Conference Report
C.I. Witkowski, Star Team Member John Bainbridge, and Field Investigator Tracey Roy attended the X-Conference in Gaithersburg, MD, from April 16 to April 19. The event was reportedly a sell-out. Following the conference, on April 20, 2009, a press conference was held at the National Press Club in Washington DC. The conference is described as educational and enlightening, with a "first class line up of speakers." The author highly recommends attending the following year, advising early booking due to the event selling out quickly.
New Field Investigators
The newsletter welcomes four new Field Investigators: David Powell (Sec. 1 Metro), Mike Melton (Sec. 1 Metro), Jeffrey Hauck (Sec. 1), and Michelle Hauck (Sec. 1). This brings the total number of Field Investigators to 27.
Closing Remarks
The newsletter concludes with the phrase "KEEP YOUR EYES TO THE SKY" and a thank you for "time and dedication" from "Butch" (Sigmund Witkowski), identified as PA MUFON Chief Investigator and PA MUFON State Section Director, Sec. 1.
