DENVER, July 11 /PRNewswire/ -- The following is being released by the Sophia Institute:

Marc Davenport, Christopher O'Brien, and Leah Haley will be featured speakers at an all-day conference, "The UFO Phenomenon," to be held Saturday, Aug. 26, at GCB Auditorium, University of Denver Campus in Denver, and Sunday, Aug. 27 at the Boulder Broker Inn, Boulder, Colo. Tickets are available at the Third Millennium Bookstore, 303-693-3407.

At 9 a.m., Marc Davenport will present a broad overview of UFO phenomena including spectacular photos and videos of "flying saucers" and drawings of seven types of alien beings. Pioneering the theory that UFOs are time travelers, Mr. Davenport explains how they appear to be getting here by literally warping the fabric of space and time. Author of "Visitors from Time: The Secret of the UFOs," Mr. Davenport is an avid researcher, writer and lecturer on UFOs, and is editor and co-founder of Contact Forum, the Round Table of Universal Communication.

At 12:45 p.m., following a catered lunch, Christopher O'Brien will present video evidence and discuss results of his research on Indian legends, UFO sightings, cattle mutilations, devil sightings and other occurrences in San Luis Valley, Colo. Mr. O'Brien, a writer/musician who recently moved from New York to Crestone, Colo., was intrigued by numerous paranormal reports. He began investigating, publishing his findings in a newsletter, and is currently compiling them into a book, "Colorado's Mysterious Valley."

At 2 p.m., Leah Haley will discuss the abduction experience recently popularized in movies, such as "Intruders" and "Fire In the Sky." She will relate her own experiences as an abductee: what happens during an abduction, why abductions may be occurring, and what happens to abductees after the experience. A writer and former CPA with two Master's degrees, Ms. Haley authored "Lost Was the Key," the gripping account of her abduction. Haley has also been kidnapped by military agents, interrogated and threatened. She continues to have abduction experiences, some leaving physical scars, receives strange, telepathic messages and experiences prophetic dreams of cataclysmic events such as earthquakes and famine.

Cost, including lunch: $45 early registration, $60 after Aug. 4, $75 at the door. Doors open at 8:30 a.m.
