On this edition of “Meanwhile, Here On Earth” my guests will be some of the outstanding speakers who will be taking part in the 10th annual Exeter New Hampshire UFO Festival and Conference over the coming Labor Day weekend. This year’s events also mark the 60th anniversary of the actual Incident at Exeter, and we expect it will be the best attended to date.
