Last July, the 42nd annual MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) Symposium 2011 was held in Irvine, California. Attendees and guests included both people who do and do not believe in UFOs,1 such as NASA astronaut Story Musgrave (who doesn’t believe in UFOs),2 scientists speculating about what extraterrestrial (ET) contact could be like, and people who claimed that they had experienced ET contact. Some of the attendees seriously claim that they are ETs. Artists attending the event included Cynthia Crawford and Diane Hamlin, who sold their sculpted busts of various kinds of aliens, which the artists claim can awaken starseeds and have healing powers. Crawford “claims to be an E.T. hybrid from a government experiment.”3
