Graham Hancock Graham Hancock Ancient Exopolitics and Modern Shamanism. Judging from the abundant evidence of ancient cave art from all parts of the world, encounters with aliens and UFO's are nothing new. Humanity has been visited, taught and nurtured by non-terrestrial beings for at least 35,000 years, and these contacts have had been fundamental to the development and progress of our species. But there is a mystery. The same beings and vehicles depicted in the cave art also occur in the much more recent art of surviving shamanistic peoples still living today in remote regions such as the Amazon and the Kalahari. Even more mysteriously, similar experiences and imagery are reported by Western lab volunteers, placed experimentally under the influence of hallucinogens such as DMT, psilocybin, mescaline and LSD. The common factor, which is also fundamental to all forms of shamanism, appears to be altered states of consciousness and, crucially, this does NOT suggest that these experiences are in any way "unreal". On the contrary the evidence supports the hypothesis that in deeply altered states of consciousness the receiver wavelength of the brain is altered to allow us to tune into and interact with beings from other levels and dimensions of reality. These beings, Hancock argues, are the ancient teachers of mankind. Though much of modern civilization is in a state of rigid denial the fact is that they are still very much in contact with us today. These contacts, and how we as a society react to them - are as fundamental to the future of our species now as they were 35,000 years ago.

Art Campbell and Manuel Kirklin Art Campbell and Manuel Kirklin Eisenhower and the ET’s. Art Campbell Brings with him to this years X-Conference an astounding story backed up with witness testimony. Manuel Kirklin, was an Air Force Medic and high altitude chamber specialist stationed at Holloman AFB in 1955. Kirklin details several eye witness reports of President Eisenhower at Holloman on or about February 11th, 1955 in Ike's third year of his first term. After Ike's arrival at Holloman, two UFOs flew over the flight line; one landed near Iks's plane, Columbine III, and Ike went aboard. What was intriguing about the incident was that the President snuck away from thirty or so reporters while on a bird hunt near Thomasville GA during high international tension over Formosa (Taiwan). Campbell's investigation includes information through guards assigned to the president, the complete flight records and two additional independent witnesses on video tape.
While Campbell and Kirkland have presented on many radio shows, this will be their first presentation together at a major conference.

Nick Pope and Milton Torres Nick Pope and Milton Torres Exopolitics and Events in The United Kingdom. Britain is at the center of a UFO firestorm. The Ministry of Defense (MoD) is in the process of releasing decades worth of UFO files, packed with thousands of fascinating cases, including UFOs seen by police officers and pilots, and UFOs being tracked on radar. There are also files from the Defense Intelligence Staff, some of which contain documents that were classified Secret UK Eyes Only. Simultaneously, figures released by the MoD show that UFO sightings have rocketed to a 10-year high. There have been several spectacular UFO sightings in the UK recently, including two near misses between UFOs and police helicopters, and the incident where a UFO was thought to have collided with a wind turbine. Interestingly, far from ignoring or ridiculing all this, the UK media have given the subject unprecedented coverage, with mainstream coverage including a feature on Britain's most prestigious news program, the BBC's Newsnight. Britain's best-selling national daily newspaper, The Sun, have run a UFO story as their main front page headline twice in the past few months and have an ongoing campaign to keep the subject in the public eye. Nick Pope has found himself at the center of this media attention and is invariably asked to comment. Intriguingly, this hasn't just been in the UK. Nick was commissioned to write an op-ed on UFOs for the New York Times. He has also been interviewed on the ABC News show Nightline and the Fox News program America's Newsroom. Nick will update X-Conference attendees on all this and speculate what it all means, and where we go from here.

Dr. Michael Salla Dr. Michael Salla Obama and Disclosures. On January 21, the first full day after his inauguration, President Obama issued two Presidential Memoranda and an Executive Order outlining his approach to promoting the principles of Open Government and Transparency. At a Press Conference he said that his administration “is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government.” President Obama has made it very clear that Open Government and Transparency will be signature issues of his administration. In choosing these signature issues, President Obama was greatly influenced by the co-Chair of his transition team, and former Clinton Chief of Staff, John Podesta. Podesta led Clinton administration efforts to promote Open Government by declassifying many millions of national security files that were unnecessarily kept secret. Podesta was especially in favor of declassifying national security files dealing with UFOs. In this presentation I will show why former Clinton era officials are behind a renewed effort to disclose UFO files. I will also reveal how and why they are receiving support from an unlikely source – the U.S. Navy.

Paola Harris Paola Harris The Role of Hollywood and the Media in the Disclosure Process. This presentation will suggest that Hollywood films and high profile entertainment personalities and could be part of a slow process of acclimating the general public that ?we are not alone? in the Universe. Governmental intervention starting with Disney and the Hollywood film industry has been part of a subtle disclosure process that may lead us to the truth. The advent of famous rock stars and movie personalities such as Robbie Williams and German?s Nina Hagen demonstrate that they too wish to carry the banner to push this agenda forward. Film Clips , TV shows like Kyle XY, Sci-Fi scripts and print media are becoming mainstream and advancing the disclosure process.
