Mark Center

Mark Center started looking into UFOs after buying a Billy Meier beam ships’ laserdisc in the late 1980s. As a movie maniac, Mark has had a high interest in sci-fi, horror, exploitation, and documentaries. That material also helped spark his interest in aliens, Bigfoot, strange archeology, etc.

In 1994 Mark contacted a few U.K.-based researchers regarding a claim that an alien autopsy video had appeared. With the help of the UFO Audio-Video Clearing House, Mark secured a copy of the video material that was sent to Fox for later broadcast as the “Alien Autopsy: Fact or Fiction. Mark’s research made it possible for him to be the first person in the USA to secure a Japanese broadcast copy, “Cameraman’s Interview.” At this point, Mark started self-publishing a newsletter; UFOs – Aliens and YOU. Each issue covered the Alien Autopsy in depth; what was happening on the CompuServe Encounters Forum, his face-to-face and phone interviews about that footage, and other related UFO and alien information. Mark even paid for the postage, the newsletter, and associated videos were all given away, free of any charge. To that end, Mark gave away a half-million pages of information and videotapes numbering in the hundreds to find the truth.

His research has been featured on KTVU Channel 2 Oakland, Fangoria magazine, and various websites and publications. He’s appeared on several radio shows, the Joe Dale Show and The Dr. Bob Hieronimus Show.

When not researching UFOs and aliens, Mark spends his time watching and researching movies.  He enjoys playing and researching music, focusing on guitar, studying and researching human behavior, building and constructing interesting and odd things around the house, and hosting events to support various causes and just for fun.

Mark Center; “Simple belief does not make a case or event real. Only unbiased, agenda-free research will prove a case as real, fake, or something in between, and it would help to have verified physical evidence. As of 2018, we have none.”
