UFO show too `bizarre' to convince policeman

Portsmouth, N.H.

When police officer Kevin Semprini was given his assignment to
|
|
cover a convention Sunday, he didn't know what he was in for - an
|
|
encounter with 500 true believers in aliens, flying saucers and
|
|
other unidentified flying objects.
|
|
"It's kind of bizarre," said Semprini, watching a slide show about
|
|
a giant face on the surface of Mars a speaker said may have been
|
|
carved by "ancient astronauts" from Earth or their Martian
|
|
ancestors.
|
|
"I'd like to believe it . . . but," said the officer.
|
|
Semprini was one of the few skeptics in the crowd.
|
|
Many of the convention participants, gathered at a restaurant in
|
|
Portsmouth for the Third Annual New Hampshire Mutual Unidentified
|
|
Flying Object Network conference, embrace the theory mankind has
|
|
blundered badly in caring for the Earth and aliens are coming to
|
|
take charge.
|
|
Roberta Puhalski, 47, of Connecticut said she saw her first
|
|
extraterrestrial in 1988. It was making noise in the hallway and
|
|
woke her.
|
|
"As it approached, I looked out from my waterbed and saw the
|
|
figure," said the part-time columnist for the New York City-based
|
|
Space Newsletter.
|
|
"It had the huge head, very frail frame and overly extended arms,"
|
|
she said, adding it was similar to the creatures in the hit
|
|
science fiction film Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
