To say the subject is controversial would be an understatement. That just makes it all the more suitable as the subject for a novel. For decades, perhaps even centuries, people have seen these unknown craft in the sky or even underwater. There can be a sharp divide between believers and non-believers, and controversy about what it all means. That tension, blended with the fundamental question of are we alone?, makes for many great storytelling opportunities. But the subject is very real. Thousands of sightings are reported every year to organizations like the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) and the National UFO Reporting Center. When investigated, many sightings can be explained -- and some can't. The latter is where the real phenomenon resides, especially when the sightings are highly unusual and seen by credible witnesses (pilots, military, law enforcement, etc.) and backed up by technological detection (radar, video, photos, etc.). Those are also the sightings that make us wonder why the government, media, scientists, and others would not take the subject more seriously. But, perhaps they do, and we just don't see it? Or maybe they just simply prefer to bury their heads in the sand? So, Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project launches from a place where UFO's and aliens are real. Maybe it isn't as fictional as I thought?
