Of all of the UFO Characters the most intriguing is one Marcus Martin, the founder of this system.

May we know a bit about you? age? Location? occupation? education? avocations?

I am watching "A question of Priorities"

What are you priorities Marcus?

PLEASE! tell us about yourself in some detail!

I'm just someone who happened to watch UFO at a young age -- 5th grade,
I think it was.  During the original US broadcast.  So that makes me... pretty
old... :-)

All the sci-fi TV back then led me into aerospace engineering, where
I worked as a "rocket scientist" for decades.  Until most of the rocket scientist
jobs moved to another part of the country, and I had to work on airplanes
instead.

I'm in the USA, pacific northwest - not exactly the best place to be for UFO fandom
(seems like London would be far better), but I guess my UFO website
and discussion groups started out as an exercise in technology, as they
both started in the mid 1990s.

P.S. A Question of Priorities is one of my favorite episodes.. :-)

You are an American! The general consensus was Irish, BTW.

And your personal priorities are?

Can you relate to John Straker in this episode?

How would anyone relate to Straker's son, exactly?

Son of film executive?

Rode on a firetruck?

Built a model boat?

Hit by a car?

Allergic to antibiotics?

Dead?

I can't relate to any of these things.  :-)
