James Fox

James Fox is a filmmaker whose work keeps returning to the field's hardest cases. November 12, 2007. He hosted a panel at the National Press Club in Washington, where the Peruvian pilot Santa María told his story of La Joya. His 2020 film The Phenomenon brought the Ariel School encounter at Ruwa back into view. His 2024 documentary The Program called the Calvine photograph the most compelling photographic case in UFO history. He also counts Westall among the cases that still remain confounding.
