ABOUT THE PRESENTERS

Dr. Aaron Judkins is known as the “Maverick Archaeologist.”  He is an author and film producer known for the documentary theatrical film, Finding Noah. Important projects include excavations at the Pool of Siloam in Jerusalem, the Search for Noah’s Ark, and the discovery of Dead Sea Scroll Cave 12 in Qumran, Israel.  He has also mapped the longest contiguous dinosaur trackway in North America in Glen Rose, Texas and solved the Los Lunas Mystery Stone in New Mexico. He hosts his own YouTube show called FringePop 321.  His new book, called Decoding Gobekli Tepe: Biblical Anatolia and the Watchers, is the #1 new release on Amazon in archaeology.

Desta Barnabe is a researcher and the author of A Glimpse into Infinity: Channeled Messages Beyond Time and Mirroring Worlds: Channeled Reflections from Higher Dimensions. In 2012, Desta had a close-up UFO sighting and believed this put her on the path of being able to channel. Messages come through her from various beings, some claiming to be ETs. Many of these messages are published in her two books. She has spent most of her adult life studying numerous forms of energy work, healing modalities, and psychic abilities. She now works using dowsing, regression hypnotherapy (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique or QHHT), reiki, psychic investigation, remote viewing, and physical mediumship. She also helps others publish their books and manages YouTube channels that discuss topics ranging from consciousness to the paranormal world.

Paola Harris is an Italo-American photojournalist and investigative reporter in the field of extraterrestrial related phenomena research. She is also a widely published, free-lance writer, especially in Europe. She has studied extraterrestrial related phenomena since 1979 and is on personal terms with many of the leading researchers in the field. Website: paolaharris.com

What to bring:

NOTE: If you are flying into DIA, you may want to plan a stop at a grocery store/Target/Walmart on your way to Crestone as it is a small town with limited supplies.
 
  • Clothing layers: It will be hot during the day and cold at night, so bring plenty of layers. Last year, one clever person even brought a sleeping bag to keep herself warm in the reclining chair for the night skywatch! Temperatures could range from mid-30s to low-70s.
  • Sturdy and comfortable shoes for walking on dirt with scrub vegetation
  • If you are local or driving in, please bring lawn chairs for yourself and extras if you have room. Many people are flying in for this event and could use your extra chairs. Reclining lawn chairs like the “zero gravity” chairs are a nice option so you can lean back and observe the sky.
  • Flashlight and/or headlamp (especially with red light for conserving your night vision)
  • Bug repellent – the mosquitoes may be out!
  • Sunscreen
  • Hat with brim
  • Sunglasses
  • Umbrella or poncho – you never know!
  • Snow boots and warm winter clothes – it could be 70 degrees, it could snow!
  • Blankets to keep you warm at the Skywatch
  • Notebook / Journal and pens for keeping track of your experiences
  • A cooler with extra food and snacks – there are a few grocery stores and restaurants, but it is a small town and the restaurants fill up quickly so wait time can be extremely long. You may want to pack your lunches ahead or plan menus and groceries ahead and make lunch with friends at your lodging.
  • Lots of water! And refillable water bottles
  • Binoculars
  • Night vision goggles
  • Camera
  • Chapstick – it is DRY in Colorado!
Please be courteous if you bring laser pointers or music, etc. Airplanes and ET craft don’t like being blinded by laser light! And the other people meditating on the sky appreciate the quiet and crickets more than music or talking.

OUR MISSION

StarworksUSA is founded in support of both the research & inquiry into the UFO phenomenon and those who have had the profound experience of contact with extraterrestrial life.

ABOUT StarworksUSA

Our conferences are designed to change the perception of ET contact. We promote the belief that contact is a unique form of communication and integration with our galactic neighbors which defies explanation of time and space.
—
Rather than perceiving separation and fear, we seek to raise the consciousness of our planet with heart centered connection with our galactic neighbors.
—
We realize we do not have all the answers but strive to ask the right questions.
