VANCOUVER, BC, December 06, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A substantial private collection documenting decades of UFO and UAP research will be available through an online auction on Saturday, December 13, 2025.

According to Direct Auctions owner, Jeff Schwarz, who has forty years of experience liquidating assets ranging from major film sets to high-value estates. The industry response has been significant.

"In my 40 years of liquidating assets, from major movie sets to multi-million-dollar estates, I have never seen a response like this," says Jeff Schwarz, owner of Direct Auctions and star of the hit TV series The Liquidator, "The phone is ringing off the hook from film production companies and UFO collectors globally. This is, without a doubt, the number one auction in terms of immediate interest I have ever handled."

Centerpiece Artifact

The 1947 Roswell Army Air Force Base Yearbook, considered extraordinarily rare within UFO research circles. This yearbook is understood to be one of the only copies not held by government institutions. According to the collection's history, original versions were reportedly confiscated following the 1947 incident. This copy was acquired by Wyatt in 1996 from Roswell Air Force Base through a base officer who had preserved it. The yearbook provides personnel records that could enable researchers to locate witnesses, offering investigative angles for documentary projects.

Featured Interview Subjects

The archive includes extensive interviews with key figures in UFO and paranormal research:

Primary Figures:

- Bob Lazar – Known for Area 51 disclosures and discussions of element 115
- Gordon Cooper – Mercury Seven astronaut who discussed extraterrestrial encounters
- Stanton Friedman– Nuclear physicist recognized for Roswell crash retrieval research
- Linda Moulton Howe – Emmy-winning journalist investigating unusual phenomena
- Budd Hopkins – Researcher specializing in abduction accounts and missing time
- Dr. David Jacobs – Historian and abduction researcher

Additional Contributors: Michael Lindemann, Clyde Lewis, Bob Dean, Paul Davids, Tim Cullen, Ian Christopher, Stephen Bassett (Disclosure Project), Dr. Roger Leir (implant research), Gary Lowry, Jim Dilettoso, Dr. Frank, James Gilliland (ECETI Ranch), A.J. Gevaerd, John Greenewald Jr. (The Black Vault), Peter Gersten, Jordan Maxwell, Anna Hayes, Jaime Maussan, Wendelle Stevens, and Richard Hoagland (Mars research).

Producer's Perspective

Chris Wyatt, reflecting on the collection, stated: "This library isn't just footage; it's the raw DNA of the modern UFO phenomenon. I captured these interviews before the internet diluted the narrative. For a production company, this is a time machine—you're getting the unvarnished truth from the people who lived it, on broadcast-quality masters, many never been seen. It is time for this collection to go to the next generation of paranormal TV producers."

Industry analysts suggest the archive contains sufficient primary source material to produce five to six feature-length documentaries or a limited series, all without requiring expensive third-party licensing fees.
