William J. Konkolesky joined the Michigan Chapter of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) more than 25 years ago and has served as director since 2004. MUFON is the world’s oldest and largest civilian UFO investigation and research organization with volunteers in 43 countries and all 50 states. This non-profit, charitable corporation defines its mission as “the scientific study of UFOs for the benefit of humanity.”

   

Konkolesky lectures at conferences and libraries, virtual presentations, and other events associated with the UFO phenomenon. Our first contact was in the summer of 2019 at Plainwell’s Ransom District Library during his UFOs Over Michigan presentation. Konkolesky worked out a long mathematical equation resulting in a sum of 100 sextillion possible habitable places in the universe suitable to support life. The presentation covered the 1966 sighting over southeast Michigan and 1994 sighting over Grand Rapids, both with hundreds of eyewitnesses, including police and radar confirmation. Other presentations feature New UFO Cases, UFO Abductions, and High Strangeness UFO Cases.

Not limited to those events and venues, Konkolesky has either consulted for or appeared on The History Channel, Discovery, Syfy, and Science channels, ABC, and National Geographic. Author of two books and writing for magazines and websites, Konkolesky was one of the most fascinating guests interviewed on our WKTV Podcast. We featured his books, “Experiencer: Raised in Two Worlds” and “Experiencer 2: Two Worlds Collide” on Grand Rapids Ghost Hunters Paranormal Podcast episodes #10 and #35. These books are true story autobiographies of personal abduction experiences starting at age two in the first book and picking it up at age 19 in the second book.

 

We had intuitive Astrologist Laura Briggs guest host on our last podcast with Konkolesky, where she offered insights suggesting that in the next couple years there will be indisputable evidence of alien existence. On Konkolesky’s Facebook, he quotes The Washington Post: “UFOs exist and everyone needs to adjust to that fact.” Scientists have concluded life on other planets is statistically inevitable and imminent.

In other words, if aliens are not already here, they soon will be. If you ask Konkolesky, they have been visiting Earth and interacting with us for several years.
