John Keel byl novinář a autor známý svými díly o neidentifikovaných létajících objektech, fenoménu Mothman a dalších paranormálních jevech. Jeho práce se vyznačuje snahou propojit moderní pozorování UFO s dávnými mýty a náboženskými tradicemi, čímž zpochybnil tradiční pojetí ufologie. Keel je také známý tím, že zpopularizoval koncept "mužů v černém" a poukázal na souvislosti mezi UFO a psychickými jevy. Preferoval označení "Fortean", které lépe vystihovalo jeho zájem o široké spektrum nevysvětlitelných událostí.
