My name is Mike. I'm a 46 year old white guy living in rural idaho. I sit at home part of the year doing cartoony illustrations, and the rest of the year I work teaching outdoor skills. I work for a mountaineering school, and I spend the summers in Alaska teaching glacier mountain skills. And, in the winter I teach skiing and winter snow camping.
So - If anyone want's to know how to build an igloo, I have a lot of experience.
I'm un-married, no kids but I have a nice cat.
Over the last 20 years or so I have been reading books on the UFO subject - a lot of them. My little cabin probably has well over 100 of 'em. I've mostly been focusing on the abduction phenomenon.
About two years ago, I had a conversation with a friend in the film business, I was trying to convince him to do a documentary on the UFO abduction phenomenon. He was really interested and seemed to sense the need for a even-keeled look at this easily exploited subject. He asked me a few questions, and then a few more - and then I told him (in a sort of dismissive way) that I had a missing time event right after seeing a weird flash in the sky when I was in Jr. High School.
He gave me this look that sort of chilled me.
Until that time, I had never really let myself even consider the importance of that story. The look on his face sent me on a new life journey.
These last two years have been spent actually looking at MYSELF, and trying to deal with all the implications of my strange life experiences. And it ain't been easy...
I'll add that I look EXACTLY like my cartoon avatar.
