User:A Different Sky

My name is Tony Eccles and I am the Curator of Ethnography (applied anthropology) at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery in Exeter. I've worked in the heritage sector for 17 years.

Outside work, I am a long-time researcher/investigator for the British UFO Research Association, an author of horror fiction with a passion for the Fortean.

My research interests include close encounter cases with its links to folklore and cultural shamanism. One of the research projects I am reinitiating will be Amnamnesis, originally designed and run by the late Ken Phillips (of BUFORA) and Dr. Alex Keul of Salzberg University.

I joined BUFORA in 1994 and was also a co-founder and co-ordinator of the Merseyside Anomalies Research Association in 1997. In 1993 I undertook BUFORA's ITC and became an Accredited Investigator the following year. I published a book in 2003 called A Different Sky which focused on the sightings I investigated over a 9 year period in the Merseyside area.
