And I looked into a couple of USO cases, I think around 2022, and I thought, this is really quite interesting.

And I thought, where are these cases?

They're scattered all over the place.

They're scattered in all these different databases and books.

And I thought I would like to hunt them down and just see how many there are.

and that turned into that turned into my research uh and i you know there was a couple of uh a couple of databases that were useful uh some of them some of those databases no longer exist i was able to to do a rip of one of them before it completely closed down that was water ufo.net by the late carl feint he was a very good researcher on this

Thank God.

Thank God I ripped his site because it doesn't exist any longer.

So there's different sources like that and a lot of out-of-print magazines, out-of-print books.

And I just collected and collected and collected.

And what I started to realize, like this is a massive subject that –

hardly ever been treated in a serious way in book form a couple of books over the years not many not many at all and so i wanted to uh once i collected enough of the cases i just wanted to do a as complete a of of a treatment of them as i could and my main goal was

I just thought it was a horrible tragedy that these incredible cases have nearly all been forgotten.

99% of the cases that I have in here have just been totally unknown.

One or two, one or two were known.

to even to researchers.

So I thought they've just been lost.

And when you visualize what these cases were, what these events were and how incredible they had to be to the witnesses involved, I thought, you can't let them be lost.

So I wanted to kind of give them a new life and write them out in a way that did justice to them and did justice to the witnesses who were there and to the people who investigated them at the time.

And I thought that these stories should not be lost.
