Michaels Bio:
Michael Schratt (private pilot/military aerospace historian) has lectured across the country on the unique subject of “Mystery Aircraft”, and classified propulsion systems buried deep within the military industrial complex. A guest speaker at the “OSHKOSH” AirVenture 2006/2007 event, (world’s largest air show), Michael has developed a number of contacts which have had first hand experience dealing classified “black programs”, including former USAF pilots, retired Naval personnel, and aerospace engineers that have maintained a TOP SECRET SCI (Sensitive Compartmented Information) clearance. In an effort to expose government fraud, waste and abuse, Michael devotes much of his free time researching aerospace technical documents, conducting interviews, and travelling to multiple University archives. As a concerned citizen, it’s his belief that it is our Constitutional obligation to question authority, and demand an accounting of special access programs that bypass congressional oversight and public scrutiny.
Meeting Re-Cap
December 21, 2024, saw Northland MUFON host Michael Schratt for its 1-year anniversary. Michael describes himself as an Aviation Historian and this background served him well for his stunning presentation on Leonard H. Stringfield!
To begin, “aviation historian” alone does not do Michael justice. His knowledge of the topics of aviation and UFOlogy is beyond reproach! His presentation style is very succinct, informative and entertaining.
Born in 1920, Leonard H. Stringfield was director of Civilian Research, Interplanetary Flying Objects (CRIFO), and published a monthly newsletter, ORBIT. In 1957 he became public relations adviser for the civilian UFO group NICAP under the direction of Donald Keyhoe, a friend of his since 1953. From 1967-1969, Stringfield served as an “Early Warning Coordinator” for the Condon Committee. During the 1970s, he wrote a number of books about alleged recoveries of alien spaceships and alien bodies. In 1978, Stringfield served as UFO research adviser to Grenada Prime Minister Sir Eric Gairy. He authored and co-authored more than 15 books on the subject of UFOs, disclosure and crash retrieval.
Michael Schratt began his presentation by referencing Stringfield’s book, “UFO Crash Retrievals – Complete Investigation Status Reports”. This is an extensive collection of data from hundreds of crash retrievals including debris and bodies. Because this book has no illustrations, Michael enlisted the help of 2 artist/illustrators to provide visual references in his presentation. Another book that was helpful in putting the data together was “MAJIC – Eyes Only” by Ryan S. Wood. Those in attendance at this fascinating meeting likely heard about crashes never before published. According to Daniel Sheehan, a constitutional and public interest lawyer who has also been instrumental in gaining more transparency for the UFO community, the case files listed in “Project Blue Book” are only part of the story. It seems that is true based on the compilation of Leonard Stringfield’s data – there are many, many cases we’ve never heard of.
Even more interesting is the fact that we KNOW there are films, photographs, bodies, maps and pieces of debris that are stored somewhere. Michael and his team of investigators are in the process of researching and finding the real evidence that is still in existence but it’s a huge, painstaking process. Where are the Top Secret files? Likely 3 main locations: Wright-Patterson AFB, NSA headquarters in Maryland, and CIA headquarters in McLean, VA. The crash debris and bodies are likely held in several warehouses (think the warehouse scene at the end of “Raiders of the Lost Ark”) at McDill AFB, Seymour Johnson AFB, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Walter Reed Medical Center, and CIA headquarters.
This was such a fascinating review of relatively unknown UFO events and data, it was a shame that more people weren’t able to attend. As always, the video will be posted on the Northland MUFON YouTube page in the coming weeks.

Scott Wolter
January 11, 2025
Minnesota MUFON is excited to have Scott present “The Secrets of the Lost Book of the Wars of the Lord Revealed”.
join us via Zoom!
Bio:
Scott Wolter, renowned host of History Channel’s “America Unearthed” and most recently Gaia’s “Mysteries of the Knights Templar,” embarked on a quest into hidden history when the enigmatic Kensington Rune Stone appeared in his Minnesota lab in 2000. His journey spans continents, aiming to authenticate the stone and unveil the Templars’ role in America’s founding, a mission that began in 1362 and was completed by our Masonic Founding Fathers in 1776. Raised as a Master Mason in 2015, Wolter swiftly ascended to the ranks of the Scottish Rite and York Rite, achieving the esteemed 32nd degree, and was knighted as a Templar Knight in Commandery Zion No. 2. As an author of four seminal works including “The Hooked X,” “Akhenaten to the Founding Fathers,” “Cryptic Code of the Templar in America,” and “Oak Island, the Knights Templar, and the Holy Grail,” Wolter uncovers the Templars’ mission to establish a New Jerusalem in the West. His groundbreaking research, chronicled in his earlier book “The Kensington Rune Stone: Compelling New Evidence,” continues to amaze readers with the in-depth detail provided on the scientific work performed on the artifact to prove its authenticity. Wolter, based in Minneapolis, balances his roles as a Professional Geologist at American Petrographic Services with his relentless pursuit of historical truths.

Katie Paige
Saturday February 15th!
2:00pm-4:30pm Grand Rapids, MN and Fargo, ND
February 15th Katie Page’s presentation:
Rocky Mountain Ranch
UFO Sightings, Government Cover-Ups…or both?
Katie will be with us via Zoom. To join the meeting live Click Here.
Katie Page Bio:
Join Katie as she shares her latest discoveries concerning the Rocky Mountain Ranch and surrounding areas. We will be discussing the possibility of deep CIA coverups, MKUltra LSD mind control programs, sonic and ultrasonic frequency non-lethal military warfare, as well as “talking” laser plasma balls and much more. Are the phenomena experienced UFO/paranormal related or is it all a ruse intended to distract from the nefarious activities conducted there, or both?
The R.M. Ranch was investigated by A.P.R.O., Linda Moulton Howe, and others in the 1970s but the activity continues to this day! It is the location of the biggest remote viewing project ever conducted, (even by the CIA and DIA) recently led by Dr. David Morehouse. Some of the activities experienced on the ranch include hundreds of animal mutilations, menacing copters, military jets scrambled in pursuit of unidentified “craft”, mysterious lights, unusual humming sounds, two types of ETs (in conflict with each other), strange circles on the ground where nothing grows, baffling disappearing boxes, disembodied “electrical” voices, and Sasquatch and other cryptid encounters.
The newspaper headlines dubbed the ranch the “Close Encounter Capital of the US”. R.M.R. has been written about in several books, including Hunt for The Skinwalker by Colm A. Kelleher Ph.D. & George Knapp, Alien Contact: Top-Secret UFO Files Revealed by Timothy Good, and many others. It has been featured on History Channels Beyond Skinwalker, George Norry’s Beyond Belief, UFO Witness, Small Town Monsters, and others.
