UFO’S—Come and learn what your government does not want you to know about UFO’s. Using the Freedom of Information Act, several UFO research organizations have recently obtained once-secret government documents concerning "flying saucers". These, and other newly-declassified documents reveal that UFO’s do exist and, further, indicate that the US Government has been engaged in a massive cover-up designed to keep the facts from the public. UFO’s –The Hidden History—a slide-tape program and lecture by Robert Hastings, September 30, Bede Ballroom, 7:30 p.m. FREE. Co-sponsored by Concerts and Lectures and Student Activities.
