Don Ecker is a writer/researcher/commentator currently living in the Los Angeles area. Serving as the former Director of Research and Media Liaison for UFO Magazine for 20 years, Ecker is an internationally renowned investigator of the UFO phenomenon. A former law enforcement officer and criminal investigator with over 10 years-experience, he brought legitimacy to a field that has for years suffered being painted with a fringe brush. He has written numerous articles for the definitive UFO publication, UFO Magazine, as well as articles for international publications, the United Kingdom's Fortean Times, Omni, the Compuserve System, and the ParaNet Computer Data Base.

Ecker hosted his own weekly national radio talk show, "UFOs Tonite!," on Cable Radio Network for five years, and most recently "STRANGE DAZE" 5 nights a week on the Liberty Works Radio Network. Starting in January, 2004 Ecker and his good friend Dwight Schultz began a new national radio program called DARK MATTERS. Today Dark Matters Radio airs on the Cameo/CyberstationUSA Network. Ecker has been a guest on well over a thousand radio talk shows around the country.

He has recently completed a novel titled Past Sins that is published by Gateway Publishing. The novel is currently under consideration by a major production house for a movie or television series. More can be learned at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Past-Sins-Don-Ecker/dp/0975264508
