A Westford woman who believes in aliens — but has never seen one herself — organized a conference to bring those who have experience with extraterrestrial life together, according to Wicked Local.

The Greater New England UFO Conference, which was put together by Susan Spuhler, will take place from October 16-17 at Leominster City Hall. That’s not far from where Spuhler’s mother once saw a spaceship or flying saucer soar over their home in the 1960s, she told Wicked Local.

For those who feel a little anxious about encountering aliens, there’s no need to worry — Spuhler says none are expected to make an appearance at the event.

“I think that the aliens, if they do exist in whatever form, would have to present themselves to us in a manner that wouldn’t cause fear and mass panic,’’ Spuhler said.
