mexico’s Holloman Air Force
base, just as the base radar was shut down
and two UFOs were seen coming low into the air base? Follow the
trail of testimony and supporting evidence for the hypothesis
that Ike was involved in a UFO crisis just as the U.S. was ready
to go to war. Time: 8 p.m. Location:
Unitarian Universalist Church, (Inside the Fellowship Hall),
12355 Moorpark St., Studio City, CA 91604.
Cost: $15/person. Call: (818) 483-0864. mufonla.com
