Scott & Suzanne Ramsey

Aztec New Mexico UFO Incident: New Findings

The charming couple of Scott & Suzanne were brought together over the Aztec UFO Incident. With 20+ years of study, the duo has lent credibility to the 1950 Frank Scully story in his book Behind the Flying Saucers. The idea of a flying saucer crashing or landing outside the town of Aztec in the spring of 1948 has some compelling evidence to support it. Extensive modern research involved finding the precise location of the site, and the most probable location emerged as being high on a mesa. There the Ramseys found the infamous concrete slab; Was the slab just part of oilfield history, or did it play a part in the alleged UFO recovery operation as told by a few? Expert oilfield workers, engineers and a leading concrete and engineering company evaluated the age of the concrete and rebar inside the thick slab. To see the slab in its odd location up on the mesa is a very convincing experience, and your hosts Rob & Sue Swiatek were quite impressed while on location with the Ramseys. Join us as Scott & Suzanne take us on a journey back to 1948 in Aztec, New Mexico!

Cameron Pack

UFOs and the Amateur Researcher

Cameron Pack gained his earliest first-hand experience with the subject of UFOs in 2003 when he had a Close Encounter of the First Kind in his current hometown of Virginia Beach, Virginia. Cameron was born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1983 and has always kept an open mind about the paranormal. After his 2003 sighting, Cameron began to research UFOs in earnest and in 2004 obtained a collection of UFO sighting reports from the Virginia Beach City Police Department, dating back to 1976. He has made numerous FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests to other police departments, the FBI and to every US Air Force base in the world seeking UFO sighting reports found within the base security forces police blotters. Most recently he was able to observe the east coast’s spectacular falling meteorite of March 29, 2009. Cameron will speak on all of these topics during his lecture. Cameron is currently taking a science based curriculum of college courses and intends to become a MUFON Field Investigator within a few months.
