Steve White

MUFON Field Investigator, STAR Team Investigator, PR Director TN, State Director NC MUFON, Director of Professional Standards MUFON HQ

Steve White has been a police detective/ investigator for 30+ years, first in Miami, Florida and now Tennessee. He has been a MUFON Field Investigator for since 2007 in the East Tennessee area. Steve says he approaches UFO investigations with a skeptics view, to weed out the hoaxes or explained sightings. "I believe 99% of the cases are explainable or are hoaxes, done for publicity" Steve says. "But, that leaves the 1% of real cases. I would love to be the one who proves, scientifically without a doubt, that UFOs exist." Steve says as of now, he hasn't run across the concrete proof that he's looking for...at least not yet! He waits to capture a UFO and/or it's occupants, for all the world to see!
