International UFO Congress – 2017!

By 2 Comments

The Founder of the Utah UFO Fest, Nathan Cowlishaw, will be traveling down to the 26th annual International UFO Congress in Fountain Hills, Arizona on February 15-19th, 2017 and will be helping the event with photography. We are enthusiastic for Spring and moving forward with plans for the 2nd annual Utah UFO Fest. We are still grass-roots and just starting off but we plan to have the fest the third weekend of June every year which is also Father’s Day Weekend. We figure since there’s camping involved, Fathers are always welcome to bring their sons camping at the event with a weekend of discussions surrounding ET and UFOs.

We are welcoming vendors at this year’s event but are requesting a suggested donation $50-100 dollar to help cover costs of the event. As usual, we are also keeping the event free to the public and would appreciate contributions from you as well!

Stay tuned for when Nate Cowlishaw returns from the International UFO Congress and reports back!

Caravan to Area 51 on June 18th

By Leave a Comment

On June 18th, 2016 after our event is cleaned up at Three Peaks Recreation Area, we will be leaving around High Noon to Area 51 and Rachel, Nevada. Little does the general public know that Cedar City, Utah, is closer to this alleged Alien Base than Las Vegas, Nevada. We also have unconfirmed employees that work at the secret government installation living in our humble little town.

So as part of the fest, we are going to journey out to Rachel, Nevada, for the afternoon. Every one who wishes to participate in the caravan simply needs to follow Nathan Cowlishaw, the Founder, out there with their own vehicle, gasoline and resources. It’s 150 miles to Rachel, Nevada from Cedar City, Utah, so please prepare ahead of time if you plan to join us on this route. We will be making a few pitstops along the way at a Junction and in Caliente, Nevada, and then near Alamo, Nevada near the Junction of Nevada State Highway 375 aka The Extraterrestrial Highway!

I called Pat, owner of the Little Ale’Inn and gave her a heads up that we are headed out her way and to be ready for us! She’s looking forward to our arrival.

So plan for about 350 miles when all is said-and-done. Again, the festival is not asking you to be apart of the group. You are simply “stalking” Nate and tailing him out to Area 51! This is simply your own choice and you embark on this journey at your own risk! Make sure to bring plenty of water for potential radiator problems or in case you get thirsty in the desert.

See you all at the innagural Utah UFO Fest, Friday Night!!!

Dear Fans and Supporters of the Utah UFO Festival. In an effort to make your festival more fun for you, we are moving the entire event outdoors this June, under the stars, where we can have bonfires, camping, star parties, and all sorts of activities where researchers and UFO enthusiasts can meet-up, network, and celebrate the possibility of Extraterrestrial Life.

The Buzz is Happening About Utah UFO Tours.

Talking Tree Tours

Nathan Cowlishaw, also known as Talking Tree, along with his brother, Joseph Cowlishaw having been working together as the Cowlishaw Brothers to form Anomaly Conservatory, a 501c3 Nonprofit educational organization currently in pending status. We are finished with all fees and paperwork to get our organization off the ground. As a way to raise funds for the first-annual Utah UFO Festival we focused our daily efforts on creating multiple-day Southwestern UFO Tours to span from one day to several days. We are brainstorming new itineraries for tours that will involve places like the Grand Canyon National Park. Yes, we will include many scenic locations for photographers to travel, some of which are only known to Talking Tree. We are story tellers, and interpreters who are fascinated with UFO mythology, legends, as well as real research into the ET Phenomenon. Whether you believe or not, it’s okay to open your mind to the topic as it is a subject worth serious conversation. We want to nurture the UFO folklore that has become so ingrained in Southwestern Culture. It’s apart of our history and we believe human beings need to start watching the skies more. That’s why we are different from your run-of-the-mill tour operation. We live in a mysterious universe and the American Southwest is an already incredibly beautiful and mystical place.

Excuse Me! It’s “Life Levitated” not “Life Elevated!”

By 1 Comment

All this time the state of Utah has printed on it’s license plates; “Life Elevated” when in actuality it’s “Life Levitated” because of all the anomalies in the skies from chrome colored flying saucers to orange orbs at night; Utah has been a teaming hot-bed of anomalous activity comparable to a Steven Spielberg movie. Our state contains one of America’s biggest paranormal hotspots, the Skinwalker Ranch up in Fort Duchesne, Utah, in the Southeastern part of the state. The Uintah Basin itself is home to both extraordinary UFO and bigfoot sightings. Adventurers go missing every year in the Uintah Mountains and Book Cliffs and people have disappeared without a trace in many other secluded spots of Utah’s backcountry. We have a state full of mysteries and unexplained happenings.

The Utah UFO Fest will have its haters, detractors and critics but we will stay the course because we know a lot of YOU believe in the many things that cannot be explained about our strange world. We are not the Cedar City UFO Fest because this is a state-wide celebration for Utah. We want to promote Utah as part of the event’s marketing. We want to grow as one of Utah’s most popular festivals in the coming years and with your help, we can achieve this as we continue to grow our small army! Life in our state is truly LEVITATED!

We Are Now Booking Wild West Area 51 Tours! :)

We finally found a solution for booking our Wild West #Area51 Tours to Pioche and Rachel, Nevada and beyond. We teamed up with FareHarbor who was willing to help us get their proprietary booking system set-up and integrated with the Utah UFO Festival’s website. We have tours already available for booking and will be adding a few more tour itineraries to the main queue this weekend.

We want to offer something a little more curious and unique than the regular national parks tours that are offered around the American Southwest like a Grand Circle experience but with a lot more zing. It will be different and we are passionate about it!

We have been busy brainstorming the goals and future of the Utah UFO Festival as well as what we want achieve with Anomaly Conservatory. Our vision and foundation is educational. We want to teach people about what we know and what we are passionate about. We are going to be offering a variety of different tours through the foundation which includes the Greater Desert Southwest.

Anomaly Conservatory is going to offer a 7-day tour that takes people out to the Navajo Nation and to the Four Corners region and onto points of interest like Roswell, and the Very Large Array telescope out in South-central New Mexico. We will also be offering a 3-4 day Kingman/Sedona UFO-Hotspot tour in Arizona-land. Why are we offering these? Because we want to be different from every other run-of-the-mill tourism operation and we believe in the Great Unknown!  Rather than scripted tours;We are passionate story tellers who are really interested in this stuff.

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! ;)
