Thank you to Lee Speigel at the Huffington Post for his excellent article about the Symposium and its historical context.
“The Book of Odds, an online reference site, indicates that men are more likely than women to report witnessing UFOs.

‘Women are not on the forefront of many UFO conferences. It’s kind of an old boys club,’ said symposium organizer Paola Harris.
‘There are so many wonderful researchers out there that have literally dedicated their lives to a cause, and they deserve to balance the energy,’ she told The Huffington Post.”
