This weekend saw the UFOCUS UFO convention in my home town here in NZ. The keynote speaker was one Dr Roger Leir (his somewhat bizarre website here http://www.alienscalpel.com/index.htm). Dr Leir claims to have removed a number of implants from alien abductees and was here to discuss his work.
Unfortunately for Dr Leir one of the headlines on the front page of the local paper the next day read:
Believers turn into sceptics after conference
"Even the true believers at a UFO conference in Rotorua were sceptical after a keynote speaker's presentation. Leir's information was overly technical and his video finished before any details could be seen, leaving delegates questioning the doctor's motives. He declined all interviews. In his presentation Leir said 'they [skeptics] must be psychics because they come to conclusions before looking at any of the evidence'. Delegates told The Daily Post they were not convinced by his presentation."
Maybe he should work for JREF - he seems to be doing a good job in encouraging critical thinking...:)
