Dr. Claude Swanson, UFO Physics

Dr. Claude Swanson is a theoretical physicist who earned his degrees at MIT and Princeton. For many years he worked at high tech labs for large corporations and on US Defense projects. However, Dr. Swanson now focuses his efforts on the science of unconventional physics, such as those that relate to the UFO phenomena. He believes that there is a subtle energy some cultures have known about for many years, such as “chi” in China or “torsion” in Russia, which may be the key to understanding UFO [propulsion, telepathy, healing and out of body experiences. He believes that when this energy is present, the laws of physics that the western world is familiar with are modified. He has written two books on the subject, and lectures throughout the country, including presenting at the Society for Scientific Exploration, of which he is a full member.

Gabe Valdez, Cattle Mutilations and Underground Bases

Gabe Valdez was a New Mexico state patrol officer assigned to areas plagued with cattle mutilations and UFO sightings. He investigated these mutilations and has come to some unique conclusions that he believes he has seen sufficient proof to support. Valdez also worked with Paul Bennewitz and retired Air Force Intelligence officer, Richard Doty, the two people who started the rumors that there was a joint Human-Alien secret base under the Archuleta Mesa just outside of Dulce, NM. We will get his take on this theory as well.

Frank Kimbler, NEW Roswell Discovery

Frank Kimbler works at the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, NM, where he teaches Earth Science at the High School level and Geology at the College Level. The Roswell UFO crash piqued his interest enough to look into it. He examined satellite images of the area where the strange debris was found in 1947 and found an area that looked promising. Upon examination of the area he found materials that he has since tested and all indications are that this material was not made on earth.
