In Plain Sight� An Investigation into UFOs and Impossible Science. (Book Review)

On a recent shopping trip, I discovered this book, �In Plain Sight, An Investigation into UFOs and Impossible Science� by Ross Coulthart. The author�s name was already strangely familiar to me as I suddenly remembered that Ross Coulthard had also hosted a recent NewsNation program that I had seen on YouTube a few nights earlier.

In that astonishing program, Ross Coulthart interviewed David Grusch, a former USAF and US intelligence officer. In this interview, David Grusch reported that he had insider knowledge of covert UFO programs that the United States federal government is allegedly managing. This story alone, sparked my interest and I wanted to learn more about this topic. This NewsNation program interview is truly fascinating and well worth watching. But this TV program is just the tip of the iceberg and when I started to read Ross Coulthart�s book �In Plain Sight�, I was amazed by what he had discovered.

Ross Coulthart has started a journey of discovery into a phenomenon that has been around for centuries. If you look at global history, you�ll quickly discover stories of unidentified objects flying across the sky that even today, still can�t be explained. Ross Coulthart�s, �In Plain Sight� book is an investigation into the most intriguing and important story in world history. During Ross�s journey, he has spoken to witnesses, researchers, defence officials, pilots, and even officials in the intelligence services to find out the truth. His book contains their knowledge, and memories and describes real-life incidents around the world.

For decades, governments around the world have tried to hide the knowledge of UFOs or UAPs from the public. But the frequency of these events is too common to cover up. In the United States of America, new laws may soon force the US military, and intelligence services to reveal what they know about UFOs. This data could include any retrievals and reverse engineering programs they have.

�In Plain Sight, An Investigation into UFO and Impossible Science� is a joy to read as it�s truly fascinating and mind-blowing with what you, the reader will discover about global history. Ross Coulthart�s book also explains why we should be optimistic as the biggest story in human history may be getting ready to emerge from the secret vaults of the global establishment. If you like mysteries, conspiracies, new technologies, espionage, UFOs and cover-ups, you`ll love this book as it covers them all. �In Plain Sight�, is the perfect name for the book as it describes the greatest mystery of all time.

Johnson at 10 Book Review

I�m currently writing my sci-fi thriller novel called �The Discovery Protocol �. But when I first heard about the book, �Johnson at 10� by Anthony Seldon and Raymond Newell, I knew I had to read it and review it.

I�m pleased to say that the writers of this literary epic, "Johnson at 10" have delivered a masterpiece. This book tells the political story of life in No10 Downing Street during some of the stormiest times and most chaotic times in UK history, the world has ever seen. The book includes the drama of the 2019 General Election and the Afghanistan withdrawal mission. It also reveals the astonishing details of the UK�s own COVID-19 pandemic responses that went on to affect so many in the UK.

The writers of �Johnson at 10� were able to interview more than 200 insiders, politicians, and key officials who all interacted with Boris Johnson. This book reveals the political games and political insight that lay at the heart of the British government. But it also describes Boris Johnson�s character, his quest for political power, and his ultimate downfall.

My full review is on my website. I`ve read a lot of fascinating books over the years and I've enjoyed them all. So occasionally, I will write a brief review on them and maybe even publish them. I have many different literary interests and these include science fiction, espionage, history, technology, and space. The author of these books spent a lot of time thinking, researching, writing, and then editing these books, it�s only fair that I add them to my literary collection as tomorrow they will become works of history.

Regards

Marc.

The Discovery Protocol

Marc Johnstone�s debut Genesis science fiction book series reveals the existence of the Foundation. The Foundation is a covert scientific and military organization created to protect humanity from a mysterious alien threat. This unknown threat has mystified the world�s finest scientists for generations. The Foundation exists in a dystopian world, where governments are failing. Societal development and integration are slowing, climate change is accelerating and humanity�s future looks uncertain.

Over a century later, the Foundation has grown into the most powerful organization the human race has ever seen. The Foundation has developed revolutionary technologies including the new Zeus Class Cruisers which are the pride of the Foundation fleet. This huge fleet has enabled the Foundation to create a network of covert bases that span the solar system.

The Foundation fleet quietly patrols the solar system, watching and waiting for the mysterious threat to reappear. The Foundation has evolved to become the guardians of the earth in a very dangerous universe. Marc`s Genesis series will reveal the Foundation�s history and missions including their most dangerous assignment yet, �The Discovery Protocol �.

Even today, the Foundation walks in the shadows. No person, agency, or nation has ever discovered their existence, witnessed their scientific or military dominance, or discovered the Foundation�s deadliest secrets. Yet, the Foundation�s artificial intelligence computer network has discovered theirs.

Marc Johnstone's Book Genesis series universe is a combination of military science fiction, espionage, and fantasy thrillers. Humanity�s greatest nightmares have become reality in the Universe of the Foundation. Marc`s new Genesis Science Fiction book series is filled with action, mystery, and some of the most adventurous characters in the cosmos.

With each step my trepidation grew.
Sweat, like shards of ice, lacerated my skin ...

You can trust me, I'm your mother

When I was about 12-14 years of age, my mother told me I was a twin but that my twin was stillborn. I asked questions: were they a boy or a girl? Was there a burial? But my mother shut down. Refused to discuss it any more and said �it�s all in the past now�. So I was left wondering and carried on with my schooling, my friendships, my teenage angsts, my life.

When I was in my early 30s I started researching family trees for friends and family. After an exhaustive search and some phone calls I was still completely in the dark about my �twin�. I found no death certificate. I found no trace anywhere. Again, my mother said �it�s all in the past, forget about it�.

A couple of years before my father passed away in 2007, I was in my mid 30s and I asked him. My father shook his head and said he didn�t know anything about it. I was confused. Again, my father also shut down and said �just forget about it�.

So, I continued my life, talking to my reflection as I did constantly growing up and believing I was talking to my deceased twin who I could have loved, who I could have supported and shared great times with. I always felt like there was a missing piece.

Now fast forward to 2018.

Online Dating Debacles

So. Dating. Specifically online dating. Yeh I can hear you slapping your hand against your forehead and screaming �NO! NO! & IN EVERY WAY NO AND THRICE NO!!� But I just want to say that it serves a purpose. It does. It's not for everyone though as you'll soon discover....
Look, you go to a bar, as I have done many times before and you meet a guy. That is your first meeting right? within 2, 3, 4 hours you perhaps swap numbers with him and agree to see him again. You�ve met him likely under the influence of several G&Ts. You�ve met him perhaps with hip-replacement-needing dance music bleeding your ears and your friends and his friends are dragging you both away for more drinks or whatever. He seems like a nice guy. He could also be a serial killer though or with a penchant for ballbag pierceings. And he could still live with his mother.

Online dating. You chat. Alot. For hours. Days? Weeks? before you meet. You can chat at length about everything and really get to know him. Also, more importantly, have you thought about this? you can google the shit out of him! instagram him. Linkedin him. 192.com him. Do a really thorough investigation on him online. I do it all the time because I want to be safe and know what I�m getting myself into. Especially because I have a son too.

won't you celebrate with me

Here is a poem that will lift your spirits...listen to Lucille read it and celebrate with her.

won�t you celebrate with me
Lucille Clifton, 1936 - 2010

won�t you celebrate with me
what i have shaped into
a kind of life? i had no model.
born in babylon
both nonwhite and woman
what did i see to be except myself?
i made it up
here on this bridge between
starshine and clay,
my one hand holding tight
my other hand; come celebrate
with me that everyday
something has tried to kill me
and has failed.
