My guest for this UFO Edition of Dead Hand Radio is Thomas Whitmore
Long time MUFON board member Tom Whitmore had been a San Antonio Texas resident since 1984. Originally from Tulsa, Tom graduated with a degree in business administration from Portland State University and had a career in the financial industry since the 1970’s. He was most recently employed as a financial analyst with a local firm in San Antonio where he retired in 2019. He is an accomplished guitarist and has a grown daughter.
Tom was invited to join the MUFON board in 1995 and experienced the organization’s progress through the successive administrations of Walt Andrus, John Schuessler, James Carrion, Clifford Clift, Dave MacDonald, Jan Harzan and again Dave MacDonald. He serves as Treasurer and focuses on long term and strategic issues for the organization.
Tom has been fascinated by military and intelligence agencies’ interactions with the UFO public. He has undertaken a research study of the history of the MJ12 controversy, and intends to eventually publish his findings. He participates in discussions on the MJ12 topic by giving presentations to local UFO groups, appearing on Internet Podcasts and Radio Shows, and by communicating in social media.
He is currently residing in the Washington DC area, in order to conduct documentary research at the National Archives and the Library of Congress. He recently published a paper titled “MJ-12, The Counterintelligence Angle” on his website.
