Only days after The Age of Disclosure UFO documentary premiered to mediocre reviews (most critics found it unconvincing and boring), the Sol Foundation launched its own effort to capitalize on the ongoing UFO publicity campaign swirling around Congress. The foundation, which is run by many of the talking heads from Age of Disclosure, including Garry Nolan, debuted four tiers of paid membership, ranging from $350 per year to an eye-watering $25,000 per year. At the highest level, the massive cost gives members a private dinner and an annual symposium with "key UAP figures." And to think, you usually have to pay $65 for a ticket to their convention panels to see them in person. According to Sol, your deep pockets go to support "deep thinkers," who, after all, need to be paid well to afford to sit around doing nothing all day. After its first year and a half of operations, Sol has done little more of note than to hold a conference where the same set of talking heads gave the same stories to a paying audience.

"S-O-L" was one of my mother's favorite phrases. Somehow, I believe her meaning applies here too.

Sounds like one of those "non-profit" outfits where 90+ percent of the take goes to meet administrative expenses.

I will defer to others on the topic of stripper waitresses. My patronage is limited to watering holes with no nudity involved.

I didn't know DC Eagle was still open. Butit's [sic] been established that the one pre-law program in the U.S. claims to teach its students "how to read paragraphs". Norm!

For $25,000 there better be extraterrestrial aliens in attendance. And maybe one of those ufo vehicles to peruse.

I sometimes think about how much easier life would be if I were willing to lie for money
