(Who are we...?  Who's behind all this malarkey anyway?)

(2003, March 17, from W.H. )  Welcome! I'm going to try using this About Us page to give you news about this Dr.UFO web site and point you to some pages you might want to look into. Many changes have been made in the past few weeks. Every time a new conference comes up we take the opportunity to update the site and do some enhancements. This time we have major changes so I'd like to explain them.

Every page has been updated so even if you've seen the site before you may want to browse through it again.

The Conference Schedule  page is updated regularly so if you want the latest info on when your favorite speakers will begin, check that page of this web site. The schedule is usually updated within a day or two of any changes.  There are always some last minute additions, subtractions and rescheduling for the conference.

We finally filled out the Conference Archive section. For each past conference (since the establishment of the this web site) we have three items: The actual schedule of the past conference, the speakers list with their bio's, their work and their history, and (3rd) a photo-gallery. You can get to all this from the Archives page. For conferences previous to this web site (and there were many) we do not have data that is digitized or computerized so that history is not accessible. It could be scanned and put up on the web but the time and cost to do so is prohibitive. If anyone wants to make a sizable ($) donation for that purpose it could be done. 

Come to think of it, what could also be done is an online catalog of Dr. UFO's entire library of books, tapes, videos, etc.  It might take a government grant (well, maybe some philanthopist favorably disposed to the subject) to complete that project but it's a thought. (Any grant proposal writers out there?)

We have a page devoted to Videos from past conferences.  This is only a partial list. Most every lecture from all past conferences (going back about 8-10 years ) are available on video for purchase. Check with Dr. UFO (top dog) for more info. I've included an Order Form page. Just print the order-form page, fill it out and send it in.

Now for the personalities involved in this project:

Pat Marcattilio (Top Dog)

Pat had his first UFO sighting 1963 and has been a UFO buff ever since. Pat hosts the New Jersey / Pennsylvania / Hamilton UFO Study Group which has been running continuously for 18,000 years. Actually, the name of the group is longer than some of the meetings. To make up for that though, we usually meet at the Golden Dawn restaurant in Hamilton before and after the monthly meetings.  Link to Meetings for more info.  

On a serious note, Pat seems to have a lot of staying power in this field. Long after others quit or burn out Pat just keeps going and going, like the Energizer Bunny. Actually, there are lots of batteries around his house to power all those alien gadgets so maybe he really IS the Energizer Bunny in disguise? Aliens can be shape shifters, ya know. Pat has been holding regular meetings on the subject for over 18 years, and, since 1992, he has been hosting conferences twice a year consistently. He travels to major UFO conferences around the world and his contacts in the field are extensive.

Wayne Hardy, Technical Advisor and Web Site Consultant

Possessor of bundles of computer equipment and purveyor of wacky rhetoric, Wayne has done a great deal of work on this site (much of which needs to be edited so we're not held liable for it). But we like him anyway. He is largely responsible for the look and feel of this web site but the best content comes from George.

Wayne wears many hats, figuratively speaking, although, literally, he doesn't wear any hats at all. He has done major work on this web site, of late. But he can also be seen speaking at meetings, wandering around the conferences, bothering Karin and generally popping up here and there. One of his major hats is that of Computer Consultant. If you're having trouble with your computer he's the guy to call (I hope I don't regret saying that). Computers is one of his "real" professions.

George Hansen - Knowledgeable, well read, and thorough thinker, George hails from the field of... let's see, is it civil engineering, anthropology or parapsychology?...  Don't forget to ask George where he hails from. Until we get a picture for George he is represented by this 'orc'. The orc looks mean. That's because George is always ready to wield the sword of truth to debunk frauds or the debunkers themselves, and generally impale whoever attempts to muddy the waters of serious inquiry. George is a serious inquirer. Author of that tricky "trickster" book in which he discusses new and reveling ways to think about fringe phenomena (like this web site), George is an original thinker and often a breath of fresh air in the midst of true believers and misguided debunkers. Those who believe blindly and those who disbelieve are both enemies of the truth... Well, I'll let him tell you the rest of it.

George does a lot of work on the "content" for this site. He digs out the skinny on the conference speakers and posts their pictures, bios and histories. George and Wayne work ont he site together (but if you find any problems go see Karin).

Karin Marcattilio, Webmistress - Karin is the inspiration behind this site (what will she think of next?). For any corrections, edits, compliments or flames email Karin  at:  karin@drufo.org 

This web site was originally Karin's idea. She is the catalyst who got the ball rolling. A year before there was a site she had the foresight to register the domain name in preparation for the inevitable. She is a master (mistress?) of "getting people to do things." So, although her specific contributions may not be visible, they are always evident ( what? ).

Karin can always be found helping at conferences. She's been assisting Pat since, well, since her beginning, I guess. 

Tom Benson - Hey, where's Tom? Tom, are you there? Say something about yourself! Oh well, Tom's not here to comment so we'll have to wait for his bio blurb. Tune in again next week for some info on Tom.

Gremlins - These little funnies have provided encounters with murphy's law, been a continual source of annoyance and entertainment and, although factitious, they turn out to be quite useful to blame for just about everything.

Keith Edwards - Clairvoyant Psychic, Telepath, Advisor on Cross Dimensional Technology and Local Wizard   

Keith is visiting us in an exchange program. He is on loan from the Pleiades. He often isolates himself because he finds humans such a strange vibration. He is also very confused by how they lie, steal and kill each other, try desperately to turn their planet into the out house of the solar system, and produce TV shows that are stupider than...  Keith is sometimes available for readings. Learn more about Keith at www.KeithEdwards.info. You can Email him at:  Keith@KeithEdwards.info
