My latest novel has been published and is currently available on Amazon and other booksellers as both an e-book and affordable soft-cover. Nearly 40 years of research, including an analysis of sensitive documents containing insider knowledge, went into the making of my fictional account involving the decades long suppression of crash/retrievals of non-human technology in the possession of the military and private defense contractors, albeit shielded by a nearly impenetrable maze of “carved out” unauthorized special access programs.

PLOT

A cryptic variant of a 15th-century illuminated manuscript known as “Black Hours” discovered in the deepest recess of the Vatican’s private archives contains a mysterious calendar that reveals the phased intervals when a hyper-configuration of unknown origin is visible to human perception. It appears that this disguised alien platform attracted off-world visitors to the New Mexico desert back in the 1940s, and that the arrival of these crafts were proceeded by non-human constructs that met with misfortune near Magenta, Italy in 1933 while investigating the activity of an esoteric Order that once had access to the unique copy of Black Hours.

RA RA RA

Of interest to current uSAP gatekeepers, themselves, is an article about the 1933 Magenta UFO crash/retrieval that was allegedly leaked in a popular magazine in November of 1952. The magazine, dubbed, “RA RA RA” by modern intelligence operatives (‘coincidently’ issue #33) also featured an article about Pope Pius XI, who enabled U.S. forces to obtain the downed object. Shortly after being issued, all copies were quickly confiscated, with the revealing article replaced by a sanitized version entitled “Flying Saucers: Myth or Menace?”

WHAT’S UP, DOC?

Also noteworthy (both in the reality of the novel and as a true life puzzle) with regards to recent headlines about an astronomer and associate professor for theoretical physics that ‘discovered’ several missing stars in a photographic survey of plates taken by the Palomar Observatory during the summer of 1952 (a tight cluster of star-like glowing objects are captured on the plates at 8:52, but are gone by 9:45, with the triple transient occurring in less than an hour and, rather amazingly, coinciding with the famous Washington D.C. flying saucers flap!) is a passage from a book penned by a dubious contactee of “space brothers” in 1954. According to the author of “The Saucers Speak” the occupants of the interplanetary ships mention the importance of a Bugs Bunny cartoon from the summer of 1954. In the episode titled “The Hasty Hare”, the director of “Shalomar Observatory” (an obvious play on Palomar) detects a UFO while looking through the large telescope. After witnessing the anomalous object, and thinking he is going crazy, he writes a resignation note… that was subsequently REMOVED in many versions of the animated short. The last line in the letter reads: “When I start seeing things like this, it’s time to take up turkey farming. Funny, perhaps, but “The Turkey Farm” just happens to be a little known code word for the ‘place” where those engaged in UFO special programs have been banished to after seeing too much and talking too much. Coincidence? Or masterful deception contrived by the legacy programs’ shadowy guardians to protect their core secret.

Thanks for your consideration of purchasing the book and going on a ufological odyssey across America, traversing, at times, roads directly above the mostly abandoned “subtropolis” network that once housed the remains of otherworld lifeforms and their perplexing technology. Along the way we encounter experiencers of the phenomenon, government spooks, oddball scientists and their paramilitary keepers and a gorgeous podcaster chasing leads in a dangerous pursuit.
