Seeking saucer solutions
In the workshops, participants will be able
e to examine some de-classified documents.
kK They will also explore the history of
UFOs, view videos and pictures, and dis-

cuss subjects such as physical evidence
and alien abductions. On the flip side, sec-
tions will cover frauds, false sightings and
the views of sceptics and de-bunkers.

"T think it’s important to give people
information and tell them where they
can find more and hope they go to the

books and documents and decide for them-
selves," says Dowler. "Each theory about
UFOs is important because it says some-
thing about the human mind and the
human experience. Even if it is discovered
that people are hoaxing, you have to ask
‘what does that tell us?’"

The course runs November 20 and 27
from 9am to 4:30pm at Douglas College’s
New Westminster campus. For more
information call 527-5492; to register call

Despite the disappointing projects, and
perhaps because of the mysteries they
have left unsolved, author John Dowler
says people still have a tremendous curios-
ity about space and UFOs. Dowler, who
will teach a two-day course called ‘UFO
110 - The Lure and Lore of Unidentified
Flying Objects’ at Douglas College begin-
ning on November 20, says we find UFOs
fascinating because they are still an un-
solved puzzle.

"I think people are interested in UFOs be-
cause we like mysteries. There is currently
no theory which can adequately explain
all the dimensions of this global mystery
and there is a great deal more evidence to
ponder than many people realize. ICUs a
puzzle that challenges the mind," says
Dowler, who began studying reports,
books and de-classified government docu-
ments on UFOs four years ago while
researching a screenplay.
