John C. Sherwood 

John C. Sherwood has been a journalist since 1967, when he began working for his hometown newspaper in Michigan. Today he is television editor for The News Journal Co. in Wilmington, Delaware, and lives in West Grove, Pennsylvania. He and his wife – a clinical psychologist – operate an entertainment business, MysteryVisits. 

John’s interest in UFOs began shortly before the start of the Michigan sightings of 1966 – the series of incidents that gave notoriety to the term “swamp gas.” John’s subsequent book about those events was published the next year by Saucerian Publications, detailing the famous as well as the less well known sightings of that period. It remains the only published survey of that well-known UFO "flap."

As a journalist, John has published interviews with Stanton Friedman and J. Allen Hynek. John also served for a few years as a state section director for the Mutual UFO Network. While no longer active in UFO field work, John maintains a serious interest in the subject, as well as what he hopes is a scientific attitude.
