“Encounters: U.F.O. Experience,” the world’s first comprehensive exhibition exploring reports of U.F.O.s, alien abductions and encounters with extraterrestrials.
Presented by Intergalactic Brands, the family-friendly exhibition features seven different galleries that focus on areas such as ancient alien encounters, the military’s role in modern sightings, and pop culture’s fascination with extraterrestrial life.
Unique and extraordinary, much of the Encounters exhibition content was gathered from the private collections of UFOlogists from around the world. There are displays of original and replica artifacts, conceptual models, and documented film clips and recordings that support claims of ancient encounters through modern day sightings. Replicas and models include the famous Easter Island statues and Egyptian Hieroglyphic tablets reporting extraterrestrial sightings. The exhibition also explores the mysteries of Area 51 and Roswell, and features authentic video and audio recordings of people reporting alien encounters.

Among the displays is information about the Roswell, N.M., incident of 1947 when, some believe, the U.S. military recovered a crashed alien spacecraft and bodies. Replicas of the Roswell Daily Record are among the artifacts, and the different classifications of alien encounters and UFO sightings are described.
Around the corner is the "sightings gallery," where a video plays UFO eyewitness testimonies. Another video shows footage of spacecrafts and asks viewers to determine if what they are seeing could be real or is a known hoax.
And, particularly for kids, Bouquet said, is the alien body whose "guts" can be touched.
The gallery also includes a room where guests can listen with headphones to real 911 calls — 82 in total — from people reporting UFOs.
The final room is dubbed the "abduction gallery," meant to look like the inside of an alien mothership. It holds preserved species inside jars and attempts to explain ufology from the 1970s to the present day, including some tie-ins to pop culture.
Getting into the abduction gallery involves going past the door marked "Do not enter: Alien autopsy occurring" and walking through a small tunnel where a fog machine offers an eerie feel. The tunnel, Bouquet said, is meant to re-create the feeling of abductees who report seeing a white light and feeling disoriented.
Before exiting the exhibition, viewers can take pictures next to a menacing alien from the "Alien" films.
An "escape room" experience, themed as fleeing from an alien abduction, is expected to open in the coming weeks. It will have a separate admission fee.
"Encounters: U.F.O. Experience" came to Anaheim after runs in Arizona and South Carolina. About 1,000 people have seen it so far in Orange County, and nearly 40,000 viewed it during its three-week run in Arizona, Bouquet said.

I agree with both of you guys, this site is a real mess when one try's to post blogs or even comment sometimes, especially those stupid pop up adds. I have been complaining to Ben all of last year, he just says it me, not knowing how to get around them. It is so frustrating when one is trying to get through to the people many on the site at the same time and it blocks up the browser, I was using windows 8 on my old laptop before it blew up last month, now I am using windows 8.1 and have the same problems with this site. I changed browsers from Safari to Mozilla Firefox its a lot different, not as good but works better as Safari was not made for Windows. All in all its been to difficult to post or comment, I feel like Drekx, its not worth all the time and frustration one has to go through so I to have almost stopped posting and commenting, til Ben fixes the problem, if he ever does, it seems that Big is not always better. I have posted this before for all but don't think Ben reads them or cares huh! Adonai
Hi Ravinder, nice post. Here is another article and more photos on the subject matter ..
Thanks for sharing.

UFOs have landed in Anaheim.
Inside the city's GardenWalk center, in the suite formerly occupied by Tommy Bahama, is a new walk-through exhibition called "Encounters: U.F.O. Experience," which organizers call a beginner's course to ufology — the study of visual records and other alleged evidence of unidentified flying objects — that will appeal to both children and adults.
"This is a 101 on UFOs," said Brian Bouquet, a San Juan Capistrano resident who curated the content and created the storyline.
The exhibition, which opened Jan. 1 and is tentatively scheduled to run through May 31, features galleries containing replicas of artifacts related to ufology, as well as videos and informative text, all in about 3,800 square feet.

After passing the entrance, which is highlighted with a replica E.T. from the 1982 classic film, patrons go into a gallery dedicated to the "ancient aliens" hypothesis, which theorized that extraterrestrials visited Earth and influenced early humanity.
Inside, viewers can learn about the mysterious Moai statues on Easter Island, the Nazca Lines in Peru and Pumapunku in Bolivia, where precisely cut stones held together without any mortar has some theorizing that advanced alien technology served as an aid in the construction.
"We don't have even modern cranes that can lift the heavy rocks into those positions," Bouquet said.
The second room, which Bouquet considers the "Area 51 military room," brings viewers into the modern era of ufology, beginning in the 1940s to the 1950s. During that time, the term "flying saucers" came into the general lexicon, and government entities like the military began paying attention to reports of UFO sightings.

Yeah and I can think of a few ACC members who would make the perfect Alien exibitionists themselves .. Lol
Should have a 3D Large Screen cinema in it showing UFO SIGHTINGS
OK Kalki...Why abduction...??? And also, why did you ignore my ANSWERS to your QUESTIONS anent the identity of the ET craft, on your previous discussion....??? I provided a comprehensive explanation for you and felt that you could not actually give a damn....Maybe when you ask questions, you can respond to the answers...That way I will be more inclined to respond to your blogs or discussions...
Note : this time after a few goes the reply box came up
OK Krishna Kalki, thanks for the clarification...
Yes, the site does have technical fault issues and can be frustrating for all of us....I get buggered up (LOL) by that "divine blueprint" advert script, which delays me entering as a member and signing on, and selecting the "no" option, almost every time....accessing by laptop....Glad you read my replies and I really hope they help all readers....
Thanks dear friend....Glad to finally speak directly with you on ACC, after months....It's been a while...
Cheers, Drekx Omega
Note : the reply box came up this time and stayed put as it tends to dissapear while you are writing and after a few goes you just give up. I pay extra attention to all your articles and comments as they are like higher knowledge
Ta friend.....!!! Yes I have to ration what I contribute on ACC, now, as the technical problems just cause a great time waste of effort and put users in a bad mood, if we keep hammering the damn keyboards, fruitlessly.....I spent about an hour earlier, trying to get on and post a birthday message on Lisa's wall....I was delayed by Ben's ads, which run script, forcing the page to have to be recovered.....And it won't stop simply when we press the "no" option to his ad....Just freezes up and you have to go out and jump back in again....
Anyway, if I can render people informed, empowered and happy, I'm happy, too.....Thanks again, dear friend Ravinder..... ;-)
Drekx
