Chuck Zukowski

Chuck Zukowski is an American UFO investigator and certified MUFON field investigator, formerly a MUFON State Section Director and sworn Deputy Sheriff in El Paso County, Colorado. For over 30 years, he has researched UFO sightings, cattle mutilations, and paranormal phenomena along the 37th parallel, from California to Colorado, including sites like Area 51, Sedona, and Roswell. He approaches cases analytically, ruling out human explanations first. Zukowski mapped mutilation and UFO sites, revealing a pattern near 37 degrees north latitude, inspiring Ben Mezrich's 2016 New York Times bestseller 'The 37th Parallel: The Secret Truth Behind America's UFO Highway,' optioned for film. In 2019, he hosted Travel Channel's 'Alien Highway' with his son Daniel and investigator Heather Taddy. He runs UFOnut.com and freelances as a microchip designer, continuing investigations despite 2011 firing from sheriff duties over conflicts.
