Book excerpt: Sailor's Anthology is a fictionalized account of the now famous NIMITZ TIC TAC UFO encounter that happened in November 2004 off the coast of San Diego, California. In 2008 when I wrote the story, many involved were still in active duty. I chose to fictionalize the historical record in the effort to protect the identities of those still serving. Why did I write the story? After retiring from the United States Navy earlier that year, memories of the encounter continued to trouble me greatly. When I did try to tell others my story, I could tell that nobody really believed me or they believed there had to be a more prosaic explanation.Not knowing what else to do, I wrote these short stories and self-published them in the Library of Congress as a way to hide in plain sight what has now become contemporaneous evidence of the actual event. It was my hope then that if the TIC TAC encounter ever did become public, my book might serve as evidence now. My plan worked. You now hold in your hands a piece of history itself.About the AuthorKevin M. Day is a 21 year Navy veteran. Serving his entire career in San Diego and Hawaii, he completed 8 Western Pacific Deployments and visited many of the countries that touch the sea between the West Coast of the United States and the Middle East.Retired from active duty in November 2007, he works as a Systems Engineer from his home in Phoenix, Arizona. He is pursuing in Master of Science degree in Systems Engineering and writes short stories in his spare time.

Book The Sailor s Bookshelf

    Book Details:
  • Author : James Stavridis
  • Publisher : Naval Institute Press
  • Release : 2021-12-15
  • ISBN : 1682477169
  • Pages : 214 pages

Download or read book The Sailor s Bookshelf written by James Stavridis and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2021-12-15 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Admiral Stavridis, a leader in military, international affairs, and national security circles, shares his love of the sea and some of the sources of that affection. The Sailor's Bookshelf offers synopses of fifty books that illustrate the history, importance, lore, and lifestyle of the oceans and of those who “go down to the sea in ships.” Stavridis colors those descriptions with glimpses of his own service—“sea stories” in popular parlance—that not only clarify his choices but show why he is held in such high esteem among his fellow sailors. ​Divided into four main categories—The Oceans, Explorers, Sailors in Fiction, and Sailors in Non-Fiction—Admiral Stavridis’ choices will appeal to “old salts” and to those who have never known the sights of the ever-changing seascape nor breathed the tonic of an ocean breeze. The result is a navigational aid that guides readers through the realm of sea literature, covering a spectrum of topics that range from science to aesthetics, from history to modernity, from solo sailing to great battles. ​Among these eclectic choices are guides to shiphandling and navigation, classic fiction that pits man against the sea, ecological and strategic challenges, celebrations of great achievements and the lessons that come with failure, economic competition and its stepbrother combat, explorations of the deep, and poetry that beats with the pulse of the wave. Some of the included titles are familiar to many, while others, are likely less well-known but are welcome additions to this encompassing collection. Admiral Stavridis has chosen some books that are relatively recent, and he recommends other works which have been around much longer and deserve recognition. ​
