Tj Always Believed… Part I: Home Invasion

Jul 20, 2026

Aliens. Flying saucers. Little green men. Tall gray men. Lizard people. You gotta love them!

Since I was a kid I have loved the unknown. I am today someone who believes in the possibility of all things—Bigfoot, Lock Ness Monster, aliens, honest politicians—okay, that went too far. No way there are honest politicians. But the rest, yes, I believe in the POSSIBILITY of those others.

These past few years, UFOs, excuse me, UAPs—Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon—have left the closet and battled the stigma and secrecy from our government and found their way into the national media. Gee, it only took them eighty years to admit what many—perhaps close to most—of us already believed. Lately, and I mean in the past year or so, there has been a huge government movement to tell the truth. God forbid. There has been so much push from the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) and other private agencies to disclose what we normal folks and our military has witnessed, that even the White House has directed the disclosure of UFO/UAP information.

And boy, has it come out.

I don’t have to be convinced. I had an encounter back in 1973 that caught my attention and made me a believer. The rest of you are just catching up. And, ten years ago, I noticed a growing trend from the US and other countries to slowly drip feed us information on UFO/UAPs in our world. I told my wife then, and it’s happening now, that we were being sensitized to something big and something amazing.

I believe that.

Now, mainstream leaders from Congress and the scientific community, and those across the world, are openly saying, “Hell yeah, they’re here. They’ve been here. We have the proof—downed craft, little gray aliens, the works.”

Now, some of that is BS and some of it is real. You just have to sift through the BS to find the truth.

Now, my first concern is that the old Twilight Zone episode, To Serve Man, is in our future. Or perhaps “V”—either television series that always seemed like a modern version of To Serve Man. Other than being the main course in an alien banquet, if Jane Badler or Morena Baccarin wanted to land in my yard and take me prisoner, sure, I might not mind. But come on, To Serve Man? (Authors note: for you of young ages, To Serve Man was just that. Aliens arrived, co-opted our governments-shocker I know-and took earthlings for a ride on their flying saucer. Of course, in the book the alien’s brought-To Serve Man-was a cookbook. Kinda the same with V except for the hotties Badler and Baccarin.) So, yeah, there’s that to think about.

In the coming weeks and months, I’ll be doing a series of “Tj Already Believes” about UAPs, spirits, and other phenomenon. Some of it from everywhere, and some from right here in Virginia—it’s a documented hotspot for UFOs!

Stay tuned!

I first fell in love with writing while in grade school and over the years continued to dabble with characters and stories whenever life allowed. Lately, I've focused my energy on pursuing this dream—interrupted only by life as a security consultant and the demands of two Labrador retrievers.
