Doug Trumbull, Special Effects Guru and UFO Hunter

Doug Trumbull, Special Effects Guru and UFO Hunter

By Open Minds Production

Doug Trumbull is listed on IMDb as a "Legendary filmmaker and visual effects pioneer." Among others, he was a special effects supervisor for 2001: A Space Odyssey, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Star Trek: The Movie, and Blade Runner. All some of the biggest classics in science fiction movie history. However, what is less known is that Doug is also a UFO hunter. He has labeled his UFO hunting efforts the UFOTOG project (a meshing of the words UFO and photography). This has included a Hummer decked out with photographic equipment, and a short film about a man searching for UFOs. We talk to Doug about UFOs and special effects, and his UFOTOG project. We are also joined by MUFON chief photo analyst, Marc Dantonio, who has been assisting Trumbull with the UFOTOG project. You can read more about Trumbull at his website, www.DouglasTrumbull.com.
