Some of the participants slipped out to watch a rerun of an old Star Trek episode. But most of the 350 delegates were more dedicated. After all, what brought them together last week in Fort Smith, Ark., was the world's first "serious" international UFO conference. It was also the first such gathering attended by U.S. official representatives...

In fact, the odd contraption was a practical terrestrial creation.

It should easily outperform both in at least one important respect: the ability to hoist...
