The response to the Cardwell UFO Festival’s C-Files, a forum for people to discuss their UFO experiences, has been even more successful than organisers originally hoped!
\n\nTwenty people attended the C-Files at the inaugural event in 2014, and next year’s attendance exploded to over 80 people who joined in the forum. C-Files then received well over 100 people attending the event in 2017 to share their unusual stories and experiences.
\n\nCardwell is well known in UFO circles for the mysterious Cardwell Lights along with numerous UFO sightings. The region, including Tully which is known for its ”saucer nest”, are also renowned as being hot spots for unusual activity, including countless reports of mystery lights, UFOs, “hairy men”, large black cats and rainforest pygmies.
\n\nAll these unusual activities and experiences are discussed at the forum, where people come together to share and compare their unusual encounters. The C-Files forum is a confidential gathering. No photos or recordings are allowed, so everyone feels safe and comfortable talking openly about their unusual experiences. A big thank you to all those that attended the 2018 event.
