William Norton

Ufologist and research investigator - William Norton spent his entire career in the Energy Industry in Ohio and Arizona. He holds an MBA and is a certified public manager. A native of Cleveland, Ohio and the surrounding suburbs, he then moved to Arizona in the early 2000s.

Growing up in Cleveland and then for a while in a suburb, out near Lake County, there were many events he and his family witnessed over the years, especially upon returning to Cleveland in the late 70s and living close to Lake Erie. His mother and uncle were very much interested in the subject, telling him stories of their experiences to the point where he wanted to learn more and read whatever magazines and books were available at that time. To this day, he still continues to expand his collection.

After moving to Arizona, he continued to have experiences and read about the constantly evolving subject. He joined the Mutual UFO Network, went through the MUFON Academy and became a certified Level 3, Field Investigator, S.T.A.R Team, Project MATCH member, and CAG (Case Assistance Group), who has investigated many cases; past and present events.

He has enjoyed having conversations with witnesses and RPs during case investigations, flushing out as much detail as possible and searching for supporting evidence and information. Networking with fellow investigators and enthusiasts alike. Going to symposiums, meeting the authors and listening to their knowledge.

During his entire career, William has been fascinated with UFO/UAPs, and cryptids, having done extensive research in these areas. As topics and tangents presented themselves, where better to look for answers than the internet and the experts, especially knowledgeable authors on the subject. This book is a culmination of his research, experiences and knowledge gained from that adventure.
