He contributed an extensive chapter to the Dr. Edgar Mitchell's FREE (Foundation for Research into Extraterrestrial and Extraordinary Experiences) massive volume Beyond UFOs (2018) dealing with modern and pre-1947 UFO-type phenomena of significant high strangeness, like the 1917 "Dance of the Sun" at Fatima, Portugal where an estimated 70,000 had been gathered due to alleged messages received by a group of children from a Marian apparition. He has met and interviewed witnesses from Maine to California, up in Canada, and in various foreign countries as far away as the Seychelle Islands in the Indian Ocean and Ethiopia. Brent has known and worked with many prominent people in the UFO field, including Betty Hill, Dr. Berthold Schwarz, Dr. Greg Little, Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle, Earl Neff, and many others.
