Michael Lindemann
Michael Lindemann is one of America's most active and well-known lecturers on
the subject of UFOs and human-alien contact.
Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1949, he studied political science and
psychology at Stanford University during the Vietnam era, developing a
lifelong interest in arms control, foreign affairs and government policy. He
finished his BA degree in psychology at Antioch University, followed by two
years of study at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. He later
combined his political and psychological interests as an educator, social
analyst and futurist. In 1989, he founded the 2020 Group, a private research
organisation studying forces that shape the future.
Since 1990, Michael Lindemann has earned national recognition for
contributions to the study of UFOs. He first examined the UFO controversy
from the angle of its possible connection to covert weapons development and
social policy. Finding substantial evidence in support of UFO claims, he
launched the Visitors Investigation Project to conduct and publish UFO
research.
In 1994, Michael Lindemann co-founded the Institute for the Study of Contact
with Non-human Intelligence (ISCNI, Inc.), the first on-line institute devoted
exclusively to studying claims of human contact with other intelligent life.
Launched on America On-line in December of 1994, ISCNI offers public lectures
and private classes with top researchers, plus library archives, bookstore,
news center and public discussion areas. ISCNI maintains a large web site at
http://www.iscni.com and publishes a twice-monthly on-line newsletter, the
ISCNI*Flash. Michael Lindemann currently serves as ISCNI's President and as
editor of the ISCNI*Flash.
Michael Lindemann consults to the entertainment industry, news media,
business community, independent researchers and private individuals on all
aspects of the UFO subject, as well as other issues impacting the present and
future conditions of human society. A dynamic public speaker, he has offered
lectures and seminars in every part of the United States and is a frequent
guest on radio (Art Bell, Hieronimus and Co., etc.) and television (Sightings,
Encounters, The Other Side, Paranormal Borderline, etc.).
