• On Aug. 17 and 18, the Knoxville Convention Center (Tennessee) will host the first AlienXPO convention, featuring panelists, vendors and a space in which like-minded people can talk about their UFO experiences and theories. The topic of extraterrestrials has captured the imagination of millions around the world, from the hardcore UFO enthusiasts and researchers to the curious, bringing them together at conventions across the country.
• “Never before has Knoxville hosted an event that will allow attendees to hear real events concerning extraterrestrial phenomena. There will be people from every walk of life together in one place to hear, share and be floored by the research presented,” Katina Kyle, a producer of the Mysterious Radio podcast and one of the event organizers.
• Guest speakers will include former national news anchor Cheryll Jones; Steven Bassett of Paradigm Research Group; “NASA whistleblower” and retired aerospace worker Ken Johnston Sr.; and alien abductee Travis Walton.
• “Some of these (speakers) are authors, former government contractors, whistleblowers, NASA and aerospace engineers — people that have directly come in contact with extraterrestrial phenomena,” said Kyle. “I just feel like something’s out there, and I’ve always been a skywatcher. The curiosity is there in all of us.” Kyle added, “A lot of these people attend these events because they’re trying to get some kind of answer or resolution to what has happened to them.”
• After years of strange encounters and even some mass UFO sightings like the one in Phoenix in 1997, Kyle said she believes the topic is being taken more seriously. “I’ve never witnessed reporting of a UFO incident or sighting unless it was followed up by a chuckle or a joke or something like that,” she continued. “Now it’s being reported with dead-seriousness.”
KNOXVILLE — When it comes to unidentified flying objects and extraterrestrials, the first topics that often come to mind include the mysteries surrounding Area 51, the 1947 Roswell UFO incident, claims of alien abductions and strange UFO sightings.

On Aug. 17 and 18, the Knoxville Convention Center will host the first AlienXPO convention to focus on extraterrestrial phenomena. The convention will feature panelists, vendors and a space in which like-minded people can talk about their UFO experiences and theories.
Attendees will also get a chance to learn more about UFO sightings in Tennessee from Angelia Sheer, state director of the Mutual UFO Network.
“Never before has Knoxville hosted an event that will allow attendees to hear real events concerning extraterrestrial phenomena.

“I just feel like something’s out there, and I’ve always been a skywatcher,” she said. “The curiosity is there in all of us.”
