Profile

David Sankey is an artist/Illustrator living in the United Kingdom. He has always been fascinated with strange phenomena and spent many years as both an active Investigator/Researcher with various organisations – he was an RIC (Regional Investigations Coordinator) for his region and Secretary to the NIC (National Investigations Committee with the British UFO Research Association - and in 1996 he was awarded BUFORA’s Investigator of the year award at the Sheffield University conference.  Over the years he has also played an active role as an Investigator/Researcher with organisations such as ASSAP (The Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena), UFOIN (UFO Investigators Network) etc.

Preferring a low key role - David is still actively involved with various researchers around the world often offering assistance with his Illustrative talent to accompany their work and research.  His main fields of interest and study are primarily with CE3 and CE4 cases, focusing on the general physiology of the occupants and their counterparts.  At the moment David is currently assisting with work upon a five volume book project in the UK, with authors John Hanson and Dawn Holloway – with a working title of Haunted Skies the book project takes a chronological look at witness sightings and strange phenomenon reported extensively throughout the UK region from the early 1940’s through to the present.

Apart from David’s dedication to the study of ufology he also has an active interest in the ‘Nose Art’ often painted on aircraft in WWII and through this he is currently working closely with the Tower Museum at Bassingbourn, England, wartime home of the famed 91st Bomb Group, with a series of Illustrations dedicated to the memory of USAAF bomber crews who flew from this base in WWII.  Most of this work will be made available in the Tower Museum shop, the main proceeds helping towards the running costs of the museum.

In addition to these interests David is a keen Mountain biker and on most weekends can be found cycling around the countryside with his partner Erica and their close friends from the Rural Rides program run by the Nottinghamshire County Council.
