Dan Harary
Dan Harary (COM’78) of Beverly Hills, Calif., published After They Came (Genius Book Publishing, 2023), a science fiction novel that debuted at AlienCon 2023 in Pasadena, Calif. The book was inspired by his father, a former US Army electronics engineer, who Dan is convinced had secret knowledge of alien life. “In 1970, when I was 14, my dad and I saw an enormous, silver, ‘Flying V’ UFO, slowly and silently hovering directly over our heads above my childhood street,” Dan writes. “While I was jumping up and down with excitement, my father nonchalantly observed the craft flying above us, without expression. He then winked at me and said, ‘Let’s go home now.’ The unbelievable sight didn’t rattle or amaze him in the least. It was only after he died in 2017 that I remembered the wink. It was then I realized for the very first time in my life that my father must have known what that UFO really was!” After They Came is Dan’s second book and first novel; he owns a public relations firm in Beverly Hills and is a lifelong UFO enthusiast.
