A SPATE of UFO sightings on the Central Coast has attracted the attention of the UFO and Paranormal Research Society of Australia. The society has convened a conference at Gosford this Saturday.

Society secretary Dominic McNamara has urged locals to attend and discuss any paranormal sightings and to question a panel of experts. Mr McNamara said UFO sightings are regularly reported, and by everyday people. He said the Gosford area was a UFO hot spot.

"There was a sighting over the Northern Beaches and Central Coast area a few months ago," he said.

"People reported seeing a low-flying, white, triangular object moving silently across the sky," he said.

"Reports stated it was moving as fast as a jet. It was completely silent but if it was a jet it was moving too fast to be so silent."

Mr McNamara, an engineer, said his science-based occupation had not prevented him from exploring the possibility of extra-terrestrial life.

"People ask how an engineer could take this seriously when this science is loaded with ifs and buts," he said.

"We are a group trying to find the truth, to discover if there really is something out there. I pursue this topic with passion and logically.

"We visit reported sites and rule out any variables using scientific equipment."

The Next Dimensions conference will be held at The Willows Quality Inn this Saturday, November 29, from 9am to 5.30pm.

Tickets cost $33 and are available for purchase from the society's website at www.ufosociety.com.au.
