Did you read the thread? The OP didn't link to the allwebs site in the OP, it was a different one.
And emailing Egyptian officials asking for a copy of a conference is harmless. It looks like an interesting conference and I personally would like to read or watch it.

People are calling it a hoax because it is hard to find any information on Dr. Alaa Shahein (the original name is wrong I am led to believe) and there are no sources or evidence in the article... It may as well as been me writing it!!!
I do actually believe it may be possible, but dont claim truth has prevailed because of this article... that is just utter lunacy. Proves people flag for no reason whatsoever here now.

if you do contact either of them, don't bother mentioning that you're seeking information to post here. Michael is not a big fan of ATS

I wrote a friend at UPenn - asked him to see if Dr. Shaheen attended there in the late 80s, as his resumes claims. From there I can get his UniCairo address, but need to know he's real first.

No need to mention ATS in any of the correspondences, unless of course the admins here want to break news instead.edit on 30-11-2010 by Jason88 because: engrish

I think we all need a little more verification to be honest - it's one site you gave. He's a professor working in the field for what appears to be 30-odd years. There are many questions about him after making a supposed statement of that magnitude - where is his body of work, where are other speaking engagements... this stuff is usually out in the public, and his isn't. So yes, my UPenn buddy will happily and easily tell me if he's real or not, and whatever else he's got about his work. From there I let the ATS community know to add more credibility or not to his grand UFO statement.
Also, I understand you get frustrated at ATS, especially when threads get this long and we all know not everyone reads that far back... but I've found providing a recap every 3 pages or so is helpful to keep everyone up to date - it should be the responsibility of the OP quite frankly.
In fact, admins, for popular threads, make it clear the OP must take charge of the content to include recaps and direction. My 2 cents.

I said you might not want to mention ATS if you were talking with Michael Cohen or the other guy who writes for him. If you get ahold of the dean, feel free to mention us. I doubt if he knows us.
