He launched Miami Models in 1995 with clients, Tommy Hilfiger, Nike - Serena Williams, Ralph Lauren, Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Polo Black Label. Reed also represented the Miami Dolphin Cheerleaders, NFL's Michael Rumph, and L'Oréal. Miami Models/Reed was renowned for their Children's Board, European Print Fashion and Runway, for companies, Ocean Drive, the Pangaea Club, and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. Five-Star Productions, underwritten by John Paul Mitchell Systems, frequently booked Miami Models talent and later offered Reed the position of associate producer for the syndicated television series "Today's Health," with Tennis Pro Chris Evert. Reed has been the subject of documentaries and been featured in Men's-Health, Marie Claire, Radio Times, Screen Rant, the Boston Globe, NY Times, and the Roswell Daily Record. After a near death car accident in Boca Raton, FL on December 19, 2005, he dissolved Miami Models via a partnering agreement with AGE (Anderson Green Entertainment) in South Beach. He has since founded UFOXPO, a celebrity UFO conference and film festival, held in, Roswell, NM. Saint Augustine, FL. Salem, MA. and Spruce Pine, NC. The, Thom Reed UFO Incident, was wrongfully re branded, the Berkshires UFO via Unsolved Mysteries in 2020 as it overshadowed the Reed family that the episode was solely based on. Thom Reed's (Berkshires UFO) incident of September 1, 1969, would become the first Off-World incident to be officially inducted and formally archived into the United States as historically true, by historians and the office of the Governor. The State induction graced the front page of the Boston Globe and was covered live by ABC News NY. A sculpture and park were erected at the location in 2015. The, "Thom Reed - UFO Monument Park" is located on Covered Bridge Ln Sheffield, MA. 01230. Now a popular filming location for shows, Ancient Aliens, Unsolved Mysteries, Netflix, and Travel Channel, with donations from the family of B.B. King and the Roswell UFO Museum. Fact Check: Thom Reed's official Governor's Citation is legitimate and was not issued in error as falsely claimed by Reporter, Terry Cowgill. Reed's first citation issued by Governor Charles D. Baker had a grammatical error, it was amended and reissued to Reed via the Governor’s Office in Boston. Both the citations can be seen on numerous websites. Cowgill’s misleading articles, claimed the entire citation was written and issued in error. The facts will show the formal request for the governor's rubber-stamping of said citation and state archiving came from the director of the Historical Society in 2015. Cowgill, has openly dismissed the UFO topic and has a personal distaste for Thom's late father, Dr. Howard Reed, which stems from Howard's previous years in public office. The Thom Reed UFO incident aka Berkshires UFO is not a claim, it is officially archived into U.S. history via Government, a first for America. Details can be found at the International UFO Museum in Roswell. Reed Family UFO History & Diner: Our Government via NASA had to fund numerous manufacturing facilities in the Berkshires, while competing with Russia in the space race (to the moon). Scientists and engineers would often discuss the space race in Reed's, Village on the Green Diner, as it was near the horse track, schools, and it had a Jukebox. The Reed's became accustomed to keeping the Space Race conversations private and in 1969 the goodwill message, manufactured by their paying customers, was placed on the moon alongside the flag by Buzz Aldrin on July 20, 1969. Numerous UFO sightings were reported in the area, but it was Reed's encounter that made headlines, and was later unveiled at the United Nations, on October 2, 1992, in support of GA 33/436. By Reed's lawyer, Robert Blechman. Reed is a Fox Prime-Time and News Nation contributor, with respect to the UAP Hearings and/or his Berkshires UFO incident via Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix. Early Life: Thom was born in New York but soon went with his mother to Cherry Hills, Colorado, moving into the home of William Roosevelt, the grandson of President Roosevelt. His grandmother Marian was the Governess for the household. Following his parents' divorce, Thom, Nancy and Marian moved back to New England when he was three (3). His stepfather, Dr. Howard Reed, was an attorney and town selectman in Canaan, Connecticut. His mother, Nancy, became a radio personality and later the station director for WKZE 98.1 FM, and opened a local diner, The Village on the Green, in Sheffield, MA. Nancy also raised horses, Thom and his brother Matthew would compete in 4H competitions. Thom attended Monument Mountain High in Great Barrington, MA. He was a member of the wrestling team and photography club. After graduation, he took college courses at A-I Prince Technical School in Hartford, CT, and attended NWCC in Winsted, CT. His career began in Hartford, CT, where he worked as a stage manager and photographer for North East Concerts, and later a runway fashion photographer for "Sage-Allen & Co." At the age of twenty-six (26) he was the stage manager and photographer for Club Getaway (Club Med) he met Danielle Gallo, the Art Director for Omni-Penthouse Magazine. Gallo befriended Reed and, in 1986, invited Reed to Omni-Penthouse in New York. (1954 Broadway) She encouraged him to shoot slide film, and informed him of the industry's inner workings.

UFO Facts and History: Government Sealed & Historically Verified Thom Reed Holds the First UFO Encounter Ever Officially Archived as Historically True in American History. For the first time in the history of the United States of America, a UFO encounter has been officially archived as historically true, a determination no government body at any level, federal, state, or municipal, had ever made before, and one that permanently and irrevocably reformed the national historical record of the United States. This is the official position of the United States government, entered into the permanent record and sealed by the authority of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on behalf of the American historical record. By the full institutional authority of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Governor Charles D. Baker and Lieutenant Governor Karyn E. Polito issued two formal state citations affirming the findings of the Great Barrington Historical Society and the Massachusetts Historical Society, the culmination of a three-year formal evidentiary process that drew on polygraph tests, news articles, radio broadcasts, and vetted witness testimony. The Commonwealth's determination was not opinion, commentary, or conjecture, it was an official government conclusion, entered permanently and irrevocably into the historical record of the United States of America. The induction made the front page of the Boston Globe and was covered live by ABC News New York. When a sitting Governor of the United States signs formal citations declaring a UAP encounter historically true, that is the weight of government speaking. That is the force of law on the national record. That process was anchored by the Great Barrington Historical Society's own signed and notarized determination, declaring the Reed off-world incident "historically significant and true" citing corroborated evidence, vetted witness testimony, a Hynek classification issued during the years of Project Blue Book, and polygraph confirmation. Legal research was conducted at the International UFO Museum Research Library in Roswell, New Mexico, underscoring the scope and institutional seriousness of the inquiry. Every finding was verified, documented, and sealed by the governing authorities of the United States. This was not a local historical footnote, this was a formal evidentiary process conducted with the full rigor demanded by the institutions of American government, producing a conclusion that stands as a first in the entire history of the United States. The road to that determination was as compelling as the incident itself. In 1992, the Reed family incident was formally presented at the United Nations in support of General Assembly Resolution 33/426 placed before the highest international governing body on earth, on the record, in the chambers where nations speak. On the anniversary of that presentation, Thom's father, attorney and mayor Dr. Howard Reed, died suddenly. That convergence reignited institutional interest at the highest levels and helped drive the formal evidentiary process that ultimately established Thomas E. Reed as the first individual in the history of the United States to have a UAP encounter formally recognized and officially archived as historically true, a distinction that had never existed in this country before and belongs solely to him. Reed and the Commonwealth have consistently maintained that the family encountered an off-world craft and were subsequently extracted by individuals working with or employed by the government, a position directly supported by the Reed family's documented ties to the space race. Engineers and employees working on the space program regularly gathered at the Reed family diner in Sheffield for private conversations about their encounter and the Goodwill message. This was not fringe speculation. This was corroborated, documented, and deemed credible by the same governmental institutions that built the space program itself. Any reference to alien abduction was inserted by media outlets and those who piggybacked on the family's history-making event, a deliberate distortion of the official record. The Netflix episode titled "Berkshires UFO" was based entirely on the Reed family incident. Thomas E. Reed is not a part of the Berkshires UFO, he is the Berkshires UFO. His documented history and state-archived records launched the episode, and The Berkshires UFO is his trademarked brand and website. Reed was inducted into Marquis Who's Who in America in 2026, joining a distinguished registry of the nation's most accomplished individuals. Thomas E. Reed is a former Fortune 500 executive whose career includes Regional Key Accounts Manager at Honeywell, Area Sales Manager at Entergy, National Accounts Manager at Sentry Technology, Director of Commercial Markets at Sentek Engineering, and Sales Engineer at Vicon Industries. Bonded and holding GSA federal contracts, Reed designed and engineered multi-million dollar integrated security systems for American Airlines, Miami-Dade Aviation, naval bases, and government buildings across the United States. He is also the founder of the International Model Management Group, Miami Models, one of South Beach's most renowned talent management organizations. The Reed incident is officially archived, government verified, and legally sealed. No interpretation. No debate. No conjecture. In the entire history of the United States of America, no other individual holds this distinction. No other UAP encounter has ever been officially archived as historically true at any level of American government, before or since. Thomas E. Reed stands alone on documented, government-verified ground that no one else occupies and no one can take from him. Thomas E. Reed Updated: 01-03-2026
