INTRODUCTION My Lifelong Fascination with UFOs I’VE NEVER QUITE understood why some people think it’s weird to be interested in UFOs. The question for me is not why would you be interested in UFOs, but why wouldn’t you be interested in UFOs? It’s something that’s fascinated me all my life, particularly since I first saw one as a teenager. Believe me, if you see a UFO it sticks with you. I’ve never forgotten that day. I’ve forgotten big chunks of my life, especially some of the heady years, well decades really, when I was on the road with Happy Mondays and Black Grape. But I’ve never forgotten what happened that morning (which we’ll get to later). It’s been with me ever since. I know some people assume that UFOs are something that I got into in my wild, partying days with the Mondays, but that’s not the case. My fascination with UFOs started well before then, when I was a kid, and as I’ve got older, and my partying days are pretty much over, if anything my fascination with UFOs has just got stronger.
