"UFOLOGISTS" CONVERGE ON WEST GERMANY

FRANKFURT, WEST GERMANY (OCT. 27) UPI -  Small creatures from outer space
with long arms, gray skin, pear-shaped heads and a varying number of eyes are
the topic of a four-day international conference on UFOs.

Forty-five ''UFOlogists'' from 20 countries are discussing and evaluating
their findings before an audience of 1,800 people who paid $250 to attend the
conference that ends Sunday.

Entitled ''Dialogue with the Universe,'' the event was organized by Munich
publisher Michael Hesemann, who proudly announced, ''There has never been a
UFO conference of this size in the whole world.''

But two West German UFO organizations accused the conference organizer of
''making a lot of money selling putative scientific findings to gullible
people.''

Nonetheless, Hesemann said his UFO conference aims at ''overcoming just a
little bit the enormous lack of information'' Germans have on
extraterrestrials
and ''finding ways to contact extraterrestrials.''
