Cherry Creek Radio (KSUB) at Area 51

By Leave a Comment

The video below is Tim and Bryan of Cherry Creek Radio and KSUB with the Cowlishaw Brothers out at Area 51. They had a chance to let us show them around the North Gate Boundary of the secret military base.

Cedar City, Utah is the gateway to Dreamland aka Area 51. The nearest town closest to Area 51 is Rachel, Nevada, and the only commercial establishment out there is the world famous Little Ale’Inn known for their delicious Alien Burger. Residents of this small community routinely travel to Cedar City, Utah, to stock up on supplies including the Little Ale’Inn.

We are excited to be networking with the citizens of Rachel, Nevada and we are also very grateful for Cherry Creek Radio helping us on the festival. Tim and Bryan are quite adventurous and we are lucky to have them on the radio daily in Southern Utah.

We are treating this as found footage because we didn’t intend to post or publish! ;)

Current Status of the Utah UFO Festival

The Utah UFO Fest would love to ask for donations for the event coming up in June but we are now a 501c3 Nonprofit in pending status so we cannot do so. However we can accept donations if they are sent our way. We will have more details to come. Inspired by Pixar’s movie, The incredibles! ;)

Our Manifesto for Anomaly Conservatory and the Utah UFO Festival

By Leave a Comment

Our vision as an organization is to challenge the assumption in our community and society on the view that mankind is alone in the universe and that we are the only intelligent civilization in the cosmos. We also believe in a possibility that we are being visited by intelligent life not from our own planet, Earth. We are a research foundation dedicated to changing the cultural landscape of our society through community engagement and to bring about an evolutionary change for the betterment of our own community and our neighbors. It is self-evident that we are not alone in the universe and therefore we need to work diligently to persuade the general population of this fact. We exist to educate people about full-disclosure and first-contact!

We see many different anomalous activities happening in the realm of science within the exploration of the cosmos and during the search for extraterrestrial life. We also believe that these beings may not be that much different than ourselves. We may not understand fully all the anomalous phenomena surrounding the research, neither do physical scientists, physicists, and astronomers but we will gather all of our data from the most solid cited sources. We will facilitate community events, seminars and gatherings dedicated to the research and to educating our general public. Our foundation takes a sociological and anthropological approach regarding the research methods used to interpreting both the qualitative and quantitative data that will be used.

  • The truth that is self-evident is that we are not alone in the universe. We arrived at this conclusion because of a myriad of events such as the historical Roswell Incident, and many other anomalous historical events, along with a strong cultural interest in the subject matter from our community. We feel that this subject will have a huge impact on society and we wish to prepare and educate our community in preparation of this evolution.
  • The change that we believe is possible is a major cultural shift as we move from a planetary political structure to an exopolitical reality associated with the cosmos and communicating through diplomacy with other intelligent civilizations. It may sound silly but wait until it is a reality; we are naturally inclined to doubt.
  • We want our audience to embrace this with an open-mind and heart as we work through the secular and religious implications of such an existence so that they are better prepared to embrace them. We exist to create avenues that better prepare us for these new frontiers.

 

Major UPDATE for the Festival

By Leave a Comment

This is good and bad news; after networking today and reaching out to various organizations – We’ve decided to reschedule the first annual Utah UFO Festival for a later date to make sure it is a complete success in it’s first year. We’ve talked to both chapters of Arizona and Utah MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) whom have agreed to help us more on an organizational level after heeding their advice. The new preliminary date for the festival is going to be June of 2016. We wanted to get this news out sooner rather than later so our supporters are informed as early as possible.

Please leave your feedback or criticisms if you would like. We’ve got a thick skin and would like to know what you think…

Heading to the International UFO Congress

UFO Congress by Open Minds TV

This morning, I’m getting ready to travel down to the International UFO Congress in Fountain Hills, Arizona, just shy North of Scottsdale. It will be a four day hosted event and I will be one of the event photographers. I’m pretty excited to be networking and meeting with people who study flying saucers and aliens and hop to capture some great photos for Open Minds TV.

George Knapp and Bob Lazar will be presenting as well, with a Q&A session. Bob is the man who allegedly brought the spot light to Area 51 and S-4 and George Knapp is an established investigative journalist out of Las Vegas whose maintained a neutral but favorable stance on the UFO Phenomena and even Bob Lazar’s claims that the government is back engineering ET saucer technology. Most recently, George co-authored a book about a remote ranch in Fort Duchesne; one of Utah’s most paranormal hotspots titled; “Hunt for the Skinwalker” which documents a ranching family’s encounters with strange orbs, UFOs, and alien beings on their newly acquired retreat over an 18 month period, after relocating from New Mexico. The news of these bizarre and spooky events hit national headlines which led to the book.

The evidence for these mysteries are numerous, from cattle mutilations, to lights in the sky on the Navajo Reservation in Northern Arizona. The UFO Phenomenon has long played an integral part of the history and folklore of the American Southwest. Why rule out the possibility that some of these anomalies may in fact be real? I have had my own experiences but I approach the topic from an optimistic approach. I tend to consider the pessimistic arguments about the phenomenon and try to overlook a lot of the negative. Yes, some people declare these alien visitors as hostile and evil. I tend to look the other way at all these evil humans. There could be several benevolent and malevolent entities visiting our Earth but there has to be a silver lining of good behind every dark cloud and what I’m searching for is the truth. Just as the fact that not every human is evil, so is reality of extraterrestrials. This is why I decided to start a festival in Utah, so we could begin discussing the possibilities and I’m on side of the argument approaches this phenomenon with enthusiasm instead of paranoia!

I hope upon my return from this journey that I’ll have some solid contacts for the Utah UFO Festival which is the reason I’m going on this journey and get some take some excellent photos for Open Minds! I’m grateful that they have given me this opportunity to do some photography for them.
