She holds a Bachelor’s degree in English and French from Rhode Island College (1967) and a Bachelor of Science from the University of Colorado (1980). Her Master’s Degree in Education is from Leslie College in Boston, Massachusetts (1992). She served as the Principal for The American Overseas School of Rome in 1994 -1995 and taught Ancient History, photo journalism and English there until she returned to the United States in 2007 to pursue her interests in investigative reporting in the field of unidentified phenomena research.
As a widely published, free-lance writer with a strong audience in Europe, Paola has studied unidentified aerial phenomena since 1979 and is on personal terms with leading researchers in the field. From 1980-1986 Dr. J. Allen Hynek entrusted her with his UFO investigations outside the United States. She has published interviews of many military witnesses concerning their experiences. In particular, in 1997, Ms. Harris interviewed Colonel Philip Corso in New Mexico and became his editor and confidante. She was instrumental in having his book, The Day After Roswell, for which she wrote the preface, translated into Italian. She also wrote the Italian Preface for Apollo14 Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell’s book The Way of the Explorer.
Paola returned to New Mexico in the summer of 2003 for the American debut of her book: Connecting the Dots; Making Sense of the UFO Phenomena (Authorhouse). Her second book, entitled: Exopolitics—All of the Above details possible conclusions to the UFO enigma. One of Paola’s most recently published book: Exopolitics–Stargate to a New Reality, contains 23 interviews with international expert witnesses. She just wrote a bestseller with Jacques Vallee on the 1945 San Antonio crash named Trinity. It has been translated into Italian and Spanish.
Other books by Ms. Harris have been translated into Japanese, Spanish and French, while her interview of Canadian former minister of defense Paul Hellyer has been translated into six languages and is available as a Google video.
Paola has lectured all through Europe about the importance of making Ufology a serious scientific study. Her non-profit association, Starworksusa, LLC, brings American speakers to Italy and promotes disclosure and international dialogue.
Today, Paola lives between Rome and Longmont, Colorado. Her current research focus is on events in Latin America. Her research trips to Columbia, Argentina, Chile and Peru are included in her regular column for X-Times Magazine in Rome.

Martin Willis
The subject of UFOs has fascinated Martin Willis since his youth, yet he was on the fence about the subject. He experienced a personal sighting in 2007 in Carmel Valley, CA, that solidified his beliefs that Unidentifiable Flying Objects really do exist. Since this time, Martin has paid attention to what others have to say about the phenomenon with some skepticism, yet an open mind. Pondering what UFOs may actually be, pushed his interest to another level. Martin thinks we may never find out what UFOs/UAP are, but it is the most important and exciting puzzle yet to solve.
Martin has an interest in astronomy, feels we are not alone and always maintained a strong scientific fascination of our vast universe. As a UFO enthusiast, Martin created Podcast UFO in November, 2011 with over 500 show interviews. Martin was the Keynote Speaker at the 2022 Pine Bush UFO Conference. Martin is a long time professional antiques and fine art appraiser. Martin is also producer of Podcast UFO and YouTube Channel, ‘Keep your eyes to the sky’
