DrJ Radio Live
John Ilias, widely known as "Dr J," is a seasoned researcher, podcaster, and legal professional with over 20 years of dedication to the field of UFOlogy. Based in Northridge, CA, John brings a unique "boots on the ground" perspective to the paranormal community, blending analytical rigor with deep personal experience.
A lifelong experiencer, John's journey began in West Covina, CA, where he witnessed a metallic saucer-shaped craft at the age of four. His interest was further solidified by a mass sighting in Greece in 1990. Growing up in a Greek family, he viewed the "gods" of mythology through the lens of history rather than fiction.
John graduated from law school in December 2010. His legal background informs his investigative approach to government disclosure and NDAs. His expertise caught the attention of the legendary Art Bell, who hired John to produce his show on the Dark Matter Digital Network in 2015.
He is the long-standing "in-house expert" for Third Phase of Moon (The Cousins Brothers), the world's original UFO news YouTube channel. He has also co-hosted with renowned researcher Preston Dennett.
John is an avid skydiver with over 80 jumps and a survivor of a major car accident that led to dozens of surgeries — a period during which he fully committed to his work in the UFO community.
