NCCC: Renowned UFO expert to speak at NCCC

SANBORN — Marjim Manor has its ghosts, and Sanborn has its UFOs.

Niagara County Community College will be hosting renowned author, lecturer and UFOlogist Stan Gordon at 7 p.m. Monday at the NCCC Saunders Settlement Road location. He will touch on all aspects of the unknown in his lecture, “Did the War of the Worlds Begin in 1965?”

According to Shane Sia, of the Medina Tourism Committee, Gordon will present a lecture on all of his experiences. Gordon has made notable television appearances on the History and Discovery channels for his experiences with unexplained phenomena — including UFOs and Bigfoot.

“Every year, we have a guest speaker, and the student activities board usually invites a speaker of international fame to come as their guest and present a lecture to the student body and community,” said Kathy Shorey, chairwoman of the event. “Each year, Dr. Philip Haseley of the anthropology department coordinates the event between the school and community. He’s from western Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh, and the fact that he is an international speaker makes it more exciting.”

Admission to the event is free, but there is a voluntary donation of $3. The money will be donated to Niagara Hospice.

“The state of Pennsylvania always calls him in cases where unexplained situations occur, so he’s available at a moment’s notice,” Shorey said. “He’s the state’s authority on this type of situation.”

She said in the past, the lectures have been well-attended. In the morning he will be speaking to students, but the evening hours will be open for community participation. Haseley, Shorey and others are investigators for the group MUFON — an international group of more than 5,000 members who do scientific research on UFOs to benefit humanity.
