UFO Investigator Kenny Young Dead
02-Feb-2005
One of America's most skilled and important UFO
investigators, Kenny Young, has died of cancer at age 38.
Kenny has had the disease for some time, but requested that
Whitley Strieber, who followed his career closely, not
disclose his illness publicly. Kenny was a sober, careful
and skeptical UFO researcher, and Whitley believed him to be
among the very best of the younger generation, whose work is
characterized by a 'just the facts' approach that does not
attempt to fit findings to theories, but simply seeks to
prove what is real.
He was the webmaster of "UFO Research: Cincinnati," a State
Section Director for M.U.F.O.N. and a former public
relations director of Tri-State Advocates for Scientific
Knowledge. He served as a host, panelist and debater on
several TV programs. In addition to evaluating UFO and
related claims, conducting field investigations and
interviewing eyewitnesses and public officials, Young has
worked successfully to obtain secret UFO video recordings
held by the Department of Energy and has also obtained
numerous 9-1-1 audio tapes of police/UFO incidents. He was
the host and organizer of the 39th Annual 2003 National UFO
Conference.
His loss is tragic, especially when added to the long and
disquieting list of people interested in the UFO and
paranormal areas who have died of murder, accidents, and
strange cancers, or, as in Kenny's case, at an unusually
young age.
Subscribers can
listen to Whitley Strieber's riveting December, 2003
interview with Kenny Young, done after they both knew that
Kenny was seriously ill. Kenny Young is extremely frank in
this interview, as he knew at that time the probable outcome
of his illness.
Kenny's website is still up at
this time, and you can explore his work.
