“UFOs – What Do We Know?” to land at Archdale library



The Archdale Public Library will host Lakita Adams, state director for the NC Chapter of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), for a talk entitled “UFOs – What Do We Know” at 7 p.m. Friday April 12.

The lecture will include a brief history of Ufology, UFO photos and some North Carolina UFO cases.  Information for UFO education and MUFON also will be available.

It’s free and the public is invited.

Adams's interest in the UFO subject began when she was nine years old, and witnessed a large fireball with her parents.  In high school, she wrote her first research paper on the subject of UFOs, and for the last 12 years has studied the subject. In 2011, she became a MUFON Field Investigator in North Carolina, and has investigated about 100 cases here in the state.

She has a BA in English from UNC-G, and has taught in the Randolph County Schools, Randolph Community College and the NC Zoo, where she was an environmental educator for several years.

MUFON, established in 1969, is an international scientific research organization that investigates sightings of unidentified flying objects, collects data, and educates the public about UFOs. MUFON receives about 500 sighting reports every month.

North Carolina receives about 17 reports a month, and is one of the top reporting states.  Most reported UFOs can be identified as conventional aircraft, celestial objects, satellites, and natural phenomena.

However, about five percent of reports remain unknown, and sometimes include physical traces, radar confirmation and flight technology that defies known physics.

UFO sightings can be reported to the International MUFON website at: www.mufon.com. For North Carolina MUFON info, visit the state website at:  www.mufon-nc.com
