I’VE been very taken of late with the idea of human contact with intelligent extraterrestrials.
However, I remain a bit wary of raising the subject because it is regarded as a crankish and outlandish.
But look here, I am no crackpot conspiracy theorist.
And before considering (as many writers before me have done) what ETs (if they exist) might be like, I want to pause first to consider how extraordinary we humans are...

I’VE always been a fairly healthy, if not particularly energetic, sort of guy.
Never had any major health problems … until now.
When I was younger, like most men, I considered myself to be and acted as if I was … immortal.
But just a few days ago I was gripped by the most ferocious headache that left me reeling and staggering about.
It was so bad I had to be taken to Arrowe Park Hospital near Birkenhead where they did all sorts of tests and a brain scan on me.
Yes, they found a brain, thank you.
