UFOs: Truth or Fiction (Grades 4-8)
OPEN TO ALL SCHOOLS: Student Workshops, Special Events, Parent Programs

Are we actually alone, or is the government holding onto secrets? UFOs (now called UAPs!) have moved from wild conspiracy theories straight into mainstream news, high-tech military reports, and Hollywood blockbusters. In this mini-course, we’re going behind the scenes to separate total hoaxes from mind-bending reality. We’ll look at real radar footage, break down official government disclosures, and explore the stranger-than-fiction theories from world-renowned scientists and UFO investigators. Bring your curiosity and your critical thinking cap—it’s time to decide for yourself what’s really out there.
