It soon became apparent that these experiences not only affected him, but also many other family members and close friends. David has experienced contact since an early age and been forced to not only accept its reality, but integrate it into his daily life. He has encountered beings and craft on both a physical and meta-physical level. He has interacted directly with his contacts on many occasions, and has a deep understanding of what is happening to him. But this is far from a case of individual contact. Many of his experiences involved numerous witnesses, who all testified to the validity of what has taken place!
In time these experiences led David and his friends to form acoustic rock band Cosmosis. Many of the songs released by the band over the years that followed were directly influenced by contact, and had deep and meaningful lyrics. The band is an integral part of this story.
David’s case is of the most profound cases that Dave have ever worked on, and opened his eyes to some of the deeper aspects of the contact phenomenon. In this talk he will cover some of David’s most impressive experiences, highlighting important aspects and the evidence available. The lecture includes a specially recorded video message from David and one of his friends, and a music video by Cosmosis.

Roswell Revisited
​
Length: 75 mins (or less)

In early July 1947 something highly unusual crash landed at Roswell, New Mexico. Pieces of strange metallic debris were found scattered across a local farmer's ranch. Once the newspapers got a hold of the story, an infamous headline story stating that a flying disc had been recovered was distributed to the public. However once the military descended on the scene, a cover up operation took place and a new article was released stating that what had come down was nothing more than a weather balloon. Since the incident hundreds of witnesses have provided testimony suggesting that what really took place was the retrieval of a downed alien craft and its occupants. Even now this remains one of the most compelling and well documented UFO incidents to have ever taken place.
In this talk Dave will provide an overview of the key facts, including statements from many of the key witnesses and many photographs and video footage of those involved.
