3. Huffington Post has an article about the conference

This is an update from Leslie Kean's Facebook page. The article is by Lee Speigel, who frequently writes about UFOs for Huffington Post. Note that the article is in Huffpost's Weird News section. Yeah, like Rodney Dangerfield, we don't get no respect!

Kent Senter is a man racing against time.

The 59-year-old resident of Burlington, N.C., has terminal multiple myeloma, a cancer that attacks bone marrow. Despite that, this weekend, he'll be focused on the number one item at the top of his bucket list: to organize, sponsor and host an international UFO conference.

It's no easy task. Adding to the daily challenges of his illness, Senter has quickly pulled together an intriguing symposium over the past few months in a competitive climate where, between now and the end of the year, another dozen UFO-related conferences are scheduled around the U.S.

On June 29 and 30, 12 speakers -- with backgrounds in science, military, academia, sociology, investigative journalism, including government officials of Chile and France -- will come together for Senter's 2013 Symposium On Official And Scientific Investigations Of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, at the Greensboro War Memorial Auditorium in Greensboro, NC.

Most of the article is about Kent Senter; however, there are some interesting videos and a radar image from the radarscope of a Belgian F16 that was scrambled to track an unidentified object.
