Are They Out There? by (ret.) Colonel Gene P. Abel
On the topic of Are They Out There, Colonel Gene says, “Until humanity reaches a level of technology to bypass the physical boundaries of light speed, the most we can do is look out at the stars and attempt to explore the planets around us.”
“Barring that,” Abel said, “we can only hope that an extraterrestrial species advanced enough to travel the stars comes to visit us and questions the possibility that Earth has already been visited by such beings.”
The world is filled with authentic sci-fi and fantasy aficionados, and Abel is certainly one of them. His massive interest in aliens and UFOs stems from his profound hope that “we can learn from them about both our past and what is in the universe,” he said. “I am fascinated by the idea that sci-fi may be a prediction of things to come and thus support the evidence in my UFO book of other intelligent life in the universe.”
Abel’s take on the Congressional hearings that are keeping the news outlets abuzz, is that “the pressure is mounting from more [UFO] sightings, and they appear to be opening the door a crack,” explained Abel. “Also, the encounters with our military are contributing to Congressional action.”
At a time when he could be relaxing, playing golf, or other joys of retirement, the 84-year-old Abel is happily getting to know scores of sci-fi fans and continuing to cement his legacy as an author and podcaster.
The question, “Are They Out There?” is not a new one. Since ancient times, humans have wondered about the potential of alien life. Between May 1, 2023, and June 1, 2024, alone, sightings of more than seven hundred unidentified aerial phenomena were reported, and twenty-one of these cases are still under investigation. They can’t be explained by common objects.
In Are They Out There? retired Colonel Gene P. Abel sifts through the accounts of military professionals and eyewitnesses alike in search of the truth about extraterrestrial visitors. Discover what Colonel Abel has uncovered and what the government might not be telling us in this gripping new look at the history and potential future impact of UFOs and alien contact.
