A.D. After Disclosure

The eBooks Are Coming!

Finally, after a long, frustrating wait, a transformational creative product is being offered for sale by a top on-line retailer of digital media.

No, sorry, we're not talking about The Beatles catalogue coming to iTunes.

We're talking about A.D. After Disclosure coming to Amazon as a Kindle book. Since the hardcover edition first started shipping to buyers on October 25, we've received a lot of interest from readers who wanted to get their Kindles, Nooks, iBooks and Sony Readers loaded up with A.D.

We've been taking our time to get the adaptation right, there are always a few bugs, but now they are worked out and the book is up, first, on Amazon as a Kindle. We have a dedicated Kindle and a Kindle for iPad application, for example, and have taken it for a test ride on both. 

By next week, you will also find it available across the board in all e-formats. We have great affection for the hardcover -- there is just something about the physical handling of a book, and the cover by graphic artist Nancy Tokos is striking -- but the content reads the same in digital, and the content here is what we're most proud of.

Our hardcover always remains available at Keyhole Publishing as well as Amazon. When you buy the hardcover from Keyhole, you get a signed edition, plus a free download of "Need-to-Know: The UFO Disclosure Song" (which, like The Beatles, is also available from iTunes).

But if you need to have it RIGHT NOW... and you need to go get it right this second from Amazon... then here it is!

New Trailer from A.D. After Disclosure

During the run-up to publication of A.D. After Disclosure, there were several video trailers produced, each one with a slightly different emphasis.Together they received over 20,000 views on Youtube and an unknown number when uploaded to our Facebook page (which has over 2,300 "likes" as we speak).

Now we've taken them and mashed them up into one single updated trailer. The old publication date is gone and new images from the book itself substitute now for the previous temp art. If you haven't seen it before, it's a good way to spend a few minutes.

If you like the song -- "Need-to-Know: The UFO Disclosure Song" -- you can get an MP3 of it from iTunes. It was composed and performed by talented LA rocker Cherish Alexander who did work on the TV series, "The Crow: Stairway to Heaven."

The Lyrics of Disclosure

"Need-to-Know" was composed, performed and produced in 2010 as an anthem for activists who are working to bring about UFO/ET reality. You can hear the song and read more about the story behind its creation at the UFO Disclosure Song website. Right now, however, we thought we'd let you see the lyrics unadorned.

 

I'm ready to be told
Time for secrets to unfold
It's our time to come of age
Time for truth to turn the page

Wanna be inside the dark
 Live within a question mark
 Be a friend or foe
 Tell me now
 Need to know

You say we must wait our turn
You say too much to learn
You say cover-up is fine
It's your plan, not mine

I'm ready to be told
Time for secrets to unfold
It's our time to come of age
Time for truth to turn the page 

Wanna be inside the dark
Live within a question mark
Be a friend or foe
Tell me now
Need to know
Need to know

 You say it will blow my mind
 You say it will change Mankind
 You say things will fall apart
 No more fear, that's from my heart

Can we see the future, disclose the past?
Need to know
Can we live together with shades of gray?
Need to know
Look all around, are we alone?
We need to know

We say, now is the time
We say, this is the plan
We say, we need to know

The world really does need to know. And it's going to, sooner or later. When that happens, finally, we'll be living in the A.D. world. Until then... we keep taking the message out there any way we can...

The Poetry of Disclosure

We know Disclosure is a serious matter but there are many ways to express our feelings. We've written a book, Cherish Alexander recorded a song, this blog has its own way of looking at the debate. Submitted for your approval now, a poem, World Lonely Gone. 

 

It comes to us from Vince White, a long-time analyst and researcher of the topic of UFOs, and the author of numerous articles in print and online. During last week's dust-up over the issue of UFOs, nuclear weapons and the truthfulness of key Malmstrom witnesses, Vince posted a comment on the site in the form of a poem which we feature now.

Truth Seekers, Disclosure's Spring is near,

its hints and clues, daily design a dawn

a sunrise cosmic bundled with hope and fear

the end of childhood, and world lonely gone

a morning so bright, a world awakes, 

which bird heralded spring

Echo or Oscar will be forgot

as galaxy alarm clock loudly does ring

We like it. Thanks, Vince.

Special Offer: Free Disclosure Song for All Book Pre-Orders

We want to give you a free MP3 copy of Need-to-Know: The UFO Disclosure Song that is currently selling on iTunes.

The math and the logic are compelling. The more pre-orders of A.D. After Disclosure that Keyhole Publishing receives, the larger its initial print order can be. The larger the print order, the more books that will be available to get to readers this year. The more readers, the faster this important conversation about the post-Disclosure world can spread.

Still, we know that no one, especially in this sour economy, wants to spend their hard-earned money even a few weeks ahead of time without a good reason. So now -- besides the fact that when you pre-order your book it gets shipped immediately when it arrives from the printers -- you will also have a copy of this powerful musical anthem for Disclosure. Need-to-Know was composed, performed and produced in 2010 as an anthem for activists who are working to bring about UFO/ET reality. You can read more about the song, its lyrics and the artists (like the very talented composer/performer Cherish Alexander) who came together to produce it at the UFO Disclosure Song website.

 

Every advance purchase (before October 25) of "A.D. After Disclosure: The People's Guide to Life After Contact" includes a free MP3 download of "Need-to-Know: The UFO Disclosure Song."

If you have already pre-ordered your copy of the book, we will be sending you the instructions by email for your free song within the next week. If you order between now and October 20, you'll get the instructions within a few days of your order.

If you'd like to hear the song first, you can play it in this YouTube video. The sound quality is very good, but not as great as it is as the 256 kbps MP3 you'll get from the download page. And it refers to our original shipping target date of September 23 when the actual date is now going to be October 25 . But it's still a pretty interesting video to watch.

If you want to know a bit more about the book itself, here is the link to read the Introduction to A.D. After Disclosure. As always, we thank you for considering a purchase of the book through the button below.

DARK SKIES: Emmy Winning Main Title Sequence

In anticipation of the January 18, 2011 U.S. release of Dark Skies on DVD by Shout!Factory, we want to feature the YouTube of the main title sequence. This work won the Emmy award for designer Mike Jones in 1997 in the "Outstanding Main Title Design" category. The music was composed by Michael Hoenig, as well as the short samples we use in between the main titles and at the end on this video. Michael was nominated for an Emmy for his work on the series, too. His music could be scary and suspenseful when it needed to, but it was tragic and elegiac when it needed to be, and so beautiful. It helped the entire series rise to a new level.

It's interesting to listen to Michael's music and watch the three versions in a row: the first is the one we ended up with and includes the classic "History is a lie" line, followed by "John, someone's coming!" and gunfire. The second one is just the instrumental, what was constructed by the title designers, the way we thought we'd might do it until we added the voice-over. The third one is the first version of the voice-over, different delivery and not nearly as strong, I think, as the one we ended up with. 

Check Out the A.D. AFTER DISCLOSURE Trailers

Our first promotional video has just debuted on Youtube and we want to invite you to give it a watch. The music is the trance-like instrumental background track of "Need-to-Know: The UFO Disclosure Song" as written and performed by Damian Valentine. The pictures come from the Hubble telescope.

We hope it will get you in the mood to read A.D. After Disclosure: The People's Guide to Life After Contact. We do know it has put both Rich and Bryce in the mood to write it!

Here are a couple of other links you may want to check out:

The Song's MP3 on iTunes.

We have a second trailer, as well, this one uses the full "Need-to-Know" song complete with lyrics and some very interesting classic UFO photos.

If You Still Need-to-Hear... NEED-TO-KNOW...

Since May 10 when Richard talked about NEED-TO-KNOW: The UFO Disclosure Song during his speech at the National Press Club for the X-Conference, the hits just keep coming. 

Fans of the song have "cloned" it on YouTube and spread it around, including on hundreds of their own sites. We figure if you count up all those YouTube versions, plus the ones spreading around on Facebook, plus the ones that came in on the UFO Disclosure Song website, it's probably over 10,000 views in two weeks total. That's for this version, the earlier one got pulled down and replaced. 

In any case, here is the latest "non-cloned" version, straight from Bryce's computer, with the alternate "Universe" photo ending that people seem to like. If you haven't already seen it, rather than end with UFO photos, it ends with images from Hubble that really do make the case visually that we're probably not alone, no matter what your thinking is on UFOs. Immediately below it is the same version, but with the "captioned lyrics" in case you want to see exactly what the words are as they're being sung.

Dolan @ X-Conference 2010

Richard spoke -- just two blocks away from the White House -- on May 10, 2010 as part of the X-Conference held in Washington, D.C. Previously, we had some poor quality video up from a camera shooting a TV monitor. But this is the good stuff and we've put some Easter eggs in there for you to look for, too.

Feel free to embed this in your own blogs. It's also up on our Facebook page.

Need-to-Know: The UFO Disclosure Song

The battle for UFO disclosure has been a political movement without a song for too long. To bring people together and create change, activists need an anthem that gives voice to their feelings through the powerful medium of music.

That's why A.D. co-author Bryce Zabel wrote and produced "NEED-TO-KNOW: The UFO Disclosure Song." We want you to hear it, then hopefully turn your friends on to it. If enough of us start talking to others about what it means, we may just change the world.

 

You can visit the website dedicated to the song at www.ufodisclosuresong.com and hear a short clip and read more about how it came to be produced.
