About

Hi, I'm Andres.

I grew up in Mastic-Shirley, a few miles from Southaven Park, where the story of November 1992 has been told and retold for more than thirty years. I wanted to know how much of it holds up, so I started finding out.

By day I run a manufacturing business, which has given me a habit that turns out to be useful here: you don't trust a part until you've measured it. Material Witness applies that to strange stories. I collect the records, talk to the people who were there, and lay out the strongest ordinary explanation next to everything else.

The goal is simple: be careful enough that anyone (a skeptic, a believer, a retired cop, a scientist) can look at the work and see exactly what's known, what isn't, and how I got there.

Material Witness is independent. It isn't funded by any organization, and I'm not selling a conclusion.
