Canadian ufologist Stanton Friedman knows exactly how many hecklers he’s had over his 50-plus years as a lecturer – 11.

“And two of them were drunk,” he said.

The rest weren’t intelligible, or mischaracterized his positions, he said.

He thinks he’s hard to heckle because he stands by his positions. Like many in the UFO movement, Friedman is concerned with appearing reasonable, but he’s certainly not an “apologist ufologist.”

“Flying saucers are real – that’s my thing,” he said. “Some people say ‘I’m not sure, I think we should look at all the options.’ I know damn well something’s out there.”

The evidence, he said, is overwhelming.

This weekend was the 13th Aztec UFO Symposium, the Friends of the Aztec Library’s biggest fundraiser of the year. About 300 people attended the two-day conference at the Aztec Masonic Lodge and took in the many tours and presentations – “exopolitics,” “cosmic messages and the dimensional shift,” “Eisenhower and the aliens.”

FARMINGTON — “Indiana” Judy Cowan brought Aztec UFO Symposium attendees to an alleged UFO crash site Saturday as she has done the last three years during the event.Visitors to the site near Aztec often ask her questions about the size of the aircraft in the supposed crash and its survivors.

“I say, To a great extent it’s hearsay,’” said Cowan, a volunteer who drives them there.

Whether aliens actually crashed or a secret aircraft test mission by the U.S. government went wrong, “I know something happened out there,” she added.

UFO and alien enthusiasts descended on Aztec on Friday night and all day Saturday for the 13th annual symposium.

They heard lectures and visited the crash site on the Alien Run trail north of Aztec.

“I’ll be going in my full alien costume,” said Samantha Layne-Perkins, 11.

About 200 people attended, said Katee McClure, vice president of the Friends of the Library. Attendees paid $25 and bought alien T-shirts and trinkets, whose proceeds fund the Aztec Public Library.

“It has been a great success,” Katee McClure said.

NAGEEZI — Last Wednesday, Marilyn Frank and her children traveled from their home in Aztec to land they own in Nageezi to check on their free-range horses.

But the ordinary day turned to horror for the family when it discovered one horse, affectionately named Sonny, dead, mutilated, its ears and reproductive organs missing and a trail of blood running through the nearby dirt and grass.

And it’s not the first time it’s happened.

“They even did that to my mom’s goats, too,” Marilyn’s son, Henderson Frank, said as he stood near the carcass Tuesday. Flies buzzed near the animal’s body, which has laid in the dust for nearly a week.

The Franks own dozens of goats, sheep and horses that they let roam the land they own near Chaco Cultural National Historical Park.

Several times a week, Marilyn visits the horses and checks on the family’s animals, which use a natural watering hole and grass in the area for food and water as they roam the land.

“We think about them as precious animals,” Henderson said. “We grieved about it too; we still are.”

The family called the Navajo Police in Crownpoint, who directed them to the Navajo Nation Animal Control in Window Rock, Ariz., but they have yet to receive a response.

And the lack of response from officials is leaving the Franks with unanswered questions.

“Who would do this thing to my horse?” Henderson said. “It’s just hurtful.”

I actually saw this on the news last night.  They haven’t posted the video yet, which is kind of weird because they normally post everything.  Anyhow, I did NOT notice a trail of blood like this article describes.  Maybe I missed it.  I would like to see the video again.
