BIO: Dr. Michael P. Masters, a professor of biological anthropology at Montana Tech in Butte, Montana. He received a Ph.D. in Anthropology from the Ohio State University in 2009, where he specialized in human evolutionary anatomy, archaeology, and biomedicine.Dr. Masters spent the following decade developing a broad academic background that unites the fields of anthropology, astronomy, astrobiology and physics, to examine the premise that UFOs and Aliens are simply our distant human descendants, returning from the future to study us in their own hominin evolutionary past. His books: The Extratempestrial Model and, Identified Flying Objects: A Multidisciplinary Scientific Approach to the UFO Phenomenon, challenges readers to consider new possibilities while cultivating conversations about our ever-evolving understanding of time and time travel.
Dr. Franck Marchis is a senior planetary astronomer and chair of the exoplanet group at the Carl Sagan Center of the SETI Institute and Chief Scientific Officer and Founder at Unistellar. He began full-time work at the Institute in June 2011 after leaving a joint position with Institute and the department of astronomy at University of California, Berkeley. Marchis moved to the United States in October 2000 shortly after getting a Ph.D. from the University of Toulouse in France that he acquired while traveling around the world for his research and for the sake of exploration. Over the past nineteen years, he has dedicated his work to the study of our solar system, specifically the search for asteroids with moons, using mainly ground-based telescopes equipped with adaptive optics (AO). More recently he has been also involved in the definition of new generation of AOs for 8 -10 m class telescopes and future Extremely Large Telescopes.
He has also developed algorithms to process and enhance the quality of astronomical and biological images. He is currently the collaboration manager of the Gemini Planet Imager Exoplanet Survey, which consists in imaging and characterizing Jupiter-like exoplanets using an extreme AO system designed for the Gemini South telescope. Today, Marchis dedicates most of his energy to instruments capable of imaging and characterizing Earth-like exoplanets by being involved in education, public outreach, technology, and scientific investigations related to those ambitious projects both in the United States and in Europe. Marchis is also involved in startups related to astronomy so he joined Unistellar as a Chief Scientific Officer and VR2Planets as a scientific advisor in 2017. Marchis is a member of numerous science committees including the SETI Science council, the GPI steering Committee, the TMT Science Definition Team, PLOS One editor board, the Project Blue and the PLANETS Foundation Advisory board. He has co-authored more than 380 scientific publications, trained numerous students, and served as a science consultant and interviewee for numerous documentaries and movies in English, French, and Spanish. The asteroid (6639) was named Marchis in honor of his discovery of the first triple-asteroid system in 2007. He has been an affiliated Astronomer at Observatoire de Paris since 2003

BIO: Lee Speigel has presented credible, compelling stories about UFOs, Science and the Paranormal since 1975, when he produced and wrote a documentary record album, “UFOs: The Credibility Factor,” for CBS Inc. This marked the first time that a major recording company offered a UFO-related product to the public via a prime time TV infomercial. During production of his UFO album, Speigel and numerous law enforcement officers were involved in a historic UFO encounter in Lumberton, No. Carolina — the first well-documented, multiple witness, triangular-shaped UFO incident in America, highlighted in David Marler’s 2013 book, “Triangular UFOs: An Estimate of the Situation.” In 1978, Speigel’s second attempt at UFO disclosure took place on a world stage when he became the only person in history to produce a milestone presentation on UFOs at the United Nations. Under the sponsorship of Grenada, he brought together leading military and scientific experts (including astronomers J. Allen Hynek and Jacques Vallee), who urged world leaders to establish an international UFO study committee. Read more →

STEVE COLBERN is a Chemist/Materials Scientist with over 20 years of industrial experience. He is currently working in the area of carbon nanotubes and owns a nanotechnology company. Steve was a partner of the late Dr. Roger Leir from 2008 until his death in 2014, with both of them staring in the movie “Patient Seventeen” extracting off-world implants from abduction victims, his analysis is groundbreaking with one implant containing over 50 elements – some of which may not have originated on earth. In 2009 an “out of this world” event happened, as an unknown object crashed at farm yard in New Mexico, killing a cow from the resulting explosion. The farmer allowed Steve access to this sphere object allowing him to perform a material analysis on it remains. This analysis proves the object in question cannot be reproduced even with current technology and is truly a masterpiece of nanoengineering. Fast forward to 2019, this sphere object was identified by Patrick’s analysis to be “the root cause of global paranormal activity” operating in different states and modes – these objects have been misidentified as Spirits. The combination of their research is presented in the final chapter of the book, creating a “Silver Bullet” case that paranormal activity is real – but it’s not what people believe it is. But in fact something much bigger.. #QuantumParanormal

At age 17 David wanted to detect the unknown objects and he designed a sensitive optical sensing circuit and installed it into binoculars which enabled listening to modulated light. For the past 27 years, David has been co-owner and co-founder of an advanced electronic test and measurement equipment custom engineering and supply corporation. In his corporation he engineered a vector impedance cathode ray oscilloscope that fits in the palm of the hand. Spanning more than three decades he has engineered electronic devices including commercial HAM radio equipment, as well as prototypes in industrial and government contracts. He volunteers at Bellevue College where he provides technical maintenance, calibration, and operation of the astronomical observatory. David supplied all the very expensive research equipment used on the rooftops in the movie “A Tear in the Sky” He calibrated and operated all the equipment as well as conducted the analysis. He also supplied his new technology inventions that were used and demonstrated in the movie. #TearInTheSky

CHARLES LEAR has many interests, of which UFOs take up more than a little of his time. His main interests in the UFO subject are in the documented history the phenomenon has spawned and the people who investigate it, as this book reflects. Charles’ other interests are geology and paleontology and his familiarity with science and its disciplines informs his approach to the UFO subject. Having lived most of his life in New York City, where he made his living as a union stagehand and was involved in other aspects of theatre as a playwright, producer, director and Shakespearean actor, Charles now resides in New York, USA.

Nathan is the co-host of two shows focused on UFOs and High Strangeness, Calling All Beings and Liminal Phrames. While he spent half of his life steeped in the Christian tradition ultimately culminating in the completion of an MDiv, he no longer considers himself religious although finds that his experience and training in religious studies provide a unique and informative perspective on the UFO mystery. Nathan is not an experiencer in the traditional sense, but believes that the truth underlying the Phenomenon is likely to be found in emerging models of reality which consider individual experience, and consciousness in particular, to be the key to unifying the many varied aspects of the Phenomenon.
