In this episdoe Kathleen shares about her struggle between her left-brain approach to UFO research and her more recent attempts using non-conventional methods, which really began with stuying alleged alien communications through "contactee" Kevin Briggs. Marden also critques AARO (All-Domain Anomoly Resolution Office); and reveals why full disclosure of an ET presence may not, sociologically, be a smart approach. Kathleen discusses surveys she was involved with which indicated that people of faith would be more open to ET contact than atheists or agnostics -  a conclusion I personally struggle to understand.

Kathleen Marden's lifelong pursuit of UFO and extraterrestrial contact research stems from her personal connection to the 1961 Betty and Barney Hill abduction. This experience ignited decades of dedicated investigation, archival research, and advocacy, including placing the Hills' records at the University of New Hampshire.

With a background in education and sociology, she transitioned into a leading UFO researcher and author, contributing significantly to MUFON's Experiencer Research Team and participating in four large-scale studies on experiencers. Marden's extensive publications, include two editions of Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience, Science Was Wrong (also published in Chinese) and Fact, Fiction, and Flying Saucers, The Alien Abduction Files, Extraterrestrial Contact: What to do When You’ve Been Abducted (also published in French), and two editions of Forbidden Knowledge.

Her work as an advocate highlights her commitment to understanding and supporting individuals who have experienced contact with non-human entities. She has appeared as an on-camera expert on sixty two television and video productions, and innumerable radio shows, and podcasts. Additionally, she has lectured at conferences across the United States and in several foreign countries.  Find Kathleen at www.kathleen-marden.com.
