Summer is here and the clubhouse in Kempton got a paint job and a number of new windows. At the Arizona clubhouse the heat is on and tumbleweeds are on the move.
We had a good time at the UFO Paranormal Summit in May at the Quinalt Beach Resort and Casino near Aberdeen, Washington, Kurt Cobain’s hometown. Nick Pope was there as well and I was the keynote speaker at the three-day event. I had never been to this part of Washington State before as it is on the Olympic Peninsula about 90 minutes west of Tacoma. I was told that before the pandemic they were having very successful bigfoot conferences there and they invited me to a future conference to speak on bigfoot, sasquatch and yetis.
My next conference is the Ancient Civilization Conference in Boulder, Colorado, on August 9 and 10. Presented by Gaia it features friends Hugh Newman, William Henry, Robert Shoch, Gregg Brayden and others. Check it out at gaia.com
I am scheduled to be a speaker at the Sedona Skyfire Summit from October 17 to 20. It is to mark the 50th anniversary of Travis Walton’s experience near Heber, Arizona. Check it out at SedonaMufon.org
I will also be speaking at the Edgar Cayce group’s Ancient Mysteries event in Virginia Beach on October 3 to 5. Check out the program at EdgarCayce.org

Jennifer and I took a trip to Estonia, Finland and Iceland last fall. We flew to Tallinn, the capital of the small Baltic state of Estonia. Our friends and Estonian publishers Kuido and Ilona met us at the airport.
They have published my book Technology of the Gods into Estonian, Finnish and Swedish, and they have done the same with Thierry Jamin’s book about the Nazca mummies. The Estonian language is similar to Finnish. Recently they published an Estonian version of my book Project Rainbow and the Philadelphia Experiment. From Tallinn we took a ferry to Helsinki, the capital of Finland. We went by bus to the old capital, Turku, on the west side of Finland and returned to Helsinki to fly to Iceland. It was a very nice day when we landed at the airport in Reykjavik and we got to see a lot of the island from the air.
