(East Lansing) in 1962 and 1964, respectively, in the field of Experimental
Psychology.
After working at NASA-Ames from 1967 - 1986 as a research scientist
in numerous astronautical (Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Space Station)
and aeronautical (e.g., Mgr. of the Joint FAA/NASA Head-up Display
Program, landing simulation research) projects, he was appointed Chief
of the Space Human Factors Office at NASA-Ames (1986-1988) where he
directed research and development efforts of the AX-5 "hard" EVA space

spacecraft window design.
He retired from government service in 1988 and taught at San Jose
State University as an Associate Professor of Psychology while working

Science. From 1990-1991 he has provided consulting services to NASA
in various laboratory activities related to supersonic wind tunnel

image transmission reduction.
His interest in UFO phenomena spans over 20 years with special
interests in sightings by pilots, analysis of photographic evidence,
and data on Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind. He claims that, "these
three areas contain the type of data that will bring us to a successful
discovery of the core nature of the phenomena.
