Alexandra Holzer Emerging publicly onto the Paranormal Scene in early 2005 as a writer first and foremost, Author and Paranormalist Alexandra Holzer, has also appeared on numerous film documentaries such as the 25th Anniversary of Poltergeist and Shattered Hopes: The True Story of the Amityville Murder. No stranger to the field of the unknown as her father, Professor Dr. Hans Holzer, PhD, was the Modern Pioneer and Father of the Paranormal creating protocols and advancements for over six-decades catapulting and changing the field's historical course forever. Alexandra has also appeared on television for the Paranormal and has done hundreds of national/regional radio talk shows including being a host of one herself for WY102 FM in the greater Philadelphia area. She's published a few books, one of which, 'Growing up Haunted' has been optioned for TV and film rights with award winning producers in Hollywood. She writes articles based on her experiences and research in the supernatural field for such places as the popular holistic green zine, 'OM Times' and interviews for The Huffington Post. Holzer has gone on investigations but feels that her expertise lies not just with haunted homes, places or people but also in getting 'impressions' and being 'sensitive' to her surroundings. This yielded a Psychic Paranormal Investigator who is also on the quest for the unknown with a sense of humor. She grew up haunted and therefore has known nothing else. She is the only second generation paranormalist blazing this type of a well-rounded ghostly and occultist trail of the past, into the present and forward into the future for Science, Metaphysics, The Occult and Supernatural. Holzer lectures at events around the country and does investigations for groups teaching 'The Holzer Method'.
Edward Crabtree   Edward Crabtree hails from Britain. He is interested in all areas of the Unexplained – a bug he caught early on in life. He takes an agnostic and phenomenological approach to the phenomena, as well as to life in general! He has a Masters in Modern Literature from the University of Leicester and has taught English and Humanities subjects to adults and young people for over twelve years. Recently he has spent the best part of five years teaching in West Siberia and Tartarstan in Russia. This has had an enormous impact on him. When not reading and writing about weird stuff, he enjoys cooking, especially Central Asian cuisine, Nordic walking and indulging a guilty pleasure in retro 80’s/90’s rock-pop.
Scott Roberts From the Serpent, Nawcash, in the Garden of Eden; Atum, the Egyptian snake-man; and Quetzalcotl, the feathered serpent god of the Mayans to the double-helix snake symbol of Enki/Ea in ancient Sumerian literature, the serpent has been the omnipresent link between humans and the gods in every culture. Scott Alan Roberts investigates and examines the pervasive presence of the serpent in human history, religion, culture, and politics.

Doc Vega A traveler through space and time like most of us. I write political commentary, UFO pieces, have authored several books, held a an editorial column for the Plano Star Courier back in the mid 90's. Have appeared on TV and radio over the topic of UFO's and it's been quite an eye opener. I've been a small business owner, single parent of 4 children for more than 12 years (they're grown and gone) never asked for government aid even when my kids and I struggled to survive during one of the worst recessions ever. My message to you and others is that we are all better off self reliant and apart from big government influence. Our founding fathers were prophets for the future of American society they foresaw what was to come and gave us a road map called the US Constitution. Follow it, tell the government to honor it, vote for politicians who do, and you will live in a happier world apart from the progressives and collectivists who just can't leave our freedoms alone. I live to write the truth. Even in my fiction it is a guide post. God and country-patriotism it all sounds corny and too straight for those of us who have been misguided, but that's where I live. I was born in California, but I will never live there again as leftist control has destroyed one of the most beautiful states in the nation with political correctness and the Big Lie. In your pursuit of truth keep your eyes open, there is faith for a reason we know there is evil and there must also be good, I believe the evil will answer for their sins one day, or there is no justice. That's all I have to say. Thanks for indulging me. Doc

Dave Hodrien Dave Hodrien - BUFOG Chairman & Investigator I have been interested in UFOs for the past 20 years, and for a long time have believed that the phenomena is real and occurring world-wide. I look at the subject with both an open and analytical mind. Since becoming the lead investigator for the Birmingham UFO Group, I have personally investigated hundreds of UFO sightings and contact experiences, many from around the area of Birmingham, but others from elsewhere in the UK and abroad. My reports on these incidents can be found elsewhere on the site. I have a particular interest in the contact aspect of the subject, and work closely with a hypnotherapist during particular investigations. I am experienced in giving lectures on cases I have investigated, and have spoken at numerous conferences. I am also a regular contributor to UFO Matrix and Paranormal magazine. If you would like to book me for a talk, or wish to discuss an experience you have had, please contact me via E-Mail: <a href="mailto:davehodrien@bufog.com">davehodrien@bufog.com</a>

By the time this article is published I will be in Washington DC, where I am one of the participants in the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure. This ambitious event is being organized by lobbyist/activist Steve Bassett, under the slogan “If the Congress won’t do its job, the people will”. There have not been formal Congressional hearings on the UFO phenomenon since 1968 and in the absence of any apparent willingness to hold any new such event, Steve Bassett has decided to do what he regards as the next best thing.. Nick's column continues here!

Nick's next column will be posted Wednesday, June 1, 2013.
