Background: Franklin Ruehl is an American ufologist and cryptozoologist. Ruehl holds a Ph.D in theoretical nuclear physics from UCLA.

Personality: Ruehl was born in Philadelphia (c. 1950). During his childhood, after 40 straight days of rain "his father told the family they were moving to California", where Ruehl was first introduced to the world of Sci-Fi, watching television programs and movies such as Space Patrol, Rocky Jones, Space Ranger and his favorite Sci-Fi movie Rocketship X-M, that captured his imagination and desire to explore the field he is in today.

Quote: "That's a lot better than a slap on the belly with a wet trout."

Powers/Tactics: His show, Mysteries from Beyond the Other Dominion started on cable public access in the Los Angeles area in the late 80s, and then the Sci Fi Channel in the early 90s. Ruehl majored in physics at UCLA ang got his PH.D. in theoretical nuclear physics there. During this time he was also writing articles in publications in Canadian UFO Report and went on the local T.V. news' five minute rebuttal sessions. After awhile he was being interviewed by the National Enquirer, later becoming a interviewer and writing articles on controversial subjects of that time (Cryptozoology, Parapsychology and Ufology).
