Afterwards, it was as if a great switch had been thrown and the majority of my main contacts ceased correspondences. The interview had come off very well and the traffic through my web presence was immense. I virtually tutored hundreds of people on-line, concerning my research, on a personal basis. It was nearly a full-time job to accomplish all that was entailed.

That summer, I got a part in the American remake of 'Godzilla - 1998.' I was also making the rounds on the SCI-FI conventions circuit, when it came near L.A. I met some people at those functions that I will never forget.

In the fall, I got to interview for, and was subsequently given a part as a 'Hirogen Hunter' lizard/man space alien, on the television series "StarTrek: Voyager." I found it ironic. And again, it is rather hard to explain later at the UFO conferences. It's no more outlandish that the rest of all of this. Both my Hollywood history and the UFO findings are simultaneously true.

To me, the true miracle would not be the existence of UFOs - or even a way to continuously study them. The breakthrough would have to come from the humans. Profit and notoriety would have to come second and these types of research would have to be pursued with cooperation. We simply lack such abilities. And, mark my word! Until in-fighting within the UFO community ceases, the answer of the UFOs will not be given. It will remain 'business as usual.' It will be the 'labor day telethon' of the paranormal. Decades later, we still will be looking for an answer.

Behind the scenes, certain individuals continue to take great strides. There are folks out there that are recording video sequences on any given day. You may not hear of them, or maybe later you'll see some of their video stills pictures in an old cyber-space archive. But, they are out there. Each adds to the mountainous pile of reviewable pictures of UFOs that are available on the Internet alone.

The earliest photograph taken of a UFO, that researchers have found, was that of an astronomer named Jose YA Bonilla, on August 12, 1883. The man was at a solar observatory in an obscure place called Zacatecas, north of Mexico City. He was taking pictures of the sun when he discovered that displaced objects were showing up on his film plates. Since then, tens-of-thousands of images of UFOs have come and gone. All it would take is for just one of them to not be a mistake, a misidentification or a hoax.

My projected model of this situation; in my opinion, is that one or a group of images won't still constitute 'proof' of the existence of UFOs. As neither the government nor the media seems to want to take the subject seriously, we have the 'grass roots' approach as another option. If a group of 10,000 people got results on a 'UFO Out' - that would carry more weight. And one day, it may come down to something like that. But I think that many people would have to evolve a bit to coordinate such things.

I have spoken many times of this in the past. It was actually not what I saw on the videos that prompted me to look more closely at what was above me. It was what I saw in the skies that motivated me to go find someone with a video camera. I didn't own one. I went out and found interested people and got them involved. Believe me, seeing something extraordinary with another person is a tremendous bonding experience. Nothing beats getting the hell scared out of you with a friend.

I've long felt that, if you open a figurative 'window' into another realm, it also stands to reason that those on the other side of it are going to feel a draft. It has the potential to be a 'careful what you wish for' proposition. I cannot tell you how many times that I have wished that these higher elements of being were not real. Things were much simpler when I was ignorant of it all. It hasn't been fun or cool. One must endure a lot of hard work and even more ridicule. And there is always the risk that a person might 'pull on the wrong tiger's tail.' A person truly needs to ask themselves if they even want their knowledge of the world to change.

Then a person may even go so far as to start investigating other peripheral subjects as well. And if people were to realize the probable interconnections of the disciplines, they could elevate the process. To actually see phenomenal things, even just once, can change your mind. It can also change your life.

Initially, I experienced the denial defense mechanism myself. But the pure potential of the experiment carried me irresistibly onward. I was also mostly drenched in the fear of it. To top it all off, I was having repeated memories of past 'dreams' that were disconcerting, to say the least. It all related to the subject at hand.

I developed into being much more observant of my surroundings and also, who is around me. I pay more attention to how I feel at a location. I compare it to surviving a sizeable quake. Afterwards, it is inevitable that you will come to a moment where you feel betrayed by Earth itself. And you would never be able to look at it the same way again. I have been through a 'big one' also. It truly is not an unreasonable comparison; the trauma of enduring a major temblor, versus having ones' core paradigm systems dismantled. Now a person would never look at the sky the same way again. They would not even look at themselves the same way.

By 1999, I had pretty much walked away from the machine that is modern Ufology. A person could possess invaluable evidence, yet they could still very well be ignored by the media if they did not have the political connections. Although engineers and scholars have examined it for years, Ufology is not a science, and it is not a discipline. It is a hobby, or it is a business. I believe that greatly needs to change. The Internet was/is an irreplaceable tool. It is a revolutionary advantage in publishing.

This brings us 'full circle' to the beginning of this article. The Internet is the most accessible and broad-based audience potential available to an average citizen. And if you already have a computer set-up and connected, your costs are limited to whatever it takes for you to produce and 'publish' a webpage.

Directing people to hyperlinks of pages made by others, of items from years ago - and with no updates, was driving me crazy. And no one could tell my story, with pictures, with video, music and written articles, better than I. SKYMONSTERS Inc was quickly turned into WWW.Johnbro.com. It is the culmination of all of my works, on-line. Therein lies the most thorough compilation of supporting materials concerning the history of 'Solar Obliteration' AKA 'John Bro Technique.'

My favorite part of the website is entitled; "Pictures from other cities." That page is an on-going diary in pictures, sent in by people who took the challenge and found out the truth of this for themselves. I consider it my crowning achievement that others would follow through and get involved.

Anyone that has had a true and unrelenting desire for an answer to this UFO question should seriously consider becoming a part of the pursuit of it. There are countless opinions on the subject of witnessing a UFO event. 'Solar Obliteration' is a good place to start, but it is just one of many ways. Pursue information on all of them as much as possible. It is also advisable that a person become well-versed in the folklore of the genre. Again, there are many interconnections.

When in public, I make it a point to not initiate discussion of the subject. Still, it is surprising how often it comes up. Now, I simply forward folks to my website. It saves me hours of jabbering and the pictures, music, animations & videos tell the story far better than I. Having saved every scrap over the years, I am now in the process of loading much of it onto the web. It still remains fun and exhausting. But I feel a need to make it available for people to see. This story has never been as complete as it is at 'Johnbro.com.'
