Kathleen Marden’s insatiable interest in UFOs and ET contact began in 1961, when her aunt and uncle Betty and Barney Hill had a close encounter and UFO abduction in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. As a family member, Kathleen gained firsthand knowledge of Betty’s and Barney’s UFO encounter on the day they arrived home, and two days later, she, her parents, and siblings visited the Hill’s home. She has devoted years to painstaking investigation of the Hills' anomalous events and archival research on their UFO abduction case. As the trustee of Betty’s estate, she selected files from Betty’s historical collection for a permanent collection at the Milne Special Collections Library, UNH Library, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH. Her case study of the evidence is “Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience” (Updated in 2021). Since 1991 she has volunteered for the Mutual UFO Network in various positions such as Director of Field Investigator Training and Founder/Director of MUFON's Experiencer Resource Team. Over a ten-year period, Kathleen expanded her team from three members to forty-five trained, seasoned specialists and attracted PhD and MD psychological and research consultants. Additionally, she sat on the Edgar Mitchell Free Advisory Board. In this period, she worked on three studies on nearly 5,000 experiencers (Marden-Stoner, Edgar Mitchell FREE, MUFON ERT). Over time she altered her focus from investigation to compassion and advocacy for ET contact experiencers. She is a retired hypnosis practitioner specializing in ET contact and continues to cohost a monthly meeting for experiencers who embrace their relationship with positive nonhuman entities. She has appeared as an on-camera commentator on thirty-eight television and video productions. (See IMDb’s list at Kathleen Marden - IMDb/ ). Additionally, she has spoken on innumerable radio shows and podcasts and has lectured across the United States and to audiences in foreign countries. She has authored and coauthored numerous books and articles in UFO magazines and journals. Two of her books have been published in foreign languages. She is the recipient of two major awards for her years of dedicated work. For additional information see her website at www.kathleen-marden.com
