From that point on he has investigated hundreds of sightings around the country including nearly three decades researching the events in Roswell. He now hosts A Different Perspective, the No. 2 rated radio show/pod cast on the X-Zone Broadcast Network. Among his latest books are Roswell in the 21st Century, Encounter in the Desert about the Socorro landing and the recently published The Best of Project Blue Book.
