Purpose of the Annual Symposium The UNO MUFON SOCIETY, Omaha UFO Study Group, and the Nebraska Chapter of MUFON sponsor an Annual Symposium on the campus of the University of Nebraska at Omaha. The symposium is designed in keeping with the mission of the UNO MUFON SOCIETY: to look at the logical and rational scientific explanations of the UFO phenomenon. While preference is given to papers that address UFOlogy from a perspective using the scientific method of inquiry, all ideas and subject matter are welcome and will be considered. This web page serves as a request for papers to make a presentation (at your own expense) at our Annual Symposium. Please click on the 'contact' page on the sidebar to propose a presentation on a subject of your choice at our next symposium.
