Discussion: Secrets of Area 51
Tonight, “The Light Gate,” welcomes Peter Merlin (author/researcher) and Michael Schratt, (aerospace historian/researcher/author)
Author Peter Merlin has appeared in more than a dozen film and television documentaries for the History Channel, Discovery, National Geographic, Smithsonian, and others. He is the author of the book, “Dreamland: The Secret History of Area 51.” Dreamland was edited to the same rigorous academic standard as the author’s works published by NASA and the American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics.
This compelling narrative is based on a treasure trove of declassified documents and interviews, and is richly illustrated with more than 700 images, many never published before. Other books include: “Tonopah Test Range,” “Nevada Test Site,” “Green Light for Green Flight” “Unlimited Horizons” and “Area 51.”
Michael is a private pilot, military aerospace historian, longtime UFO researcher, lecturer, draftsman, an expert on classified ‘black projects,” UFO crash/retrievals, the government UFO coverup and more. He is the author of “DARK FILES: A Pictorial History of Lost, Forgotten and Obscure UFO Encounters.” He is a frequent guest on radio shows and podcasts. He has appeared on Coast to Coast and many other major podcasts, and regularly speaks at UFO conferences including, Contact in the Desert. His book, DARK FILES, presents 61 fully illustrated UFO encounters from around the world.
These cases were obtained from real world "boots on the ground" research by gaining access to university archives, multiple UFO research centers, and private collections. All cases presented contain references so that the reader can verify them on their own. Every effort was taken to portray these cases accurately from eyewitness accounts and reports, thereby preserving an important part of our global history. This publication contains never before seen illustrations which make these historically significant UFO cases "come alive.”
Tonight, Michael and Peter will be presenting their research into the super-secret and highly controversial base, Area 51. What is going on there? We will be doing a deep dive and see what we can find out!
