Linda Moulton Howe (born January 20, 1942) is an American

Regional Emmy award-winning documentary film maker best known for her work as a ufologist and advocate of a variety of conspiracy theories, including her investigation of cattle mutilations and conclusion that they are performed by extraterrestrials. She is also noted for her speculations that the U.S. government is working with aliens.[2][3][4][5]

Early life

She was born Linda Ann Moulton in Boise, Idaho.[6] Howe entered the 1963 Miss Boise pageant for college scholarships and went on to win the 1963 Miss Idaho crown[6] and scholarships, and participated in the Miss America 1964 pageant that year in Atlantic City. Howe received her 1965 B.A. cum laude in English Literature from the University of Colorado. In 1966, Howe was awarded the Stanley Baubaire Scholarship for her master's degree work at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California. She received her master's degree in communication from Stanford University in 1968, where she produced a documentary film for the Stanford Medical Center and her Master's Thesis, "A Picture Calculus," at the Stanford Linear Accelerator.[citation needed]

Career

Howe's early work focused on

Institutional Peabody Award for institutional excellence in 1975.[7]

In 1980, Howe produced A Strange Harvest, a documentary that suggested unusual wounds found on cattle are the work of

UFOs and supposed government conspiracies, saying "I am convinced that one or more alien intelligences are affecting this planet".[2][3] Although Howe claimed she was shown secret documents after being taken into confidence by an agent of the government, author John Greer wrote that Howe presented no evidence for such claims other than "the very ambiguous evidence provided by rotting cow carcasses".[10][11]

One Idaho state director of Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) called her "the most preeminent UFO investigator in the world", and she was named as one of "the gurus of American ufology",[4] although Howe has said she regards herself as a television producer and investigative reporter. Much of Howe's work includes speculations about what she terms "unexplained" phenomena, such as cattle mutilations, crop circles, UFO sightings, and alien abductions.[12]

Howe has produced numerous UFO related programming, including a two-hour special Earth Mysteries: Alien Life Forms in association with

Fox network in Los Angeles that was first broadcast in October 1991 and became the Sightings
series on Fox.

Howe appeared on a panel at

UFO Disclosure press event held at the National Press Club in 2013, saying she believed "alien technology appears so advanced" that "space and time could be bent by outer space travelers, therefore allowing extraterrestrials to visit Earth".[13]

Howe has proposed that some photographs of

circular artifacts caused by floating dust, errors that Nickell calls "the stock-in-trade of ghost hunters".[14]

Howe was a frequent guest on

The Discovery Channel special Evidence On Earth; the NBC network special, Mysterious Origins of Man, and the History Channel television series Ancient Aliens.[16]

Howe remains active as the host of a weekly broadcast on YouTube that dates back to 2007.[17]
