It’s been a bit of a blur since the book came out and reviews are now being published so I just wanted to thank some of those who’ve been kind enough to support my first foray into the world of publishing!
So here’s a post from Carlos over at his blog Videa which can be found at:
http://videa.com.ar/blog/2013/04/15/qa-with-colin-hall/
He made a comment about Bob Lazar, something that never crossed my mind when researching the book.
It’s here! I’m pleased to announce that my book, which researches the reports of Mark Collins and the so-called 1of26 diary is now available to buy directly from the publisher at this link:
http://www.markosia.com/titles/fact-or-fiction/
I can confirm that Fact or Fiction will be available in paperback form from Amazon as of April 1st.
More info can be found at the following link:
More info very soon about digital format release dates and thanks for all your patience!

As we get ever nearer to the publishing of my book (the final manuscript is now in with the publisher!) I wanted to share something that was put together by someone who regularly corresponds with me on Twitter about the subject matter.
Debs, whose Twitter account is @NearlyHere put the map together having researched the coordinates listed on the @1of26 feed, one of the many items I’ve been researching for my book.
The 1of26 feed is erratic, and in fact stopped posting anything about a year ago. What it does post is mainly locations, references to people in the world of science or even historical literature and then a reference to John Titor – this man was an alleged time traveler from the early 00′s.
Nothing makes much sense as you will see from the screen shot of the final few tweets I’ve enclosed.
But the locations make even less sense and with Debs’ help you will see all manner of locations with no particular pattern – unless anyone out there can come up with some kind of logical suggestion?
One Tweet of note suggests that ‘Steve’ knows someone going by the name Charley Sandford & that person likes a restaurant called The Galley – the link goes to an actual restaurant – but no one would comment on these alleged guests having set foot in the place.
My book will explain more of what I found out and also probably opens up the debate as to what this actually could be; is it a cover up, hoax or something else more sinister but in the meantime it’s worth looking at these locations to see if they make any sense. This posting from a blogger in Argentina called Carlos is worth a read as it sets out a lot of the background to my book - ‘The Double Crash‘.
Here’s the images prepared by Debs for review:
More info about my book can be found at this page – http://www.markosia.com/titles/fact-or-fiction/
I am finally nearing the completion of my book and Markosia shall be publishing it in December.
To be honest, it’s more of an investigative journal and in many respects seems to open as many doors as it closes; I think I said this before!
Inside you will find the book is full of images depicting what I think may have happened at the alleged crash scenes, backgrounds into certain locations such as the Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital in Paris and also the nuclear bunker in Cheshire that may have been used as an interview room along with plenty of photographs I have taken on my travels to the various locations.
Also I have put forward some hypotheses into the 1of26 blog and Twitter feed and what connections may exist between Mark Collins and the other people he mentions in his reports.
There are some expert opinions from people such as Nick Pope, the renowned investigator into UFO reports who has worked for the Ministry of Defence and comment from those who published the initial Mark Collins reports.
In truth I am still working on the final pages as I write this and relaying details to the illustrator who is helping me put together some finishing touches to the alleged crash scenes I’ve tried to piece together from the reports.
I am still trying to crack the code, and as this will be available digitally as well as in physical form I know there will be some final additions in the coming weeks.
I will post here, on Twitter and Facebook the date the book is to be published and also any more information I gather from people once it is available.
Thanks

Alan Godfrey with a drawing of the craft (credit:Evans & Stacy)
Since I launched myself into the world of the conspiracy theory I have been amazed by the amount of fervent debate from both sides of the fence; from those either trying to prove or disprove.
Almost any online search about conspiracy theories throws up a huge amount of web sites promising to debunk or support some of the most famous incidents such as Roswell, Big Foot, who really built the pyramids and of course famous assassinations such as JFK.
But many are fact light and laden with unsupported claims and theories that would probably sit well in a Hollywood film rather than on a site claiming to have a basis in fact.
Time is a great proving ground for conspiracy theories and the recent releases by the UK government of their UFO files dating from 1965 to 2008 only add further fuel to fan the flames of some believers who talk of sightings being covered up and blurred by concerted disinformation campaigns.
Of course, the more that people try to dispute or debunk a particular incident the more people will inevitably cry foul & level accusations of cover-ups, disinformation campaigns and the burying of evidence.
However to me the as yet unanswered case of Alan Godrey who talks of being abducted by aliens in Todmorden, West Yorkshire is one of the most interesting cases of the past few decades.
The Alan Godfrey story is all the more perplexing because of the initial investigation into the discovery of the body of Zigmund Adamski on top of a pile of coal that led to the alleged abduction described by Godfrey.
Forensic scientists who examined the body of Adamski were never able to identify a gel-like substance they found around the back of his neck near some burn marks.
They were also at odds when trying to justify the location of his body or also the state of his clothing.

Of all the mysterious reports of UFO or alien encounters I have come across so far researching my book this one is the most puzzling and remains a mystery to this day.
It reminded me of the incident that was reported in Paris I am researching as part of my book.
That spoke of someone allegedly breaking into a morgue and being caught trying to inject dead bodies with a substance; immediately my mind asked the questions how did this person get into the morgue and why would you inject a dead body?
Like the Alan Godfrey incidents, sometimes it is difficult trying to come up with a rational, logical answer that satisfies our curiosity.
Thanks
Colin
