While researching his book, the Justin reached out to Marsha in an attempt to get detailed information on API case 12-001. The Witness in this case was the night manager at a hotel on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. On October 14, 2008, both he and the hotel night time security manager were outside talking when they saw a large Triangular UFO rise up from the Horseshoe Falls and silently glide over them.
The most unusual aspect of the case occurred in the early afternoon of May 10th 2009 when two men dressed in black came to the hotel looking for the Manager. Hotel Lobby Security cameras captured a short video snippet of these two men. This footage, made available during the original investigation, is perhaps the ONLY known case of genuine MIB captured on video.

Justin has written the most complete accounting of this case covering not only the original UFO sighting and the accounts supplied by the hotel employees who interacted with the men in black, but also in-depth information gathered directly from the Witness detailing a long series of unusual paranormal and anomalous experiences. And this fascinating story is but one in a book filled with unusual and provocative true, first-hand accounts of weirdness.
During this podcast, Marsha and the author discuss his book, The Spectrum, and examine a wide range of topics encompassing UFO’s, anomalies, and paranormal experiences.
Justin works in Marketing and Design and lives in the Philadelphia area. He writes a blog and maintains a website, Normal Paranormal.
