EUREKA SPRINGS — It’s been said that Elvis, to satisfy a hankering, would fire up the jet and fly across the country to get a hamburger from a certain restaurant.

It would only make sense that extra-terrestrial beings, overcome by the munchies, would likewise fire up the flying saucer and travel across the galaxy to get some southern-zapped chicken from Arkansas. Or so suggested Ken “Casper” Bergeron of Fayetteville, whose passion is looking for UFOs.

“I don’t know if they’re looking for lunch or what,” joked Bergeron, noting that many UFOs have been sighted around chicken farms in northwest Arkansas. “They probably have Buffalo wild wings where they come from, I don’t know.”

No UFOs were reported at the Sonic drive-in this past weekend, but plenty of earthlings were in town to talk about them.

Between 350 and 400 people made the trip, presumably in cars, to Eureka Springs for the Ozark UFO Conference at the Inn of the Ozarks. It was a time for greeting old friends and fellow UFO hunters, for swapping stories and relating experiences concerning UFOs, buying and selling books and other articles related to the subject and attending seminars conducted by some of the most respected UFO authorities around.

It was an eclectic group of stooped old men in suits, young men with pony tails, mountain men with beards wearing flannel shirts, matrons wearing jogging suits, Goth-like young women in black and others, diverse in their appearance, but united in their interest in unidentified flying objects (UFOs).

The conference’s motto, “They’re Here!”, pretty much summed up the feeling of most of the attendees. “Call me a nut or whatever you want to call me,” conference organizer Lou Farish said, “I’ve seen some things I can’t explain.”

Looking for UFOs

Although he believed wholeheartedly in the existence of UFOs, Bergeron took a lighthearted approach at times to the subject, as evidenced by his joke about ETs in search of KFCs.

Bergeron is the field investigator for the Arkansas chapter of the Mutual UFO Network, or MUFON, a national organization whose motto is “The truth is out there.” Along with state director Norm Walker of Tontitown, Bergeron manned the MUFON table at the conference.

Bergeron said he goes out three or four times a week to look for UFOs and he is seldom disappointed. They’re easily spotted if you know what to look for, he said.

Once, while at Devil’s Den State Park, Bergeron noticed some clouds beginning to glow. There was no moon out that night, so the light source had to come from somewhere else.

“We know (UFOs) hide in clouds,” Bergeron said. “I’ve seen them emerge from clouds.”

According to Bergeron, UFOs are getting good at mimicking the flight lights on airplanes, further confusing spotters.

Bergeron does not subscribe to the theory that UFOs are piloted by beings who have traveled great distances across the galaxy. Rather, they are the original inhabitants of Earth, he said, who are “conducting their experiments on us.”

Referring to the many caves in the Ozarks, Bergeron suggested that UFOs might have their bases underground. Farmers around Seligman, Mo., have reported lights that seem to be going into caves in the area. Using a Geiger counter, Bergeron said he has gotten indications of the presence of metal underground, such as some kind of machinery.
