John was born in Albuquerque, NM USA in 1976. He traveled to Maine when he was four and currently resides there. He attended the University of Maine where he studied German Literature, Economics and Physics. Upon graduating with a foreign language degree, he entered the United States Navy as an Ensign and served aboard the aircraft carriers USS Enterprise and USS Nimitz. He attained the rank of Lieutenant during his tenure as an aviator and then as an unrestricted line officer in Naval Intelligence. As an aviator, most of his relevant experience comes from when he piloted numerous military aircraft in Roswell, NM (formerly Roswell AFB) on detachment, and when he trained to fly military helicopters in the southeastern United States. Most of his interest in alien life forms, real-life vampire encounters, the influence of the mysterious group known as the Illuminati on world events, and the existence of Area 51 comes from his meticulous study of the paranormal over the course of his lifetime. He has had three unconfirmed UFO sightings in 1995, 2005 and 2006 and one confirmed UFO sighting in September 1997. John plans to attend ERAU to pursue an aerospace engineering degree in 2008, while putting his efforts into building a strong community of those who have witnessed paranormal activity and wish to record their first-hand accounts.
Chris was born in 1980. At the age of 22, he enlisted in the United States Army (Infantry) and fought in Iraq as part of Operation of Iraqi Freedom and the Global War on Terror. He recently received a certificate in a military computer program and holds several other certificates and qualifications from the Army. He is currently working on a degree in history with a minor in political science. Chris has held many different jobs in his life ranging from the army to digging graves. When asked about his time in Iraq, Chris says, "It was the best time of my life. My platoon was a family and we were able to see so many things that the average person can only hope to see in their life. It was like being in a movie, until bullets and IED's started aiming for you." After Iraq, Chris was transferred from the infantry to military intelligence at the brigade level. He has enjoyed the change of pace and has welcomed the intricate details required for his current job. When it comes to the paranormal, Chris keeps an open mind. He states, "I'm not really sure if certain things exist, but there are things that go beyond normal explanation. I'd like to think we aren't alone in the universe or that the spirits of loved ones who have passed on are still around giving us a helping hand from time to time." He is deeply committed to the mission of Paranormal 51 and to building awareness of the escalating accounts of paranormal events.
