Synopsis:
Bigelow is a a wealthy real estate investor who has actively
sponsored research in paranormal topics, from alien implants to
life after death to cattle mutilations to Bob Lazar's "Element 115."
There are few well-known UFO and paranormal researchers who Bigelow has not funded
at one time or another, yet he remains highly secretive.
Bigelow owns many properties in Las Vegas, the most visible being
a chain of short-stay apartments.
(He has no relation to Bigelow tea.)
Although Bigelow is one of the few funding sources
for paranormal research, projects have often disintegrated over issues
of control and the sponsor's shifting attention.
Bigelow's latest paranormal venture is the National Institute of Discovery
Science (NIDS) with a small staff and a scientific advisory board that
meets several times a year.

"In a whirl of misunderstanding and conflicting agendas, the promising UFO coalition lavishly
funded by Las Vegas businessman Bob Bigelow has come crashing to an end....
The group met every three months, and the last meeting in July, held in Las Vegas, also marked
the end of the one-year agreement and time to renew. At that meeting, Bigelow informed Board
members that he wanted a vote and veto power. When asked how he planned to apply the power
to vote and veto, "he was vague about his answer," a source told UFO [Magazine]; but as the
meeting progressed it became apparent he did not agree with the group's choice of projects."
