Speakers lineup

James Clarkson

The Alien Others

James Clarkson is an Investigator who has stood in two worlds for many years — a career professional investigator in the criminal justice field and as a lifelong researcher of the UFO mystery.

He has been a plainclothes military police investigator, a career police officer and fraud investigator who has had many titles: patrol supervisor, detective sergeant, fatal accident team manager and training officer. He served 10 years as a state fraud investigator.

In 1987 he joined the Mutual UFO Network and over the next 30 years he investigated over 2,000 UFO reports. He was the Washington state MUFON director for 10 years until 2017. He has lectured at many UFO events across the country and in Paris, as well as radio and TV appearances.

He discovered a key witness to a recovered UFO who worked at Wright-Patterson during the time of the famous Roswell UFO crash. He is a lecturer, author, researcher, and UFO detective. He is the author of Tell My Story — June Crain, the Air Force & UFOs as well as the Westport UFO Crash Retrieval Event.

He now lives on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state with his wife Joanne, a mystic poet.

He will present The Alien Others, the evidence for aliens on Earth which he calls “overwhelming, so much so that even Uncle Sam has admitted that UAPs are real. But if these UFOs are trans-medium vehicles, where do they originate, and who or what is piloting them? Are the UFOs crossing space or time, or have they been here all along? And why are they here?”

Nick Pope

Ancient Aliens

Author, journalist and TV personality Nick Pope used to investigate UFOs and other mysteries for the British government, and is the world’s leading expert on UFOs, the unexplained and conspiracy theories. He has presented, contributed to, and consulted on numerous TV shows on these subjects.

David Childress

He is the publisher of World Explorer magazine and Adventures Unlimited Press and is the author of many books, including the Lost Cities series and Technology of the Gods.

JoAnne Clarkson

Finding Your Spirit Guides

Spirits and angels have been part of Joanne Clarkson’s life since she was a child. Today she continues to work with her guides in her creative, psychic and daily life.

In this presentation, Joanne will share ways everyone can connect with their most powerful, loving spirits. She will discuss the different kinds of beings who visit and interact with us — relatives and friends who have crossed over, animal companions, spirits of nature and place, light beings, heroes.

Why do we want or need them? Are they always available to us? Does each one have a specific reason for being in our lives? Joanne will lead audience members through specific methods they can use to meet their guides. She will explain how beings from other dimensions can help us fulfill our true purpose now and take us deeper into other dimensions.

Joanne will be giving Palm, Tarot and spirit guide readings at her table during the conference.

Maurene Morgan

Divine Feminine Returns

Maurene Morgan was the former Washington Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) state director from 2017 until 2023, and was a member of MUFON’s Experiencer Research Team.

Maurene graduated from the University of Iowa with a B.A. in Communication Studies at the age of 43, and then worked for 12 years as an editorial assistant on a university philosophy journal.

She spent more than 20 years exploring the world that included crewing aboard a square rigger during an Atlantic passage, and sailing around the world aboard a 40-foot sailboat. A small-town girl from the Midwest, these experiences have given her a sense of how magical and mysterious our world truly is, and how much more there is to explore.

Peter Orbea

Port Gamble Paranormal Research and Investigations

Pete Orbea works in the historic town of Port Gamble.

“I love leading the popular Ghost Walks, Special Investigations and coordinating the Port Gamble Ghost Conference which has given me the opportunity to develop my skills for communicating with, and investigating the paranormal.

“I became interested in the paranormal and spirits at age seven after witnessing two Native American warriors appear and vanish while on a road trip with my grandparents in northern Arizona. The intrigue of the paranormal peaked again during my college years while working at the historic Egyptian Theater in Boise, Idaho, which was a hot spot for paranormal activity.

“While living in Port Gamble for a few years and getting to know many other people with a strong interest in studying the paranormal, I feel right at home in the haunted historic town. After joining the Olympic Peninsula Paranormal Society in 2013, I started to realize that I may be capable of speaking with spirits. I attended the 2014 Oregon Ghost Conference in Oregon City, Oregon and had some amazing experiences with the paranormal including my first psychic reading ever by Seth Michael of Whitelight Paranormal Insight. That reading seemingly changed my life.”

Kevin Carney

Coastal Aerial Phenomenon

Kevin Carney is a Washington researcher who has recently presented the Coastal Aerial Phenomenon. He will be presenting on coastal UFO/UAPs with photos never submitted to any agency or organization.
