STATE DIRECTOR OF INDIANA MUFON, JAMES WOLFORD
ASSISTANT STATE DIRECTOR OF INDIANA MUFON JOHN STREET.
CHIEF INVESTIGATOR OF INDIANA MUFON, DARRELL COLLINS.
James Wolford was born in Middletown, Ohio on October 1, 1952. He studied physics at Miami University from 1971 to 1975 graduating with a BS. Later he studied electrical engineering at the Ohio State University graduating with an MSEE specializing in RF Engineering. From 1978 to 1988 he designed TV tuners and remote-control circuitry for RCA Consumer Electronics. At Zenith Electronics Corporation in Chicago, he designed digital TV tuners that were for the first time compatible with high-definition TV (HDTV) signals. During the mid-1990’s Mr. Wolford became interested in the UFO phenomenon and reviewed many books, videos and first-run movies involving this subject. Since about 1968 he has been an amateur astronomer and amateur radio hobbyist. In 2011 he joined MUFON International and became a certified field investigator working for State Director Sam Maranto in the Illinois local chapter of the organization. In 2018 Mr. Wolford moved to Indianapolis, Indiana and started working for State Director Jeremy Efroymson eventually becoming Chief Investigator. When Mr. Efroymson resigned in January of 2021, Wolford was tapped to become the next Indiana State Director. Since starting his duties Mr. Wolford has attempted to align case dispositions with realistic expectations for the percentage of Unknowns and has requested that witness narratives, as much as possible, be backed up with physical and photographic evidence. Much older cases often had Unknown percentages over 70% but this probably should have been 35% or less. Currently Indiana MUFON is doing the sighting portion of many experiencer/abductee cases while the Experiencer Resource Team (ERT) is handling the personal and sensitive part of these events.
