Earl Grey Anderson
Earl Grey Anderson, a beloved, longtime leader of Southern California’s UFO Community, MUFON’s State Director of Southern California, a MUFON STAR Team member, and an executive committee member of MUFON’s ERT: The Experiencer Resource Team, passed away peacefully on April 27, 2025.
In his work with MUFON, Earl closed a plethora of High Strangeness cases, one of which was presented as one of MUFON’s “Cases of the Year” at the 2021 MUFON Symposium. Earl also hosted the Experiencer Workshops for MUFON’s 2022 Denver Symposium and for the 2023 MUFON Symposium, in Cincinnati Ohio. He appeared on dozens of TV shows and documentary films, including the popular TV series Ancient Aliens, discussing the UFO Phenomenon. He was also a Guest Speaker at several Contact in the Desert UFO events.
Earl, himself an ET Experiencer, long felt that the Experiencer Phenomenon was the beating heart of Ufology. “If we wish to understand this phenomenon,” he often said, “we need to listen to those who have had face-to-face encounters.”
Multi-talented, Earl was also a noted Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist and a Licensed Nurse. He studied at Moorpark College and taught a class on UFOlogy at the Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles. Additionally, Earl was also a Founding Member of the Board of Directors of The Hollywood Disclosure Alliance.
