BIO: George Simpson was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1958.
He has had a life-long interest in the subject of UFOs since seeing one together with his sisters in 1967.
He read the book “UFO’s, Where do they come from?” by Richard Tambling in 1969 while in primary school.
He witnessed the initial part of the final flight of Frederick Valentich on October 21st, 1978 from his family home in Beaumaris.
He became a member of VUFORS (The Victorian UFO Research Society) in 1987, just after the Knowles Case was reported in the news.
He later joined the VUFORS committee as a photographic consultant, listed as “Photographic Officer” in 1992, and served on that committee for the following 8 years.
He then set up the Victorian branch of AUFORN (The Australian UFO Research Network) in 2000, ran investigations and followed up hundreds of sighting reports over the next 14 years, and ran four public meetings each year for that period, as the Director for the state of Victoria. During this period he also wrote a regular column titled “What Next” which was followed by “Now Then” for the Ufologist Magazine, from 2000 until the magazine closed in February 2018.
He participated in the research, assistance and filming of the first episode of the Science Channel production of “Unexplained Files” in March 2013, which examined the Valentich mystery.
He closed AUFORN Victoria in 2014, following the closure of AUFORN in Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia.
He began writing this book on the Valentich case in March 2017 after a member of the local group, Victorian UFO Action (VUFOA), Ron White, suggested the idea.
