Starchild Skull - UFO Researcher Memorial - Lloyd Pye (RIP) | VIDEO
.jpg "Lloyd Pye Interview By OpenMinds (Date Unknown)")
The truth is something Lloyd Pye has been searching for his entire life. Born September 7, 1946 in Houma, Louisiana he earned a football scholarship to Tulane University in New Orleans as a Running back and Punter.. He graduated with a B.S. in psychology and from there joined the U.S. Army as a military intelligence specialist.
Pye began writing in 1975, and became a screenwriter in the 1980s. He worked on the TV Series 'Scarecrow and Mrs. King' about a spy and a housewife. In 1995 he transitioned from fiction to non-fiction.
His career as researcher, speaker and author led him to his work with the Star child Skull and since 1999, Lloyd Pye and The Star child Project have studied a 900-year-old human-like skull trying to find answers about it's true origin. That has been his primary focus and in 2011 at the IUFOC he spoke about his about findings.
One of the more frustrating aspects to Pye's work was going up against what he described as the "brainwashing" that goes on in the education system as well as his frustration with breaking beyond the barriers of contemporary science's viewpoints.
On July 21st of this year Pye posted this video on his Facebook page. In the video he spoke about his plans to search for alternative healing practices outside the US. His nephew posted this message on December 9th.
This is Lloyd's nephew. Lloyd Pye passed away at approximately 6:15 PM CT USA. Lloyd was surrounded by family and died in his mother's arms. The family is asking for privacy at this time as we deal with the loss. We will post additional information in the near future. Thank you to all of his friends and fans for your support, prayers and love. He loved you all deeply.
That message was then followed by this one:
We have had requests for a way to send cards and letters to the family. Cards and letters can be sent to Lloyd's family care of Bryan S. Stone, PO Box 1413, Destin, FL 32540.
Lloyd Pye truly had a gift at taking complex information and delivering that information in a way that everyone could understand. His enthusiasm for his work was infectious and it was something he held on too until the very end.

Budd Hopkins Memorial: "Lovely Affair Celebrating the Life and Work of this Wonderful Man"
of the famed New York School.Leslie Kean started the proceedings with her cool, professional demeanor, even though it was obvious that she misses her partner, friend and love. Any of us would be blessed to have that kind of tenderness in our lives, and something that was plain to see was the depth of respect and love that these two people had for each other, it was both reassuring and inspiring.
His daughter showed slides of many of Budd's artworks, which were bold, colorful and as direct as the man himself. Another thing that many spoke of was Budd's sense of humor, and I can personally attest that he loved laughing like few others, and there was some really nice footage of Budd being, well, Budd.
Peter Robbins delivered an eloquent eulogy, describing working with Budd, and how much influence Budd had on his own way of thinking and dealing with others. Randy Nicherson played a video tribute to Budd, full of poignant, heartfelt scenes - there was another video compilation presented towards the end, done by Seth Keal and Charles Miller, with some really heartwarming footage of Budd dancing with his granddaughter. Another picture of Budd, his daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter clearly demonstrated the uncanny resemblance of Budd and his daughter's daughter. He will live on in her.
David Jacobs spoke about Budd's work in the field of abduction research, but what really came through was how much David loved Budd as a human being and close friend. That was also evident in the way that people spoke about Budd afterwards, small conversations overheard during the subsequent reception confirmed that there was not a bad thought about Budd anywhere near the event.
There are many more details - some interesting UFO folks were in attendance, but they were outnumbered by the artist friends, thankfully - but suffice it to say that any of us would be happy and fulfilled to have this much love manifest at our departures.
To those who would attack his research, and accuse him of being a flawed human, of not being 100% hardass about his dealings with alleged abduction victims and potential hoaxers - I personally witnessed the degree of comfort this brave man gave some very distraught people, folks who were scared, confused and who didn't have anyone to turn to without being marginalized or ridiculed, and for that work alone, he should be celebrated and respected. If he was fooled by some unscrupulous folks, his decision to err on the side of kindness and compassion is perhaps a byproduct of his intensely powerful humanity and sincere desire to help others. Those who would vilify him would be well advised to check their own glass houses for hidden piles of large, rough stones.
Budd Hopkins was a great man, and I for one will miss him
something urgent.
