UFO lecture series lands in Sonoma<\/h3>\n

\nINDEX-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER | October 13, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBe amongst the first 50 earthlings to learn the truth!\u201d<\/p>\n

Jim Ledwith, aka \u201cUFO Jim,\u201d Sonoma\u2019s resident promoter of up-to-the-minute extraterrestrial information, is returning to the Sonoma Community Center this October with his annual Fall UFO Lecture series.<\/p>\n

The above quote, from the website of the Sonoma Community Center, where the two-part series will take place, shines a strange bright light on Ledwith\u2019s planned Monday, Oct. 24 talk, titled simply, \u201cRoswell.\u201d<\/p>\n

As promised, attendance is indeed limited to just 50 earthlings. Presumably that\u2019s not because of any government effort to keep the information under wraps, so much as the fact that the maximum occupancy of the room means that space is at a premium.<\/p>\n

Opening the series, on Monday, Oct. 17, is a sequel, of sorts.<\/p>\n

Titled \u201cHollywood & UFOs II,\u201d a follow up to last year\u2019s well-received exploration of movies and extraterrestrial story-telling, the talk is designed to disclose what Ledwith will argue is a careful campaign of disclosure on the part of certain Hollywood filmmakers. Looking at notable UFO-themed documentaries, in addition to feature films (expect at least a glimpse of \u201cClose Encounters of the Third Kind\u201d), Ledwith will ask attendees to question how much these films have shifted public perspectives toward gradual acceptance of the possibility of UFOs.<\/p>\n

The series continues the following week with \u201cRoswell,\u201d during which Ledwith will screen evidence of what he calls \u201cthe multiple layers of cover-up\u201d regarding the site, in New Mexico, where many believe an alien spacecraft crashed in 1947, sparking a massive campaign of government subterfuge that continues to this day.<\/p>\n

\nSTAFF REPORT | October 20, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jim Ledwith, better known as \u201cUFO Jim\u201d, has been a ufologist for more than 45 years, researching UFOs and extraterrestrials, which he compiles on his website, ufosRreal.com.<\/p>\n

He will host two lectures at the Sonoma Community Center on his work, including \u201cAnimal Abductions\u201d on Tuesday, Oct. 22; and \u201cCrop Circles\u201d on Tuesday, Oct. 29, with both set for 7 to 9 p.m.<\/p>\n

Ledwith\u2019s investigative work includes interviews with retired military and defense industry personnel. His research encompasses England\u2019s crop circles, Area 51, Roswell, UFO conferences and on-going literature and Internet fact-finding. For nearly 10 years, he has been teaching his UFO classes through adult education, Rotary Clubs and other organizations both domestically and internationally.\u00a0He also brought the genre to the Sonoma International Film Festival, which was the first film festival to show documentaries of this subject matter.<\/p>\n

On Oct. 22, Ledwith will discuss the phenomenon of animal abductions. Since 1967, more than 10,000 have occurred on private ranches and farms, he said. Ledwith will talk about the significance of this mysterious act, and will show actual footage of a bovine abduction, along with substantiating FBI files and US statistics of these strange harvests.<\/p>\n

Linda Moulton Howe, a graduate of Stanford University with a master\u2019s degree in communication, will join Ledwith in conversation via Skype. She has devoted her documentary film, television and radio career to productions concerning science, medicine and the environment. Howe has received local, national and international awards, including three regional Emmys and a national Emmy nomination. Her films have included\u00a0\u201cPoison in the Wind\u201d\u00a0and\u00a0\u201cA Sun Kissed Poison,\u201d\u00a0which compared smog pollution in Los Angeles and Denver;\u00a0\u201cFire in the Water\u201d\u00a0about hydrogen as an alternative energy source to fossil fuels;\u00a0\u201cA Radioactive Water\u201d about uranium contamination of public drinking water in a Denver suburb; and\u00a0\u201cA Strange Harvest,\u201d which explored the worldwide animal mutilation mystery which has haunted the United States and other countries for decades.<\/p>\n

Howe has also received honors as a medical producer in Boston\u2019s WCVB Peabody Award; earned the Aviation and Space Writers Association\u2019s award for \u201cWriting Excellence in Television\u201d and Sigma Delta Chi \u201cExcellence in Journalism\u201d award and a Golden Plaque from the Chicago Film Festival.<\/p>\n

Then on Oct. 29, Ledwith will give the lecture \u201cCrop Circles Update.\u201d Early crop circles were simply that \u2013 circles, he said. Since the late \u201980s, crop circles have exhibited complex geometric shapes.<\/p>\n

Scientific evidence shows intense \u201cball of light\u201d orbs are used in the creation of these intricate designs. Ledwith will speak in-depth about the Wickham Green circle along with an update on new crop circles.<\/p>\n

The lectures are fun and informative, and all proceeds benefit the Sonoma Community Center. Adult tickets are $10 each; kids 8 to 17 are $5 each (parental discretion is advised for the \u201cAnimal Abduction\u201d lecture). Tickets are available at the door, online at sonomacommunitycenter.org, or by phone at 938-4626, ext. 1.<\/p>\n

The Sonoma Community Center is located at 276 E. Napa St., and lectures will be held in room 110.<\/p>\n
