No, there isn't one planned. The question is: why not?  If they can do it
at Berkeley, why can't we coordinate something like that here?  After my
letter you will find the posting about the Berkeley Symposium.  I'd like to
propose that somehow we bring about a similar symposium here in the east,
preferably in PA, since that 's where I live.  Why does CA and the West have
everything?

This is a call for ideas, volunteers, speakers, workers, locations, helpers,
attendees, any and all who want to get involved!  Please reply either via
private email or let's get this discussion going here, alright?

          The Society for the Advancement of Civilization Presents:

             Extraterrestrial Contact The Meaning and The Message

                 Saturday, October 10, 1992 10:00am to 9:30pm
                 Physical Sciences Lecture Hall, UC Berkeley
                 At Gayley Road across from the Greek Theater

A public forum on the legitimate scientific  inquiry  into  one  of  the  most
controversial  issues  facing our planet today. Why does extraterrestrial con-
tact have value for the people of  Earth?  There  are  increasing  numbers  of
aware,  articulate  people  from  a variety of professional and cultural back-
grounds who have been contacted by extraterrestrials. Come, hear and  meet  an
impressive   group  of  research  experts  and  persons  who  have  had  close
encounters.

R. Leo Sprinkle, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Psychology, University of  Wyom-
ing, Laramie, where he was director of counseling services, and founder of the
Institute for UFO Contactee Studies, is an early investigator of  hundreds  of
Close  Encounter  cases beginning in 1955. He served with APRO as a consultant
for psychology and is the principle investigator of the John Salter  case.  He
is the organizer of the Annual Rocky Mountain UFO Conference.

James A. Harder, Ph. D., Professor Emeritus  of  Engineering,  U.C.  Berkeley,
pioneered  the  use  of  hypnosis in close-encounter cases since 1962, and the
study of E.T./human interactions and their influences on this planet. He  will
describe  emerging information about the characteristics of advanced civiliza-
tions and how this information could help inspire us to a more hopeful view of
Earth.

John Salter, Ph. D., Professor of Indian Studies Univ. of North  Dakota,  will
lead  several people with close encounter experiences in a round table discus-
sion. Dr. Salter will also tell of  his  own  continuing  encounters.  He  was
featured  in  the May 1991, CBS prime time special "Visitors from the Unknown"
He teaches a very popular university  course  which  accepts  the  reality  of
extraterrestrial contact.

Richard F. Haines, Ph.D., Psychologist and research scientist. His interest in
discovering  the  core  nature  of  UFO phenomenon spans 20 years with special
interest in sightings by pilots, photo analysis, and CE4. He recently  founded
and co-directs the Joint American- Soviet Aerial Anomaly Federation.

Richard J. Boylan, Ph.D., A psychologist in private practice. He has  assisted
in the understanding and the integration of ET experiences into everyday life.
He will speak about the "mind field" of new information developing  for  those
with extraterrestrial close encounters and for the Society of Planet Earth.

Cathy W., A California person with some very interesting close encounters, and
whose    events    were    thoroughly    recorded    by    a    well-    known
researcher/investigator. Her experiences were shown  in  a  documentary  on  a
prime-time NBC program.

A special two hour question and answer period in the evening will be hosted by
the participants in the above program.

A special multi-media presentation of ET close encounter experiences will also
be presented.

Doors open at 9:15 am. Events begin at 10:00 am and end at 9:30  pm.  Cost  is
$30.00.  Free  educational  video  with  reservations received by October 6th,
