John Dover will be on Coast to Coast tonight.
Jonathan Dover spent 31 years as a law enforcement officer. He worked in the Arizona Police Department, the National Park Service, Navajo Historic Preservation Department, and the Navajo Nation Rangers. He joins George Knapp to discuss how he was assigned to officially investigate cases involving Bigfoot, the paranormal, Navajo witchcraft, and UFOs, along with his eyewitness account of the Phoenix Lights
