The Space Pen Club: Synopsis
Fascinating People in a Variety of Unexpected Locations and a Lifelong Quest to Explore the Deeper Issues of Consciousness -- Inspired by the Many Members of The Space Pen Cub and the Close Encounters of the 5th Kind Initiative
In The Space Pen Club, a former music journalist turned public relations pro takes a side hustle into the “paranormal” world where he is heavily schooled in the ways of the sprawling UFO realms, including Close Encounters of the 5th Kind (human-initiated contact) and eventually public disclosure efforts to establish the reality of the ET presence.
Martin Keller’s timely memoir and insider's story is set among an array of fascinating people in a variety of locations, including the volcano zone of Mexico, New York City, Boston, an Indian reservation in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Washington, D.C., and sundry UFO hot spots. But it also features close encounters with other phenomena and topics, including quantum entanglement, synchronicity, the Tarot, psychotronic weapons, crop circles, stigmata, remote viewing, precognition, Fisher Space Pen technology, and the Star Knowledge of the Lakota Sioux and other First Nation tribes.
Written in the colorful, engaging style that characterized the author’s previous writing about popular culture and the informed sensibility that underscores his ongoing work in public relations, The Space Pen Club boldly challenges the writer’s -- and the reader’s – idea of reality, while trying to define, understand and make contact with what he humorously calls “the boys upstairs,” without tripping over the many agendas, complexities and other earthly barriers that stand in the way.

Even before former journalist and current public relations professional, Martin Keller, fell into the "UFO ghetto" as director of PR for the highly controversial Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI) and its world-renowned founder, Dr. Steven Greer, MD, he experienced a barrage of seemingly inexplicable paranormal events inside his home - and head.
Chapter Outline:
Not just “another UFO book.” Rather it is a rarity among the thousands of books and other media given the author's voice, first-hand experiences and encounters, and his insights and insider status.
The Space Pen Club stems from the writer's camaraderie with college classmates that comprised The Space Pen Club, a mostly tie-dyed collection of self-made Merry Pranksters who capriciously turned the Fischer Pen company's advanced line of Space Pens ("the first pen to write in space!") into a symbolic icon, representing self-exploration, cosmic consciousness and communication, transcendence (and the occasional quest for beer, girls, tuneage and controlled substances).

Book Summary
The Space Pen Club is written as much – or even more so -- for those who don’t know anything about this perplexing subject. From Close Encounters of the 5th Kind in unusual geographical locations to high strangeness episodes in his own home, Martin Keller’s multi-layered memoir about this cluttered Cosmic Highway ultimately, but not surprisingly, captures the most dangerously alienated and magnificent outliers in the known universe confronting its place in the cosmos —humanity itself.
