Hundreds of UFO enthusiasts and witnesses were to gather at Bucks County Community College on Saturday to discuss what has been a bumper crop of sightings.
For many of us, all we know of UFO's are reruns of the X-Files or Close Encounters, but for John Ventre, director of the Pennsylvania Mutual UFO Network, it's a mystery with an every longer list of witnesses:
"We had last year 312 UFO sightings in Pennsylvania. That's up from 97 the year before and in the second half of the year we had over 225 sightings and more than half of those were in the Bucks County area."
Part of the reason for the conference is to get the people who made these sightings together to compare notes, and to listen to reports from Network investigators. Ventre is not convinced UFO's are extra-terrestrial, thinks they're secret military technology, and, if so, he's glad it's our military.
