Tonight our guest is Paul Hynek and we are going to dive deep into the world of Artificial Intelligence. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
Paul has worked in tech and entertainment and is currently a business consultant. Paul is also a former adjunct professor at Pepperdine University, and was a consultant for the History Channel series Project Blue Book, based on a real project to investigate UFOs from 1952 to 1969. Paul is the son of Dr. J. Allen Hynek, an astronomer who worked with the U.S. Air Force investigating UFO cases from 1948 to the end of Blue Book in 1969. Dr. J. Allen Hynek began his investigation with USAF as a skeptic, but by the time Blue Book ended, he was convinced some UFO cases posed a real mystery.
A native of Fort Worth, Texas, Mr. Marrs earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism from the University of North Texas in 1966 and attended Graduate School at Texas Tech in Lubbock for two years more. He has worked for several Texas newspapers, including the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, where beginning in 1968 he served as police reporter and general assignments reporter covering stories locally, in Europe and the Middle East. After a leave of absence to serve with a Fourth Army intelligence unit during the Vietnam War, he became military and aerospace writer for the newspaper and an investigative reporter. Since 1980, Mr. Marrs has been a free-lance writer, author and public relations consultant. He also published a rural weekly newspaper along with a monthly tourism tabloid, a cable television show and several videos.
In 2007, Mr. Marrs retired from the University of Texas at Arlington where he had taught a course on the Kennedy assassination since 1976. In 1989, his book, Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy, was published to critical acclaim and reached the New York TimesPaperback Non-Fiction Best Seller list in mid-February 1992. It became a basis for the Oliver Stone film JFK. Mr. Marrs served as a chief consultant for both the film’s screenplay and production.
Beginning in 1992, Mr. Marrs spent three years researching and completing a non-fiction book on a top-secret government program involving the psychic phenomenon known as remote viewing only to have it mysteriously canceled as it was going to press in the summer of 1995. Within two months, the story of military-developed remote viewing broke nationally in the Washington Post after the CIA revealed the program but put their own spin on psychic studies. Psi Spies was finally published by New Page Books in 2007.
In May, 1997, Marrs’ in-depth investigation of UFOs, Alien Agenda, was published by HarperCollins Publishers. Mr. Marrs has been a featured speaker at a number of national conferences including the Annual International UFO Congress and the Annual Gulf Breeze UFO Conference. It has been translated into several foreign languages and become the top-selling non-fiction UFO book in the world. He began teaching a course on UFOs at the University of Texas at Arlington in 2000.
Also in early 2000, HarperCollins published Rule by Secrecy, which traced the hidden history that connects modern secret societies to the Ancient Mysteries. It too reached the New York Times Best Seller list. In 2003, his book The War on Freedom probed the conspiracies of the 9/11 attacks and their aftermath. It was released in 2006 under the title The Terror Conspiracy. In mid-2008, his book The Rise of the Fourth Reich, detailing the infiltration of National Socialism into the USA, was published followed by a study of mysteries entitled Above Top Secret.
An award-winning journalist, Mr. Marrs is listed both in Who’s Who in the World and Who’s Who in America. Mr. Marrs has won several writing and photography awards including the Aviation/Aerospace Writer’s Association’s National Writing Award and Newsmaker of the Year Award from the Fort Worth Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. In 1993, Mr. Marrs received Freedom Magazine’s Human Rights Leadership Award.

Tonight, Tuesday on FADE to BLACK: Paul Hynek is with us for a night of Bitcoin and UFOs... what is the connection? There is one, and tonight you'll find out!
Paul has worked in tech and entertainment and is currently a business consultant. Paul is also a former adjunct professor at Pepperdine University, and was a consultant for the History Channel series Project Blue Book, based on a real project to investigate UFOs from 1952 to 1969.

Tonight, Monday on FADE to BLACK: Kathleen Marden joins us to announce the release of her new book: "Forbidden Knowledge: A Personal Journey from Alien Abduction to Spiritual Transformation".
Kathleen Marden is an author, on camera expert, consultant, international conference presenter, experiencer advocate, intergenerational experiencer, and hypnosis practitioner. Since 1990, she has researched the perplexing nature of UFOs and the non-human entities associated with highly advanced aerial vehicles via her own groundbreaking research, investigation, and experimentation. She is the 2021 recipient of the International UFO Congress Lifetime Achievement Award.
For thirty years, she engaged in scientifically focused research on ET experiencers, the history of government involvement in major UFO studies, and the US Government’s obfuscation of the facts. During this time, she was closely associated with the Mutual UFO Network as its director of the experiencer research team and the Edgar Mitchell Foundation for Research into Extraterrestrial and Extraordinary Encounters as a research consultant and advisory board member. This has combined to give her a depth of knowledge that few possess.
Her interest in UFOs and contact began in 1961, when her aunt and uncle Betty and Barney Hill had a close encounter and subsequent abduction in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. She has conducted an extensive, multi-year investigation of their experiences.
Tonight, Wednesday on FADE to BLACK: Charles Ostman, who has worked at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, and Los Alamos National Laboratory, will discuss the Evolution of Artificial Intelligence.

He was co-founder of NanoSig, an organization with the primary charter of facilitating investment in nanotechnology related ventures, chair of the NanoElectronics and Photonics Forum, and senior consultant with Silicon Valley Nano Ventures.
He had also been a primary consultant with Fourth Venture, a business development entity with the primary goal of transitioning former soviet / eastern bloc military technical expertise toward non-military applications, and a participant with the Millennium Project, a global participatory futures research "think tank" of futurists, scientists and others for developing relevant policy options for international agencies and organizations, NGOs, and universities.
Experience encompasses a diverse range of technical development projects at facilities including GTE Lenkurt, Litton Industries, Lucas Films, Phoenix Laser Systems, NanoThinc, Omni Scientific Instruments, Evolutionary Networks, and a variety of other technology related companies and institutions.
Charles has authored numerous technical papers and published articles, lectures frequently around the country and abroad, has contributed content featured in a number of books, and in interviews on TV and radio programs.
