Maybe you'll understand once I tell you what I've been going through...
First there was the "swamp gas" thing. I came up with 6 1/2 possible explanations for why Dr. Hynek said at a fateful March, 1966 press conference that the UFOs sighted the previous week in Michigan might have been swamp gas. Some of the explanations were demonstrably false, one was clearly an attempt at disinformation by the no-goodniks at the U.S. Air Force, but several of them were credible and I needed to explore them all.
What could I do? It's all about the truth, and the truth takes time.
Then there was the whole thing about why Hynek decided to be an astronomer. Was it because his mother read him a book about astronomy when he was 7 years old and sick in bed with scarlet fever, or because as a student he became fascinated by the hermetic writings of Max Heindel, Manly Hall and Rudolf Steiner?

So, what I'm trying to say is this: If I'm not here writing cool stuff about UFOs for my blog, it's because I'm writing cool stuff about UFOs for my book, so it's all good.
But I will try to be better about writing here more regularly, because the blog is, truly, my first love.
