Dec. 27th, 2004 When all of us almost died.

It came upon our planet and smacked our atmosphere square in the nose. Fortunately our atmosphere held strong. The object that did that was discovered in the 1970's. It was a flat disc estimated to be more than 10 miles across. And it fired upon our planet at a distance of over 50,000 light years away... Excerpt from a book I hope to launch by late 2023

6. So, you've taken the magnetar explosion that hit the earth in 2004 and are rewriting it

as a giant weapon, the 10 mile flat disc, fired at the earth from 50,000 light years away?

That's a pretty cool story - I'm intrigued at both the knowledge that would be needed to do such a thing, and also why folks on a planet so far away wanted to attack the earth.

I'd read it!

Interesting article on the magnetar - I don't remember ever reading anything about it, so I'm glad I know about it now. That's a hell of a blast! Holy crow.

7. But a minor distraction along the way!

Expect several dozen more incidents seemingly disconnected. I can't give you any more hints. Sorry!

Truly it was going to be my first book, but in researching I found way too much in one particular area and I will try to give "birth" to it by March.
