Andy Thomas
Author and Founder of Vital Signs Publishing
Andy Thomas is one of England's most prolific authors and lecturers on unexplained mysteries, and speaks widely in the UK and abroad.
Andy is author of five books exploring the unexplained, including the acclaimed Vital Signs: A Complete Guide to the Crop Circle Mystery (1998, revised 2002), which has been described by many as the definitive guide to the subject and was nominated for Kindred Spirit magazine's 2002 best book award.
Andy's other books on mysteries include Fields of Mystery: The Crop Circle Phenomenon in Sussex (1996), Quest For Contact: A True Story of Crop Circles, Psychics and UFOs (1997, with Paul Bura), Swirled Harvest: Views from the Crop Circle Frontline (2003), A Oneness of Mind: The Power of Collective Thought and Signs of Our Times (2003), and An Introduction to Crop Circles (2004).
Andy has written articles for many publications, and regularly contributes to the popular alternative journal Nexus Magazine. He is also author of three books about his historical home town of Lewes in East Sussex: Streets of Fire (1999), The Lewes Flood (2001), which raised funds for flood victims, and most recently Lewes - A Souvenir Guide (2007).
In 2003 Andy founded Vital Signs Publishing to encourage awareness of themes he believes deserve more investigation in a world which appears to be undergoing a rapid social, physical and spiritual transformation. In 2005, Vital Signs Publishing produced Geoff Stray's influential and acclaimed book Beyond 2012: Catastrophe or Ecstasy, exploring the many prophecies, ancient and modern, for the year 2012. Andy is also founder of the Changing Times organisation, which holds events to spread alternative views on important political and social issues.
A very busy lecturer, Andy is renowned for his lively and sometimes theatrical presentations on the unexplained and global cover-ups. He speaks extensively in England and has lectured in many parts of the world, including America, Australia, Peru and several European countries. Andy is also one of the organisers and presenters of The Glastonbury Symposium, the world's longest-running crop circle-related conference, which takes place each summer.
Andy has made numerous radio and TV appearances, including major UK television spots on Richard and Judy, Esther and GMTV, and has featured in programmes from countries around the globe, as well as appearing in many crop circle documentary videos, including the US theatrically-released Crop Circles: Quest For Truth.
Also a professional keyboard player in years past, Andy has composed and recorded for various projects and still regularly gigs with guitarist Phil Light.
