Today’s scientists blend in a little bit better, backwards facing hats, cargo shorts and t-shirts.

We don’t laugh, we don’t make jokes, they talk and we listen and do everything in our power to supply the help they need,” reports Boris. ” Because, like them, we’ve been in there shoes. We face a constant stream of criticism from skeptics and even some religions. The networks that have decided to air shows based on the paranormal have opened a door into our world and have educated millions of people on topics that used to be considered taboo.”
