There's Something on the Shore

Hi everyone (from across the pond)—first post here, so go easy on me!

I’ve been fascinated by the recent resurgence in UFO/UAP interest. From where I’m sitting in the UK, it feels like every other documentary Netflix throws at me is about the phenomenon (though that might say more about my viewing habits than anything else…).

I’m a sci-fi obsessive, but recently finished In Plain Sight by Ross Coulthart, which gave me a nudge to finally explore an idea that’s been bouncing around in my head for a while.

They’re not from space. They’re from Earth.

Hear me out—what if it is something Earth-based, much older than us, maybe deep under the sea?
Yes, I know—it raises a million questions. But honestly, it feels more plausible to me than “another planet.”

Instead of writing a weird paper on a weird idea, I decided to turn it into a kind of fictional personal account—a short story written as if it really happened. Called 'There's Something on the Shore.'

It’s now available on Kindle under the pen name by[REDACTED], but mostly I just wanted to share the concept with people who are genuinely interested in this topic. If anyone here wants a free PDF copy, I’d be happy to send one over. Not pushing anything—just curious if the idea resonates.

Would also love to hear your thoughts on the broader concept: what if these things are part of our world, and we’re the new kids on the block?

Cheers!
 
Hey, thanks for the response. I'm working my way through the episodes.
It's a fascinating angle that doesn't get the same airtime as the 'off-world' narrative.

The book itself is just a short fictional account—more of a thought experiment than a sci-fi epic.

Appreciate the kind words, though.

Cheers
 
It’s a fascinating subject for sure 👍 The back issues of Paracast episodes are an unparalleled resource for learning and contain literally many days of listening pleasure. Many of the ufoclassic guests and two of the co-hosts are sadly no longer with us - so this subject will probably outlive us all without yielding its secrets 😂
With respect to Ross Coulthart - I was initially a great fan, but no longer - he seems to have joined the ranks of the ufo show business grifting community along with the likes of Lue & Co. But there again the subject has always attracted controversy over the decades. 🤷
 
Hi James. Yeah, I agree on Ross—the book wasn't too bad, but he sometimes seemed more interested in plugging the likes of Tom Delonge.
I started to think he was just actually a huge fan of Blink-182 and was hoping to get some tickets sent his way. 😂
 
Before I started listening to the Paracast in the early 2010s I was totally unaware of this theory. I think it's definitely more plausible than aliens from another planet visiting Earth, but I (clearly) am open to any theory.
 
Hey @BombPopCaper — really appreciate your take. That was pretty much my thinking too, which is what led me to write the story in the first place.

If you’re up for it, I’d be happy to send you a free PDF copy. It’s a short read, maybe a few hours at most, and I’d genuinely love to hear what you think of it.

Just let me know!
