Author/Journalist
Linda Moulton Howe is a graduate of Stanford University with a Masters Degree in Communication. She has devoted her documentary film, television, radio, web, writing and reporting career to productions concerning science, medicine, the environment and Earth mysteries. Today she is Reporter and Editor of the award-winning Science, Environment and Real X-Files news website Earthfiles.com, a large online chronological archive of nearly 3,000 in-depth reports with thousands of images covering science, the environment and the high strangeness of unexplained Earth mysteries.
Ms. Howe has received local, national and international awards, including three regional Emmys, a national Emmy nomination and was an honored producer for medical and science programming in a WCVB-TV (ABC) Boston station Peabody. Linda’s award-winning documentaries have included A Strange Harvest that explored the worldwide animal mutilation mystery that has haunted the United States and other countries since the 1960s and continues to date.Other award-wining productions are Poison in the Wind and A Sun Kissed Poison, which compared smog pollution in Los Angeles and Denver; Fire In The Water about hydrogen as an alternative energy source to fossil fuels. That work was honored in New York City with a 1978 National Emmy Finalist for Community Service award.
As Director of Special Projects at the KMGH-TV (CBS) station in Denver, Colorado, Linda received the Aviation & Space Writers Association Award for Writing Excellence in Television and the Colorado Florence Sabin Award for “outstanding contribution to public health.”
Linda earned a 1981 Chicago Film Festival Gold Award for best documentary to A Radioactive Water — an achievement that was recognized by Colorado’s then-Governor Richard Lamm in a December 29, 1981, letter to Linda. Linda’s investigations and TV broadcasts about environmental issues in Colorado were also recognized and honored by the Environmental Protection Agency with a Citizen Participation Award from actor and environmentalist Robert Redford at the Denver EPA headquarters on January 1, 1980. Following her air and water investigations from 1976 to 1979, Linda began in September 1979 to investigate the phenomenon of bloodless and trackless animal mutilations that were occurring not only in Colorado, but every state in the U. S., every province in Canada and around the world in both hemispheres.
Her documentary production A Strange Harvest was broadcast on KMGH-TV as a 90-minute evening special on May 25, 1980, to the largest audience in the station’s history for a locally-produced documentary and earned Linda another Regional Emmy.
During her 9-month travels from September 1979 to May 1980 to film the bizarre, trackless and bloodlessly mutilated animals in Wyoming, New Mexico and throughout Colorado, law enforcement and ranchers told Linda off and on the record that “the perpetrators of animal mutilations are creatures from outer space.” Producer-writer-director-editor-reporter Linda Moulton Howe in October 1979 filmed a mutilated bull in Walsenburg, Colorado, with cameraman Richard Lerner. It was rancher C. E. Potts’s prize bull found dead in July 1979, and still untouched by natural predators three months later. With bloodless precision, a perfectly round pattern of hide had been excised from around the missing left eye. Linda has traveled in England, Norway, France, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Yugoslavia, Turkey, Ethiopia, Kenya, Egypt, Australia, Japan, Canada, Mexico, the Yucatan, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Peru, and Brazil. As an investigative reporter, Linda has spoken at national and international conferences, including NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
A few of Linda’s earlier productions included her 2003 investigation of mysterious light phenomena and human abductions in England and Corguinho, Brazil. In 2002, she traveled to Norway to join astronomers, physicists and engineers in the study of “thermal plasmas of unknown origin” in the Hessdalen Valley. In 2001, Linda traveled to Hong Kong and Laos to investigate “tall wild men” reports for The Discovery Channel television series, Modern Mysteries of Asia. Linda was Supervising Producer and Original Concept Creator for UFO Report: Sightings produced by Paramount Studios and the FOX network in Los Angeles. Its first broadcast was in October 1991, which was expanded into the Sightings series on FOX.
Other television productions in the 1980s included The World of Chemistry for PBS and a two-hour special, Earth Mysteries: Alien Life Forms, in association with WATL-Fox, Atlanta. Linda also produced documentaries in Ethiopia and Mexico for UNICEF about child survival efforts; investigated high strangeness in Peru; and was Director of International Programming for Earthbeat, an environmental series broadcast on Ted Turner’s WTBS Superstation in Atlanta, Georgia.
On Saturday, March 4, 2017, more than 2,000 people turned out in Manchester, England, for the 2017 Awakening Conference where Linda Moulton Howe was the Saturday evening keynote speaker along with legendary Chariots of the Gods author Erich Von Daniken. After Linda received a standing ovation, Erich presented her with the all-crystal 2017 Stellar Citizen Award for excellence in investigative journalism about UFO phenomena before the enthusiastic audience at the Bowlers Exhibition Centre.
