Speaker

Stephen Bassett - Executive Producer/Panel Moderator/Speaker
is arguably the leading advocate in the nation for ending the 61-year government imposed truth embargo regarding an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race and the planet earth.   He is a political activist, lobbyist, commentator, columnist and conference producer.  He is the founder of the Paradigm Research Group, the Executive Director of the Extraterrestrial Phenomena Political Action Committee (X-PPAC), the creator of the Paradigm Clock and the executive producer of the X-Conference.  His work has been covered internationally including the Washington Post, Washington Times, New York Times, Legal Times, Christian Science Monitor, National Journal, Pravda, London Sunday Express and Roll Call.

Presently he is the only registered lobbyist in the United States representing extraterrestrial related phenomena research/activist organizations, and X-PPAC is the first political action committee to target the political implications of extraterrestrial related phenomena.  Between April 19 and November 5 of 2002 he conducted an independent candidacy in the 2002 congressional campaign in the 8th District of Maryland.  It was the first instance in which a candidate on the November ballot in a federal election openly addressed the matter of an extraterrestrial presence and the government imposed truth embargo. 

Since 1996 Bassett has assisted many organizations and initiatives making the case for 1) an end to the government truth embargo, and 2) open congressional hearings to take the testimony of former military and agency employees witness to extraterrestrial-related events and evidence.   He has appeared on hundreds of radio and television talk shows and in numerous documentaries delivering the message to millions of people of the likelihood and implications of "Disclosure" - the formal acknowledgement of the ET presence by the governments of the world.

George Noory - Special Presentation / Keynote (short)
became official prime host for Coast to Coast AM, the number one late night talk show in America, on January 1, 2003.   He took over the reins from retiring Art Bell to become the host of America's most fascinating overnight radio program.  Looking back on George's life and his passion for all things unexplained, it seems almost fated that he would fulfill this unique role.

While still a teenager, George joined NICAP, the UFO organization that was a precursor to today's MUFON.   He immersed himself in the field, "so much so that I decided I wanted to go into broadcasting in order to do unusual stories in the paranormal and stories that the mainstream media didn't want to touch," he told After Dark. Indeed, George's very first broadcast interview, while a young radio reporter for Detroit's WCAR-AM, was with Roswell expert/physicist Stanton Friedman, with whom he has maintained a lifelong friendship.

Now with a 30-year history in the broadcasting field under his belt in such positions as executive television news producer and news director, George brings a wide swath of experience to the table. In fact, at age 28 he was the youngest major news market news director in the country when he was at KMSP-TV in Minneapolis.  But it was just a couple of years ago that he came to the attention of Premiere Radio Networks, who heard him on his late-night radio program on KTRS in St. Louis. Known as "the Nighthawk," George's penchant for covering paranormal topics with enthusiasm and skill impressed Premiere.  He was then brought on board to host the Sunday night Coast to Coast show. And as Art's back problems became more severe, George was honored to fill in for him on a regular basis.

"Coast to Coast AM may just be the most unusual show I have ever witnessed or been a part of. You really almost have to be born into that arena, I think, in order to handle it. I was very lucky in that's the way I was guiding my own career. It was this thirst to really get to the bottom of some of these stories that kept pushing me," George said.

Other highlights of George's life include serving nine years in the U.S. Naval Reserve and winning three Emmy Awards as a news executive.  But certainly manning the helms of Coast to Coast AM is a pinnacle for George, allowing him to pursue the unexplained on a grand scale. It's become his destiny to guide the huge audience from more than 500 radio stations through the night in this dynamic format created by Art Bell. Across America, and around the world on the Internet, George Noory's voice rings out.

Recently George introduced Art Bell at his Lifetime Achievement Award from "Radio & Records," the radio industry trade journal.

Edgar Mitchell, PhD - Special Presentation (Lecture)
On January 31, 1971, Navy Captain Dr. Edgar Mitchell embarked on a journey into outer space that resulted in becoming the sixth man to walk on the moon.  The Apollo 14 mission was NASA's third manned lunar landing.  This historic journey ended safely nine days later on February 9, 1971.  It was an audacious time in the history of mankind.  For Mitchell, however, the most extraordinary journey was yet to come.

After retiring from the Navy in 1972, Dr. Mitchell founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences to sponsor research into the nature of consciousness as it relates to cosmology and causality.  In 1984, he was a co-founder of the Association of Space Explorers, an international organization of those who have experienced space travel.   He lectures regularly on cosmology, human potential, and the implications of recent discoveries in science as they affect our individual lives.

Dr. Roger Leir - Special Presentation (Lecture)
is the author of the The Aliens and the Scalpel, and one of the worlds most important leaders in physical evidence research involving the field of Ufology.

He, and his surgical team, have performed 11 surgeries on alleged alien abductees, resulting in the removal of twelve separate and distinct objects suspected of being [[[alien implants]].  These objects have been scientifically investigated by some of the most prestigious laboratories in the world including Los Alamos National Labs, New Mexico Tech, and the University of California at San Diego. Their findings have been baffling and some comparisons have been made to Meteorite Samples. In addition, some of the tests show isotopic ratios not of this world.  He anticipates performing more surgeries in the future and is investigating the physiological and biological aspects of the abduction phenomenon. 

Dr. Leir has also been involved in investigations of other areas of Ufology involving physical evidence. He has traveled to Brazil and performed exhaustive research into the Varginha, Brazil case.  In 2003, Dr. Leir, the National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS) and other world scientists completed a DNA study pertaining to evidence collected in a famous California Alien Abduction Case.  He recently formed a non-profit organization for this purpose called “A&S Research Inc.”

He has been interested in the subject of Ufology since his early childhood and has had several sightings of unknown flying objects.  He has also had two Near-Death Experiences.  Because of this, his cousin Kenneth Ring Ph.D., eminent author of numerous books, including The Omega Project, relinquished all of his personal research pertinent to the subject of Ufology to Dr. Leir.   Over the past 15 years, Dr. Leir has pursued a quest for knowledge within this field with great intensity.  As a result he served as a medical consultant to MUFON as well as holding the office of State Section Director for Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties.

Roger Leir is a podiatric surgeon, who has been in private practice in Ventura County, California, for the past 40 years.  He is a Graduate of the California College of Podiatric Medicine in San Francisco, California and attended San Fernando Valley College and the University of Southern California (USC). He holds degrees in Podiatric Medicine, a Bachelor of Science and an Associate in Arts.

He was a Director of Research, involving a Tendon Regeneration Project, in 1964. During 1964-1965 he was a preceptor in Foot Surgery at Bella Vista Hospital in Los Angeles, California.   From 1971 to 1972, he was a Podiatric resident at Simi Valley Doctors Hospital and continued on as Director of Podiatric Residency Training. During this period Dr. Leir was awarded a Professorship in post-graduate education from the California College of Podiatric Medicine.   He served as the Chief of Podiatric Clinic at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital, Los Angeles, California.  He has served as Chief of Podiatry in many Southern California Hospitals, including; Simi Valley Doctors Hospital, Simi Adventists Hospital, Woodland Park Community Hospital, Conoga Park Hospital, Midvalley Community Hospital and Good Samaritan Hospital.

Dr. Leir is Board Certified in the following boards:  The National College of Foot Surgeons The American Board of Podiatric Sports Medicine The American Board of Foot Surgery The American Circulatory Society and the Society for Non-Invasive Vascular Technology.  He is licensed to practice in the states of California and Oregon and holds a certificate from the National Board of Podiatric Medicine.

Col. John Alexander, PhD and Stephen Bassett - Special Presentation (Debate/Dialogue/Q&A)
has most certainly had one of the most unusual and varied careers of any officer who has served with the American military.   Which is to say the mainstream military record only partially summarized below coincided with long term interest in a range of paranormal issues within the framework of national security.  Since he has spent much of his career involved with highly classified programs, much of his resume cannot be revealed.

Dr. John Alexander has been a leading advocate for the development of non-lethal weapons since he created renewed interest in the field starting in 1989. In 2003 he served as a mentor to Afghan Ministry of Defense senior officials through the Office of Military Cooperation – Afghanistan, (Coalition Forces) Kabul. He has traveled to ALL of the continents on Earth. In 2005 he trekked the remote areas of Tibet including the Mount Everest Base Camp and more recently returned from Timbuktu in the Sahel in West Africa.

He entered the US Army as a private in 1956 and rose through the ranks to sergeant first class, attended OCS, and was a colonel of Infantry in 1988 when he retired. During his varied career, he held many key positions in special operations, intelligence, and research and development.  From 1966 through early 1969 he commanded Special Forces “A” Teams in Vietnam and Thailand.  His last military assignment was as Director, Advanced System Concepts Office, US Army Laboratory Command.  After retiring from the Army, Dr. Alexander joined Los Alamos National Laboratory where he was instrumental in developing the concept of Non-Lethal Defense.  As a program manager, he conducted non-lethal warfare briefings at the highest levels of government including the White House Staff, National Security Council, Members of Congress, Director of Central Intelligence, and senior Defense officials. He also met with heads of industry, presented at academic institutions, including Columbia, Harvard and MIT. In 2004 he  was invited to address the German Bundestag. In 2005 he went to The Hague and addressed international delegates to the Chemical Warfare Convention.

Dr. Alexander organized and chaired six major conferences on non-lethal warfare and served as a US delegate to four NATO studies on the topic.  As a member of the first Council on Foreign Relations non-lethal warfare study, he was instrumental in influencing the report that is credited with causing the Department of Defense to create a formal Non-Lethal Weapons Policy in July 1996.  He was a distinguished guest lecturer at the US Air Force Air University and has advised the CIA, US Special Operations Command, and the National Intelligence Council.

Dr. Alexander wrote the seminal material on non-lethal warfare.  He published articles in Harvard International Review, Jane’s International Defense Review, The Boston Globe, The Futurist, The Washington Post, and several other journals. Articles about him and his work can be found in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Newsweek, The Sunday Times (London), Panorama (Italy), Konrad (Germany), LA Times, Wired Magazine, GQ, Scientific American, Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, and many others.  He has appeared frequently on television including Dateline, Fox News, Larry King, CNN, MSNBC, Newsweek, and other US programs plus international television in Australia, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Brazil, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the UK, and Japan.

Academically, he holds a M.A., Pepperdine University, Ph.D., Walden University, and later attended the Anderson School of Management at UCLA, the Sloan School of Management at MIT, and the Kennedy School of Government general officer program “National and International Security for Senior Executives” at Harvard University.  In addition to many military awards for valor and service, Aviation Week & Space Technology selected him as a 1993 Aerospace Laureate and in 1997 inducted him into the Hall of Fame at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington.  He received a Department of Energy Award of Excellence for the Nuclear Weapons Program in 1994, and is listed in Who’s Who in America, Who’s Who in Science and Engineering, American Men and Women of Science, and in 2001 was named to the OCS Hall of Fame at Ft. Benning, Georgia. During 2001 and 2002 he was a member of the National Research Council Committee for Assessment of Non-Lethal Weapons Science and Technology.

Currently he is a private consultant, a Senior Fellow at the Joint Special Operations University, a Fellow with Proteus at the Army War College, and with the Army Science Board.  His books include, The Warrior’s Edge, Wm. Morrow, (1990) Future War, with foreword by Tom Clancy, St. Martin’s Press (1999), and the sequel, Winning the War, published August 2003.

Graham Hancock (UK) - Special Presentation (Lecture)
is the author of the major international bestsellers The Sign and The Seal, Fingerprints of the Gods and Heaven's Mirror. His books have sold more than five million copies worldwide and have been translated into 27 languages. His public lectures and TV appearances, including the three-hour series Quest For The Lost Civilisation, have put his ideas before audiences of tens of millions. He has become recognised as an unconventional thinker who raises legitimate questions about humanity's history and prehistory and offers an increasingly popular challenge to the entrenched views of orthodox scholars.

Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Hancock's early years were spent in India, where his father worked as a surgeon. Later he went to school and university in the northern English city of Durham and graduated from Durham University in 1973 with First Class Honours in Sociology. He went on to pursue a career in quality journalism, writing for many of Britain's leading newspapers including The Times, The Sunday Times, The Independent, and The Guardian. He was co-editor of New Internationalist magazine from 1976-1979 and East Africa correspondent of The Economist from 1981-1983.

In the early 1980's Hancock's writing began to move consistently in the direction of books. His first book (Journey Through Pakistan, with photographers Mohamed Amin and Duncan Willetts) was published in 1981. It was followed by Under Ethiopian Skies (1983), Ethiopia: The Challenge of Hunger (1984), and AIDS: The Deadly Epidemic (1986). In 1987 Hancock began work on his widely-acclaimed critique of foreign aid, Lords of Poverty, which was published in 1989. African Ark (with photographers Angela Fisher and Carol Beckwith) was published in 1990.

Hancock's breakthrough to bestseller status came in 1992 with the publication of The Sign and The Seal, his epic investigation into the mystique and whereabouts today of the lost Ark of the Covenant. 'Hancock has invented a new genre,' commented The Guardian, 'an intellectual whodunit by a do-it-yourself sleuth.' Fingerprints of the Gods, published in 1995 confirmed Hancock's growing reputation. Described as 'one of the intellectual landmarks of the decade' by the Literary Review, this book has now sold more than three million copies and continues to be in demand all around the world. Subsequent works such as Keeper Of Genesis (The Message of the Sphinx in the US) with co-author Robert Bauval, and Heaven's Mirror, with photographer Santha Faiia, have also been Number 1 bestsellers, the latter accompanied by Hancock's three-part television series Quest For the Lost Civilisation.

Most recently, in 2002 Hancock published Underworld: Flooded Kingdoms of the Ice Age to great critical acclaim, and hosted the accompanying major TV series. This was the culmination of years of research and on-hand dives at ancient underwater ruins. Arguing that many of the clues to the origin of civilization lay underwater, on coastal regions once above water but flooded at the end of the last Ice age, Underworld offered tangible archaeological evidence that myths and legends of ancient floods were not to be dismissed out of hand.

Graham's Talisman - The Sacred Cities and The Secret Faith, co-authored by Robert Bauval, was released in May 2004. This work, a decade in preparation, returned to the themes last dealt with in Keeper Of Genesis, seeking further evidence for the continuation of a secret astronomical cult into modern times. It is a roller-coaster intellectual journey through the back streets and rat runs of history to uncover the traces in architecture and monuments of a secret religion that has shaped the world.    This was followed by the publication of Supernatural in 2005.

Colin Andrews (UK)
is a well-known researcher and author and is widely acknowledged as the world expert on the crop circle phenomenon.  He is the founder of Circles Phenomenon Research International, the first organization established specifically to investigate the crop circle phenomenon. His scientific investigations are responsible for much of the current information available on the subject.

Colin is an electrical engineer by profession and a former senior officer in British regional Government. For three years Colin advised the British Government on the crop circle phenomenon, supplying technical and scientific reports to the Under-Secretary of State for the environment (Rt. Hon. Nicholas Ridely, M.P.) in the Margaret Thatcher cabinet.

As a result of his persistence, the subject was raised in the House of Commons.

Colin supervised the largest surveillance project of its kind during 1990, called 'Operation Blackbird'. It was an effort to film a crop circle forming, backed and supported by the British Army, B.B.C. and Nippon television and was watched closely by the international media.

Colin Andrews became involved in the circle mystery during 1983 when he saw an arrangement of five circles in a wheat field near Winchester, England. Intrigued by the engineering aspects of creating the circles he began investigations with Pat Delgado, a retired NASA engineer and Busty Taylor a light aircraft pilot. In 1989, Pat and Colin co-authored 'Circular Evidence', the first book written on the subject, which became an international best seller and was chosen by Queen Elizabeth for her prestigious 'Summer Reading Listing'. It was the first time a book of this kind had ever been chosen by the monarchy for this listing. This was followed by their equally successful book: 'Crop Circles: The Latest Evidence', in 1990.

Andrews has appeared on numerous well known television and radio programs around the world including '60 Minutes', '20-20', 'Good Morning America', 'Sightings', 'Unsolved Mysteries', 'Coast To Coast with Art Bell', 'Histories Mysteries', 'The Shirley Maclaine Show', 'Dan Aykroyd's Out There', 'The Sally Jessy Raphael Show', BBC's Daytime Live', 'The Ray Martin Show' and many more. He has lectured extensively to a wide range of audiences including the special interest 'S.E.A.T.' group at the United Nations, and 'The Hakui Museum' in Japan.

He was awarded the New Heaven New Earth 'Toby Award' for his 'honesty and perseverance in the face of adversity' during his research of the so-called "Oliver's Castle' video, claimed by many to show UFO's making crop circles.

He has acted as consultant to several European research institutions and also to well-known anthropologist and former US congressman, Laurence Rockefeller in New York. His widely seen video 'Undeniable Evidence' was instrumental in the appearance of the crop circles on the movie screen. The British movie 'A Place To Stay' was written after Film Director Marcus Thompson was shown the video by a friend. Andrews acted as Chief Consultant and appeared as himself in the movie.

He also supplied information and photographs for the new 'Disney' movie called 'Signs', staring Mel Gibson.

His work continues, with growing urgency for openness and honesty in government and private research. He is currently active in promoting environmental awareness and education as well as continuing crop circle research to a conclusion. He is convinced that the real phenomenon is interacting with both crop circle researchers and people who make some of them. He has for many years held the view that our future is at the center of what is occurring. Since the late 80's he has repeatedly stated that he believes the interactions are showing the mapping out of a possible period of human chaos. As in the human ability to remotely view glimpses of the future, which can be altered by changing current trends, the period of chaos is based upon current trends, which can also be changed.

He believes that a large number of Crop Circles are fakes but that the paranormal is involved with the remainder. He has witnessed many bizarre events since beginning his long investigation into this mystery but is determined to continue his research in a scientific manner and an open mind.

Activist Panel 

Art Campbell
has been interested in UFO research since the 1950’s.  He was an early NICAP investigator and Chairman of NICAP chapter in Kansas City, MO. After receiving a map from a rancher in 1994, he visited a UFO crash site in the Plains of San Augustin. He has documented photographs and lab analysis of the materials found at the site. His latest book is  UFO Crash at San Augustin: Did a UFO crash on the Plains of San Augustin in 1947?.   This project concerns a probable crash in July 1947, 165 west of Roswell, NM. Following the map that the rancher provided, Mr. Campbell found what he believes to be the site.  While doing digs at the site on the Plains of San Augustin, Campbell found many items.  He has also gone into great depth concerning the lives of the people connected to this event. 

In the 1950’s, he worked with Donald E. Keyhoe (the founder of NICAP). Mr. Campbell made contact with former President Truman in the spring of 1958 at the Truman Library in Independence, MO. Keyhoe’s subsequent letter to President Truman begins Mr. Campbell’s book. Mr. Campbell also covered an investigation into George Adamski’s claim to being whisked away from the Kansas City train yards. Campbell’s investigation proved the train had not stopped as Adamski had claimed.

with Manual "Bill" Kirklin
spent 26 years in government service including the USDA, North American Aviation, Lockheed Missiles and Space and work on Apollo training simulators.  He was an Air Force Medic and high altitude chamber specialist stationed at Holloman AFB in 1955. Kirklin details several eye witness reports of President Eisenhower at Holloman on or about February 11th, 1955 in Ike's third year of his first term.  After Ike's arrival at Holloman, two UFOs flew over the flight line; one landed near Iks's plane, Columbine III, and Ike went aboard. What was intriguing about the incident was that the President snuck away from thirty or so reporters while on a bird hunt near Thomasville GA during high international tension over Formosa (Taiwan). Campbell's investigation includes information through guards assigned to the president, the complete flight records and two additional independent witnesses on video tape.

Richard Dolan
studied history, English, and philosophy as an undergraduate at Alfred University.  His deep passion for the discipline of history resulted in a scholarship to study at Oxford University and a near miss for a Rhodes Scholarship.  He chose instead to do graduate work at the University of Rochester, where he focused on German and Soviet studies before moving on to American Cold War diplomacy.   Not wanting to teach, he left academia to write.   In 1994 he became interested in the UFO problem, approaching it from the angle of history and politics.  He was intrigued by the cultural schizophrenia - the fact that mainstream and academic culture (official culture) continued to treat UFOs as amusement, but that so many intelligent people privately had taken it seriously.

(www.icar1.com) Originally affiliated with MUFON as an Investigator, Mr. Montaldo became disenchanted with the lack of information being shared with the general public. His first step in furthering public awareness was establishing a personal website (www.alienenigma) in 1998. Later, the I.C.A.R. site (www.icar1.com) was added to the Internet.

Born in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1963, he attended area private schools before joining the U.S. Navy. While in the Navy, Joe earned three degrees in Advanced Electronics and Avionics. In April of 2004, Mr. Montaldo began hosting the Wake Up USA a UFO Study talk show. He is now host of the new radio program, "UFO Undercover". UFO Undercover is an Internet talk show that allows the host and his guest to interact and answer questions with the virtual audience thru the Internet and by telephone via a toll free number.

During his time as host for these radio programs, Joe has interviewed most of ufology’s personalities. In the process he has gained many friends in the community as well as the opportunity to work to ward his goal of ufologist and the public sharing information openly. Having been an investigator for almost 30 years, Joe Montaldo is extremely knowledgeable on UFOs, Alien Abductions, Star Children, Indigo Children, Milabs, Government Involvement, and all matters involved in Ufology.

In an effort to go directly to the public, a chat room was opened on Pal Talk under Social Issues-ICAR UFO Alien Phenomena-Voice Room. This chat room provides a place for people to exchange ideas, share experiences and find personal help dealing with Alien Contact.

I.C.A.R., starting as a grassroots organization, is now established with members in 11 countries. While UFO sightings are always investigated, I.C.A.R.’s main focus is on Alien Abductions and the Alien Agenda. I.C.A.R. members and Joe have investigated over 5000 cases of Alien contact and abductions. In 2005, Montaldo and members of I.C.A.R. provided press coverage in Washington D.C. at the X-Conference as well as the last 2 crash retrieval conference and the 2006 Laughlin conference also in 2006 Mr. Montaldo was placed on the board of the Exopolitics institute where he advises in alien abduction and media areas. www.exopoliticsinstitute.org/advisory-board-PP&M.htm

Mr. Montaldo has been featured in newspaper articles, radio talk shows and speaks at area meetings as well as hosting his Wednesday night talk show.

“My future goal is to gain information for I.C.A.R. and share it with the Public. The public needs to understand what is going on with alien contact, and exactly what the alien agenda is.”

Michael Salla, PhD (Australia/US)
has the courage and integrity to follow the information wherever it leads.  He lost his status at American University and his projects were denied renewal as a direct result of his participation in X-Conference 2004.  This is just one more disgrace in a long history of head-in-the-sand denial by the entire American academic community regarding extraterrestrial-related phenomena.  American University is perfectly situated to be a leader in the development in exopolitics.  The opportunity was and is there to break new ground, to make a difference.  American University took a pass.

Michael is a pioneer in the development of exopolitics, the scholarly study of the main actors, institutions and processes associated with an extraterrestrial presence that is not acknowledged to the general public, elected officials or the mass media. His interest in exopolitics evolved out of his investigation of the sources of international conflict and its relationship with the undisclosed extraterrestrial presence. He cites evidence extraterrestrial races are currently engaging humanity and the planet in a variety of ways.  His new book, Exposing U.S. Government Policies on Extraterrestrial Life: The Challenge of Exopolitics, reveals U.S. policies on extraterrestrial life that form major challenges in educating the general public about exopolitical issues.

His book Exopolitics: Political Implications of the Extraterrestrial Presence (Dandelion Books, 2004) presents a comprehensive study of the political implications of the extraterrestrial presence. His forthcoming book, The Challenge of Exopolitics analyses challenges in educating the general public about exopolitical issues.

Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd  (U.S./Canada)
a futurist, peace advocate and environmental activist, is the father of Exopolitics.  When "exopolitics" is formally (academically) recognized as the term describing the political and social intersection of the human race with extraterrestrial-related phenomena and ultimately extraterrestrial beings, the primary origin of this enormously important nomenclature will be attributed to Alfred Lambremont Webre.  Dr. Michael Salla subsequently worked to expand and develop content within the intellectual framework, and Stephen Bassett worked to bring this framework and terminology to a larger audience.

Alfred is the author of Exopolitics: Politics, Government and Law in the Universe (Universe Books), on the science of relations between human society and other intelligent civilizations in the Universe.  Exopolitics includes a case study of human contact with an advanced civilization on Mars.  Alfred is international director of the Institute for Cooperation in Space (ICIS) and chairman of the Mars Anomaly Research Society (MARS), which is researching, disclosing and educating the public about the discovery of life on Mars.  He has proposed a truth- amnesty process to facilitate the release of the advanced, ET-derived new energy technologies. Alfred is a graduate of Yale University and Yale Law School and has taught economics at Yale University and constitutional law at the University of Texas.  Alfred was general counsel to the NYC Environmental Protection Administration, a futurist at Stanford Research Institute (where he directed the proposed 1977 Carter White House extraterrestrial communication study), and a judge on the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal.  He is the founder of www.exopolitics.com news website, and host of www.exopoliticsradio.com, listened to in over 80 countries.  His Seattle Exopolitics Examiner column is at www.examiner.com.
