Many skeptics surround the topic of UFO existence, but Hastings insists all of the information he presents at his lectures are from credible sources.
"What I offer is factual material. I present government document after document that includes high level CIA, FBI and military personnel that are behind the scenes and speaking about UFOs as a concrete reality," Hastings said.
Hastings has lectured at around 500 universities since 1981, and his upcoming visit to UNCW will be his second.
With Halloween just around the corner, ACE is sponsoring the lecture due in part to its unusual and otherworldly content.
"I realized that his interesting topic-UFOs and UFO conspiracy theories-would be a perfect match for around Halloween," Foley said. "Not only is the content interesting, but it can definitely set that eerie tone for the Halloween season, which is something I feel a lot of students are looking for."
Hastings realizes the skepticisms surrounding UFOs, but hopes his upcoming audience at UNCW keeps an open mind about the much-debated topic of UFO existence.
"The most important thing is that people should at least look at the evidence before drawing any conclusions," Hastings said. "Anyone who keeps an open mind and wants to learn something new about UFOs will be quite surprised by the information that I have."

Dear Amanda Smith,
Thanks for reporting on this lecture. I saw Robert Hastings on CNN Larry King Live, "Debate Over Existence of UFOs". The whole UFO thing is more interesting that I ever imagined. (Continued…)
