Earl Grey Anderson

Biography

Earl Grey Anderson (also written Earl Gray Anderson and Earl “Grey” Anderson), MUFON State Director for Southern California, is the person described by the SoCal MUFON team and tribute pages, Coast to Coast AM, Unexplained.ie and Northland MUFON.1

Born May 29, 1958, according to the dateline of the SoCal MUFON tribute page ("May 29, 1958 – April 27, 2025"). The Northland MUFON memorial gives 1959; no official record was read.2 Attributed

The Northland MUFON memorial heading gives his years as "1959 – April 27, 2025".3 Attributed

Died on Sunday, April 27, 2025, at 4:04 am, according to his daughter's Facebook post as reproduced by Unexplained.ie ("passed away this morning at 4:04am", in an article dated 27 April 2025). The SoCal MUFON tribute page, the Northland MUFON memorial and the Coast to Coast AM tribute give the same date but cite no source and appear to repeat the family announcement, so they are not independent confirmation; no official record was read. Preferred over April 21, the date on the SoCal MUFON team page (see the contradicting claim), which the daughter's post gives as the day of a cardiac arrest.4 Attributed

The SoCal MUFON team page (undated, unsigned) says he passed away on April 21, 2025. The daughter's post reproduced by Unexplained.ie dates a cardiac arrest in hospital, not his death, to Monday, April 21, and gives the death as April 27; the other pages that give a date also give April 27. Kept as a conflicting source report.5 Attributed

Died at St. Joseph's Hospital in Burbank, according to the SoCal MUFON tribute page; the daughter's post quoted by Unexplained.ie says he was in hospital without naming it.6 Attributed

His daughter's Facebook post, as quoted by Unexplained.ie, says that he was still sick with cancer, suffered a sudden cardiac arrest in hospital on Monday, April 21, and was on life support until he died. No medical record was read.7 Attributed

The SoCal MUFON team page states that he died "from complications with cancer"; the daughter's post quoted by Unexplained.ie says he was still sick with cancer when a cardiac arrest occurred. No medical or official record was read.8 Attributed
