Nick Redfern and Greg Bishop over at UFOMystic have reported that their good friend Mac Tonnies was found dead Thursday afternoon of apparent "natural causes!"The UFO Chronicles

The "shock & awe" of this news is rippling throughout the UFO community and elsewhere given Tonnies' young age and apparent good health.

From Mac's web-site at www.mactonnies.com re his bio, it reads:
[Further details can be found here.]I'm a Kansas City, Missouri-based author and essayist. I blog daily at Posthuman Blues and tweet religiously. My latest book is After the Martian Apocalypse (Paraview Pocket Books, 2004), a speculative and generally well-received examination of extraterrestrial intelligence on the Red Planet. I'm presently at work on a new non-fiction book titled The Cryptoterrestrials: Indigenous Humanoids and the Aliens Among Us, excerpts of which I've posted on my blog. If you're in the mood for a multiplex Fortean anthology, my essay "The Ancients Are Watching" is included in 2008's Darklore Vol. II. (My first book, Illumined Black, is a collection of naively "Blade Runner"-ish science fiction short-stories. It can still be found in used-book stores and on Amazon.com). . . .

Mac was a great thinker and a thoughtful individual. He was a person with much to say and who had the skills to say it, too. And, with the manuscript of his planned book The Cryptoterrestrials nearly completed, I truly believe that Mac was about to come into his own in the Fortean field on a very large scale indeed.An accurate summation, as Tonnies was a very intelligent, articulate individual; he was at the beginning of what surely would have otherwise been a lengthy collective of future, thought provoking literary contributions.
For a look into the man, and a sampling of his wit and savoir-faire listen to an interview conducted at The Paracast found here.
