John B. Alexander, a retired United States Army colonel, spent a significant portion of his military career as an infantry officer, a role that laid the foundation for his later endeavors. However, he is perhaps most notable for his unwavering advocacy for the development and utilization of non-lethal weapons, as well as his exploration of the paranormal's potential applications in a military context.
Throughout his career, Alexander has demonstrated a keen interest in the realm of unidentified flying objects (UFOs),and has written and lectured extensively on the subject. His professional journey has been marked by a transformation, as he describes it, "from hard-core mercenary to thanatologist."
Alexander's work has garnered significant attention, and he plays a pivotal role in journalist Jon Ronson's book "The Men Who Stare At Goats." The book was later adapted into a Hollywood film, starring George Clooney, and released in 2009.
