The 3rd Annual Leeds Exopolitics Expo, a three-day conference held at the University of Leeds

This coming August sees the West Yorkshire city of Leeds play host to a series of lectures and films on the question of visitation by extra-terrestrials; asking questions of how the issues would be handled the media, by government and by the military. The politics of disclosure of such an event is defined as Exo-Politics.


CNN correspondent-turned-screenwriter Bryce Zabel has created five prime-time television series, notably NBC’s Emmy-winning UFO series “Dark Skies”. He also worked with Steven Spielberg on the TV mini-series “Taken” which deals with close encounters of the fourth kind. In 2011 he published his non-fiction book, A.D. After Disclosure: The People’s Guide to Life After Contact, which is being developed as a weekly television series. Co-written by historian Richard Dolan, himself a regular speaker at the Leeds conference, “AD” is a look into how disclosure might happen and what the repercussions on society might be.

The event is organised by Keighley based scientist, Anthony Beckett, and Skipton-born Open University tutor Andrew Johnson who now lives in Derbyshire.

Anthony Beckett describes the event as “one of the premiere events of its kind with delegates travelling from across Europe to attend.” “There is a growing belief that there really is something going on in our skies that is quite possibly extra‐terrestrial visitation. But if it isn’t ET, then just what could it be that is still being tracked on radar, witnessed by trained military observers and seen by the general public – 60 year after governments told us ‘there’s nothing to see here’... That argument just doesn’t hold water anymore.”
