John Hanson is a retired CID Officer in the West Midlands Police and first became interested in the UFO subject in January 1995, after colleagues sighted a UFO hovering over some trees. This was the trigger for his curiosity; prior to that the very mention of UFOs and 'flying saucers' was impossible for him to accept as having any reality in the modern world. The publication of ten plus Volumes of Haunted Skies which painstakingly catalogue thousands of reports of UFOs/close encounter experiences by the public from 1940 onward, is a project that John has been working on for many years. His objective is to educate the public and therefore he's published the books at his own expense since the inception of the project.
