Matt Tiller holds a Masters in Advanced Psychological Studies as well as other certifications and academic degrees that include psychology, sociology, theology, and various foreign languages. In 2018, Matt says he was inspired to take action in the field of Ufology after reading the New York Times’ report on AATIP. Opportunity or perhaps fate led him to the SCU in 2019.

He is best known as the creator of the Black Vault, a web site that houses thousands of UFO related documents obtained through FOIA from a wide variety of government agencies. He has been the master of ceremonies at many UFO conferences and symposiums in recent years and is one of the leaders in the UFO community.
He has spent several months investigating the AATIP program, some of the leaders of the AATIP program and the footage of UFOs taken by Navy fighter pilots. All this originated with the TV program Unidentified: Inside America’s UFO Investigation.
His book is Inside the Black Vault: The Government’s UFO Secrets Revealed. It takes us on a journey through the secret world of unidentified aerial phenomena that has plagued the government since the 1940s. Declassified records prove that UFOS are one of the most highly classified subjects. What makes the book interesting is the journey that John took in his efforts to retrieve the documents from various agencies using his expertise in FOIA.

Jan Harzan is the Executive Director of MUFON. He’s been a member of that organization for a very long time and has worked at administration of MUFON for many years.

Rob has a degree in physics and spent his career at the US Patent and Trademark Office working on intellectual properties in a number of areas including aeronautics and astronautics.
His UFO involvement goes back to 1968 during what he called his larval stage, when the ongoing sightings and the University of Colorado UFO study permanently nailed his attention. Once he arrived in Washington, D.C. area, he joined the Fund for UFO Research and was subsequently elected to the executive committee. Around 2006, as the Fund wound down dur to the rise of the Internet and other factors, he was asked to join MUFON’s Board of Directors and continues to serve there.
He wanted to note that although the Fund still exists, it is largely dormant.
John Steiger has been engaged in UFO research since 2010. After attending the Roswell UFO Festival, John became inspired by the idea of a jury trial drama – with the audience as jury – to examine the truth between the arguments advanced by pro-Roswell UFO advocates and anti-Roswell UFO skeptics. Once he completed THE ROSWELL TRIAL, John proceeded to research THE RENDLESHAM FOREST UFOS devising a Board of Inquiry to question the prime witnesses and determine just what happened. His final drama herein, WILL TO BELIEVE: The Brooklyn Bridge UFO Investigation, is presented in the form of a debate among the principals as to the credibility of this transcendent alien abduction. THE UFO TRILOGY is John's first publication.
On October 11, 1973, the then 19-year-old Calvin Parker and his friend, Charles Hickson, were fishing in Pascagoula River in MS. They were abducted by three humanoids, taken into a glowing craft. On board the alien ship, both were subjected to a physical examination, before being returned to the river bank. When the ship departed, they found a telephone and called the sheriff.
The next day, their encounter was national news which seemed to kick off the October 1973 wave of UFO sightings. Last year Parker told his story in detail for the first time including his regression sessions conducted by the late Budd Hopkins. Since publication of the book, other witnesses have been located and Parker has related additional past encounters with the aliens. His latest book is Pascagoula – The Story Continues.

Andy Marocco is a Flight 19 researcher and historian. After 70 years, he believes that one part of the Flight 19 mystery has now been solved.
Over the past 3 years, he has discovered new and exciting information that was unknown and overlooked by the public and other Bermuda Triangle researchers. These clues have allowed him to calculate the probable location of the PBM Mariner, known by the call sign as “Training 49,” which disappeared after Flight 19 was lost. After presenting his findings to the Naval Air Station, Ft. Lauderdale Museum, they thought his research would lead to the successful recovery of Training 49. Therefore, he is excited to announce that the Museum has agreed to become a partner and the curator of the expedition that they call “Project Mariner.”
He has been publishing for over twenty years, and during this time has had the opportunity to publish some of the really great stories of America's History.
Some of the books he wrote, and many are written by selected authorities, while others are reproductions of significant historical publications.
Over the years, he has discovered dozens of artifacts, hundreds of manuscripts, and literally thousands of historic photographs -- all previously unpublished. All of the historic photos are carefully restored and each artifact, manuscript, and photograph he obtains is donated to public archives.
Having been a child of the late 50’s and throughout the 60’s, Bernie literally grew up in the middle of the “Space-Age.” He was surrounded by Sci-Fi themed comics, Sci-Fi themed black and white B movies and Sci-Fi television shows. And let’s not forget the many pulp sensationalist Flying Saucer expose magazines that adorned the newsstands at the time. So, believing in the unbelievable came believably easy for Bernie. Flying Saucers landing out in distant country fields, disgorging humanoids who run all over the place collecting rocks? NO PROBLEM! Now, throw Ghosts, haunted houses, the Abominable Snowmen (He didn’t have Bigfoot’s back then.) Nessie, silver-screen Werewolves, the monster under bed, or the one lurking in the closet into the mix, and the Fortean garden of the mind is thoroughly fertilized.
In the mid to late 1970s, Tessman was field investigator with the Aerial Phenomenon Research Organization (APRO) and Florida State Section Director for MUFON, but her work on the UFO puzzle began when she was 4 years old, possibly 5 when she was abducted twice by UFO beings in 1952/’53. Tessman has always had a few consciousness memories from those experiences; the most vivid memory is that her alleged “guide” alleged said, “We are from your future.” After many decades, I now have reached a point of certain knowledge, that at least some UFO occupants are Future Humans.
In 1981, Tessman underwent hypnotic regression with Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle, at the University of Wyoming, and she claims to have remembered remembered many details of her alleged childhood encounter. She claims to have always had specific conscious memories, too.

Bob Koford, 61 years old and has been with the US Postal Service for 36+ years and is very interested in the UFO subject since he was a young boy
He has read through a lot of files from the UFO program and after several years of research has found, essentially what he was looking for: in the form of ADC 45-5 for 6 February 1948 and 25 March 1948 and Air Force Regulation\SAC Directive 200-1 for 25 March 1948. These are just two examples, though they demonstrate the importance placed on the flying disc subject, they also reinforce the 25 March date.
Several historic incidences seem to corroborate the claims of a disc landing, in New Mexico, on 25 March 1948.
