Oct 7, 2020 – The North Texas group conducted another virtual conference. For this go-around there were seven participants in all even though we could only “see” six of  them.

Jul 1, 2020 – Fed up with being confined to house arrest, five hardy North Texas UFO members got together at 11:30 on Wednesday, July 1 for a virtual meeting. It might have been a rocky start, but all of us thoroughly enjoyed the event. So much so that we have scheduled another such meeting…

Mar 13, 2020 – March 13 was another wet day in Phoenix, but 11 UFO members braved the weather to meet for a lunch at Deer Valley Airport, north Phoenix. With no formal program, we simply had a very social visit, and each member stood up and introduced themselves and talked a little about their…
