Marc D'Antonio has a degree in Astronomy and is the Mutual UFO Network’s (MUFON) Chief Photo/Video
Analyst, host of SkyTour Radio on KGRA, and host and creator of SkyTour LiveStream with Marc Dantonio on
YouTube where people can go to watch LIVE as beautiful deep sky objects materialize before their eyes in mere
seconds courtesy of the SkyTour LiveStream Remote Observatories and their research telescopes

Marc is the CEO of FX Models, a model making and visual/special effects company specializing in
digital/physical models, and organic special effects in the film industry.
He has an extensive work history in the Film and Television arena appearing regularly on a number of networks
and television series/shows.

Marc appears on a number of networks including ABC, CNN, Discovery, Sci-Fi,
History, National Geographic, and Science channels, performing on-camera work in his role as a professional
Astronomer, UFO investigator, scientific principle presenter, and photo/video analyst. In addition to such roles
he also creates visual effects props, directs visual effects shots, and creates computer generated imagery (CGI)
for productions.

He can be seen regularly on “NASA's Unexplained Files, on the Discovery Channel, “What On Earth, on the
Science Channel, “The Proof is Out There” on History Channel, “In Search Of” hosted by Zachary Quinto,
Contact, on Discovery, and a variety of other shows. He is characterized as the Voice of Science Reason yet fully
expects alien intelligence is out there and possibly even here visiting us at the Earth.

Besides his MUFON duties, Marc delivers many presentations around the world at
some of the largest conferences including several Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) Symposiums and
International UFO Congress conferences appearing as a speaker to discuss the science we DO know from a
scientific perspective. As such he is a voice of reason amidst what at times is chaos. He explains the real
prospects of finding extraterrestrial life in the Solar System and elsewhere.

If extraterrestrial intelligence has managed to ply the vast gulf between the stars and reach us, then science
should be able to tell us so. As such, he has teamed up with Hollywood icon Douglas Trumbull to hopefully find
answers with the creation of their Aerial Anomaly Detection System (formerly known as UFOTOG2). Such true
scientific results will back up the stories we so often hear from those who have encountered something strange ...
in our skies.

Marc has a book “The Populated Universe” available on Amazon worldwide. In the book he has taken his
Astronomy focus on Exoplanets and explores the scientific search for extraterrestrial life and makes the case for
what he believes is the predisposition of the Universe to the creation of the building blocks of life and perhaps
life itself.

Marc's degree is in Astronomy, and he has spent decades capturing hundreds of thousands of
images of many kinds of sky phenomena using a diverse range of photographic gear ranging from small cameras
and backyard telescopes to large multi-million-dollar professional telescopes in large research observatories. He
is a member of a STEM board at a prestigious science center in Connecticut that serves the needs of many New
England education facilities. STEM, which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math reflects the
need to place a clear focus on those disciplines and places an emphasis on how the disciplines interrelate in order
to provide advantage to children as well as adults.

Marc operates the John Zack Memorial Observatory in CT with its presence known on YouTube as “SkyTour
LiveStream With Marc Dantonio”. This observatory is nearly fully automated for online use and provides live
deep sky astronomy talks using advanced and highly sensitive cameras. The observatory will be joined by a
second in the Arizona desert in the near future under a beautiful dark sky after all automations systems are
installed, tested, and completed.

Once Computer Generated Imagery programs and image analysis programs became more readily available, he
began to work with such software to create his own imagery and to augment and analyze existing imagery. His
unique blend of stage performance experience, Astronomical, Extraterrestrial Life, and Computer-Generated
Model Making knowledge come together in his photo analysis work, where he has been utilizing advanced
software toolsets for many years to coax data out of imagery.

When he isn’t creating Digital or Physical Models for clients or productions with FX Models, he can usually be
found working on the Aerial Anomaly Detection System (UFOTOG2) concept, in his own observatory, or
utilizing remote observatories worldwide to obtain nightly photographic and spectral data for analysis.
