Frank C. Feschino, Jr.Author-Illustrator Frank C. Feschino, Jr. grew up in Connecticut. He is a graduate of the prestigious Paier College of Art in Hamden, Connecticut where he studied illustration, commercial art, and photography. For four-years, Frank was trained by several world-famous artists including Kenneth Davies, Rudolph Zallinger and John Massimino. Becoming quite an exceptional painter, illustrator, and photographer, Frank would soon earn his Fine Arts diploma in 1981. Feschino then moved to Florida where he studied film and video production at Phillips Jr. College in Daytona Beach, Florida. He was also trained by Hollywood camera operator Rich Davis, and graduated with an Associates Degree in 1994. As a result of his studies, Frank readily honed additional communication abilities, further enhancing his already remarkable literary and interviewing skills. In the early 1990s, he became interested in UFOs when he visited a relative's farm in Braxton County, West Virginia. Crop circles had appeared there overnight and UFOs were frequently sighted over the area. Feschino carefully documented these anomalies and then shared his research and data with crop circle expert, Colin Andrews. During that era, Frank C. Feschino, Jr. discovered the infamous "Flatwoods Monster" incident of 1952. Conducting an extensive investigation into the case for several years, he has become a genuine authority of note on the event. Feschino has also researched into the history of the military's involvement with UFOs during the 1950s, focusing his investigation on the flying saucer flap that occurred during the summer of 1952, which included the Air Force's flying saucer "shoot them down" orders. The author subsequently wrote his ground-breaking book titled, Shoot Them Down - The Flying Saucer Air Wars of 1952, with both the forward and epilog having been written by nuclear physicist, UFO expert, and fellow author Stanton T. Friedman. Moreover, recognition and credit for the book’s jacket synopsis goes to Veteran master aviator and writer Alfred Lehmberg, United States Army officer retired.
