He spoke at our 1998 conference about the alleged interaction between the human race and extra-terrestrials. One of his astounding revelations was that the human race is descended from dolphins from Sirius.
Michael remains unique in the annals of LAPIS conference history for the content of his speech and no other speaker has come close to matching his lecture on that day!
HOUGH, PETER (89)
Peter Hough is a leading UFO & paranormal researcher and author of several books about the paranormal. He has wisely chosen to give the adversarial world of ufological politics a wide berth. Instead, he has committed himself to the hard and tedious work of investigating specific cases in some depth.

David has been a friend and keen supporter of the group for many years and we thought it only right to ask him to share his knowledge of life, the universe and everything at the 2003 conference.

At our 2007 conference, he presented details of reports given by pilots of cigar shaped or “missile-like” objects which have been buzzing planes inside British airspace.

EVENTS AND CONFERENCES
LAPIS 2008 CONFERENCE
Saturday 14th June 2008
YMCA, St Albans Road,
St Annes, Lancashire, FY8 1XD
FREE JOSE ESCAMILLA DVD
“UFO:THE GREATEST STORY EVER DENIED”
FOR ALL CONFERENCE GOERS.
LAPIS was the first UFO group in the UK to invite Jose Escamilla to speak. We were also the first to show his incredible UFO movie which has been described by critics as the greatest UFO movie of the 21st Century. Now, with Jose deep into production of his second movie, we feel it is vitally important to spread the message of his first epic. So this is what we are going to do - every attendee on the day of the 2008 conference will get a free DVD copy (value £18).
Below you will find a trailer for the movie. Enjoy it and then come to the seaside for the full version. The conference venue is only 5 miles from the varied delights of Blackpool and on a light summer’s weekend too. Let’s face it, with our clueless footy players holidaying in the Caribbean rather than playing in Austria what else are you going to do?!
THE SPEAKERS
Trailer / Montage
Jose Escamilla
Matthew Williams
Matthew is a controversial figure in the world of ufology. He is the only man in Britain to be convicted of making crop circles when he was fined £100 in November 2000 after admitting damaging a farmer's crops near Marlborough, Wiltshire.
Since then, he has created many amazing and complex circles, some in front of TV cameras. So why have we asked a circle maker to speak at a LAPIS conference? The reason is that incredibly, whilst in the fields creating the circles, he has encountered strange paranormal phenomena in and around these formations on many occasions.
Below is a You Tube interview with Matthew which will be very controversial to many people. He discusses the 07/07/07 East Field circle which many believe was made by paranormal forces but he says were made by associates of his. However, far more important are the revelations of paranormal beings in and around the circles. He will discuss these in detail during his lecture.
Paul Vella
Paul is an independent Forensic Computer Expert Witness by trade, specialising in criminal defence cases, but he also runs the world's most popular Bigfoot related web site - www.bigfootresearch.com.
He has made several trips to the relevant areas of the United States over the years gathering evidence and is widely regarded as the most credible authority on the subject to be found this side of the Atlantic.
A natural sceptic, Paul errs on the side of caution when it comes to Bigfoot evidence and reports, but as someone who works with forensic evidence on a daily basis, he says that some of the evidence for the existence of Bigfoot is compelling but he will reserve judgement until he has seen one for himself.
Below is a You Tube video which provides a precis of the famous “Patterson-Gimlin Footage” which Paul will forensically examine during his lecture.
Malcolm Robinson
Malcolm is a premier league UFO & paranormal researcher and founder of the Scottish research group, Strange Phenomena Investigations (SPI). He will present a lecture on his life's research looking into the weird and the wonderful.
Malcolm will discuss some of the cases that took him off the sceptical fence and forced him to look more closely at the paranormal. He will share with the audience tales of first hand ghostly encounters, including a number of his own incredible ghostly tales. He will also discuss some of his research at Loch Ness looking for 'Nessie' and also his research into UFO sightings in Scotland.
Malcolm will trek through his 30 years of research providing many anecdotes of hilarious stories and situations that he has found himself in, and also what's it's like to be dealing with the media and how they treat you.
All in all this will be a talk for everyone and aims to inform, educate, and amuse. Below is a You Tube video of the famous Scottish UFO case - “The Livingston Incident” which Malcolm has investigated. And yes, he is the proud keeper of Bob Taylor’s famous trousers and may even whip them out at the conference!

Mike is a full-time writer and paranormal researcher. He takes care of scary business by investigating ghosts, poltergeists, UFO sightings and anything that scares the bejabbers out of most people. He says that earning a living by visiting haunted pubs and castles is as good as it gets!
He will talk about the incredible South Shields Poltergeist case. This is the true story of one of the world’s most terrifying cases of poltergeist infestation where one invisible entity went on a mission to cause terror.
In December 2005, a South Tyneside family were attacked by a violent poltergeist. Now, for the first time, one of the researchers who confronted it will tell the full shocking story. This may well be the most terrifying account of a supernatural encounter that you will ever hear and definitely one that you will never forget.
Below is a You Tube video detailing some other amazing poltergeist cases.
