This past week, I attended the annual PhenomeCon conference in Vernal Utah at the Uintah Conference Center. What fun! It is a very doable 5 ½ hour drive from my house. Last year the featured topic was Bigfoot, but this year, because of other very meaningful events taking place on the national stage, the topics ranged more towards disclosure and the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Always predominantly featured was the Skinwalker Ranch TV show and that cast.
Speakers included Dr. Avi Loeb, Dave Schrader, and George Knapp. Jay Stratton spoke about the road to disclosure. He coined the term UAP, and was actually in the pentagon when it was hit. There were several presenters on ghosts and psychic phenomenon. I especially enjoyed retired police officers Marianne Robb and David Rich speaking about why many first responders do not report their paranormal experiences. They have created a non-profit organization to support these first responders by recording their stories.
There were also extra activities involving field trips off property and having meals with some of the speakers. I had a dinner with the Holzer Files panel, and I have not laughed that hard in a long time. Dave Schrader is so funny when he tells about his paranormal experiences. Cindy Kaza and Shane Pittman are also part of that group.
I will do a few other posts on my experiences last week. If you are interested in going next year, the dates are September 8-11, 2027. As of now, it looks like the 2026 website is still up if you want to look at the activities and speakers. Go to www.phenomecon.net.
