Tom received his Ph.D. in Astronomy, specializing in celestial mechanics, from Yale University in 1969. He spent 20 years at the U.S. Naval Observatory, where he became the Chief of the Celestial Mechanics Branch. In 1991, Tom formed a Washington, DC-based organization, Meta Research, to foster research into ideas not otherwise supported solely because they conflict with mainstream theories in Astronomy. Tom is editor of the Meta Research Bulletin, which specializes in reporting anomalies and evidence that does not fit with standard theories in the field. The past few years, he has also been a Research Associate at the University of Maryland Physics Dept. in College Park, MD, and a consultant to the Army Research Lab in Adelphi, MD, working on improving the accuracy of the Global Positioning System.

North Atlantic Books is the publisher of Tom's 1993 book, "Dark Matter, Missing Planets and New Comets". A second edition was published in 1999. As with his research papers, the book is critical of many standard models in astronomy, such as the Oort Cloud, the Dirty Snowball, and the Big Bang theory. Tom also organizes the Eclipse Edge Expeditions to optimal solar eclipse viewing sites. During his career as a professional research astronomer, Tom has been honored by a prize from the Gravity Research Foundation; served on the Council of American Astronomical Society's Division on Dynamical Astronomy; taught astronomy at the University of South Florida and to Navy Department employees; been a consultant to NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab.

What would it mean to the UFO field if we could prove that faster-than-light communication and travel was possible after all? What would it mean to the UFO field if we had solid evidence that planets explode? What would it mean to the UFO field if evidence of intelligent activity predating modern humans was found on Mars? We can, we have, and it does! Catch the details at Dr. Tom Van Flandern’s colorful presentation. You will find it hard to believe the hard evidence you will see with your own eyes! www.metaresearch.org
