EVENTS & APPEARANCES
How long it’s been since we’ve seen scenes like the above–me reading at Flyleaf Books in Chapel Hill! The scheduled launch of Intimate Alien: The Hidden Story of the UFO at Flyleaf, on March 24, 2020, was of course postponed indefinitely, and it doesn’t appear that we can do a makeup anytime this year.
On the other hand, like most of us I’ve become an old hand at Zoom. I have done Zoom talks on my book, and, last March 18, I gave on Zoom a long-delayed paper for the International Association For Jungian Studies–on UFOs, of course.
I’m comfortable now with both Zoom and Skype, and ready to arrange a conversation with your book club on either one. To arrange it, send me an email.
And when things open up, I’m open for non-virtual travel as well.
To keep up with postings and events follow us on:
March 18, 2021
“Anatomy of a Vision: A Psychological Approach to the Papua New Guinea UFO Sightings, June 26-27, 1959”
Given on Zoom for the 2021 conference of the International Association For Jungian Studies on UFOs. I wish I could post it here, or give a link to a video of it. But it’s likely that it will be published in a book of conference proceedings, and if so, it’s improper for me to pre-publish it here.
But you can read the abstract at https://www.duq.edu/assets/Documents/psychology/Abstracts%202021.pdf, by searching for “Halperin.”
