| Dad, Valerie, David, me in Mums arms with Field-Marshall Montgomery at our home in Enham Alamein near Andover, England during 1949. |
| My Dad never spoke much about the work he did on special operations in the Navy during WWII. He did though several times tell me of strange deja vu experiences he had when his ship docked in Malta. He knew the streets, the shops and local layout as if he had visited before but he had not - ever. After the war was over and all the debriefings Field-Marshall Montgomery (Monty) had with Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Eisenhower, 'Monty' visited our home and had tea with our family. The photograph above shows Monty, Winston Churchill, General Simpson and Field-Marshall Sir Alan Brooke crossing the west wall in Germany. |
| This section of my website is dedicated to the memory of my Mum and Dad who both passed in recent years at the ages of 90 and 84 years respectively. I am the third of four children. The first David who as a young boy took on many of Dad's roles as the man of the house during the second world war because Dad was an officer in the Royal Navy and was away on special operations in various troubled parts of the world. My sister Valerie was born in 1944, myself in 1946 and my second brother Peter two years later. Ive often jokingly called myself the end of war celebration. |

They came home and shared the story the moment they came through the door. I
could see that something very strange had happened to them. Strange though that
my brother does not remember any part of it.
I did however have two of my own experiences, both identical to each other six years
earlier. SELECT

They truly loved us kids and were always there for us. Both of them supported me
during all the years of my research and long before.
There was one part of the family journey we did not share together and that was one
late evening when I was about 11 years of age. My brother Peter and Mum and Dad
took a local drive north of our home and watched in disbelief as they witnessed a
disc shaped object hovering about 100 feet off the ground above conifer trees and
close to the small country highway they were on. My Dad stopped the car and with
Peter they walked across the country lane to watch the object hovering and swaying
from side to side. It rose up a little and a bright beam of light appeared from its
underside onto the trees below. My Mother was so fearful of the object that she
screamed for them both to get back into the car. They all saw the beam of light from
this object suddenly turn off as it rose up and in a split second it was gone at
colossal speed.
From that day on, while Ive researched the UFO subject as well as the crop circles
around the world, I never doubted that UFOs are real. I implicitly believed my Mum,
Dad and Brother and finished up doubting governments versions instead.

| No one knows exactly how many people died during the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic. During the 1920s, researchers estimated that 21.5 million people died as a result of the 1918-1919 pandemic. More recent estimates have estimated global mortality from the 1918-1919 pandemic at anywhere between 30 and 50 million. |
