Maurizio
Baiata (Italy) 54 years old, investigative reporter, UFO researcher and video
producer, Rome resident. Baiata started his editorial activity 36 years ago as
journalist and editor for Rock and Roll Italian publications, reaching the peak
of his career as Editor in chief of the Italian edition of the prestigious U.S.
magazine "Rolling Stone"' (1978-80). In 1981 he moved to New York, working
as radio correspondent for the Italian state network RAI, subsequently becoming
editor-cultural page of the daily newspaper “Il Progresso Italo Americano”.
Seven years later, back in Italy, Baiata concentrated his professional interest
on UFO research, focusing on the Roswell incident. He produced several documentaries,
with large diffusion through all media (Video, TV, magazines). The release of
the Santilli Footage in Italy is due to him. Between the years 1995-2000 Baiata
has directed and managed four famous UFO magazines: “Notiziario UFO",
"UFO Network", “Dossier Alieni” and "Stargate".
He has also directed two multimedial encyclopedias: “UFO Dossier X”
(Fabbri Editori) and "Stargate - Enigmi dal Cosmo" (Armando Curcio Editore).
In 1997 he released through his own publishing company the book “The Day
After Roswell” by Col. Philip Corso (“Il Giorno Dopo Roswell”,
ed. Futuro) and invited the Author in Italy twice, establishing a deep and sincere
friendship. From the original manuscript of Corso’s diary “Dawn of a
New Age”, given to him by the Colonel, in the year 2003 Baiata released the
book in Italian (Pendragon Edizioni), the first and only edition of it, worldwide.
As lecturer, Baiata has participated in numerous UFO conferences all over the
world, and countless TV and radio programs. Currently, Baiata is the Managing
Editor of the monthly magazine “Area 51” (Hera Edizioni), circulating
in Italy with very relevant results and, again, giving to the Italian UFO field
a unique - exopolitical - editorial perspective. His

Stephen
Bassett is a leading advocate for ending the
58-year government imposed truth embargo regarding an extraterrestrial presence
engaging the human race and the planet earth. He is a political activist, founder
of the Paradigm Research Group, Executive Director of the Extraterrestrial Phenomena
Political Action Committee (X-PPAC), author of the Paradigm Clock website, and
a political columnist and commentator. 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. In 2002 he conducted
an independent Congressional campaign for the 8th District of Maryland. It was
first instance in which a congressional candidate on the November ballot in a
federal election addressed the matter of an extraterrestrial presence and the
5-decade government imposed truth embargo. On January 13 of 2003 he launched a
new initiative, Citizen Hearing, which intends to conduct a week-long hearing
in Washington, DC before former Members of the US House and Senate. The motto
is, "If Congress will not do its job, the people will." This ground
breaking project awaits funding. In April of 2004 he produced the 1st Annual Exopolitics
Expo - the X-Conference - held at the Hilton Washington, DC North/Gaithersburg.
It was produced by Paradigm Research Group. The 2nd Annual Exopolitics Expo (X-Conference
2005) was completed on April 22-24, 2005. The 3rd X-Conference is tentatively
planned for early June of 2006. Since 1996 Bassett has assisted many other organizations
and initiatives which have been making the case for 1) an end to the government
embargo on the truth surrounding an extraterrestrial presence, and 2) open congressional
hearings to take the testimony of former military and agency employees witness
to extraterrestrial-related events and evidence. His work has been referenced
in, among others, the Washington Post, Washington Times, New York Times, Legal
Times, Christian Science Monitor, National Journal, Pravda, London Sunday Express
and O’Dweyer’s Washington Report. He has appeared on hundreds of radio
and television talk shows, in numerous documentaries and brought the message to
millions of people of the likelihood and implications of "Disclosure"
- the formal acknowledge by the United States government of an extraterrestrial
presence about the earth - not maybe, not someday, but NOW. Web Pages: Paradigm

Grant
Cameron (Canada)became
involved in extraterrestrial-related phenomena research in May 1975 with a personal
sighting near Carman, Manitoba about 25 miles north of the Canada-US border. Over
the next 18 months hundreds of sightings were reported, and Grant spent months
photographing a series of strange objects and interviewing hundreds of witnesses
who were involved. Thus began a 28 years commitment to the subject. After composing
a manuscript about the 1975-76 sightings, he moved on to research the work of
the legendary Wilbert B. Smith. Smith headed up the Canadian government’s
flying saucer investigation known as Project Magnet, which ran from 1950 to 1954.
Over two decades Cameron was able to collect most of Smith’s files and written
materials. He interviewed most of the associates around Smith who worked on the
flying saucer investigation. He produced a CD-Rom data disk with most of the documents
from the Smith files along with 12 hours of audio related to Smith's work. During
the Smith research Grant learned of the former Penn State University president
Dr. Eric Walker, who was identified by Dr. Robert Sarbacher as a key person inside
the Cover-up. Cameron teamed up with T. Scott Crain to research and write UFOs,
MJ-12, and the Government published by MUFON. Cameron then turned his research
interests to the relationship of U.S. Presidents to the extraterrestrial issue.
He made 13 trips to the U.S. National Archives and most of the Presidential archives
looking for relevant documents. A major contribution of his work was a FOIA submission
to the White House Office of Science and Technology which yielded nearly 1,000
pages of disclosure documents from the Clinton administration. He has lectured
in Canada and the U. S. on the 1975-76 Manitoba sightings, Wilbert Smith and the
president/UFO connection. He lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. His principlal

Command
Sgt Major Robert Dean (ret) has a history that includes forty years
of research in the UFO field. He spent twenty-seven years of active duty in the
US Army where he retired as Command Sergeant Major after serving as a highly decorated
infantry combat veteran. He also served in Intelligence Field Operations and was
stationed at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE), the military arm
of NATO. His Cosmic Top Secret clearance opened the way for his study of the highly
controversial document of which he now speaks. Mr. Dean also spent fourteen years
as an emergency services manager with the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) for the Arizona Pima County Sheriff's Department. He is the former Arizona
Assistant Director and Pima County Director for the Mutual UFO Network and is
a former member for the UFO studies (CUFOS) and the Ancient Astronauts Society.
He also served twelve years as a member of the board of Directors for the Aerial
Phenomenon Research Organization (APRO). Mr. Dean majored in ancient history,
psychology, and philosophy at Indiana University, completed extensive studies
in archeology and theology and holds the equivalent of a masters level degree
in Emergency Management. Beyond extensive United States engagements, he has spoken
all over the world to share his message, appearing at sponsored events in England,
Switzerland, Italy, Japan, Germany, Brazil, Mexico, Australia, Hungary and Puerto
Rico. He also has countless television, radio, video and news documentary appearances
to his credit and has been honored with THREE lifetime achievement awards for
his contribution to the field of Ufology. His principal website is: http://beyondzebra.com/bobdean.shtml

Dr.
James Deardorff began his studies at Reed College in Portland, Oregon
in 1946-47 and then switched to Stanford University, where he majored in physics
earning his bachelor of science in 1950. He attended UCLA receiving a second bachelor
of science in meteorology in 1951. After a 4-year stint in the Navy Dr. Deardorff
went on to achieve an MS (1956) and PhD (1959) in Meteorology. After post-graduate
work he took a position at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)
in Boulder, CO, in 1962. There he migrated into the study of laboratory and numerical
modeling of turbulent thermal convection, and boundary-layer turbulence and diffusion.
After a few years at NCAR he became a senior scientist, enjoying a successful,
16-year research career. A list of the published research papers during this career
is provided in an expanded curriculum
vitae. After NCAR Dr Deardorff took a position at Oregon State University
in 1978 as a research professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences. It
was in Oregon that Dr. Deardorff became interested in extraterrestrial-related
phenomenon and by the late 1970s had decided the evidence pointed conclusively
towards the extraterrestrial hypothesis. By 1985 his research interests had irrevocably
turned to the ETH and its implications for society, and around this time he had
the first of five sightings. So in 1986 he took early retirement from OSU. Writing
papers and research grant proposals and attending to associated administrative
duties no longer seemed as important as exploring extraterrestrial-related phenomenon
and trying to raise public awareness. He has written four peer-reviewed papers
dealing with this new area of interest: "Possible extraterrestrial strategy
for Earth," Quart. J. Royal Astron. Soc., 27, pp. 94-101 (1986); "Examination
of the embargo hypothesis as an explanation for the Great Silence". J.
British Interplanetary Soc., 40, pp. 373-379 (1987); "Extraterrestrial
communications". J. Communication, 37, pp. 181-184 (1987). And in
2005 came his fourth peer reviewed paper co-authored with Dr Hal Puthoff, Dr Bernard
Haisch and Dr Bruce Maccabee: "Inflation-Theory
Implications for Extraterrestrial Visitation". J. British Interplanetary
Soc., 58, pp. 43-50, (2005). Dr. Deardorff expanded his research to include
biblical and reincarnation studies. These led to the publishing of Celestial
Teachings: The Emergence of the True Testament of Jmmanuel (Jesus) (1990);
The Problems of New Testament Gospel Origins (1992) and Jesus in India
(2002). His principal website is: www.tjresearch.info

Neil
Freer is a researcher, writer, lecturer, philosopher and poet living
in Santa Fe, NM. Neil holds a BA in English and did graduate work in Philosophy
and Psychology at the New School for Social Research. (I have purposely foregone
graduate degrees because they focus one more and more narrowly on a particular
specialization, tend to constrain one's thought and exploration to the established,
consensual paradigm of the moment and bind one to tenure, peer and funding pressures.)
He has taught college courses in Philosophy and History of Religion, gives private
and public seminars and lectures and has done over two hundred radio and TV interviews.
Neil is the author of Breaking the Godspell, a book which explores the
ramifications of the archaeological, astronomical and genetic proof for our being
a genetically engineered species and presents the ramifications of this new paradigm
of human nature that resolves the Creationist-Evolutionary conflict. In his second
book, God Games: What Do You Do Forever? he explores the ways in which we will
live when, individually and collectively, we attain the unassailable integrity
afforded by the restoration of our true genetic history. He outlines the species
maturity of the new planetary civilization and describes the “god games”
of immortality, four dimensional consciousness, life after the Law Of Everything,
alien contact, that the new human will play. Neil’s work has appeared as
part of the symposium, Of Heaven and Earth (Book Tree, 1996) which includes the
paper he presented as invited guest speaker at the Zecharia Sitchin Day special
event at the International Association For New Science conference in 1996. An
essay “In The Middle of Whose Ship Are You Standing?” is included in
David Pursglove’s Zen And The Art Of Close Encounters. A one hour interview
with Jeffery Mishlove on Thinking Allowed was aired nationwide on PBS TV September
13th, 1999. He has presented at the Sedona Millennium Conference and The Prophets
Conferences. Neil’s most recent public presentation was as keynote speaker
at the International MUFON conference in Dearborn, MI in July of 2003. He has
presented at the Arlington Institute, a Washington, D.C. futurist think tank to
an audience of Pentagon officers. Principal website: http://www.neilfreer.com

Dr.
Rebecca Hardcastle is originator of the
concept of Exoconsciousness™. This is the study of extraterrestrial dimensions
of human consciousness: the processes, abilities and physical endowments that
link us directly to the cosmos and its inhabitants. Though not formally acknowledged
by scientific and religious institutions, Exoconsciousness is an emerging field
of historic and scientific research that will accelerate as the human species'
self-knowledge parallels its technological achievements. As a dedicated student
of Tibetan yoga, meditation, shamanism and hypnosis, her beliefs were profoundly
expanded when she began to acknowledge and experience extra-dimensional communication
and awareness. A passion for understanding led her to pursue academic and independent
research on extraterrestrial contact and consciousness. She has the privilege
to be mentored by Dr. Ruth Hover, researcher of anomalous phenomenon and ufology
pioneer. Dr. Hardcastle teaches Extraterrestrial Reality at Scottsdale Community
College in Scottsdale, Arizona. She also offers customized training programs and
workshops. Respected as a UFO/extraterrestrial expert by a local television news
affiliate, she has also been interviewed on radio and television. She is featured
in the film documentary, The Phoenix Lights. Her formal education in philosophy
and religion commenced at Otterbein College in Ohio. She then traveled to Basel,
Switzerland to concentrate on continental philosophy. She holds a Master of Divinity
in philosophical theology from Boston University and a Doctor of Philosophy in
parapsychic science from American Institute of Holistic Theology. She is ordained
in the United Methodist Church and is dedicated to introducing Exoconsciousness
and ufology to the religious sector. Professionally, she served as ecumenical
chaplain at Wright State University and Sinclair Community College in Dayton,
Ohio. During her assignment, she was appointed a director of national and local
United Methodist church agencies. Dr. Hardcastle also maintains a private practice
as a holistic hypnotherapist/life coach. A lover of the arts, she co-founded a
jazz-oriented art non-profit in Arizona. At East Valley Institute of Technology
in Mesa, Arizona, she facilitates school-to-career transition programs with major
corporations, small businesses and trades in the Phoenix area. Through her exoconsciousness
work, Dr. Hardcastle is committed to preparation for peaceful co-existence and

Though he may lack any formal academic degrees, it is his unique background that
qualifies him. Prior to an NDE (Near Death Experience) at the age of 22, Steve
was a typical psychic/experiencer—the same as the many he now investigates.
Unlike most typical NDEs, Steve’s psychic experiences came to a halt after
the experience. This allowed him to lead a more normal life, except for being
obligated to honor a perceived promise he made during the course of that NDE,
which allowed for him to remain within this life. This dichotomy created a unique
capability to understand, befriend, and document many current psychics/experiencers,
and associated anomalous phenomena, while also networking the research and study
of this data into the mainstream of science and academia. Most importantly, Steve’s
unique style, investigative methodology, and filtering system has allowed him
to obtain some of the best cases, which demonstrate that benevolent contacts with
possible advanced Extraterrestrial / Ultraterrestrial beings may be current and
ongoing in nature. These may be occurring right under our eyes, showing a willingness
to be documented and to reciprocate back in an equally positive fashion if we
should acknowledge them as such. Likewise, Steve considers one factor of ‘benevolence’
to be when these very same beings will also just ‘leave us alone’, if
even the slightest type of negative response or hostile intent is perceived to
come from us. Qualifying cases that demonstrate benevolent contact are placed
into one of Psi APPLICATIONS’ various “Project Contact Initiatives”.
Over the years he has come to be a respected and seasoned researcher and investigator,
networking with many notable experiencers, contactees, scientists, and scholars.
He has served as a media consultant and advisor, and has appeared as a guest on
numerous radio and T.V. shows. He once served as a co-host for National Cable
Radio Network’s ‘UFO’s Tonight Show’. Steve is also known
for coordinating and leading teams of qualified experts when necessary to scientifically
investigate and report on paranormal phenomenon. This was recently demonstrated
in 2003, in the culmination of a 6-month investigation into 3 record setting crop
formations in California, when a national press conference was held to announce
unprecedented scientific results that were found to exist. This was the first
time such a conference was ever called by an organization like Psi APPLICATIONS,
and considered credible enough to receive full national coverage. For expanded

journey.’ Mary's research focus's on the transformative changes after Contact
such as heightened psi abilities, telepathy, clairvoyance and healing. She explores
the implications of the unusual and complex artwork, scripts, symbols and strange
languages, with “down-loading” of complex data conveyed through mental
images and concepts, ‘energy signatures’ or “wave forms ‘
at this heightened consciousness level. The "new human' ie children with
a history of Contact.“Star Children.” who can exhibit a maturity and
wisdom beyond their years, past life memories and dual consciousness sharing,
and conscious awareness of the spirit and angelic realms. ACERN explores such
connections to the so called 'indigo's, the rise in multidimensional awareness,
and the medical /scientific and metaphysical evidence to support this hypotheses.

Lt.
Col. Wendelle C. Stevens (Ret) was born in 1923 and enlisted in the
U.S. Military Service at an early age. He completed aircrew training as a fighter
pilot and was sent to the Pacific Theater of Operations. He alternated his career
between pilot and Air Technical Service assignments with the Air Technical Intelligence
Center (ATIC) at Wright Field. UFO Projects Sign, Grudge and Blue Book were also
conducted at ATIC. In 1947 Stevens was assigned from ATIC to Alaska where he was
associated with polar weather, mapping and polar survey projects. It was there
that he first encountered stories of real UFOs, and became interested in the subject.
He could never follow the leads there but it was then that he began investigating
the UFO phenomenon for himself. Stevens now has one of the largest collections
of actual UFO photographs in private hands in the world, and has supplied many
of the UFO pictures seen in movies and UFO magazines. He has been actively investigating
UFO contact cases since 1975 when his photo interests brought him into investigating
a UFO contactee case in Switzerland. His principal website is: http://ufophotoarchives.org/
