Biography:
Mindy Tautfest is the Dean of MUFON University, Director of Oklahoma MUFON, and a member of the Experiencer Resource Team (ERT). She joined MUFON in 2019 and joined the ERT in 2022 as a way to further help experiencers process their sometimes-difficult encounters. She's revamped MUFON's Case Management System used to conduct UFO investigations and updated the training curriculum found at MUFON's online learning platform. An Oklahoma native, she got her start investigating hauntings in the Sooner State in search of answers to her own mystifying experiences. Tautfest has worked as an ICU Nurse across the nation and volunteered her time to disaster relief efforts including the Colorado Black Forest Fires, Hurricane Katrina, and the Moore Tornado.

In 2016, Tautfest suffered a brain aneurysm resulting in a Near Death Experience where she found herself in a place known as the Void. Her personal encounter combined with years of investigations into UFO encounters places her in a unique position to understand the underlying connections and aftereffects of these enigmatic events. Her book, Dying To Meet Them, chronicling her incredible journey from NDE to UAP is due out in 2023.

Tautfest has appeared as a guest on numerous podcasts speaking about UFO sightings, breaking news in UFOlogy, Near Death Experiences, and High Strangeness in Oklahoma. She has had articles published in the MUFON Journal as well as Outer Limits Magazine. Her investigation of the 1975 Miracle Mountains schoolyard encounter was designated as MUFON's Top Case of Interest in 2021.This major U.S. schoolyard encounter mimics so many others from around the world including those taking place at the 1966 Australian Westall High School and the 1994 Zimbabwe Ariel School sightings. Tautfest presented the findings of her investigation into these encounters at the 2022 International MUFON Symposium in Denver, CO and on Season 19 of Ancient Aliens.
