Investigator | Researcher | Expert on Strange Phenomena and Forbidden Archaeology

About

James Keenan is an investigative researcher with decades of firsthand field experience studying strange phenomena, forbidden archaeology, and anomalous locations. He has investigated sites and cases that span UAP activity, poltergeist phenomena, cryptoterrestrials, and the physical evidence of non-human presence on Earth. His approach is grounded, methodical, and free of the theoretical overlay that often clouds research in this field — Keenan goes to the sites, interviews the witnesses, and lets the evidence lead. At CITD 2026, he is presenting both a workshop on his fieldwork and a lecture on the ongoing strangeness that characterizes high-activity zones.
