Andrew Collins
From 2012 Wiki
After an uneventful school career, in which he was banned from taking the English O-level exam because of his poor writing ability, Collins eagerly accepted a position working as an export shipping clerk in London. His childhood interest of esoteric mysteries led to him becoming a UFO investigator, in which he would interview witnesses and file reports with national organisations. In 1976 he became well-known within the punk movement, forming his own band and going to gigs with the likes of novelist and NME writer Tony Parsons and Irish pal Shane McGowan, who went on to form The Pogues. At the same time, Andrew continued to investigate UFO cases, including the infamous Aveley abduction, the 1st complete time-loss UFO experience reported in Britain. This led him to meet writer/psychologist Graham Phillips, who was working as a parapsychologist.
Andrew quit his musical career and became a staff writer alongside Phillips for the magazine Strange Phenomena. In October 1979, Collins and Phillips became embroiled in a historical drama, which would be remembered as the Green Stone affair -- an event that would kick-start the rebirth of psychic questing in the modern era.
Andrew has since written various books and booklets on psychic questing, local history and the earth mysteries whilst also making himself something of a name as an occult maverick. He had great success with his book From the Ashes of Angels (1996), the culmination of five years' work on the Grigori and Nephilim. Since then he has written five more books.
His most recent book, The Cygnus Mystery (2006), claims that cosmic rays from the Cygnus constellation were responsible for the formation of early religions and civilizations at the end of the last Ice Age.
Collins lectures worldwide, and is the organiser of the annual Questing Conference, one of Britain's most popular annual events on revisionist history, forbidden archaeology and ancient mysteries. He lives in Essex with his wife Sue.
