Women in Ufology - A Resource Site

Regan already mentioned this in October, but I wanted to write up a bit more about it:

Women in Ufology:

The Women featured on this site bring both intellectual and practical skills. They are available as conference speakers, as media guests, as artists, designers and filmmakers, to serve on boards of UFO organizations, as case investigators, consultants, regression therapists, writers, and in a variety of other capacities.


The purpose of Women in Ufology is to inform those members of the UFO community who may not be aware of the many accomplished Women working in ufology today. Conference promoters, media hosts, leaders in the UFO community—this site will help YOU! We believe you will be amazed at the wealth of talent and experience you will find among the Women described here.

Women in Ufology is still in it's fledgling state, so keep checking over the next few weeks as the site fills out and more women added to the resource list.

If you are interested in being listed on this site, shoot and email to: womeninufology@gmail.com

Reflections on the 2010 McMinnville UFO Fest

I posted this over at my site The Interstellar Housewife, and while I usually don't do the whole cross-posting thing, I thought this would be a nice addition since some of it includes Regan.

Well, that was unexpected! I had a great time at the annual McMinnville UFO festival, in McMinnville, Oregon! Oh, it wasn't so much the festival itself that was grand -- I mean, it was filled with your usual nutbaggery and abundant silliness complete with grey-type alien faces galore *shudder*. No, the best parts were the times Maggie and I spent with Erik Stitt, Regan Lee and her husband, James Rich.

Regan is an amazingly cool woman! I was very happy to finally meet her in person. We all had some great conversation the first night, nestled into a quiet corner in the always-overpriced McMenamin's. For those of you how aren't familiar with McMenamin's, it's a company that buys up old landmark buildings and converts them to restaurants, pubs, hotels and so on. This particular McMenamin's was a bar/hotel, but featured the same inflated prices and overrated consumables you've come to know and love from the chain. Despite this, I very much enjoyed myself.

Sadly, Maggie wasn't feeling well, so I drove her back to our hotel a couple of miles down the road and put her to bed, before I headed on back to the pub to continue on with our conversations. Regan and her husband eventually called it a night and ascended up to their room, while Erik and I closed the bar -- and then some.
