PREFACE
This book is not a work of fiction. It is based on actual events, and the
story is as factual as my ability to tell it. It concerns my encounter with
something which, at this early stage of scientific study into the field, can
only be termed an ‘alien’ presence. By ‘alien’ I do not necessarily mean
lifeforms from outer space; merely the physical manifestation of something
other than what we are accustomed to accepting as part of our own
conditioned reality.
There are many interpretations regarding these bizarre phenomena,
each of them as credible or incredible as the next. No-one who is seriously

than the average person might assume.
The reason for this apparent lack of knowledge in the public arena is
due mainly to the insistence on privacy by those personally involved. Noone
likes to submit themselves to public ridicule, which is so often the
natural human reaction to experiences such as these.
This general attitude, however, is exactly what has kept us in the
dark ages when it comes to gaining a greater understanding of the more
profound mysteries of human existence.
Rather than hiding the truth behind the fear of unacceptability, I have
chosen to speak out in the hope that others will find the courage to do the
same. Repression is not the key to knowledge — public recognition has the
unique quality of ensuring that an issue (whatever it might be) be opened
up for further investigation. Without public awareness of just how
widespread the phenomenon actually is, no response is necessary, and the
problem simply remains unaddressed.
In Australia, one of the greatest inhibitors of public knowledge is the
fact that the qualified professionals researching this area are not willing to
risk their reputations or careers either. To date, Ufology has not been
