You are really not alone … Why 10,000 Hongkongers are watching the skies for UFOs
Local UFO club has thousands of members, indicating the niche subject may be going mainstream
“The truth is out there” – the phrase made popular by Hollywood science-fiction television series, The X-Files, may have become clichéd, but for the Hong Kong UFO Club, it is their credo.
With more than 10,000 club members, the group says it conducts serious research and study into unidentified flying objects (UFOs), as well as related topics including alien contact, abductions, prophecies, exobiology, secret black projects, free energy, underground cities, and verifying sightings of UFOs.
While some have dismissed the work of the club as crazy, weird or pseudo-science, serious academic work is being conducted on the subject, and the UFO club wants to bring that knowledge to mainstream Hong Kong.
The club was founded in 1996, almost by accident, by Moon Fong Chung-moon. After travelling the world with another ufologist, and having her own UFO experience while standing on the Pyramid of the Moon in Teotihuacán, Mexico, she returned to Hong Kong.
Fong had attended a talk given by US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel and UFO researcher, Wendelle Stevens, at Hong Kong Stadium’s Sports House (now Olympic House). Stevens told the media in attendance after the event that they should talk to Fong, claiming she wanted to start a UFO club in Hong Kong.
