Byron Belitsos is the publisher, editor, or co-author of numerous books dealing with Extraterrestrial Contact and the mysterious Urantia Book that offers a big picture perspective of life in the universe. In the early 2000’s, Belitsos became fascinated with the extraterrestrial contact story of Phillip Krapf, a Pulitzer Prize-winning editor with the Los Angeles Times. Krapf wrote two books about his contacts with a group of enigmatic extraterrestrials called the Verdants and how they were interacting with up to 1000 high-level public officials to bring about worldwide disclosure. The diplomatic effort failed due to the September 11 attacks in 2000, which led to the Verdants abandoning humanity to its own fate. Belitsos re-published Krapf’s books including his final book about an enigmatic extraterrestrial/angel associated with the Verdants called Paul. Belitsos has also been a keen student for over forty years of the Urantia Book, which was first published in 1955 based on a committee of scholars investigating the primary source that channeled the corpus of papers that make up the Urantia material. Belitsos has written or edited two books on the Urantia Book, which he asserts contains extraordinary revelatory material that exceeds both the New and Old Testaments in scope and significance. In his first Exopolitics Today interview, Belitsos discusses his academic background and early interest in the Urantia Book, along with his investigation of Krapf’s claims of extraterrestrial contact, and his decision to republish Krapf’s books.
