Coincidence, or is fiction becoming fact? A Liverpool man reported seeing balls of light floating above Merseyside this week. The UFOs were seen throughout the region with no explanation at present. Weather balloons aren’t normally seen in this area and only 3 are launched in England at any one time by the Met Office.
I have an explanation. The UFOs, balls of light, are none other than the enigmatic spheres from my scifi book, by a Exit, Pursued by a Bee. Excellent!

So they’re from your book! I’ve seen spheres in the Chichester area on 3 occasions. Others have seen them too, so it’s not just me imagining things. Last year apparently the RAF sent along a jet to investigate.

I wrote my Abandoned story for Twisted Tails III anthology; it was set in a tower crane that collapsed. A month later a NYC tower crane collapsed.
When my Escaping Reality thriller was published, which involved drug dealing in Maryport, police raided and made arrests there within a year.
I’m thinking of writing a story where I win the lottery…

Coincidences – God being lazy? Or proof that we are all living in a computer and the programmers reused a lot of code?
I bought a UFO kite from the Science Museum and flew it in a field next to the motorway. After about 30 mins a helicopter came and hovered overhead. Somebody must have reported it as a sighting. (I haven’t done it since.)

You remind me, Dave. I launched a fixed weather balloon in 1976 for my MSc climatology research with pupils from Colne Valley High School, West Yorkshire. I had permission from the Civil Aviation Authority and had to inform the local airfield and police because the balloon was being raised and lowered up to 1,000 metres. The evening newspaper and local radio reported UFO sightings. The next day, The Huddersfield Examiner ran a piece on me, the students and a photo of our UFO balloon.
