Val Valerian

Valdamar Valerian, also known as John Grace, was an American researcher focused on UFOs, alien interactions, and government cover-ups. Beginning in 1969, he investigated alien phenomena, observing UFO activity as a combat photographer in Southeast Asia (1970-71). After four years in England (1980-84), he released 'The Krll Papers,' leading to his 1987 book 'The Matrix.' He founded the Nevada Aerial Research Group (NAR), served as Nevada State Section Director for MUFON (1988-89), and interim Associate Director for UFO Contact Center International (1990). NAR's newsletter evolved into 'The Leading Edge' by 1990. In 1990, he published the 581-page 'Matrix II,' pioneering research on human abductions by military and alien factions, underground bases, and disinformation. Holding degrees in civil engineering and psychology, he contributed to Nippon Television's UFO investigations. In 1991, NAR relocated to Washington as Leading Edge Research Group.
