      Jerome Clark is a prize-winning author of the multivolume UFO Encyclopedia (1990–1998) and other books, including Unexplained! Strange Sightings, Incredible Occurrences, and Puzzling Physical Phenomena (Visible Ink Press, 1998) and Unnatural Phenomena (2005). A former editor of Fate magazine, he serves on the board of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies and co-edits its magazine, International UFO Reporter. In June 2008 the Society for Scientific Exploration, an organization of professionals in the physical and social sciences, gave him its Dinsdale Award for “significant contributions to the expansion of human understanding through the study of unexplained phenomena … which have brought to the general public comprehensive and trustworthy information presented from a sophisticated perspective.”

      Clark is also a songwriter (Emmylou Harris, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Tom T. Hall, Seldom Scene, Mary Black, and others) and a prolific writer on roots music. He pursues a wide range of interests—political, historical, and literary—from his home in Minnesota.
