JOE PALERMO PARANORMAL BIOGRAPHY
Over the summer of 1972, 14 year old Joe's curiosity was peaked when he and several neighborhood friends sighted a circular object over their homes just South of Lambert International Airport. Parents ignored Joe and his friends UFO sighting, but he knew he had witnessed something unlike anything he'd seen before, even on television. He was further excited to discover a UFO study group (the launching pad for what is now known as the Mutual UFO Network, Inc.) in the area was bringing nuclear physicist Stanton T. Friedman in to lecture on "Project Blue Book." Joe attended the lecture, got Friedman's autograph but was disappointed to find that all the study group could *offer the 14 year old was a subscription to their newsletter and a list of books to read (*In later years, Joe would go on to become the president of the group with a seat on the Board of Directors).
It would seem that Joe's next level of exposure to unusual phenomenon was to come in close series:
The Bigfoot sighting had led Joe on a five year investigation. While many things were uncovered, the trail of this legend ended in an unresolved mystery but it was during the course of these investigations in 1979 that Joe was re-introduced to the UFO Study Group of Greater St. Louis. During this encounter with the group, Joe was introduced to both area KTVI Channel 2 celebrity astrologer, the late Rosie Cosentino with whom he would become good friends and appear as a guest on both her radio and cable television show, and "Dave" and "Phylis," two of the original "St. Louis Psi-Squad" (which has now expanded to become the "U.S. Psi Squad" founded by the late, world famous St. Louis psychic, Bevy Jaegers). For the next ten years, Joe dedicated every Wednesday and Thursday night to psychic and metaphysical study and training. In October of 1982, Joe participated in the fun of the Jim White KMOX "Spooktacular" with his psi-squad friends only to have the most frightening encounter of his conscious life with a spirit in the Lemp Mansion. A production contract was signed with the U.F.O. Study Group of Greater St. Louis for the video taping and selling of the 1985 Mutual UFO Network, Inc. Symposium being held at the Chase Park Plaza that featured lecture presentations by professionals in the field of ufology. The lectures were taped, titles added and some tapes sold. Now Joe had entered the reality of marketing home videos. During the latter '80s, Joe simultaneously maintained
several jobs, and video free-lance work while serving for both the UFO Study Group of
Greater St. Louis and the Missouri Chapter of the Mutual UFO Network, Inc. He has
been videographer, historian, librarian, editor and publisher of the newsletter The
ENIGMA, president and board member for the UFO Study Group, and has served as State
Director of Public Information and Education as well as
In June of 1995, Joe organized his limited liability company, Dream Masters Studios. In February of 1996, Joe invested his time and equipment as official videographer on an expedition to Puerto Rico and brought back 10 hours of footage. In 1998, Joe found an investor which allowed him to add digital video editing capabilities to his home PC. He completed a 3 hour and 4 minute researchers version and a 2 hour consumer version titled "Chupacabras! The Legend Begins." In 2000, Joe made his first of ongoing guest spots on the X-Zone radio show with Rob McConnell out of Canada. Joe also acted as US representative to then Canadian X-Zone listeners due to his scheduled guest spot the day immediately following the September 11 attack on the United States.
Joe's work in 2005:
Joe's work in 2007 - After dealing with his mother's death in February, Joe has to deal with the most major turning point in his life and EVERYTHING is put on hold until August. Finding a free online internet radio service that allows for live call-ins, he and Joice Owlwoman along with new co-host Amber prepare to re-launch LightVision and launch The Owlwoman Hour to put Joice back in touch with the listeners she developed at 97.1 FM in St. Louis several years ago. Joe's work in 2008 - Too many issues force LightVision off the internet. Joe is now focused on developing an audience for his internet television station, www.its-dms.com creating viewing pages for the top fifty television markets. Along with being a guest on Live From Roswell with Guy Malone, he is also contacted by KPI-TV for use of some footage from his documentary "Chupacabras! The Legend Begins!" and to be interviewed on-camera about the Chupacabras creature for their History Channel series MonsterQuest.
2009 - Producers of National Geographic's Paranatural series contact Joe for use of footage from his Chupacabras documentary for their show. Negotiations are accomplished and Joe's documentary footage, again, hits cable-casting. As the year moves along, Joe works on the development of the internet television station but his health begins to weaken. Along with lens replacement in both eyes, Joe's diabetes goes full blown putting him in the hospital. Low blood pressure issues force him into the hospital a second time. 2010 - Most of the year, a time of recovery for Joe. A previous partner offers a way to take his internet television station nation wide with a little computer programming magic. They begin working on it. 2011 - Aesthetic disagreements develop between Joe and the "previous partner" of 2010. "Previous partner" tries a power play to make things go the way he wants and Palermo makes him, again, a "previous partner." With the aide of a very close friend, Joe re-thinks and is re-organizing the internet television station plan and develops four phases of development to get to the original desired vision. Joe has been a listed honoree since 1990 in the Marquise "Who's Who In Entertainment."
