ANDREW HENNESSEY
- SHORT BIOGRAPHY
Andrew Hennessey, born 1957, Edinburgh, Scotland, has been interested in the UFO phenomenon from a very early age, having had many encounters and experiences, which he wrote of in his free ebook The Turning of the Tide.
See http://www.andrewhennessey.co.uk/turningv6.pdf
He has been involved in radio, e.g. Jeff Rense and Nightsearch, and his work has been featured on the Discovery and History channel TV programmes. His alien farming theories, http://www.Xenopolitics.com have been published in various books and articles.

He operates a Tour in his native Scotland called www.StargateEdinburghTours.com
This tour draws from the extensive folklore and archaeological records that illustrate an ongoing alien/faerie presence under the city of Edinburgh and its surrounding districts.
Andrew was instrumental in bringing the alleged alien base at Gorebridge, near Edinburgh, to light. The extraordinary nature of the reported activity there and its social implications appears to attract interest from covert human and alien agencies including the MiB. See http://www.youtube.com/outshore For the witness accounts search for Gorebridge on http://www.offtheplanet.blogspot.com and also see the footage of Jackie Gillies at http://www.youtube.com/skywatcherscotland
There are also several recent Gorebridge witnesses now currently reporting on the facebook site EdinburghUFO
Andrew is also a professional musician, storyteller and colorist and has recently re-invented tartan as Startan.
