Your college just threw away $1500+.

He came to Sonoma State University a couple of years ago. His talk was awful. Not just bad in the typical-UFO-coverup-nonsense sort of way, but just bad. He used slide projectors, had no images at all (the UFOs shown were drawings), and at one point ran a tape recorder which played various themes from Close Encounters while a narrator (presumably Hastings, I don't remember) talked about the "coverup".

Here is my summary of his talk here.
