    Thinker & Storyteller****7,453 Words to Save the UK and I,Writer are now FREE. Scroll down to find them.*****1955 (Yorkshire, England) – I am born (Damn! Already been done). ‘Twas the best of times ... (Oh well).I was actually born in the year of Einstein's death, close to Scrooge's Counting House. It doesn't mean anything but it sounds good. As for my education, I left school at 15 and have had no formal education since. Hence, I'm self-taught.****From a family of newsagents, at 18 I did a Dick Whittington and went off to London, only to return to pretend to be Charlie and work in a chocolate factory.When I was ten I was asked what I wanted to be. I said soldier, writer and Dad. I never thought of it for years – having too much fun, such as a time as lead guitarist in a local rock band – but I served nine years in the RAF, got married and had seven kids. I realized my words had been precognitive when, at age 27, I came down with M.E. – a condition I’ve suffered ever since – and turned my attention to writing.Indeed, as I realized that no expert could tell me what was wrong with me, I began my quest to find out why. Little did I realize it would last decades and take me through the entire history of knowledge, leaving me with the certainty that our knowledge systems are inadequate.****My non-fiction is based on P-ology, a thought process I devised to work with patterns of knowledge, and designed to be a bedfellow to specialization. A form of Rational Holism, it seeks out areas the specialist may have missed. I work from encyclopaedias and introductory volumes in order to gain a grasp of many subjects and am not an expert in anything, but those patterns keep forming. Hence, I do not deal in truth, but ideas, and cover everything from politics to the paranormal.When reading my work I ask only: do I make sense? Of course, an expert would say: a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. I agree. And an expert has so little knowledge of everything.I also write novels and Flash Fiction in all genres.

      Introduction

      They're not green. They're grey.

      They are grey, blubbery little things with pointy ears and bug eyes. They fly about in comical looking flying saucers and land via a blue light that levitates you. They grab you in your cars, or they come and get you in your bed. And they take you on their flying saucer and prod you and poke you and then put you back and you're confused.

      They're not green. They're grey - stupid! And they're malevolent; or maybe benevolent. We don't know. Maybe they don't. Maybe they don't exist. But whether they exist or not, one thing I know is this. They're not green. They're grey.

      Chapter One – ALIENS GALORE

      Around 5.45pm on 24 April 1964 Officer Lonnie Zamora saw a bluish-orange flame descend behind a hill outside Socorro, New Mexico. Racing to the scene in his patrol car, he spied the landing site from about 800 yards and briefly saw an object with two small people beside it. When he next saw it, the people were gone and he dived for cover as he heard a deafening roar. The saucer shaped object then hovered momentarily before speeding off. Zamora went to the site, where he found eight imprints in the ground and the grass was smouldering nearby, soon confirmed by a colleague. Later, other witnesses came forward, including a couple of tourists who had seen the saucer shaped object an hour or two earlier. Researcher Philip Klass was suspicious of the encounter when he investigated it a couple of years later, especially when other witnesses gave slightly different versions of the sighting. He therefore put the incident down to a hoax, designed to increase tourism in the area.

      This is the problem with UFOs. Are they real, are they hallucinations, are they hoaxes? Perhaps it is impossible to tell. But there are certainly plenty of stories to work with.

      On 26 June 1959, Australian priest, Father William Gill and 37 others witnessed the sighting of a UFO above an Anglican mission in Papua New Guinea. Looking up at a 'sparkling object' 400 feet above them, it was a large, circular craft that issued a blue light. Suddenly, at the top of the craft they saw four human-like creatures. It remained above the mission for four hours, the creatures waving several times.

      On 19 August 1965 four young farmhands from a farm at Cherry Creek, New York, watched a silvery flying saucer in the sky. Turning the clouds green, it left a red and yellow trail. Descending to hover close to the ground, it then departed. So spooked were the animals that a bull bent the iron bar it was tethered to, and milk yield of the cows slumped.

      Sometimes sightings are in clusters. Researchers investigated the claims of Mary Watson and Joyce Byers in 1981 after they claimed to record over 100 separate UFO sightings around Moffat, Dumfries in Scotland. The women believed that the Moffat Hills hid a UFO base. They further claimed the sightings could be linked to a series of mysterious plane crashes in the area.

      Should we fear such sightings? Are the aliens after us?

      Missile engineer Daniel Fry spoke of his encounter with a remotely piloted alien craft in New Mexico in 1949. When a smooth, oval-shaped capsule landed close to him, a voice invited him inside, where he experienced a round trip to New York and back in less than an hour. The voice told him that they had been visiting Earth for centuries in an effort to aid human development. Going public in 1954, this and other encounters were ridiculed. But at least, the aliens seemed friendly enough. But is this always the case?

      Two Texan ladies, Betty Cash and Vickie Landrum were driving on a lonely road near Huffman, Texas, on the night of 29 December 1980 when they spotted a large, diamond shaped UFO lighting up the night sky. Also with them was Vickie's seven year old grandson, Colby. The UFO seemed to keep blasting hot flame towards the ground and was soon being swarmed by well over twenty twin rotor helicopters. All three occupants of the car got out to take a look. Colby and Vickie soon got back in, but Betty stayed longer, even walking closer to the UFO at one point. Eventually the UFO and helicopters disappeared. Over the following weeks Betty's excellent health deteriorated, contracting blisters, suffering hair loss and headaches. The others also suffered, but not as bad as Betty. The military denied anything happened.

      The first known aggressive encounter happened in August 1947. Geologist Rapuzzi Johannis came across a group of aliens in the Italian Alps. Raising his pick in greeting, they fired a beam of light which caused him to fall down the mountainside, leaving him semi-paralyzed.

      Canadian engineer Stephen Michalek saw two disc shaped craft hovering whilst he was hunting for minerals near Falcon Lake, Manitoba on 20 May 1967. One landed and he approached the craft. Suddenly a blast of what seemed to be exhaust hit him in the chest, causing a grid-like series of burns. He also suffered nausea and headaches.

      In August of 1967, Ignacio de Souza and his wife were returning to their ranch in Brazil when they saw a 'craft' on their small runway. He fired at it. He was hit by a green beam from the UFO. Afterwards de Souza was nauseous and he couldn't stop shaking. He was soon diagnosed with leukaemia and he died two months later.

      A strange encounter involved Scottish forester Bob Taylor, patrolling the woodlands around Livingston, West Lothian on the morning of 9 November 1979. Suddenly, in a clearing, he observed a dome shaped vessel close to the ground some 20 feet in width. Two spheres on spikes came out of it and headed towards him and seemed to tug at him. Experiencing a strange taste in his mouth, he passed out. Awakening with a severe headache and extremely weak, his trousers had a number of lengthwise tears and he had scratches on his legs and thighs. Running from the site, he returned later with police. No UFO was seen, but the police noted ‘ladder-shaped marks’ on the ground where Taylor said the vessel had been.

      Aggression can equally occur in the sky. For instance, as a Capt Coyne and his crew approached Cleveland, Ohio, in their military helicopter on 18 October 1973, they were approached by a cigar-shaped object 20 metres in length. Calling ground control, they were blocked by interference. Suddenly a green beam shot out of the UFO and 'caught' the helicopter, causing both objects to gain altitude quickly. Eventually there was a jolt and the beam disappeared, the UFO racing off at high speed.

      What on Earth is going on?

      Chapter Two – I SAW A UFO

      I saw a UFO once.

      Well, it wasn't really. Sometimes I call it my angel. That's the thing about these damn things. You
