His book, DARK FILES, presents 61 fully illustrated UFO encounters from around the world.

All cases presented contain references so that the reader can verify them on their own.<\/p>\n

Every effort was taken to portray these cases accurately from eyewitness accounts and reports, thereby preserving an important part of our global history. This publication contains never before seen illustrations which make these historically significant UFO cases “come alive.\u201d Tonight, Michael will be presenting new cases that he discovered while researching the archives of APRO (The Aerial Phenomena Research Organization) headed by Jim and Coral Lorenzen. This was the first UFO citizen study group to have a major impact on the subject.<\/p>\n
