Small army of UFO believers descend on quiet town of Limoges in France hoping to learn to connect with alients

Thousands of believers in extra-terrestrial life form descended on the quiet French town of Limoges on Saturday, hoping to connect with the aliens they are certain exist.
Several thousand self-professed ‘awakening individuals’ made their way to the silver saucer-shaped Zenith Limoges Metropole building in a field off one of the main highways.
Symposium Exovision was expected to draw 2,200 attendees who have paid between €150 and €190 to attend. The event, organised by a group called Alliances Célestes, claims to want to prepare and train humanity for the arrival of extra-terrestrials or “new-style encounters”.
While many might dismiss the event as a wacky yet harmless convention by a fringe group, French officials say the event is not as benign as it seems. They claim attendees are there to peddle conspiracy theorists and extremism.
“I was stunned that such an event took place in Limoges,” Thierry Miguel, vice-president of the Haute-Vienne department council tweeted, describing the conference as a breeding ground for extremism and conspirators.
One of the conference invitees who has drawn particular attention is Antoine “Q” Cuttitta, who is a known QAnon sympathiser and hosted a YouTube channel that peddled conspiracy theories before it was shut down for breaching the platform’s policies.
According to Conspiracy Watch, the Frenchman promotes the same conspiracy theories developed by QAnon: that a satanic elite rules the world and is behind a massive paedophile ring and that the 2020 US election was rigged.
Though media are banned, two reporters from regional news media Le Populaire managed to infiltrate it.
They said the general director of the group Alliances Célestes, Jean-Michel Raoux, was dressed in a blue and yellow outfit and cap, and introduced himself as being from the planet “Niam”.
Mr Raoux presented a set of grainy black-and-white photos to the crowd as irrefutable proof of alien life.
According to Le Populaire, Mr Raoux said he meets regularly with aliens, that he can draw extra-terrestrials to specific places on earth, and that he witnessed UFO landings.
The crowd also heard from Anne Givaudan, a “galactic reporter” who said she comes from the land of Shambhala and told attendees that she saw human-animal hybrids in Antarctica.
Mr Miguel, who said the event risked making Limoges the laughing stock of France, said he plans to organise a public meeting on the role of science and social progress.
“When a society is dysfunctional, it takes refuge in values like these,” he said.
