A UFO convention is a convention about UFOs that usually take place annually at hotels or convention centers. Historically, many would mainly feature contactees giving presentations about their experiences. Other topics, like UFO conspiracy theory, general conspiracy theory, and other paranormal phenomena are often discussed. However, some serious topical discussions and seminars are conducted at modern conventions. * ''Giant Rock Spacecraft Conventions'', held by George Van Tassel and helped pay for the Integratron from the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s near Landers, California〔(''The Giant Rock Conventions'' ), Gregory Bishop and Kenn Thomas, Fortean Times, January 1999〕 * ''Spacecraft Convention'', held by Buck Nelson from 1955-1965 near Mountain View, Missouri〔(''Buck Nelson: The Spaceman - The Man Who went to Mars (Buck Nelson and His Spacecraft Convention'' ), Richard's Journal, Richard Grosenbaugh〕〔(''UFO devotees to gather in Landers'' ), Redmond Carolipio, The Daily Bulletin, May 2, 2006〕 * ''MUFON International UFO Symposium'' (1969-present)〔(The Mutual UFO Network "Who We Are" page )〕 * ''International UFO Congress Convention and Film Festival'', 1991-present〔(''Phone home: UFO Congress, film festival coming to Laughlin'' ), Staff, Mohave Daily News, February 19, 2006〕〔(''UFO convention speaker says we must become 'galactic citizens' '' ), Kay Jenney, Mohave Daily News, February 7, 2003〕 * ''National UFO Conference'' (1999-present) * ''Bay Area UFO Expo'', founded by Victoria Jack (daughter of Roy Fortner) in 1999〔(''About the Bay Area UFO Expo'' )〕 * ''Conspiracy Con'', produced by Brian William Hall from 2001-present * ''UFO Conference'', 2003-present〔(UFO Conference )〕 UFO conventions have been featured in various pop culture: Television * The Lone Gunmen, from the 1994 ''X-Files'' episode ''E.B.E.'', originate from a UFO convention * ''Esteemsters'', 1997 ''Daria'' episode * ''The Convention'', 2000 ''Roswell'' episode * ''Attack of the Saucer Morons'', 2001 ''Invader Zim'' episode * ''Alien Abductions'', 2003 ''Bullshit!'' episode, features 3 days at a UFO convention ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「UFO convention」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
