For Lisa, whose care and encouragement has helped to show me the path to
gratitude, wisdom, and the manifestation of infinite possibilities, in a world that
continues to amaze me increasingly with each passing day. Put that in your
coffee.
Acknowledgments
There are so many individuals who were instrumental in helping me complete
this book, whether by direct influence, or merely through the support they
provided. My sincerest thanks go out to my mother and father, for helping foster
a sense of curiosity and an insatiable interest in the unexplained since an early
age, and for allowing me to call or visit them in the evenings to ramble on about
my odd theories and interests to this day. I would also like to thank my brother,
Caleb, whose creative ideas not only contributed to the concept that became this
book’s cover, but also introduced me to Singularity and Transhumanism, both of
which this book incorporates toward understanding the UFO mystery a bit better.
Lisa Northrup, to whom I’ve dedicated this book, provided so much support,
encouragement, and brilliance with her ability to take concepts I would present
in our discussions, and re-order them more simply so that they made perfect
sense; great minds like hers are seldom encountered in this life, and I am so
grateful for the beauty and wonder she is capable of seeing in our crazy world,
which she then brings to those around her. More importantly, I am grateful just
to be one of those who get to be around her.
My special thanks to Scotty Roberts who, despite any great distance that may
exist between friends, always provides me with insightful discussion, rapt
attention, keen intellect, and philosophical wisdom that seems limitless; it has
been my privilege to be awake and on the phone with him in the still hours of the
early morning, as he finishes doing interviews on late-night radio, only to
continue our discussions about man’s origins and spirituality as the sun begins to
rise. Brad Steiger, for being a cosmic brother, and far more of an influence and
mentor to me than he probably realizes; Nick Redfern, for being a great writer,
researcher, and one hell of a fine guy (despite MIBs chasing him relentlessly);
Mike Reese for his friendship, and for sharing his remarkable encounter with an
exotic saucer craft in 1973; Michael Pye, Kirsten Dalley, and the fine folks at
New Page Books for making this book possible; and, of course, Chris Heyes,
Matthew Oakley, Vance Pollock, Marti Marfia, Billy Sanders, Susan Davidson,
Dakota Waddell, Charles Wood, Tim and Laura Gardner, and Christopher
McCollum, for being the finest friends and supporters anyone could ask for. Also
instrumental for their help, insight, and wisdom have been Greg Bishop, Thomas
Fusco, Jeffery “Muffin Man” Pritchett, Marie D. Jones, Wes Owsley, Ben
Grundy and Aaron Wright at Mysterious Universe, Tom Cameron, Nancy
Planeta, Alexei Turchin, Ben Goertzel, PhD, Tim Beckley, Peter Robbins, and so
many others who have helped through their research and support.
Finally, I must express my unending appreciation and thanks to my enigmatic
colleague Dr. Maxim Kammerer, for his thoughts on the illusory nature of space-
time, and for his incredible insights into ufology. Like some great secret born out
of the cosmic stuff of the stars, his limitless knowledge helped shape and refine
my own theories in profound ways. Without his wisdom and guidance, this book
would never have come to fruition, and my sincerest thanks go out to him,
wherever in space-time he may be at this, or at any, moment.
After all, time doesn’t really exist in the grand scheme of things, does it?
