Someone who looked twice

Who writes these books

I am Paul L. G. Harris. I live in the UK and work in technology, helping teams understand and sell AI and cloud platforms. I have been fascinated by the unknown since I was a boy staring up at the stars, and for years I read everything from Chariots of the Gods to Our Ancestors Came from Outer Space with an open mind, then went and checked what I could.

The L and the G in my name are for my two grandads, Leslie and George.

The more you look and question things the more you realise, actually no one knows. Why would, for example, ten of them be looked at as real but one like the Book of Enoch be dismissed as fiction? Makes no sense.

The reader should go away thinking, wow, this has really opened my mind and makes me kind of question everything. Trust no one. Look at it yourself, and ask yourself.

What the series does

Hidden in Plain Sight is eight books on subjects people argue about: the Book of Enoch, simulation theory, hidden codes, sacred plants, Nikola Tesla, ancient skies, Skinwalker Ranch and Bigfoot. Every chapter does three things, in the same order:

1. What the ancient text or source actually says.
2. What we know, including the sceptics and the scholars.
3. What I think it is really saying, marked clearly as my opinion.

Famous hoaxes and myths are called out, not used. If I cannot check a fact, it does not go in as a fact. I would rather lose an argument in a book than have a sceptic win it later.

How the books and this site are made

I use an AI model (Claude, by Anthropic) to help. The books are drafted with its help from my own research, notes and personal stories, then rewritten, checked and directed by me. A few sections are written by the AI itself as guest chapters, and each one is labelled as such. Some of the chapter illustrations are AI-generated, and the picture credits in each book say which. The cover art and diagrams are drawn in code.

The tests on this site are run by the AI on public data, because it can write and run the code far faster than I can, and one person can now check things that used to need a research team. I choose the question. The result is only as good as its sources, and every research page says how far it has been checked. I would rather tell you all this than have you find out.

The book on sacred plants contains no doses, no preparation and no sourcing. It is a history and a science book, not a guide.

Tell me I am wrong

That is a real invitation. There is a board called Claim Check for exactly that, and a contact form. If you are right, I will change the page and say so.
