Profile: Steve Watkins

Personal background
I have lived in Brecon, Wales, UK all my life (And still do, Sep 2003!)

I started as an apprentice with Swalec (Our local electricity supplier) as an electrician. This lasted 4 years where I then passed out as a trained electrician. I worked 3 years in the trade before Swalec decided to go PLC and major changes forced me to look for another job.

Luckily a job came up as a maintenance electrician with Powys Health Care Trust. It was a change of work, going from installing cables in factories and houses, to fixing medical equipment and changing light bulbs! I've been upgraded now to chargehand electrician and I enjoy the job. I would like to progress into health and safety, although Im not sure what I want out of that yet.

I used to play drums in a local band with various names! - We used to have great times around the local pubs, playing cover versions of Inspiral Carpets, Beatles and Faith No More stuff. Unfortunately, the band split up, probably due to lack of inspiration, my drum kit became obsolete and I haven't played now for a few years.

I am a father of two lovely girls, Sophie, Chloe & Oliver. I am engaged to Paula and we are living in a detached house north end of Brecon.

My hobbies include computers in general (since age 8), designing websites, reading, astronomy, ufology and I hope soon to try out paragliding. My main website is called AlienExistence.com and is at:

I am currently running a petition to get the truth regarding the UFO phenomena, whatever it is..

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Extraterrestrial life impacted my life when I had access to the internet about in about 1988. I became fascinated after reading about Area 51. I certainly do believe in ET life, in fact I would go as far as to say that I truly believe that they have been about a lot longer than us and are already visiting earth.

There is so much raw material available that if 1 case is true then it answers the question. I believe that years ago, a descision was made to supress this information and use it to build empires.

The dangers of discovery, this is what I am trying to say, release of UFO, ET images and related stuff slowly through the media currently will eventually "soften" the impact when the government decide to say that life has been discovered, or even are here already.

This is my personal opinion and I try not to force it on anyone.

You may say, then why is he still running SETI@home? The reason being is I want to be part of the campaign to discover ET, if it is the route that the government want it to be disemminated. I would like to think that when the time comes (personal estimation - before 2005) then I have been part of that process.

I would like the government to come clean about the whole issue. SETI is doing a fine job and should be 100% supported financially by the government.
