Last month in this column, I presented the details behind the extraordinary UFO sighting I had with my late father back in 1970; how I recalled that event 47 years later, in 2017, just a few days after my dad died; how that recall led to the writing of my book AFTER THEY CAME; and how I subsequently learned many things about my dad I’d never known previously.

In this, Part Two of “What Did My Father Know?”, I will present additional research, including the story behind my dad’s remarkable workplace, Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. I began this research in 2017 for the first time in my life, only after my father’s passing.  

I’ve been dreaming about my late father a lot lately. Not sure why. He passed over eight years ago now. But the more thought I’ve given to him recently, the more I’ve come to realize that the reason I’m so deeply entrenched within the DISCLOSURE MOVEMENT today is because it’s allowed me a path by which to honor his memory. And possibly to give him a “voice” after his death.

I was honored to have once again served, for the second year in a row, as the Director of Media Relations for the just concluded Contact in the Desert 2025 conference.  Between that role and while also wearing my other “hat” – that as the Chairman of the Hollywood Disclosure Alliance - I was in the fortunate position at CITD to meet and interact with the top “stars” of UFOlogy, who were all assembled there at the same time and under one roof.

On August 15, 1977, astronomer Jerry Ehman discovered anomalous data from outer space via Ohio State University’s Big Ear radio telescope. A few days later, while reviewing that recorded data, he was so impressed by the result, he circled on the computer printout the reading of the signal's intensity, "6EQUJ5,” and wrote the comment "WOW!" in red ink beside it. This led to the event's widely used name, The WOW! Signal, to this day (including the inspiration behind the name of this website.)

Since the dawn of the motion picture age and later, television, the global entertainment industry has produced tens of thousands of movies and TV series episodes presenting Aliens coming to the Earth.

Usually, to sell the most tickets to theater seats, and get the highest TV ratings, the movie and television studios have shown us Aliens who are here to either kill us or eat us.

Those of us who remain enthralled every single time we watch Close Encounters of the Third Kind (i.e. ME – I’ve seen it at least 60 times), be on alert!
