About Butch Witkowski;

Butch has been an Independent Researcher since 1989 when he, along with 4 other people, witnessed a UFO of unbelievable size quietly hover above a mountain in Tucson, Arizona. It was totally silent. Burn Copper in color and at least three football fields in length. It moved slowly up and down, then rose upwards, moved forward, and then vanished at lightning speed. they all agreed on what they had just seen. However, calls to the Sheriff’s Dept., the news media, and the local Air Force base yielded no sighting reports. Butch began his own investigation into the UFO Phenomenon on that day.

After joining MUFON, Butch was able to dig deeper into past and existing cases and pursue even more on site investigations, but my research was still lacking something and he wasn’t getting to the crucial answers that he was seeking.

Butch started the UFO Research Center of Pennsylvania in 2009 and brought together some of the best like-minded researchers he could find.

Butch is the Founder and Director of the UFO Research Center of Pennsylvania, Editor of JAAR the Journal of Abnormal Abduction Research, a member of the Institute of Frontier Science, Member of Academia d Ufologie, ParaNexus Consultant and Advisor on Ufology, Former MUFON Chief Investigator, Star Team Investigator and State Section Director. Butch is a retired Law Enforcement Officer.

The use of multi-disciplined investigators enhanced their fact finding like no other group that he’s aware of at the present. Their primary objective is to pursue both the historical cases and new cases that arise with hopes of bringing resolution to some of these cases of High Strangeness. The group also fields two fully equipped mobile units and have affiliate groups in nine states and one in Europe

It's Paranormal News and Discussion this week on BTE Radio as we introduce a new Paranormal News Correspondent Fred Kracke. Fred will be bringing us the latest Para, Crypto, UFO and weird news stories from around the world and as usual we'll be discussing them as only we do! So tune in this Sunday night 8 to 10 pm est. as we welcome Fred Kracke and discuss Para-News on Beyond The Edge Radio.

This week we welcome Author and investigator Nigel Kerner to the program as we'll be discussing Aliens living among us as well as abductions. Nigel is the author of two books: Grey Aliens and the Harvesting of Souls (Inner Traditions/Bear & Company) and The Song of the Greys (Hodder & Stoughton). He has just completed his third book ‘The Margins of Forever’ which will be released next year. Nigel has done several radio interviews, including Coast to Coast, Jeff Rense, the Veritas show and Paranormal Podcast. Join us this week for what is sure to be a thought provoking and interesting discussion about Aliens among us this week on BTE Radio.

About Nigel: Nigel Kerner is an author and freelance journalist. He was born in Sri Lanka, his mother from a British planting family and his father an officer in the British Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm. This international family base provided the background for an obsessive and serious interest in international human affairs and how these interface with science, religion and philosophy.

He has felt driven, from his young years, to expose the humbug and hypocrisy in modern scientific and religious and social thinking. His formal graduate education is in biomedical science and human behavioural psychology.

His fascination with the puzzling and enigmatic phenomenon of UFOs resulted in his first book 'The Song of the Greys' published by Hodder & Stoughton in 1997. This serious work on the subject is now noted world-wide for its radical view on the phenomenon. His latest book, 'Grey Aliens and the Harvesting of Souls' published by Inner Traditions/Bear & Company is the second in a trilogy about the UFO phenomenon and its social repercussions on humanity. His books and numerous articles have established his unique thesis as part of the canon of serious literature on the subject.

Nigel Kerner lives with his wife and family on his estate in middle England. He has a passionate interest in projects on behalf of the deprived and disadvantaged of developing nations. He is at present working with his family and a team of European friends and volunteers on a medical and agro-development project done on behalf of the rural poor in a country in the Far East. This takes up much of his spare time.

His hobbies include reading science literature and journals, wild-life videography, wildlife conservation activities, singing and song writing. His sporting passions are Cricket and Rugby Union.

Nothing brings smiles than holiday music. The master of Holiday music are returning to BTE Radio this week with a new twist on Holiday music for the Christmas season Ed Douglas and Gavin Goszka are back with us to share music from their new album Christmas: A ghostly gathering. Ed and Gavin will be sharing behind the scenes details and tracks from their new holiday album as only Midnight Syndicate deliver. So you better watch out, you better not cry, Midnight Syndicate is coming to BTE Radio this week!

For almost two decades, composers Edward Douglas and Gavin Goszka have been known as Midnight Syndicate, creating symphonic soundtracks to imaginary films that facilitate a transcendental and adventurous escape into the secret dimensions of the mind's eye. To many of their fans, they are Gothic music pioneers brewing a signature blend of orchestral horror music and movie-style sound effects. To others, they remain the first "haunted house band" that forever changed the Halloween music genre and became a staple of the October holiday season. And some know them as the duo that created the first official soundtrack to the legendary Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game. Their critically-acclaimed works are reminiscent of sweeping, complex masterpieces by artists such as James Horner, Danny Elfman, Black Sabbath and King Diamond and have been featured as a part of groundbreaking films, television shows, video games and at haunted attractions, amusement parks and live performances worldwide.

Midnight Syndicate has released a Yuletide-inspired album, entitled Christmas: A Ghostly Gathering. The new album features the band's unique twist on classic holiday carols blended with new and original material. "Our goal was to treat each song in a way that would merge familiarity with originality," said Gavin Goszka. "There are definitely recognizable elements, but plenty of additional original material as well. It also incorporates the widest instrument palette we've used to date and represents what we consider to be the most varied collection of songs we've ever released. There are serenely beautiful moments here alongside more intense, darker tracks, and the end result is a thoroughly compelling and involving listening experience." "With so many Christmas-themed albums out there, we wanted to make this collection uniquely our own," added Edward Douglas. "I think we were able to do that."
