Feschino would come to be interested in UFOs in the early 1990s when he visited a relative’s farm in Braxton County, West Virginia. Crop circles had appeared overnight, and UFOs were frequently sighted over the region and for many years. He very carefully and meticulously documented these anomalies and then shared his research with British crop circle expert, electrical engineer Mr. Colin Andrews who catalogued Frank’s information in his world crop circle database.

BIO: Miguel Romero, aka: Red Pill Junkie. Agnostic gnostic, walking conundrum & metaphysical oxymoron (with emphasis in the ‘moron’ part), the mysterious RPJ leaves a double life: By day he serves as Grand Master in the International Sacred Order of Lucha Libre, but at night he pursues his life-long study of everything considered mysterious and/or ‘paranormal’ –a term he personally detests. When he’s not exploring the web looking for his daily fix of Forteana, he can be found making artsy stuff, fooling around on social media, or offering his services as writer and news administrator at The Daily Grail (dailygrail.com). He also regularly participates in other websites and podcasts like Radio Misterioso and Where Did the Road Go?
He impatiently awaits for the return of the mothership… or the zombie Apocalypse, in Mexico City; whichever comes first.

Ben Hansen Bio: Ben Hansen’s paranormal inspiration stems from the series, “The X-Files.” Hansen grew up watching the series frequently, which gave him an insatiable desire to explore mysteries of the unknown.

After graduation, he worked for several private and public agencies investigating a wide range of crimes, eventually becoming a special agent for the FBI. While Hansen has an impressive track record investigating cases at the state and federal levels, he is still anchored in his “X-Files” roots and pursues paranormal cases. Hansen’s knowledge of criminal investigation and paranormal investigation has caught the attention of several media outlets. Breaking down captured media of alleged Bigfoot, UFO and ghost events, Hansen provides his expert opinion on some of the most current viral stories in the press. He has presented his research and findings at dozens of conferences across the globe. Most recently, Ben stars in the new series, “UFO Witness” now streaming on discovery+.
Bio: Calvin Parker was 19 years old in 1973 when he and his friend Charles Hickson witnessed a UFO while fishing in Pascagoula Mississippi. They reported seeing strange creatures that took them into the craft and examined them. Terrified, they went to the police. Their story leaked, and the incident made headlines. Hickson, 42 years old at the time, was a family friend who had just gotten Parker a job. However, Parker wanted nothing to do with the publicity they were receiving and left town. He rarely spoke of the incident until now. With the release of his new book telling his side of the story, he is now doing interviews and a few appearances before he goes back to focusing on retirement and fishing.

Interested in “facts that don’t fit” from an early age, in 1991, Greg Bishop co-founded a magazine called The Excluded Middle, which was a journal of UFOs, conspiracy research, psychedelia and new science. It ceased publication in 1999. “Wake Up Down There!,” which anthologized many of the articles and features, was published in 2000 by Adventures Unlimited.
Greg’s second book was “Project Beta: The Story of Paul Bennewitz, National Security, and the Creation of a Modern UFO Myth” (2005 Simon & Schuster/ Pocket Books) which documented a government campaign of disinformation perpetrated against an unsuspecting U.S. citizen. “Weird California,” a portrait of strange and eerie history and places in the Golden State, was released by Sterling Publishers and Barnes & Noble in 2006. Greg contributed about 75% of the material and photos.
From December 2007 to November 2011, Greg blogged for the UFO and paranormal site Ufomystic. His current book “It Defies Language” is composed for the most part of entries from that blog along with older material and brand new articles written just for the collection.
