Exploring the UFO/UAP Phenomenon

Join The Explorers Club on Wednesday, November 20th, for an deep inquiry into the study of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) with two of the leading figures in public UAP discourse.

Leslie Kean and Tim Gallaudet are deeply involved in the study of unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP, once known as UFOs. These advanced physical vehicles of unknown origin have been documented operating in the ocean, in our atmosphere, and in space. Kean has been reporting for mainstream media, including The New York Times, on her discoveries for twenty-four years. Rear Admiral Gallaudet is an oceanographer with a particular interest in underwater anomalous objects. Both work with a network of insiders who support initiatives behind-the-scenes, such as congressional legislation, to move us towards greater transparency on this very real issue of grave importance. This has encouraged further scientific investigation, although various obstacles have presented themselves in deep research. Kean and Gallaudet’s presentations will enlighten us as to their personal explorations and discoveries about this fascinating and mysterious phenomenon.

This in-person event at the Explorers Club Headquarters will include an audience Q&A.

Streaming live here on explorers.org, our YouTube Channel, and our Facebook Live — Wednesday, November 20th at 7:00 pm ET.
