No matter what option you choose, I’ll always offer you:

Clear Information

That helps you understand the UFO phenomenon. No need to sit through hours of confusing commentary. Just the key facts and connections that matter to you.

Good Sources

That talk about what is credible and what is not. I cite my work so it can meet your academic, journalistic, or personal fact-checking needs.

One Focus

That doesn’t stray from the topic or mission of this newsletter. No unrelated politics. No kooky shit.

A Friendly Voice

That keeps things accessible for Ufologists and newcomers alike. I try and write so that you can be comfortable forwarding these posts to friends and family. If I can make you laugh occasionally, that’s a bonus.
