News from all over - Eureka Springs

Sitting on the lower floor of the convention center at the Inn of the Ozarks, author Don Ray Walton said his book, The Coming Human Aliens needs to be rewritten because beings from outer space gave him new information when they picked him up outside of Stephensville, Texas, earlier this year. He related the aliens’ most recent message: Our solar system is heading toward a massive black hole.

In the next four years, humans will be offered salvation from representatives of 143, 999 alien races, Walton said. The ships will only take those that are willing and ready, Walton said. It is up to each person to decide whether to go with the aliens or to stay and be devoured by the black hole.

At this conference, which continues today, he wasn’t the only one talking about other-world experiences. The three-day conference had nine speakers on topics ranging from crop circles to preparing to meet aliens.

There may have been a heightened sense of questioning authority at the conference, as a sign inside the door read: "All government agents must register at the front desk and must wear name tags at all times NO EXCEPTIONS." Featured speakers included Ted Phillips, a researcher from the Center for Physical Trace Research in Missouri.

“In Eureka Springs, anything is pretty much accepted as normal,” said Michael Teague, who was walking downtown with his daughter Marley. He would have been interested in attending, but Teague said that his daughter is “scared to death of the subject matter.” Saturday’s UFO convention was the first for Mike Smith of Springdale. Smith has been interested in UFOs for more than 20 years, he said. Although he doesn’t report them, he said that anyone can see them if they look hard enough. “It’s an escape of your thoughts of the everyday things,” Smith said, of watching for UFOs.
