Michael Lindemann was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1949. He studied Political Science and Psychology at Stanford University during the Vietnam era, developing a lifelong interest in government policy and world affairs; and finished his BA degree in Transpersonal Psychology at Antioch University. He later combined his political and psychological interests as a social analyst, journalist and futurist. In 1989, he founded the 2020 Group, a private research organization studying forces that shape the future.

Since 1989, Michael Lindemann has earned national recognition for contributions to the study of UFOs. In 1990, he launched the Visitors Investigation Project to conduct and publish UFO research. His publications include:
