Speaker Bio


STANTON FRIEDMAN
Stanton T. Friedman received BSc and MSc degrees in physics from the University of Chicago in 1955 and 1956.
He was employed for 14 years as a nuclear physicist for such companies as GE, GM, Westinghouse, TRW
Systems, Aerojet General Nucleonics, and McDonnell Douglas on such advanced, classified, eventually
cancelled, projects as nuclear aircraft, fission and fusion rockets, and nuclear powerplants for space He has
provided written testimony to Congressional Hearings, appeared twice at the UN, and been a pioneer in many
aspects of Ufology including Roswell, Majestic 12, the Betty Hill-Marjorie Fish star map work; analysis of the
Delphos, Kansas, physical trace case; crashed saucers, flying saucer technology and challenges to S.E.T.I.





KATHLEEN MARDEN









Kathleen Marden was thirteen on September 20, 1961, when Betty Hill phoned her nearby home to report that the
previous evening she and Barney had encountered a flying saucer in New Hampshire's White Mountains. A
primary witness to the evidence of the UFO encounter and the aftermath, Kathleen has intimate knowledge of the
Hill's biographical histories, personalities, and the never before published historical data pertaining to their
sensational stor
y. Co-author of CAPTURED! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience  Kathleen Marden is the
only person in possession of and with the legal right to present excerpts from the Hills' historic audio taped
hypnosis sessions with Dr. Benjamin Simon.  As such, conference attendees will find her material truly unique
and exciting. Kathy will also be here to discuss her and Stanton Friedman's latest book "Science is Wrong" which
is another real 'eye opener'.  You won't want to miss her and Stanton discuss the contents within this book.

DON SCHMITT
This Year Don will be focusing on 'DEATH BED CONFESSIONS' of those that eye witnessed aliens recovered
from the Roswell New Mexico crash site. MORE AND MORE EVIDENCE FLOWS PROVING THAT ALIENS DO
EXIST AND THEY ARE HERE!  


















Don Schmitt Former Director of Special Investigations and Co-Director of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO
Studies [CUFOS]. Consultant on the critically acclaimed movie, Roswell [Viacom, 1994], which was based on his
first book, UFO Crash at Roswell. Possessing  a Bachelors degree from Concordia University and currently taking
graduate courses in Criminal Justice at St. John’s Vowing  to continue a proactive Roswell investigation until
the ultimate truth behind Roswell is learned, Don will present to the audience actual eyewitness testimonies to
the  recovery of a UFO in 1947 just outside of Roswell, NM- including a story from witnesses that not only reveal
that alien crewmen
were packed in dry ice and placed in body bags but, most astonishing of all, one survived the crash. He will
present  true accounts of witnesses to the crash, the military containment of its recovery, the high level of security
surrounding all phases of the cleanup operation, deathbed confessions, sealed posthumous statements and,
most shocking of all, the extreme measures that the U.S. Government resorted to in preventing people from telling
the truth. Don's latest book, WITNESS TO ROSWELL is the  "story of the millennium," the story that keeps getting
bigger with each passing year, the story that begs for the shroud of secrecy and subterfuge to be vanquished onto
the rubble heap of failed government deception and lies. And the story they tell isn't about a silly weather balloon
device - or anything else made on this earth!

mysterious sunken city related to nearby Aztalan, to the Aztecs, and...to Atlantis? And what about Rocky, the lake
monster, often seen by terrified boaters?
Atlantis in Wisconsin; Long before the Vikings landed on the North American continent, there was an ancient
civilization in Wisconsin. Frank Joseph writes a compelling archaeological history about his lost Bronze Age
culture found beneath the depths of Rock Lake -- a culture which the evidence suggests had a lively copper trade
with the lost continent of Atlantis


BONNIE MEYER
Bonnie made contact with an alien 'Bird Man' and wrote a book
on her experience and the messages this alien shared with her..
Strange and even a little difficult to believe being that most researchers
have never mentioned this species of alien. BUT this year, we have evidence
to support her claim - Evidence that even she knows nothing about.  There is a
big surprise this year at the conference for our guests as well as Bonnie Meyer.


Bonnie Meyer Wisconsin's own Bonnie Meyer will be speaking on an unholy alliance that was signed between the
negative aliens and the secret world government in Europe in 1572 and with the US in 1946. According to Meyer,
this secret governments knew with whom they were dealing but were not aware they were being deceived.
Watch for Bonnie's  Booth at the Burlington Vortex Conference speaking on:
Humans traded for alien technology
Alien-provided technology used for manufacturing diseases
Underground and underwater alien bases, and tunnel systems
Global satellite and electronic surveillance
Earth changes and weather manipulation
US government has built UFOs
Global impact of personal choices
Bonnie Meyer's subject matter not only exposes truth but brings to us powerful messages of hope that all is not
lost and that each person has the potential to make a difference

    detailed drawings viewed by only a handful of people to date).

Fritz Zimmerman










Fritz Zimmerman is an  Independent historian & researcher. Ardent antiquities preservationist. Author of two-
volume series on the Nephilim, their previously-untold history: their origins from across the globe, their worship
practices, their lineage, and their final destination in the Mid-Ohio Valley and subsequent rise to the Allegewi
Hopewell Indian tribe. Second volume in the series includes a travel guide to their burial mounds and earthworks.
This volume gives the traveler insight into the Sky or Sun father and Earth Mother worship, that is evident at every
site; if you know what to look for. The series is a result of 10 years of intensive research, travel and unprecedented
chronicling of hundreds of burial mounds and earthworks as of yet undiscovered and overlooked by traditional
archaeologists.  
The Nephilim Chronicals: Fallen Angels of the Ohio Valley

Peter Moon










Peter's latest book takes him to Romania where he uncovers a remarkable archeological find.  Unbeknownst to
most, there is an ancient sphinx located in the Bucegi Mountains of Romania and near the border of the famous
land known as Transylvania. In 2003, the Pentagon discovered, through the use of state-of-the-art satellite
technology, an anomaly within the Bucegi Mountains. Through the highest levels of Freemasonry, the Pentagon
was able to secure an alliance with the most secret department of the Romanian Intelligence Service which is
known as Department Zero.    Together, the Romanians and the Americans utilized the Pentagon's secret
technology to penetrate a chamber inside of the mountain which was otherwise inaccessible to humans. What
was discovered eventually was a holographic Hall of Records left by an advanced civilization near three
mysterious tunnels leading into the Inner Earth. His book, "
Transylvanian Sunrise" chronicles the discovery of
these modern day artifacts which represent the dawn of a new era for Mankind.   Peter Moon is brought into the
fold through his Romanian Publisher who just happens to be the publisher of this remarkable story. Peter, whose
original connection to Romania came through Dr. David Anderson of the Time Travel Research Center,
recognized that such satellite technology would had to have utilized Dr. Anderson's proprietary space-time
technology for maintaining satellites in orbit and pursues the matter further. This leads Peter Moon on an
adventurous journey to Romania to visit the Romanian Sphinx and a remarkable encounter with his old friend, Dr.
David Anderson. There, he learns of a mysterious association between the mysterious time travel scientist and
Radu Cinamar."  — which he shares with the audience of the Burlington Vortex Conference.

The Wisconsin Trail- Montauk to Wisconsin and Finally to Burlington

The discovery of ancient pyramids in New York at Montauk Point and the mysterious Pharaoh family of Montauk
leads to the further discovery of a quantum relic which opens the door to these mysteries and many more,
including an ancient blue race of people, the forerunners of the Pharaohs, who descended from the star Sirius
and possessed the biological truth behind the Virgin Birth. The occult biology of this is revealed along with many
mysteries which launches a new era once prophesied by Native Elders as the Second Coming of the Pharaohs,
said to signal the return of ancient wisdom, universal brotherhood and healing.

"This year's speakers are key pieces of a puzzle who

Don Schmitt  is dedicated to
informing those who desire
to know the truth behind an
extraordinary event that
occurred over fifty years ago.
A cover-up of the true nature
of this event was
immediately instituted by
elements of the United
States military that still
survives, leaking but intact, to
this very day. Can our
government keep a
secret...YES...Can Don
Schmitt uncover the
truth...YES!

The Primordial Language, Confirmation of the Divine Creator by Anita Meyer. It’s a new book that just
came out and let me tell you this book is phenomenal...as is the author

I cannot even begin to tell you what it all encompasses, but what it does reveal is that the Hebrew letters
are of a divine nature. I almost fell off my chair reading this book when it linked a mathematical unit that is
found in all of nature (such as in the spiral arms of our universe) to one model form (that has this
mathematical unit) that forms all the letters in the complete Hebrew alphabet. Which clearly shows us that
the Hebrew letters are of an intelligent design. Supposedly the author claims that these very letters are the
same letters that were given to Moses on Mt. Sinai that were said to have been inscribed by the finger of
God Himself specified in Exodus 31:18.

Additionally what is also amazing is that the author links this one form that forms all the 22 Hebrew letters
of the Hebrew alphabet to the Great Pyramid of Egypt. The diagrams in her book are astounding and show
that within the Great Pyramid of Giza the Hebrew letter Ayin is found, which as you know is symbolic for an
actual eye which is also found on the one dollar bill; known as the all seeing eye.

Visit Anita at the Burlington Vortex Conference this year
She will have a booth at the conference from Monday thru Thursday

Paranormal of Southeastern
Wisconsin. This is the

Meet the Paranormal
Investigators of Kenosha at their
booth at the Burlington Vortex
Conference   -
Candice Shatkins - Author of Haunted Kenosha  - Ghosts, Legends and Bizarre Tales  and founder of
the Paranormal Investigators of Kenosha!

Meet Candice at the Burlington Vortex Conference- Wed and Thursday
Haunted Kenosha : Ghosts, Legends and Bizarre Tales (2009)

"In its 174-year history, Kenosha has been home to many seeking refuge from the bustling city life. But
what if some of the early residents have never left?

What unknown spirits lurk among the living in the Gateway to Wisconsin? Join Candice Shatkins, a
founding member of Paranormal Investigators of Kenosha, Wisconsin as she uncovers the spooky
secrets and unlikely legends of Kenosha County. From a secret burial chamber under a library to
Wisconsin’s very own Wolfman, a shipwreck on Black Tuesday to the haunted observatory tower of a
former seminary and boarding school, Kenosha’s ghosts are sure to delight visitors and residents
alike in this stirring account of the area’s historic haunts."  
Mary Sutherland author of  Forgotten in Time" is Book One in her Five Book Series "In Search of Ancient Man" -

Author and researcher Mary Sutherland believes that the human race and all life
on planet  earth has and is being held captive by a race of creator gods known as
the Anunnaki. To guarantee and maintain their control, deals were made and
continue to be made with a selected group of humans, who have proclaimed
themselves to be the ‘chosen ones’.

Contemptuously they view the human race as ‘peasants’ and their secret agenda
shows total disregard for the quality of life on this planet.

Through acts of genocide and spilling of the blood of millions history was re-written
and the identity of the true people of earth was forgotten in Time.

Sutherland’s upcoming series ‘In Search of Ancient Man’ will provide proof positive
that we need not look to the sky for the return of the ‘sky gods’ for the simple
reason they never left. They remain on earth, hiding in the shadows using their
‘shepherd kings’ or ‘chosen ones’ to carry on their hidden agenda .


 "Serpent headed when the glamour was lifted, but appearing to man as men
among men. Crept they into the councils, taking form that were like unto men.
Slaying by their arts the chiefs of the kingdoms, taking their form and ruling o'er
men. Only by magic could they be discovered, only by sound could their
faces be seen. Sought they from the  kingdom of shadows, to destroy man and
rule in his place." Emerald Tablets
Welcome to Prevention Healing   Mary Jo Fahey

New environments bring new health problems. Conventional medical treatments never deal with the
reasons why illnesses exist. They frequently create new health problems as side effects in their attempts to
treat symptoms.

Modern medicine has been very successful in dealing with many serious infectious diseases and acute
medical problems, but now we are facing greater challenges.

We are dealing with chronic illnesses based on their symptoms such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,
Allergies, Hypoglycemia, Anxiety, Depression, Irritability, Attention Deficit and Memory Loss, and later
diagnosed with Diabetes, Arthritis, Osteoporosis, Heart Disease, Cancer, Alzheimer's, and many others.

These chronic illnesses are strongly influenced by our life style, diet, toxins and environmental factors that
are often dismissed as problems beyond our control. But we don't have to accept and live with these labels.


"Think differently! We must correct the underlying problems that cause our illnesses.
Only by doing so, will our bodies correct themselves and return to optimal health." Simon Yu, M.D.
Representing Dr. Yu will be Mary Jo Fahey  who was instrumental in the writing and production of this book.
