Dorothy Wilkinson Izatt
Dorothy Izatt is best known for her 18mm video collection of videos which seem to capture extremely unusual and fast bursts of light. Dorothy first saw these lights around 1973, and being concerned about the unusual sight attempted to get local news and radio shows to take notice. Most dismissed her sightings so she decided to borrow a camera to begin capturing these lights on tape. She has been dutifully recording ever since over the last 40 years as she believes she is assisting in receiving and documenting a message from other entities that we are not alone in our perception of reality. Dorothy claims that the light is a form of communication from another type of consciousness or reality. I tend to agree with her. Very little is known about Dorothy except that she is widely regarded as having an above average intelligence, is family orientated and is not eager to embrace attention. Dorothy was married in 1950, and after World War 2 moved to Canada where she has lived ever since.
