A Lifetime Of Contact
Length: 120 mins (or less)

In the spring of 2017 a lady from Southampton named Tina got in touch with BUFOG to discuss a number of experiences which had happened to her over the years. In the following months over many discussions, both direct and indirect, Dave learnt about what had taken place, and came to realise that this was one of the most far-reaching and fascinating contact cases he had yet dealt with in his investigative career!
Tina's experieces include many deep interactions with Greys and other beings through conciously recollected memories, impressive body markings and possible implant extractions, episodes of missing time and other paranorml activity. Many of these incidents are backed up with photographic evidence and medical documents.
This is the story of how Tina has had to come to terms with on-going contact from a seemingly extra-terrestrial origin and integrate it into her daily life. You will see and hear some amazing things which may well alter your perception of the contact subject forever!

In this fun and informative talk Dave will take you through the history of UFO-related tunes and explain the inspiration for some of these songs. He will cover many excellent examples of both artists and individual tracks who have been heavily influenced by the subject of ufology as well as some musicians who claim to have experienced UFO incidents of their own.

The Cosmosis Connection
Length: 120 mins (or less)
Solo / Dual on request
In the summer of 2014 Dave began his investigation into the many contact experiences of David Hunt. It soon became apparent that these experiences not only affected him, but also many other family members and close friends. David has experienced contact since an early age and been forced to not only accept its reality, but integrate it into his daily life. He has encountered beings and craft on both a physical and meta-physical level. He has interacted directly with his contacts on many occasions, and has a deep understanding of what is happening to him. But this is far from a case of individual contact. Many of his experiences involved numerous witnesses, who all testified to the validity of what has taken place!
In time these experiences led David and his friends to form acoustic rock band Cosmosis. Many of the songs released by the band over the years that followed were directly influenced by contact, and had deep and meaningful lyrics. The band is an integral part of this story.
David’s case is of the most profound cases that Dave have ever worked on, and opened his eyes to some of the deeper aspects of the contact phenomenon. In this talk he will cover some of David’s most impressive experiences, highlighting important aspects and the evidence available. The lecture includes a specially recorded video message from David and one of his friends, and a music video by Cosmosis.

Evidence For Contact: The Droitwich Case
Length: 120 mins (or less)
Solo
The Droitwich contact case is one of the most detailed and stunning cases of alien abduction that Dave has directly investigated in his investigative career. The case focuses around two abductions of a lady named Jeni which occured in late 2010. Both of the experiences are fascinating and contain many of the elements commonly reported including a UFOs, examination procedures, screen memories and body markings. What makes the case even more impressive is that the second of these abductions was seemingly captured on video camera!
However the scope of the case extends much wider than these two incidents. These abductions led Jeni to re-assess other experiences that had occured earlier in her life right back to childhood. It became apparent through the invesigation that she had experienced contact for many years.
In this talk Dave will take you through some of Jeni's fascinating experiences and you will get to see the video footage with your own eyes, as well as clips from the hypnotic regression which was carried out as part of the investigation.
Roswell Revisited
Length: 75 mins
Solo
In early July 1947 something highly unusual crash landed at Roswell, New Mexico. Pieces of strange metallic debris were found scattered across a local farmer's ranch. Once the newspapers got a hold of the story, an infamous headline story stating that a flying disc had been recovered was distributed to the public. However once the military descended on the scene, a cover up operation took place and a new article was released stating that what had come down was nothing more than a weather balloon. Since the incident hundreds of witnesses have provided testimony suggesting that what really took place was the retrieval of a downed alien craft and its occupants. Even now this remains one of the most compelling and well documented UFO incidents to have ever taken place.
In this talk Dave will provide an overview of the key facts, including statements from many of the key witnesses and many photographs and video footage of those involved.
