Welcome! From Your Host of the Virginia Beach UFO Club

Cameron is the Founder & Director of the Virginia Beach UFO Club, which meets regularly at libraries in the area. He also serves as Assistant State Director for Virginia MUFON (the Mutual UFO Network). Cameron had his earliest first-hand experience with UFOs in 2003 when he had a Close Encounter of the First Kind right here in Virginia Beach. Originally born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1983, Cameron has always kept an open mind about the paranormal. Since 2003, Cameron has researched UFOs in earnest and in 2004 obtained a collection of UFO sighting reports from the Virginia Beach City Police Department, dating back to 1976. He has made numerous FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests to other police departments, the FBI and to every US Air Force base in the world seeking UFO sighting records reported in the base security police blotters. Cameron has conducted many MUFON field investigations, qualifying to be part of MUFON's elite fast-response STAR Team. Cameron is enrolled in a science-based college curriculum which should aid him in his continuing career in UFOlogy.

Susan Swiatek

UFO News & Views from the
Virginia MUFON State Director

Susan was born in Washington, DC, yet grew up near Denver, Colorado. Since 1970 she is (again) living near the nation's capital, in Fairfax, Virginia. She is State Director for VA MUFON and is active with the Fund for UFO Research, Inc. (FUFOR). Susan's early years were spent in the Rockies gazing up at the star-filled sky and contemplating the Milky Way. As a child, she read such phenomena based books as Charles Fort's Book of the Damned and Mysterious Fires and Lights by Vincent Gaddis. In 1966, when Betty and Barney Hill's Interrupted Journey exploded onto the pages of Look Magazine, she was hooked on the UFO and abduction mysteries. Susan was greatly influenced by the writings of researchers Budd Hopkins and Dr. David Jacobs, both of whom she now considers friends. Susan holds a BFA degree from the Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore and works in the publishing field. Susan hosted the 1999 MUFON Int'l Symposium just outside Washington, DC and has lectured widely. Her artwork appears in many books such as Ron Story's Extraterrestrial Encyclopedia and Richard Hall's The UFO Evidence-Part II. She has created many publication covers for FUFOR & the UFO Research Coalition.

Jennifer Stein

Crop Circles in the US and Canada!

Using dynamic multi-media, Jen will share with us little known facts about Crop Circle phenomena in the US & Canada. Crop Circles in the Americas have been overlooked as the media focuses on the phenomenon in England. Jennifer Stein earned a BS in Textiles from the University of Arizona and has been an entrepreneur for over 30 years. She's been a clothing designer/manufacturer, event coordinator, and is currently a documentary filmmaker. A significant UFO sighting at the age of 19 ignited her desire to study the UFO phenomenon. Jennifer has been a MUFON State Section Director since 2002 and has served in outreach, hosting ongoing monthly programs of speakers, films and conferences for MUFON in the Philadelphia suburbs thru her group, Main Line MUFON. Her continuing esoteric studies include synchronistic phenomena, Yin & Yang energies, Yoga, Meditation, Kabala, & the practice of Macrobiotics, which involves gourmet vegetarian foods, organic gardening for well-being. Jennifer feels these overlapping interests & integrated disciplines fit together like a large jigsaw puzzle & are needed to understanding the spiritual evolution sweeping our world today as we struggle with phenomena that is not easily understood.

Phil Reynolds

The Changing Face of the UFO Experience — the phenomenon and its interaction with us has changed over time — what might that mean?

Long-time researcher on UFO and Fortean topics, Phil is currently Editor-in-Chief of Invisible College Press and was publisher of the now-defunct phenomena periodical Phoenix Newsletter. Phil has spent hundreds of hours in Point Pleasant, West Virginia investigating the Mothman/ UFO/ Men-in-Black Mystery that occurred there in 1966-67. Today Phil knows many of the key witnesses and researchers. His examinations into various UFO topics and his spiritual explorations over the course of a lifetime have yielded many insights and allow him to put forth his own daring theories concerning the ever-changing UFO subject. By day, Phil has a very responsible career; by night he shakes off the strait-laced world and enters the twilight world of UFOs, cryptozoology and related paranormal topics.
