Coming Soon…
Check out the “Coming Soon” section of Anomalist Book’s website. They have some good UFO titles out in the next couple of months. Keith Chester’s Strange Company (which is an in-depth study of UFOs in World War Two) is going to be a big hit, I predict.

Speaking of something becoming a big hit, Nick, when’re you goin’ to get ’round to writing something with you at the centre of it which can’t fail to be turned into a hit movie?
You’re such a colourful character, and very striking to look at.
Indeed, in some pics I’ve seen of you you (the few in which you haven’t got you’re any-alien-thinkin’-of-kidnappin’-me-without-my-permission-better-know-how-to use-a-sideview-mirror-the-next-time-they-brush-their-teeth look) you’re actually very good-looking…well, for a Norfokkerunian.
Then again, maybe you’re just the shy and retirin’ type…

LOL, for once I am at a loss for words…

Nick, I’m actually slightly shocked to discover at around the time I was making my flippantly-toned - but perfectly serious observations (to the effect you’re like a real life version of the sort of character one of my other heroes, the comics writer, Grant Morrison dreams up) - Craig Woolheater over at Cryptomundo was posting his report about ‘Three Men Seeking Monsters’ being ‘acquired by Universal’.
I was genuinely unaware of this story at the time, though I note from Craig’s Michael Fleming, Variety link a version of this story was available on the 7th or the 8th, so maybe I unconsciously picked it up somewhere along the way.
Setting all that aside, I don’t know whether you can act, but you should be seriously considered for the part of yourself; and even if you can’t act, Steve McQueen and Clint Eastwood in their best performances made a point of saying next to b*gger all to considerable effect; and like those, you apparently know how to throw a good moody pose.
Saying all that, I’m not actually so sure you actually do ‘throw’ moody poses - in the sense of conscious affectation - because in all your pics there’s always a slight hint of shyness in your eyes that suggest to me you only really seek the limelight out of vocational necessity.
Anyway, well done, my son!

Many thanks!
LOL, no I cannot act in the slightest!
Shyness and only seek the limelight when necessary? Nah, not at all.
However, I do find all of the ego-driven stuff in ufology (and most other aspects of Forteana) to be completely and utterly ridiculous.
All of the self-importance that so many people in ufology have just makes me laugh.
As a result, that’s why perhaps I don’t have as big a presence on discussion groups etc as some, or why I’m not always posting to UFO Updates etc (none of which I’m signed up to anyway), and maybe that’s why you might think in a way that led to your comments.
It’s definitely not due to shyness or anything like that; but just simply due to the fact that I’ll say something if I have something to say that I feel is important (hopefully like the things at this blog!).
But what makes me laugh about ufology, is the number of ego-driven people who go for the limelight just so they can be in the limelight, try and stay in it 24 hours a day, and not because they actually have anything worth saying.
If people have something worthwhile to say about the subject and that advances it, then that’s great.
But trying to use the subject for self-importance and self-serving issues (which I see a lot, specifically behind the scenes more often than not, at UFO gigs) is very stupid and pathetic.
So, here’s my point to your comments: I’ll pop up when I have something to say, then go away, and come back when there is something else worth commenting on.
I don’t, however, have a “need” to bask in the ufological limelight forever and a day as some do. So, I don’t think that this is shy and retiring; rather it’s just being important how and why a person chooses to be in the limelight, and why someone is in the subject.
One day I might write something for the blog about ego driven characters in ufology….
