John Steiger has been engaged in UFO research since 2010. After attending the Roswell UFO Festival, John became inspired by the idea of a jury trial drama – with the audience as jury – to examine the truth between the arguments advanced by pro-Roswell UFO advocates and anti-Roswell UFO skeptics. Once he completed THE ROSWELL TRIAL, John proceeded to research THE RENDLESHAM FOREST UFOS devising a Board of Inquiry to question the prime witnesses and determine just what happened. His final drama herein, WILL TO BELIEVE: The Brooklyn Bridge UFO Investigation, is presented in the form of a debate among the principals as to the credibility of this transcendent alien abduction. THE UFO TRILOGY is John's first publication.

On October 11, 1973, the then 19-year-old Calvin Parker and his friend, Charles Hickson, were fishing in Pascagoula River in MS. They were abducted by three humanoids, taken into a glowing craft. On board the alien ship, both were subjected to a physical examination, before being returned to the river bank. When the ship departed, they found a telephone and called the sheriff. The next day, their encounter was national news which seemed to kick off the October 1973 wave of UFO sightings. Last year Parker told his story in detail for the first time including his regression sessions conducted by the late Budd Hopkins. Since publication of the book, other witnesses have been located and Parker has related additional past encounters with the aliens. His latest book is Pascagoula – The Story Continues.
