A few kind souls have asked after me having noticed the somewhat reduced posting rate on Further, for which I apologise.

It's all for a good reason, however. After many months of giddy peaks and lightless troughs I'm finally approaching the end of an initial draft of <em>Mirage Me</em>n, my book about intelligence, disinformation and the creation of the UFO mythology.

Partly a historical overview of intelligence manipulations of the UFO subject and partly an account of mine and John Lundberg's attempt to stagger through the saucer-shaped labyrinth in search of answers, I hope it will be a ripping read whose ramifications extend far beyond the domed confines of the UFO phenomenon. It'll need <em>at least</em> one more run through before it's fully finished, but the initial slog is soon to be over – praise be to our extraterrestrial overlords!

There'll be much more news to come about <em>Mirage Men, </em>which is also a documentary film by John and myself, but the book will be published in the first half of next year by a very patient Constable Robinson.

And for those of you who have been looking forward to <em>Strange Attractor Journal Four</em>, rest assured, we should see it emerge towards the end of this year.

As ever, watch this space... and keep watching the skies!
