- Annual Aztec UFO Symposium
The UFO Symposium
is a yearly conference held in Aztec where a UFO crash was reported
in March 1948, just 9 months after the Roswell incident. The
space craft and the dead aliens aboard were reported to have
been taken away by the Army and the incident covered up by the
government. The symposium objective is to bring serious researchers
in to discuss UFOs, aliens, sightings, alien abductions and encounters,
government cover-ups, New Mexico UFOs, pictures and videos of
ufos, crop circles, cattle mutilations, underground bases and
more. Our Mission for the UFO 2007 Symposium is to have discussions
on the UFO - Alien phenomenon and the alleged UFO crash that
occurred 12 miles outside of Aztec in Hart Canyon and other UFO
and Alien stories that invite investigation. Speakers, networking,
food. Visit the Web site at: www.aztecufo.com
