Thousands of UFO fanatics flocked to a small city in central France in the hopes of finally meeting extra-terrestrial life.
The event, organised by fringe group Alliances Célestes, reportedly drew around 2,200 people who each paid between €150 to €190 (£128 to £162) to attend the three day conference held in Zenith Limoges Metropole building in Limoges, a small city with a population of around 130,000.
Organisers said they wanted to prepare people for the arrival of aliens or 'new-style encounters.'
The event's website reads: 'The mission of this citizen delegation is to accompany humanity in this process, in order to properly inform and reduce the fear and stress that this type of encounter can generate.'
Though media was banned from the event, video of the conference was leaked to BFMTV, and showed thousands of people attentively listening to someone speaking on a set on the stage.

The stage was decorated with white furniture, including several seats and what appeared to be a high table on the right.
The background of the set was made up of 'futuristic' windows that portrayed stars rushing past the 'alien room' they were in.
The speaker can be heard telling conference attendees: 'We are in contact with civilizations. When I say in contact, it is with communication and a partnership, a collaboration.
'But they have a big problem, these civilizations, which is that they don't know how to communicate with the citizens of Earth.
'For what? Because the citizens of Earth are afraid.'
Two French reporters managed to sneak in, and said they saw Alliances Célestes' director Jean-Michel Raoux dressed in a blue and yellow outfit claiming he was a being from the planet 'Niam.'
Raoux reportedly claims he regularly meets with aliens and that he has the power to bring aliens to different parts of the Earth.
While many in France dismissed the event as a harmless conference, political figures warned that these events draw in conspiracy theorists and extremists
One person invited to the conference was QAnon sympathiser Antoine 'Q' Cuttitta
The crowd also heard from Anne Givaudan, a 'galactic reporter' who claimed she was from the land of 'Shambhala'. She told the conference's attendees that she has witnesses human-hybrid animals in Antarctica.

'That's why it's time to get up and say to ourselves, what are we doing? Do we trust beings who have always deceived us in all areas? A new world must emerge,' she told a crowd.
But while many in France dismissed the event as a harmless conference, political figures warned that these events draw in conspiracy theorists and extremists.
One person invited to the conference was QAnon sympathiser Antoine 'Q' Cuttitta.
The conspiracy theorist regularly posted conspiratorial videos to YouTube before the platform shut his channel down.
According to Conspiracy Watch, Cuttita helped set up the Human Health Alliance International, a group known for its embrace of 'alternative' medicine. It ran a platform that offered to connect patients with debilitating illnesses with 'aromatherapists', 'energeticians', 'magnetizers', 'massotherapists' or even 'naturopaths.'
'I was stunned that such an event took place in Limoges,' Thierry Miguel, vice-president of the Haute-Vienne department council tweeted.
'Who are these eccentrics who invite themselves to Limoges to put the ideas of charlatans and conspiracy theorists into people's heads?'
Miguel said he plans to organise a public meeting on the role of science and social progress.
'We cannot stand there with our arms crossed in the face of possible charlatans who will come and talk to us about theories from another time,' he told BFMTV.
'When a society is dysfunctional, it takes refuge in values like these. But we must strive to demonstrate the truth from the false by relying on science.'
