For most of my life, I kept these experiences to myself.
As a business owner, husband, father, and explorer of nearly 40 countries, I spent decades trying to reconcile a seemingly ordinary life with experiences that were anything but ordinary. Missing time. Strange encounters. Unexplained fears. Questions that refused to go away. And my ongoing search for answers to one of the most enduring mysteries of our time: Who are they, why are they here, and what do they want?
For years, I searched for answers in science, psychology, and the accounts of others who reported similar experiences. The deeper I looked, the more I realized I wasn’t alone.
My book chronicles that journey.
