01, FYI, there is another interesting FREE symposium on Nov 08, at George Washington University in Washington DC, sponsored
by the Sci Fi Channel. The theme is: "Interstellar Travel and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena: Science Fiction or Science
Fact?". Here is the invite: Dear Friend: We would like to invite you to attend a symposium exploring the potential for
interstellar travel and the evidence of unidentified aerial phenomena, sometimes referred to as UFOs. The symposium will be
hosted by The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. on November 8, 2002 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM and will take
place in the Continental Ballroom on the third floor of George Washington University’s Marvin Center. The Marvin Center is
located at 800 21st Street between H and I streets. It is our hope that this symposium, which is sponsored by Sci Fi Channel,
will provide attendees with a scientific understanding of how interstellar travel might be possible and highlight the need
for a thorough scientific investigation of unidentified aerial phenomena. The speakers are: Dr. Michio Kaku, professor of
theoretical physics at the City College at the City University of New York; Dr. Richard Henry, professor of astrophysics at
Johns Hopkins University; Dr. Peter Sturrock, emeritus professor of applied physics at Stanford; Dr. Jacques Vallee,
astrophysicist and computer scientist, now in private sector; Dr. Bernard Haisch, Director for the California Institute for
Physics and Astrophysics; Ted Roe, Executive Director of the National Aviation Reporting Center for Anomalous Phenomena; and
John Callahan, former Division Chief of Accidents and Investigations for the FAA. Following a brief welcome from Dr.
Donald Lehman, Vice President for Academic Affairs of The George Washington University each speaker will make a presentation
regarding their area of expertise. Following the presentations, the moderator, Ray Suarez, senior correspondent with The
Newshour with Jim Lehrer with will pose questions to the speakers. We will then provide an opportunity for a general question
and answer session for members of the press and the public. The symposium is free of charge. However, seating is limited
and pre-registration is required. Please call Cynthia Determan at (202) 879-9309 by November 1st to RSVP for the event. We
look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, Ed Rothschild Principal |
