High Strangeness in Halifax - Retro UFO 3 clip

A clip from yours truly at Retro UF0 3, which was held in April 2008 at the Integratron in Landers, California. Here I recount the story of a UFO case investigated by the RCMP and later Canadian researcher Chris Styles that took place in Bedford, Nova Scotia.

Paul Kimball's Bio

After winning multiple scholarships and awards - including the University Medal in History at both Acadia University and the University of Dundee, and the CLB Award at Dalhousie Law School - Paul graduated from Acadia in 1989 with an Honours Degree in History and Political Science, and in 1992 from Dalhousie with an LL.B. A former Program Administrator at the Nova Scotia Film Development Corporation, and consultant for Salter Street Films and several provincial governments, Paul founded the Halifax-based production company Redstar Films Limited in 1999.

Since 2001, Paul has also established a reputation as one of Canada’s leading UFO and paranormal researchers, both through his work as an award-winning documentary filmmaker (2005 EBE Awards for Best UFO Film and Best Historical Documentary for Aztec: 1948, 2007 EBE award for Best Historical Documentary for Best Evidence; nominated for a total of seven other EBEs from 2005 to 2007), and as a researcher, writer, and speaker. He has appeared on television, radio (Coast to Coast, CBC Morningside, Binnall of America, Strange Days Indeed, The Paracast) and in person at conferences and symposiums in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, to discuss the UFO phenomenon and the paranormal.

Paul’s work extends beyond documentaries, however. In 2007 he founded Semaphore Theatre Company, which produced the critically-acclaimed sci-fi play “Doing Time” in November, 2007. The play was directed by Paul, and he co-wrote it with Mac Tonnies. In 2008, Paul directs Eternal Kiss, a feature film for which he also wrote the original screenplay.

Paul is a member of the Nova Scotia Barristers Society and the Society of Composers Authors and Publishers. He is a past President of the Nova Scotia Film and Television Producers Association, and a former member of the Nova Scotia Film Advisory Committee. He is currently a Board Member of the Motion Picture Industry Association of Nova Scotia.

Reviews

Canada's wittiest UFO-logical commentator has his finger on every extraterrestrial pulse. To his credit, Paul has a writing style that never flags and that always entertains. You may not like or agree with all that he says, however. But, hell, Paul doesn't care, and rightly so.
- Nick Redfern, author, Three Men Seeking Monsters

The Other Side of Truth is a rarity -- a blog written with the sensibility of a scholar and a refreshing eye for humor. And it's about UFOs of all things, a subject that's typically bereft of both. Bookmark this one and read often!
- Mac Tonnies, author, After the Martian Apocalypse

What Paul is concerned with is convincing the scientific establishment and the skeptical segment of the public that some UFOs are not imaginary or a byproduct of misidentifications of natural or man-made objects. To his credit, he is attempting one of the toughest jobs in the field. He is out for the big fish, while many are content with the daily catch.
- Greg Bishop, author, Project Beta

I have really enjoyed reading your blog postings. Obviously, law school was not wasted on you.
- the late Karl Pflock, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense / author

We need somebody like Paul Kimball. TV companies make documentaries on ufology because it's an interesting subject, but it's not a subject they love. When the camera is finally turned off and they walk away, that's it - they move on to the next thing. Paul Kimball doesn't do that. Above all else, I think that what Paul does is that he gets at the real people, the real characters within ufology, and gives them a platform that they might not get elsewhere."
- Stuart Miller, publisher, Alien Worlds Magazine

While I remain unconvinced of extraterrestrial visitation, there is no denying the intellectual heft of your views and approach. You introduced me to a community of serious thought that should not be taken lightly... To sum up, your work has sharpened my skepticism, in the best possible sense. Work like yours reclaims ufology as a serious inquiry, which I frankly hadn't realized was possible.
- Chris Johnson, Center for Inquiry

Paul Kimball is the most important rising star, in my opinion, in the UFO field. And he seems to be one of the few who has sane views, has a good sense of humor, and I think he will make a permanent mark on the field... May the Space People bless him!
- James W. Moseley, Editor / Supreme Commander, Saucer Smear

You'll either find yourself frustrated as all hell with him,or agreeing with him, but either way you're going to be very interested in what he has to say.
- Tim Binnall, Binnall of America

Canadian director/producer Paul Kimball is a man who knows ufology. While he may not be a favourite with many notables in the UFO research community - due to his tendency to state what he thinks of various theories, cases and personalities quite openly - he does know the history behind the topic very well, and brings a natural skepticism as well (without being a debunking zealot). Indeed, one could hardly think of a better person to produce a definitive documentary about the best UFO sightings to this point.
