Abstract

Yost attended two conferences which, combined, covered the wide field known as fringe science ? from overunity devices and Tesla speculations to alien visitation and the paranormal. He has attended such gatherings since 1984, both as a presenter and a spectator. Despite being an engineer and a practitioner of hard science, Yost has been venturing out onto the fringe since he was a teenager. His explorations have encompassed the metaphysical and the spiritual to a degree that has embedded strong positive impressions of this reality. The two conferences reviewed here shared much the same outlook and mindset, but were handled quite differently.
