JT's UFO And Alien Story

UFOs, Aliens, and a Boy from New Mexico

Dear Friends,

I get many questions on the origins of my song: "Who's Watching?". So I've decided to share my story with you. I wrote "Who's Watching?" partly because of my fascination with UFOs and alien abduction phenomena and also because of my own unexplained experiences. This story varies somewhat from my account in the song, but nevertheless, the song was inspired by these experiences and the UFO genre.

I vividly remember stories of UFO sightings and encounters by such up-standing citizens as our own State Police. In Jr High, I heard the story of Barney and Betty Hill, the first widely publicized alien abductees who experienced lost time and later remembered being abducted.

I was filled with excitement and began searching the skies above our farm house for his reindeer and sleigh. I saw several lights in the sky: a cigar shaped light and several small round lights. I wondered if the cigar shaped light was Santa's Sleigh and the small lights were reindeer. But they abruptly disappeared and I was worried that Santa had missed us. Luckily, Santa didn't miss us; I got a red bike......, but I digress.... (Continued on page 2)
