Chris
Styles is a Canadian UFO researcher who has been seen on
such national programs as CTV's The
Dini Petty Show, CBC
News, and several episodes of Paramount Television's
program Sightings.
Chris has been an active UFO investigator of both classic
and current UFO incidents that have occurred in Atlantic
Canada. He is best known for his work on the Shag
Harbour Incident of October 4, 1967. His
work on the Shag
Harbour Incident has already had an impact
on the way that UFO crash/retrieval scenarios are viewed.
In 1994, Chris received a modest research grant from the
Washington-based group, the
Fund for UFO Research, which helped underwrite
the cost of an extensive document search that involved non-transferable
Canadian military documents held at Canadas National
Archives in Ottawa.
In
Spetember of 1995, Styles directed an underwater search
for physical evidence that may have remained on the seabed
of Shag Harbour. That effort was funded by Paramount Television
and resulted in several segments for their syndicated
show Sightings. He
has appeared in several US documentaries such as the 120-minute
A&E production UFOs II:
Have We Been Visited?
Chris
planned for a further expedition in an area known as "The
Rip" which is situated down current from the
last known surface position of the UFO. It lies beyond
the limits of previous search efforts. "The Rip"
contains a unique sonar target detection whose acoustic
signature has defied interpretation by leading geophysical
scientists.
Chris
did much of the on screen work and served as a technical
advisor in several Canadian UFO feature documentaries
such as Ocean Entertainments The
Shag Harbour Incident and Northern
Lights - The Canadian UFO Experience, a 2-hour
feature production of Roadhouse Films. His most recent
on-camera appearance was in the U.S. History Channels
60-minute feature documentary UFO
Files Canadas Roswell, which was
first broadcast in March, 2006.
Chris
Styles has a background in music,
special education and was once heavily involved
with armory work as it pertains to the sport of fencing.
He is currently employed as a
special aid for a disabled individual who is severely
affected by cerebral palsy. Chris serves as
MUFON's
Assistant Provincial Director for Nova Scotia.
In
2001, Chris co-authored Dark
Object with fellow UFO researcher Don
Ledger. He has published several speculative
papers on different aspects of UFO research and has presented
at various UFO symposia.
