Alternate Perceptions Magazine Brent Raynes became fired up about the UFO subject back in 1966 after reading a copy of Flying Saucers - Serious Business by Frank Edwards. Beginning in January 1967, at age 14, Brent began collecting newspaper stories, magazine articles and books about the phenomenon. Initially his only question was - are they extraterrestrial? Before long though he became aware of intriguing alternative possibilities after reading the writings of authors like John Keel, Jacques Vallee, and Brad Steiger. By 1969 he was corresponding and swapping his newsletter Scientific Sauceritis Review with Keel for his Anomaly newsletter, Lucius Farish's newspaper clippings, Gray Barker's publication, etc. Brent eventually authored three books of his own: Visitors From Hidden Realms (2004), On The Edge of Reality (2009), and John A. Keel: The Man, The Myths, and the Ongoing Mysteries (2019). It's been a long and thought-provoking journey. Connected with many great people over the years. Heard many fascinating stories. 53 years later, Brent still doesn't possess the definitive answer to it all, but feels that it's much more complex and perplexing than he and so many others initially believed.
