UFOs (or UAPs) are practically ubiquitous in popular culture, but is the Earth being regularly frequented by beings from other planets? With all the reported sightings and alleged abductions, surely there must be something going on? Well, possibly, but are there other more terrestrial explanations to consider? Come join us as Brian Eggo from Glasgow Skeptics takes you on a light-hearted and near-light-speed journey through some of the 'best' stories of sightings and abductions, while shamelessly using them as a vehicle to help promote critical thinking and scientific skepticism.
About the speaker
Brian Eggo is a human being from the planet Earth (allegedly). He has spent a significant proportion of the last ten solar circumnavigations running Glasgow Skeptics, an organisation committed to promoting science, reason and critical thinking. He has yet to meet any aliens, despite many close encounters of the absurd kind with true believers.
Attendance is free. No ticket is required. We operate on a first come first served basis. It's relatively rare that we fill up the function room, but please be aware that if things are looking busy, the earlier you get there the less chance there is of not getting in.
Although the event is free, we will be asking for donations at the end of the talk. Participants are under no obligation whatsoever to donate, however please rest assured that the money we collect doesn't end up in anyone's pocket - it is used to fund our overhead costs, and travel/accommodation for our speakers who come from further afield.
