Show and Tell — Books, People and Videos That Changed Your Thinking
Details
In person Meetup. What books, people, videos, or experiences have changed the way you see the world?
This is an opportunity for everyone to share something that influenced their thinking — especially ideas related to UFOs, ETs, consciousness, spirituality, science, history, or the nature of reality.
Bring a book, video, photo, website, or story that had a significant impact on you and tell us why.
📚 Books that opened your mind to new ideas
👽 People and researchers who changed your understanding of UFOs or ETs
🎥 Videos or documentaries that made you see something differently. You can play one for 10 minutes, if you like.
🧠 Ideas and experiences that challenged your previous beliefs
This isn't about proving who is right or wrong. It's about discovering the ideas and sources that have shaped the people in our UFO community.
What changed YOUR thinking?
Come ready to show, tell, discuss, and discover something new!
