Dr. Ted C. Loder is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of New Hampshire where he taught classes in the field of chemical oceanography. He was also a member of the Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space at UNH. These activities he refers to as his "day job."

Dr. Loder had a life-long casual interest in UFO phenomena and related energy issues but began to seriously study these issues after learning from a trusted government witness in the mid 1990s that they were real.

In April 1997, Dr. Loder attended the 3-hour Disclosure Project briefing on UFOs held in Washington DC. He was appointed as a representative of the Governor of New Hampshire (Jeanne Shaheen, now US senator for NH). During these briefings he met a number of top-secret military witnesses who described events they observed first hand to members of Congress and the Senate. He has also briefed NASA and NSF scientists as well as U.S. Congressional and Senatorial staff members on this topic. He has given talks and class lectures on UFO and related energy issues at his university, at scientific and public conferences, and to many private groups. Since the late 1990s, he has spent several dozen weeks conducting field research and observing the UFO phenomena in NH, NY, CO, AZ, CA, NC, and France.

In October 2000, at the request of Senator Bob Smith (R-NH), Dr. Loder organized and coordinated a briefing for the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee with six other energy experts. The subject concerned "Outside-the-Box" technologies, their critical role concerning environmental trends, and the unnecessary energy crisis.

Dr. Loder was also a member of the Space Colonization Technical Committee for the AIAA from 2002 to 2005 and also co-authored The Energy Briefing document sent to President Obama.
