Note: Invitations to Speak at Two International UFOlogy Conferences


Well, it is that time of the year again! I have just received an invitation from the organizers of the UFOlogy World Congress (which is purported to be the largest international UFO conference in the world) to speak at their annual conference to be held in Barcelona, Spain in September of this year.

And, is so often the case, I have also been invited once again this year by the organizers to speak at a private "elite" invitation-only annual UFO conference that is held annually in the mountain areas near Dulce, NM.

As most of you likely already know, I have little patience for "nuts-and-bolts" UFO/UAP theories, and even less patience for UFO/UAP conferences (and also for "free energy"/"overunity energy" conferences!), and even far less patience with "True Believers" in the above-mentioned UFO/UAP and "free energy" theories.

It seems that the reasons (all of them bizarre to me...) why the organizers always invite me to speak at these conferences is because they believe one or more of the theories/legends that have been going around the UFO/UAP/ET-alien conspiracy theory world and the "free energy"/"overunity energy" conspiracy theory world for years:

1) that I am, and have been since the mid-1960s, best friends with the Venusian visitor Valiant Thor. For the uninitiated, the UFO/UAP/ET-alien conspiracy theorists have been obsessed with Valiant Thor for many years, since at least the early 1950s; they believe that he is a friendly near-immortal humanoid visitor from Venus who first arrived on Earth in the late 1930s to act as an adviser to Western governments on relations between Earth and alien-ET cultures and groups. They also believe that he is over 640 years old, and that he, like all of his race, ages only very slowly, and so, they claim, he still has the appearance of a 42 year-old human male.

2) Then, in a closely-related vein, there is the thankfully smaller minority of Valiant Thor-obsessed UFO/UAP/alien conspiracy theories who believe that I myself am Valiant Thor and living here on Earth under the "Vinny Pinto" identity. This whole particular conspiracy theory seemed to start around 2010, when two or three different youngish (20 to 30 years old) female UFO/UAP/ET-alien conspiracy theorists published posts on various social media websites claiming to have "proven", via putative studies of photos of Valiant Thor purportedly taken between 1938 and 1955, that I myself am Valiant Thor! I personally continue to believe that these young UFOlogist women published these social media posts as friendly warm-hearted jokes, but that the UFO/UAP/ET-alien worlds, which are LOADED with folks who exhibit very low intelligence along with very high levels of credulity and gullibility, and very low levels of discernment and common-sense, immediately seized upon these playful posts and took them as Gospel.

3) Then there are the folks from the "free energy"/"overunity energy" conspiracy theory worlds who insist upon continuing to believe the bizarre theory developed and promoted by Dr. Andrija Puharich, the UFO/paranormal/fringe science/free energy researcher (and "discoverer" of Uri Geller) in the early and mid-1980s to the effect that I was likely the reincarnation of Nikola Tesla and that I "surely" had in my possession numerous long-lost secret documents, drawings and charts created by Nikola Tesla that contained all of the secrets of "free energy" (he had been assured of this latter "fact", he said, by the Council of Nine and the alien AI supercomputer that he and Uri Geller called by the names Hoova / Spectra (located on an alien ship located billions of light from years from Earth in an alternate universe...!))
BTW, you may read more about my early-and mid-1980s experiences with Dr. Andrija Puharich and his claims about me at the following page on one of my websites:

4) Then there are the folks from the UFO and "free energy"/"overunity energy" conspiracy theory worlds who insist upon continuing to believe the bizarre claims made by conspiracy theorists to the effect that I possess/own the secret tech for many different types of "free energy" (aka overunity energy) devices!

The Bottom Line
The bottom line is that I always politely decline each of these invitations from each of these organizations to speak at their annual "international" conferences!
