Why I Got Into UFO Research
People often ask how I got started in all this — chasing the truth about UAPs, digging through documents, breaking down footage, and staying up late connecting the dots. So here it is.
I’ve been fascinated with the unknown for as long as I can remember. Even as a kid, I was the one scouring the library shelves for anything about UFOs, aliens, or anything remotely unexplained. By my teens, I was completely hooked—falling asleep most nights listening to Art Bell on Coast to Coast AM, letting those eerie late-night conversations spark my imagination and curiosity. Art was more than a radio host to me, he was a guide into the unknown.
What might surprise you is that I wasn’t your typical “UFO nerd.” I was an athlete in high school. I had a big group of friends, was involved in everything, and lived a pretty normal life on the surface. But even then, something deeper kept pulling me back to the skies. The mystery never left me.
As I got older, that curiosity turned into something more serious. I realized that behind the noise and sensationalism, there was a real phenomenon and a massive effort to understand it, cover it up, or both. I started reading more, connecting with other researchers, listening to the voices that mattered, and filtering out the noise.
Eventually, I decided to stop just consuming the information and start contributing. That’s when I launched the UAP Reporting Center Twitter page. What started as a side project has grown into something much bigger, a full-time effort, fueled by passion and a desire to help others make sense of the biggest mystery of our time.
I’m not doing this for fame or clicks. I’m doing it because I believe something is going on, something that deserves serious attention, thoughtful analysis, and an open but critical mind. I’ve spoken to witnesses, researchers, scientists, and skeptics. I’ve been down the rabbit holes and learned when to climb back out.
To the 10,000+ of you following along: thank you. Whether you’re a skeptic, believer, or somewhere in between, I appreciate you being part of this journey. This isn’t just about lights in the sky — it’s about truth, transparency, and the human experience. We’re all in this together. Stay curious. Stay grounded. And always keep looking up.
