When it was time for questions we stood in line at a microphone. I didn’t catch where the first guy was from, but he said that he worked at “naval headquarters” during the Carter administration and remembered an officer telling him, “Do you know we have aliens on ice?”

The man said he had been contacted twice by aliens, both times in Santa Monica, Calif.

Another man got up to say that there is almost certain geological proof that two planet-wide nuclear wars have taken place on Earth.

“Do you have a question?” Hastings asked.

“Are you aware,” the man said, “that the NSA was partially founded to monitor aliens?”

Hastings said he had heard the rumors about the NSA. And about the CIA.

A man who identified himself as “from Lancaster County” said the ability to combine human DNA with non-human DNA is not farfetched. Murder, he said, is the unlawful killing of a human being.

“Nowhere does it say it has to be 100 percent human,” he said.
