Kathleen’s Presentation:
“The Barney and Betty Hill Case.”
Meeting Re-Cap:
A substantial number of attendees gathered on the frigid final day of February 2026, and Kathleen Marden delivered an exceptional presentation.
Kathleen presented a groundbreaking new presentation, which was the first to be shared with the public. Consequently, we cannot provide extensive details, and there will not be a Northland MUFON YouTube video. However, MUFON offers a wealth of information from its extensive archives.
For those unfamiliar with Kathleen, she is the niece of Barney and Betty Hill, the most documented and extensively studied case of abduction in history. The incident occurred in 1961, and Kathleen possesses all relevant documents, clothing, hypnosis tapes, and previously undisclosed information. If you did not attend in person or via Zoom, you missed a significant portion of the presentation.
This writer, who believed they possessed comprehensive knowledge of this case, was pleasantly surprised to discover a wealth of new information. Kathleen meticulously maps out their entire road trip, accompanied by photographs from that era and the current landscape. While Barney expressed a desire to avoid further investigation, Betty exhibited a keen interest and pursued it due to a series of unsettling dreams.
Kathleen has authored several books, and here are some recommended readings:
- FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE: A Personal Journey from Alien Abduction to Spiritual Transformation by Kathleen Marden
- The Alien Abduction Files: The Most Startling Cases of Human Alien Contact Ever Reported by Kathleen Marden and Denise Stone
- Extraterrestrial Contact: What to Do When You’ve Been Abducted by Kathleen Marden, Laural Merlington et al (an official MUFON book)
- Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience by Kathleen Marden
- Science Was Wrong: Startling Truths About Cures, Theories & Inventions They Declared Impossible by Kathleen Marden
- Fact, Fiction, and Flying Saucers: The Truth Behind the Misinformation, Distortion, and Derision by Debunkers, Government Agencies, and Conspiracy Conmen by Stanton T Friedman and Kathleen Marden
- UFOs and Aliens: Is There Anybody Out There? by Kathleen Marden
- The Alien Abduction Files by Kathleen Marden and Denise Stoner
Joke of the Month brought to you by Ellie Maher at Full Circle Soul: Why don’t aliens ever send the government a postcard? Because every time they do, it arrives blacked out.
Sev Tok will be our presenter on March 28th, which should be a great time! See you there!

Kathleen’s Bio:
Kathleen Marden is a nationally recognized UFO researcher, author, educator, and lecturer with more than five decades of experience in investigation, research, and public education. She earned her B.A. from the University of New Hampshire and completed graduate studies in education at the University of Cincinnati and the University of New Hampshire. A member of the Alpha Kappa Delta sociology honor society, she spent fifteen years as a professional educator, where she designed and implemented model educational programs, supervised and evaluated instructional staff, and taught adult education courses on UFO history and abduction research.
Marden served for ten years as Director of MUFON’s Field Investigator Training Program and another ten years as Director of MUFON’s Experiencer Research Team, playing a central role in shaping modern investigative standards and experiencer research protocols. She is the recipient of the International UFO Congress Lifetime Achievement Award and currently serves as a MUFON lifetime member, benefactor, and research consultant for the Experiencer Resource Team. She also served on the Advisory Board of the Edgar Mitchell Foundation for Research into Extraterrestrial and Extraordinary Encounters (FREE) and has participated in four major experiencer research studies involving nearly 5,500 participants.
Her connection to the subject is both professional and deeply personal. On September 20, 1961, at the age of thirteen, she received a phone call from her aunt, Betty Hill, reporting that she and her husband Barney had encountered a “flying saucer” the previous night in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. As a firsthand witness to the physical evidence and emotional aftermath of the encounter, Kathleen Marden possesses unparalleled access to the Hills’ personal histories, psychological profiles, and never-before-published archival materials related to the first scientifically investigated UFO abduction case in U.S. history.
Following Betty Hill’s death in 2004, Marden compiled two permanent archival collections for the Milne Special Collections and Archives Department at the University of New Hampshire Library. These include: The Hills’ Civil Rights Collection, documenting Betty and Barney Hill’s social justice and political activism and The Hills’ UFO Abduction Collection, preserving all primary materials related to their 1961 encounter.
She has conducted extensive research in both physical and digital archives and has engaged in investigative and experimental research across conventional and unconventional domains of UFO studies. Her guiding philosophy remains: “If we do not seek, we will not find.”
Kathleen Marden is the primary author or coauthor of several influential books in the field. Her international bestseller with nuclear physicist and scientific ufologist Stanton T. Friedman, MSc. (1934–2019) is Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience (2nd edition, 2021). They also coauthored Science Was Wrong (published in Chinese) and Fact, Fiction, and Flying Saucers. Her collaboration with Denise Stoner, The Alien Abduction Files, documents six intergenerational experiencer cases. Her fifth book, Extraterrestrial Contact: What to Do When You’ve Been Abducted, is both a comprehensive research volume and a practical self-help guide for experiencers (published in English and French). Her most recent book, Forbidden Knowledge: A Personal Journey from Alien Abduction to Spiritual Transformation, explores consciousness, contact, and personal transformation.
She has appeared as an on-camera expert in over 65 television and video productions, and on countless radio programs, podcasts, and documentaries worldwide. Kathleen Marden continues to lecture at conferences throughout the United States and internationally. Contact: www.kathleen-marden.com

Saturday Jan. 17th, 2026
Scott’s Live Presentation in Grand Rapids:
“The Cremona Document:
The Book of the Wars of the Lord, and the Yeshua Scroll.”
Meeting Re-Cap:
The attendance was exceptional, with a standing room-only crowd. Scott and Janet Wolter’s presentation exceeded our expectations.
Scott Wolter has garnered a global following due to his profound expertise in the forensic analysis of stone. His work has even contributed to the resolution of cases of interest to true crime enthusiasts. Notably, among the thousands of ancient documents he now possesses, there are accounts of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in the ancient world that were previously unknown.
Scott and his wife, Janet, have authored several books (listed below) that aim to unravel the mysteries of our ancient past and their contemporary implications. Perhaps the most renowned is his forensic analysis of the Kensington Rune Stone, which he has conclusively proven to be authentic. This analysis demonstrates the presence of individuals in North America long before Christopher Columbus’s arrival.
Scott Wolter has acquired 20 books written by Sinclair and Wemyss in Latin, Old English, and Modern English. These books chronicle their global journeys to discover the “Free Templar State” in North America. The books were composed between 1353 A.D. and 1770. Additional documents are anticipated for release this year, which will hold significant historical importance. We eagerly await their unveiling.
The Knights Templar treasure holds immense fascination for numerous individuals, particularly those who adhere to the Mystery of Oak Island. According to Scott, a portion of the treasure was indeed present. The treasure was interred in various locations, with Oak Island being one of them. To ascertain its ultimate destination, one must consult his books. His extensive knowledge was conveyed in a concise two-hour presentation, necessitating the purchase of his books, which many did.
