NEW materials found in the ever elusive search for materials pertaining this 1985 Costa Rica Conference. It has become a sort of white whale for UFO and paranormal researchers, since no audio/video has been discovered- and very little photographs have surfaced. It’s important because the lineup of speakers here was quite legendary and included Andrija Puharich, Jacques Vallee, John Keel, John Lilly, Salvador Freixedo, and more. I’ve got my hands on a flier for the conference and a photo which I’ve never seen before. Also an add that was run to promote the conference which translates to: “Eminent scientists, one of whom was an adviser to NASA; another holds 56 patents.
