For decades, the topic of UFOs was relegated to the fringes of society—the domain of conspiracy theorists and tinfoil hats. Military personnel who witnessed strange things in the sky were often silenced by ridicule or official protocol.
That era is over.
With the release of videos from the U.S. Navy and the establishment of official government offices to study “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena” (UAP), military UFO encounters have moved from science fiction to acknowledged fact. As a former U.S. Air Force Civil Engineering Officer and now a sci-fi author, this shift is both vindicating and deeply inspiring.
Famous Military Cases That Changed the Conversation
The modern disclosure movement is built on the testimony of credible military observers and sensor data.
The “Tic Tac” Incident (2004): Highly trained Navy pilots from the USS Nimitz carrier strike group encountered an object off the coast of California that defied the laws of physics—accelerating instantly to hypersonic speeds with no visible means of propulsion. The event was captured on advanced radar and infrared sensors.
East Coast “Gimbal” and “Go Fast” Sightings (2014-2015): Navy pilots reported near-daily encounters with strange objects performing impossible maneuvers in restricted airspace, leading to official safety briefings and eventually, public hearings in Congress.
These aren’t blurry photos from a lone hiker; these are multi-sensor confirmations from the world’s most advanced military platforms.
From Air Force Veteran to Sci-Fi Author
My time in the Air Force gave me a firsthand understanding of military structure, intelligence protocols, and the immense secrecy that surrounds advanced technology and national security operations. I understand the mindset of those tasked with guarding secrets, and the immense pressure faced by those who feel compelled to reveal them.
When I began writing The Disclosure Paradox series, I didn’t want to write pure fantasy. I wanted to write “grounded” sci-fi—a story rooted in the very real possibility that our government knows more than it’s saying, and that the military is on the front lines of first contact.
Blending Real Tactics with Sci-Fi Thrills
The characters in my books, like former Army Ranger Robert Ladd, are not generic action heroes. They think, act, and fight like real military operators. The briefings, the chain of command, and the tactical responses to the unknown are informed by real-world military doctrine.
By taking the reality of acknowledged military UFO encounters and extrapolating them into a “what if” scenario involving bases like Dulce or artifacts like the Turin Shroud, The Disclosure Paradox aims to provide a thriller that feels disturbingly plausible.
The truth is out there, and the military is already engaging with it. My books just imagine what happens next.
