Duane Tudahl

Producer of  "UFO Files" & the Original "UFO Hunters" Special

Why are so many UFO shows on TV not nearly as good as they should be? How many times have you turned on a program that you hoped would be a balanced look at UFOs, only to feel tricked by the end of the show? Who is responsible for the content of these programs? Is it the networks’ agenda to debunk the reality of UFOs?

As a producer, writer and/or editor for many episodes of the History Channel show, “UFO Files”, Duane will reveal the source of this bias and some of the roadblocks he ran into while conceiving and creating shows for the series. He will also discuss evidence he found out along the way that turned him from a skeptic into someone who respects the reality of UFOs. He’ll be discussing his experiences working on episodes such as: Hanger 18, Grey’s Agenda, Alien Encounters, UFO Hot Spots, UFO Hunters (the original special, not the current series), Texas’ Roswell and When UFOs Arrive. He’ll also tell us a little about his current projects.

Duane Tudahl grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, where he worked as a medical photographer in the Pathology Department of Johns Hopkins Hospital (Bay View). He moved to Los Angeles in 1987 and was soon editing such Emmy-nominated shows as “Unsolved Mysteries” and the first season of “COPS”. Over time, Duane worked as a producer, writer or editor for over 30 major-network TV programs, including “Ripley’s Believe It or Not”, “Intervention” and “World’s Wildest Police Videos”.

Along the way, he was fortunate enough to team up with co-producer John Greenewald Jr. and have the chance to interview some of the brightest people in the UFO field, including Stanton Friedman, Ted Phillips, Scott Ramsey, Ruben Uriarte, Jim Marrs, Ryan Wood, Stephen Bassett, Ann Drufel and Nick Redfern, among others. Duane has now started his own production company, Mariner Point Productions <www.marinerpointprods.tv>, and is currently in various stages of production on several shows, including a new one about UFOs.

Rob Simone

"UFOs In The Headlines"

Rob Simone is an award-winning media personality and accomplished TV and radio producer. In addition to writing two books, Rob is a feature writer for a national magazine and was recently included in FATE Magazine’s “Top 100 Ufologists” list, along with Dan Aykroyd and Steven Spielberg.

Rob will be lecturing on his new book "UFOs In The Headlines”. His multi-media, PowerPoint presentation on the history of the UFOs and the E.T. presence from a journalistic perspective will include recent UFO-related national news items and archival footage, including new revelations about the 1952 Washington D.C. flap, a dramatic UFO encounter during N.A.T.O's Operation Mainbrace and an incident in which a UFO hovered for half an hour over a soccer stadium in front of 15,000 fans in Florence, Italy. We will also hear public statements made about UFOs by Arthur C. Clarke, the RAF, U.S. Air Force and The Duke of Edinburgh, among others.

In the late 1990's, Rob earned a legal degree and began working for “Citizens Against UFO Secrecy”. C.A.U.S. was the first UFO organization to bring lawsuits against the Department of Defense and the Air Force to expose the government’s cover-up of the extra-terrestrial phenomenon. By collecting affidavits, eye-witness testimony and photographs for trial evidence, Rob became the world’s first “Para-Normal Para-Legal”. One of these lawsuits was taken all the way to the Supreme Court on appeal, and is still used today as a legal precedent.

Rob Simone has traveled through 27 countries exploring mysterious and sacred places and the unexplained phenomena that surround them. Rob hosts a top-rated talk show on 104.4 FM in London and is founder of A.I.R., The Association of Independent Researchers. He has been featured in UFO Magazine UK, FATE Magazine, Japan's NIPPON TV, China's CCTV, and recently on a two-hour episode of the History Channel’s "Decoding The Past."
