Travis Walton USA: Author of The Walton Story” and paramount picture “Fire in the sky” On November 5th, 1975 a group of loggers in the mountains of northeastern Arizona observed a strange, unusually bright light in the sky. One of those men, Travis Walton, recklessly left the safety of their truck to take a closer look at the large UFO . Suddenly, as he walked toward the it, Walton was blasted back by a bolt of mysterious energy. Travis Walton relates in his own words the best documented account of alien-UFO abduction yet recorded.


Jerry E. Smith USA : Author of “HAARP The Ultimate Weapon of the Conspiracy” I began writing my book “HAARP in 1998 with the intent to sort out truth from fiction in the many claims about what HAARP could or couldn't do. I quickly learned that HAARP was but the tip of a very nasty iceberg. I learned more about the down side of electromagnetic (radio frequency) technologies than I ever wanted to know. And that things are far worse in the Military-Industrial-Educational Complex than even I, as a “peacenik” from the ‘60s, imagined. My book became an examination of two major questions: what is the fundamental flaw in how we fund and conduct science, and how can a democracy defend itself from its own military and covert intelligence agencies?


Dr Roger Leir USA: Author of Aliens And The Scalpel - Casebook Alien Implants. DR Leir has acted as Chief of Podiatry in many Southern California Hospitals. DR Leir headed two surgical teams that have removed several suspected alien implants from over 12 separate individuals. The resultant findings attracted Worldwide attention. Dr Leirs work takes a serious look at the scientific and medical aspects of the alien abduction phenomena. It is a story of not only scientific research but explains how the author, who started as the consummate scientific skeptic, became thoroughly convinced that humans all over this planet are being tampered with by another intelligence.

Jennifer Lawson AUST: Jennifer Lawson Author and long - range weather forecaster. Since her first prognostication (Tropical Cyclone Pierre in 1995) publishing successful predictions of dates and locations have published every year in the Aust media. My interest in weather forecasting began in early 1980 Brisbane, Australia, after reading C.C. Zane’s book on the subject. On May 18 1980, Washington State's volcano, Mount St. Helens, erupted in a series of violent explosions. Applying the same techniques used for weather prediction, I began to figure out what triggered the May 18 eruptions, the subsequent minor eruptions following May and the 1857 previous eruption cycle. Toward the end of July, convinced the volcano would erupt again on August 7, made my first public prediction at a local astrology (the only group interested) meeting in Brisbane. When Mount St. Helens erupted on the exact day as I had predicted, I knew that it was possible to forecast events.
