UFO Sighting & Festival in Oregon

by Mary Jo Manzanares on April 29th, 2008

On May 16-17th, enthusiasts of extraterrestials, UFO sightings, aliens, and all sorts of other mysteries will meet in McMinnville, Oregon for the 9th Annual UFO Festival. 

The festival started to honor the 1950 Trent sighting in which a couple of McMinnville residents saw a large, metallic looking, disc-shaped object hovering silently in the sky just northeast of their farm.  They took photos which would become some of the most hotly debated UFO photos in history.

The annual UFO Festival, the second largest in the U.S. features a roster of noted speakers, and a screening of a documentary on the mystery of crop circles.

Tickets are $10, or $15 for a combination 2-day package.

Believes and skeptics alike will be there.
