Earl Grey Anderson

Ufologist, Mensch And So Much More!

By: C.J. Arabia

If you are involved in the world of UFOs you most likely know the name Earl Grey
Anderson. Earl is a devoted MUFON member who became a Field Investigator in 2015.
He quickly rose through the ranks and was soon promoted to the position of State
Director of Southern California. Earl has personally closed over 1,000 ufo reports for
MUFON, and as a member of MUFON’s Experiencer Resource Team is devoted to
helping experiencers get the support they so desperately need. Earl is a true Ufologist.
Earl was a guest on Ancient Aliens and is a member of the Board of Directors of the
Hollywood Disclosure Alliance. He’s a podcaster and frequent guest on podcasts as
well. Earl also happens to be one of the nicest people you will ever have the good
fortune of meeting in the world of Ufology. Earl brings people together and once you’ve
heard Earl’s laugh, you’ll never forget it.
I met Earl when I reported a childhood UFO sighting to MUFON. He was a tremendous
support and encouraged me to become a Field Investigator. Earl felt my personal UFO
experiences would make me an asset to others and encouraged me to join the MUFON
Experiencer Resource Team for which I am forever grateful. As my MUFON State
Director and ERT Mentor, Earl assigns me cases and I get to discuss these cases with
him. We speak just about every day. If you spend any length of time with Earl he will
talk about his mom, UFOs, his wonderful wife Lisa, his amazing and talented children
and of course music. He’s not just a mentor in the world of high strangeness and
UFOs, Earl has become a mentor to me for all things life related. That’s because he’s
the kind of human being most of us aspire to be when we grow up. He is the gentle,
caring, calm in the eye of the storm of UFO disclosure, discourse and personal beefs.
Earl forces me to not only be a better investigator, but a better person as well.
One of the best tools Earl has given me as an investigator is the “maybe basket.” We
work in a world of high strangeness. We are constantly in the classroom of this
phenomenon and sometimes it’s hard to accept new layers to this reality when they
present themselves. When weird happens Earl always says, “Let’s just put it in the
maybe basket for now” because you just never know… Maybe…
Earl is an inspiration to so many people in the UFO industry and a few of Earl’s friends
and colleagues would like to share their love, thoughts and support for Earl as well.

One of the nicest people on this planet…one of the finest representatives of the human
race…
— Jeff Stein

Earl is someone who Marilyn and I consider a special friend. We know we can depend
on him to cheer us up no matter what is going on in his life. We know he respects and
treats all who know him as a close friend. He is a rare friend and one we sincerely love.
— Bob and Marilyn Salas

Earl is a good friend not only of mine, but of the truth. He has been fighting to get to the
bottom of one the most important questions of all time. His insatiable curiosity combined
with street and star smarts have made him one of the leaders of UFOlogy. Combine that
with his artistic flair and his ever present laugh, and Earl is someone you just want to be
around to learn from and smile with. Would that we all had a bit more Earl in us.
— Paul Hynek

Earl,
You are a prince of a man. Noble, kind, friendly, always positive.
Your contributions to the UAP research and Disclosure work are great and
greatly appreciated.
You helped found the Hollywood Disclosure Alliance for which I am in your debt.
I want you to be here for world confirmation of the ET presence.
With great respect,
— Steve Bassett, Executive Director Paradigm Research Group

Dear Earl,
I want you to know that you are truly a gem in the field of Ufology. The synchronicity we
shared up on that panel feels profound, as if it goes beyond simple chance. There is so
much important work ahead of us, with many connections yet to discover and insights to
be gained. Your strength and kindness shines outward for the world to see, and I want
you to remember that you have the love and support of countless people around you
every day.
— Katie Paige

It is rare to find a soul as bright, kind, and deeply beloved as you, Earl. As a ufologist,
you chase the unknown not out of fear, but out of a yearning to connect. And in that
quest, you do something even more extraordinary: you bring people together.

You are my dear friend, Earl, my Space Brother. For all of us who are lucky enough to
call you friend, you are a grounding force and a guiding light. You listen without
judgment, speak with compassion, and offer your presence generously. And your
beautiful Lisa, your brilliant companion star, shines just as brightly, honoring the zany
moments you bring into your lives.
Your kindness is woven into every life you’ve touched, and your impact is
immeasurable.
I love you my Space Brother. Thank you for your endless support and never-ending
love.
You are an important part of my life. I love hearing you call me your Space Sister.
You are cherished, Earl. And you are, forever, a star among stars.
Love,
— Sev Tok

I think the world and all of Earl! I have known him for years and he is truly an inspiration.
He has an amazing history and background and is a wonderful asset to MUFON. We
can’t wait for him to get back on his feet and all of MUFON is cheering for him.
— David Macdonald, Executive Director of MUFON

The first time I met Earl, I felt like I had known him my entire life. It is a friendship at
warp speed. One of the most energetic people I know. He never met anyone whom he
did not consider to be a friend. When God gave out bad bones, Earl didn’t get one: kind,
compassionate, and caring. That’s the Earl I know.
Also, he never met a microphone he didn’t like.
— Doc Medich, Director of MUFON Experiencer Resource Team

I first met Earl at AlienCon 2023, he was at the MUFON booth. I gave him a copy of my
then brand new book After They Came. I never heard of him; he’d never heard of me. I
said to him that day, “Earl, you don’t know this yet, but you and I are going to become
fast friends!” And we did! Earl invited me a few weeks later to speak to his So Cal
Chapter MUFON group, and we bonded afterwards over beers at a nearby Mexican
restaurant. I’ve since had dozens of wonderful encounters with Earl and his lovely wife,
Lisa, at MUFON, HDA, and Contact in the Desert-related events, parties, panels and

film screenings. Shortly after we met, I began calling Earl, “Earl, My Brother,” to which
he would reply, “Hey, Brother Dan!”
In short, Earl is one of the sweetest, kindest, warmest men I’ve ever known. He has long
been an invaluable asset to the UAP/ET community, both locally here in So Cal and on
a national level as well. Additionally, he happens to also be incredibly great friend! He
and my daughter, Anjuli, also bonded because they both have OTIS College of Design
in common.
I simply love the guy. Everyone he knows absolutely loves him!”
— Dan Harary, Chairman, Hollywood Disclosure Alliance

Not only is Earl “Grey” Anderson one of the foremost authorities on the UFO
phenomenon, he is also one of the nicest, sweetest and most caring people you will
ever come across. We instantly became good friends from the very first time I spoke to
him. He’s been my mentor in the UFO world and a close friend whom I respect deeply.
—- Gino Meregillano – State Chief Investigator for Southern California MUFON

I met Earl Gray Anderson at the Ancient Aliens AlienCon in Pasadena approximately ten
years ago. Over lunch he informed me of his personal experiences with nonhuman
intelligence and his mother’s history as an employee of Howard Hughes.
I, as Director of MUFON’s Experiencer Resource Team (2011-2021), immediately
recognized Earl as a kind, compassionate soul who would be an asset to MUFON’s
ERT. He accepted my invitation and has become an exceptional member of our team as
natural leader who learns quickly. Over several years, he became a walking
encyclopedia of knowledge, on ET contact phenomena, and assisted countless UFO
abduction experiencers.
I am grateful because Earl has become an important person in my life as a colleague
and friend. Please send him healing thoughts.
— Kathleen Marden

What can one say about a man who wears his heart on his sleeve? A man who cares
deeply for every living thing. He is a good listener, has enormous compassion for every
human, gives himself freely to help others, and more. The word No doesn’t exist in his
vocabulary when it comes to volunteering where someone is needed to benefit a
cause. He is a gifted nurse and with a soothing voice aids in comforting those in
distress and pain. He teaches workshops for those who need a place to share their
concerns and fears about certain events in their lives. There is so much more including

the way he speaks out loud of his fondness for his wife. Earl emanates what
unconditional caring, giving, and love looks like. Thank you Earl for showing us what a
wonderful soul you are.
— Denise Stoner

Earl is a special person. It’s like love pours out of him. From the very first
communications I’ve had with Earl, our friendship grew quickly, both of us signing off
emails and notes with “love you” like we’ve always known each other. But of course, we
have. And Earl brings everyone together, finding common ground, bridging disparate
points of view. He has been incredibly supportive of my writing (of which I am grateful)
and to others as well. Listening now to “Arriving UFO” by Yes, thinking of you, Earl.
Love you, brother.
— Mike Fiorito

On behalf of KGRA Digital Broadcasting, i send my love and prayers to Earl and his
family. Like Earl always tells me when we worked together on MUFON Contact Radio,
“Buckle Up Buttercup” …. he will battle this illness with everything he’s got and get
through this! I cannot wait to hear his voice and work with him again in the future…Earl
you know how much i love and respect you!
— Bill Skywatcher, KGRA Digital Broadcasting

Earl—like so many others (you have touched so many!) I have been thinking of and
praying for you since I heard the news. The warmth you have shown me over the past
few years continues to echo in my heart. I know that I am not alone in that sentiment. I
have yet to meet anyone who doesn’t describe you the same way: the warmth, the
wisdom, the wit. And, as you have given, so we give back to you now, lifting you up to
powers beyond ourselves that we all know are out there, powers with the ability to
comfort, calm, and, most importantly, heal. You are deeply loved, both by us down here
and whatever is out there. And you, yourself, are strong and resilient. Together, those
factors are unstoppable. Though we are spatially distant, I hold you close in the coming
months until the moment we meet. Best always,
— Joshua Cutchin

Earl came into our life as a lightworker. The minute he walked into the studio to shoot
his story the place lit up. We became fast friends. Since we met Earl we have texted
and spoke on the phone regularly. When he attends gatherings he radiates love to
everyone. His skills with human connection are extraordinary. We appreciate his

laughter, his light, and his many stories. Steve and I send love and light and anxiously
look forward to seeing him again.
— Steve Neill and Mary Cacciapaglia

Dear Earl
CERO and I continue to send you our loving prayers and healing energy for a
complete recovery! We all need you.� �
— Yvonne Smith, CERO Close Encounter Resource Organization

Buckle up, Buttercup!
Ad Astra!
