Operation Starlight: a Starbright Novel

Captain Hunter, United States Army Intelligence, assigned to a covert psychic group out of Fort Mead, Maryland. His unit, kept separate and secret from the psychic remote viewing operation currently on base.

Captain Hunter disappeared without a trace while on an unauthorized mission.

On July 4, 1996, the Hunter family was informed. His identical twin sons Joe and Frank, were eleven years old.

While a teenager, Joe sustained injury in a skateboard competition rendering him paraplegic. Frank became a detective in the Hackensack, New Jersey police department. Frank came late into learning that he possessed psy-skills like his brother.

Joe was about to give up on life when two men arrived at the Hunter home.

The men in black recruited the young man into a program that would change his life forever. To function again without his physical body was unbelievable—to walk, run, and even fly was worth everything.

Joe trained at home, and then moved to the main facility… SciMi, where he joined a team of adept psychic individuals like himself. The participants in the program… called MOPITs (Mind OPerator Internal Terrestrial).

Murders were committed, mob investigations conducted, Frank Hunter’s abduction to China and Angel’s abduction to Russia, along with the escape and evasion of each.

The prime-objective of all nations involved—to take possession of an ancient flying craft of great power.

Extraterrestrials both hostile and friendly played their cards.

An extraterrestrial ultimatum.

A battle ensued.

A choice made.

Would the human race survive this final ultimatum?

Operation Starlight… about the cover.

Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Cape Canaveral Florida
“We are locked on and tracking the target, sir. The
craft left Bristol, Tennessee at hyper-speed and
slowed significantly below its alleged capabilities. The
trajectory, while now too soon to mark, plots a
straight course at our Sun. The large unidentified flying
object left Tennessee and presently trails the
Vimana approximately by two hundred miles.”
“Have you verified with our other stations,
Sergeant?”
“Yes, Colonel, and they are affirmative, sir. We
checked with China’s Swakopmund, the Southwest
African station and Moscow, reports the same trajectory
and reduced speed. It is almost as if the spacecraft
are waiting for something.”
“Whoa ... ”
“What is it, Sergeant?” The operation control officer
moved behind the Sergeant and leaned in to see the
screen better.”
“Moscow reports at least two hundred unidentified
craft stalking the lead vessels. They state more arrive
by the minute. What kind of system does Moscow
have, we don’t?”
“Here we go ... Guam’s Dan Dan picked up the
sighting, and ... wait a minute. He said they are making
adjustments to their equipment. Okay, they are
back. There are a lot of smaller spaceships trailing
the lead two, Colonel. What do you make of it?”
“I don’t know. I think it’s time to make a few calls to
Washington.”
“Roger that,
