LARRY KING, HOST: Tonight, close encounters with UFOS -- is national security on the line?
High ranking government and military officials from around the world have seen what you won't believe. And they risk their reputations to make the case. They're here.

And so is Shirley MacClaine, who's had her own spacecraft sightings and can't wait for the chance to get on board.

Next on LARRY KING LIVE.

Good evening.

An historic occasion will take place in Washington on Monday. Former high level government employees, military officials and pilots from all over the world will come together. They'll discuss their own UFO sightings and encounters -- and they'll do it at the National Press Club in the nation's capital. Some of them will share their stories for the first time.

This group has gathered together to call on the United States government to take an active role in investigating cases involving unidentified flying objects.

That's the topic of our program here tonight.

Our panel here in Los Angeles, Fife Symington, the former governor of Arizona, who in 1997 ridiculed an infamous UFO sighting by thousands of people in the state and later admitted that he himself saw a craft.

James Fox, the filmmaker who is the executive producer of the award-winning feature length documentary "Out of the Blue" -- the definitive investigation of the UFO phenomenon.

Colonel Chuck Halt, United States Air Force, retired, was the deputy base commander of Bentwaters Woodbridge, a U.S. military base in Suffolk, England. And in 1980, Chuck and his patrol investigated an internationally known UFO encounter in Rendlesham Forest, close to the Bentwaters Woodbridge case. Sergeant Jim Pennison, United States Air Force, retired, was a Woodbridge security supervisor at that base in 1980. He says he sat with a UFO on the ground for 45 minutes before it hovered above him and shot into the air at an unearthly speed.

And in Copenhagen, Denmark is Nick Pope. For 21 years, Nick was a government official for the British Ministry of Defence. From '91 to '94, he ran the British government's UFO project at the Ministry of Defence, where he researched and investigated the UFO phenomenon for the British government.

Fife, are we now saying that the United States is taking this seriously or is this just an event?

What a sorry excuse for an adult discussion. The commercial breaks were buffered with silly music and 50s B-movie clips, and LK treated the whole thing like a joke. The guests were good and credible, though.

It's time to start taking this subject seriously. As far as I'm concerned, until someone can explain what my husband and I saw in the sky several years ago, they remain unidentified and we remain convinced that we aren't being told the whole story. We make no assumptions about the origins of the objects; we'd just like someone to offer a respectful and intelligent explanation for them.
