A Florida museum has unveiled an otherworldly offering for patrons in the form of a fantastic new exhibit that explores the UFO phenomenon. Dubbed 'UFO: Denial, Disclosure, and Discernment," the unique showcase reportedly opened on December 1st at the Elliott Museum in the city of Stuart. Among the features at the exhibit are displays detailing the distribution of sightings across America, the changing public perception of the phenomenon, classic cases from UFO lore, and a celebration of crop circles. In a sign of the times, the showcase also features a virtual ufologist that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to provide answers to visitors' questions about the enigmatic mystery.
Spearheaded by Elliott Museum CEO Rob Steele, who has long been fascinated by the phenomenon, the exhibit was developed over the last 18 months in response to the growing public and government interest in UFOs. While some may scoff at so-called flying saucers being showcased by the site, he stressed that they did their due diligence when it came to what is being presented. "It's a lot like making maple syrup. You have to boil out of all the chatter from the actual facts," Steele mused, "we spent a great deal of time and we're convinced this is a very credible exhibit." UFOs: Denial, Disclosure, and Discernment is set to run through August 31st, 2025, though perhaps it will become a permanent fixture if it proves to be particularly popular with patrons.
