Following the great success of the Victorian Skeptics stands at the “Great Australian Science Show” in previous years, we will have a stand at “Science Week 2005“. It should be lots of fun with science, magic, fortune telling, lots of debate – and the bed of nails!

Sad News – Philip Klass

Philip J. Klass, 85 died Aug 9. Klass was an aviation journalist who investigated UFO sightings and wrote books debunking reports of visits from outer space. “In nearly 30 years of searching, investigating famous cases, I have yet to find one that cannot be explained in down-to-earth prosaic terms” In 1988 he offered a reward of $10,000 to any victim whose abduction by aliens could be confirmed by the FBI. No-one ever collected. http://www.csicop.org/klassfiles/Home.html
