THE OZ FACTOR

Photos

As a MUFON Field Investigator for Mutual UFO Network originating in 1992, and as a Field Investigator in 2005, I have been a UFO enthusiast ever since childhood with my first unusual experiences going back to ages 3 and 4 in 1956 and 1957. I have had the opportunity to meet and greet with some of the most well known, respected and maybe even "Far Out" authors, researchers, lecturers and reporters on the subject of UFO's. The subjects of study and discussion regard UFO's, extraterrestrial contact, disclosure, abductions, sightings, case study investigations, education, history, technology and much more than can be readily stated here.

In addition to these photos, I have had the opportunity to rub elbows with many top UFO researchers such as:

Ted Phillips...outstanding UFO Field Investigator from the 1960's who worked with Dr. J. Allen Hynek, founder of CUFOS (The Center for UFO Studies). Dr. Hynek is the man at the end of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" looking up at the UFO mothership with a pipe in his mouth before it leaves.

Stan Gordon...noted Bigfoot researcher and ufologist who authored "Silent Invasion: The Pennsylvania UFO-Bigfoot Case"

Leslie Kean...author of "UFO's: Generals, pilots and government go on the record," Leslie brought a lawsuit against NASA regarding the 1965 Kecksberg UFO case through CFI (The Coalition for Freedom of Information) regarding the Freedom of Information Act, and in 2009 published her final conclusions of her lawsuit. For those interested in Freedom of Information PRO OR CON...in my humble opinion, this COUNTRY owes her a debt of gratitude for her efforts.

Peter Robbins...author of "Left at Eastgate," is the UFO account of Larry Warren at Bentwaters-Woodbridge. It took nearly ten years of Robbins' life to put this book together. It is an outstanding account of the UFO encounter that took place at the Royal Air Force Base in England December of 1980. Peter has an adventurous life story, traveling the world with an education in Art. He shared interesting stories from his life in Theater Management. Our time spent touring the Buffalo Museum of Art proved to be an enlightening experience for me as Peter's knowledge of Art made for a truly educational and delightful experience.

Anna Jamerson...author of "Connections" gives a riveting account of unusual synchronicity combined with the devastating subject of abductions.

Dr. Jeff Meldrum...Adjunct Associate Professor of Anthropology at Idaho State University, is a scientific Bigfoot researcher whose book "Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science" takes you on the search for the legendary beast.

I have met them all over the years and with the photos below you will see the twists and turns the life of THE BALKAN LION has taken, and see some of the wonderful people I have met. Thats the upside because the downside is that I continually ask myself..."Is it all real?!"

Faith-Fate and the Unknown...

"You decide which is real... and which is an illusion."
Quote from the song "Nights in White Satin"..

and NO...I have NEVER taken Drugs...Ever...

knowledge the first African American to organize and teach on the
subject of UFO's. He has taught at Temple University in Arizona and is
well known for his contributions to the field of Ufology and it's relation
to other subjects. A true gentleman.

States for more than 25 years. He has served as an international MUFON
coordinator for years, spoken at many conferences over the decades
