“One of the highlights of last year’s show was certainly the first-ever appearance of both George Noory and George Knapp at the same place at the same time at our conference,” said CITD Executive Producer Ron Janix. “These are the two most iconic broadcasters in America working towards Disclosure of the UAP/ET phenomenon. We’re thrilled they’ve decided to return once again to our stage this summer. Our attendees are in for a real treat!”
About GEORGE NOORY
George Noory, host of the nationally syndicated radio program, Coast to Coast AM, says if he weren’t a national radio talk show host, he’d be in politics. Heard by millions of listeners, Coast to Coast AM airs on approx. 564 stations in the U.S., Canada, Mexica and Guam. While hosting The Nighthawk, a wildly successful, late-night program on KTRS in St. Louis, Noory was recruited by Premiere Radio networks to guest host on Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell. He became the permanent host of the phenomenally successful over-night program on Jan. 1, 2003, following Bell’s retirement.
Since then, Noory’s audience has continued to grow. Noory captivates program listeners with his discussions of paranormal phenomena, time travel, alien abductions, conspiracies and all things curious and unexplained. He is driven, he has said, by the desire to solve the great mysteries of our time.
From his first days as a radio broadcaster, he says, “I’ve wanted to cover stories that the mainstream media never touch – the unusual, the paranormal, and things like that. I learned that broadcast was the best business for exploring these issues, and I’ve been doing it for 33 years.”
Noory dates his interest in these matters to a book by Walter Sullivan, “We Are Not Alone,” that his mother gave him when he was 13. He was hooked.
