“Kate from Illinois” writes: I share many of the experiences that you have encountered throughout your life. I am close in age, having been born in 1948 in Lake Forest, Illinois. For most of my life I made a modest living in “show biz” through theater, commercials, film and TV. After my second husband left me, I changed professions. I am currently a freelance journalist. I have four children, two boys and two girls. My oldest son and I have read most of your books and still talk about our experiences (that continue for him). My oldest daughter’s fate regarding the “Others” is that of Anne’s. My second son has had experiences since he was a baby and used to call the grays K-Monsters. My youngest doesn’t believe in UFOs. Yet.

The sun is in the most unusual state that has ever been observed. At a time when it should be recording greatly diminished sunspot activity, the most active sunspot ever observed has just finished crossing its face. The largest solar flare ever recorded–by far–exploded out of this sunspot on November 4.

This extraordinary event wasn’t headline news. In fact, it didn’t even make the back pages of most papers and news websites, let alone the broadcast news. Unknowncountry, Earthfiles and the NASA and NOAA sites were the only places where it was really featured as a major news item.

Imagine his surprise when a reader wrote to him about her meeting with a vampire in Manhattan when she was a young working girl. Alas, she gave him the brush off, or else her life might have been much different.

Want to retrieve elusive memories?maybe remember what happened during “missing time?” The best way to do this is to get a good night’s sleep. If the brain has time to “digest” the memories laid down during the day, they will be easier to remember later.

When researchers from the University of Chicago asked volunteers to remember simple words, they tended to forget them as the day wore on. However, the people who slept well that night could remember many more of them the next day. When the brain is first asked to remember something, that memory is laid down in an “unstable” state, meaning it can be lost. But when we sleep, the brain consolidates the memories it has decided are important into a more permanent state.
