A Stirring Blend of Sci-Fi, Memoir, and Spiritual Mystery
In an era where literature often treads familiar paths, Dave Emmons’ “We Were Supposed to Meet” boldly ventures into the unknown. This is not just a science fiction novel about extraterrestrial contact or alien technology—though it is absolutely that. It is also an intimate spiritual memoir, a psychological journey, and a metaphysical exploration of the unseen threads that connect lives across dimensions and timelines. With heartfelt prose and startling revelations, Emmons invites readers into a world where angels walk among us, aliens implant messages in our minds, and destinies are interwoven long before birth.
About the Author: A Life Less Ordinary
To understand We Were Supposed to Meet, you must first understand the man behind the book. Dave Emmons is not your typical author. Born in southern Illinois in the late 1940s, he grew up in a large, blue-collar family of eleven children. With limited means but endless imagination, Dave’s childhood was spent outdoors, exploring nature and developing the sense of wonder that would later permeate his writing.
After high school, he served bravely as a combat platoon sergeant in Vietnam. Near-death experiences during wartime sparked his spiritual awakening and deepened his belief that something greater was guiding him. Throughout his life, he wore many hats—soldier, electrician, musician, radio and TV student—but one thread remained constant: his encounters with the unknown.
Dave’s life has been marked by numerous paranormal and extraterrestrial experiences. His previous books, including Angels and Supernatural Entities and Senseless Wars and Conflicts, laid the groundwork for his latest and most personal fiction: We Were Supposed to Meet, which marries his real-life experiences with imaginative storytelling.
Destiny Begins in a Grocery Store
The novel opens not with lasers or spaceships, but with a stroller in a grocery store. The protagonist, Kitchi, is just six months old when a mysterious woman named Sidtrella approaches his mother. With long blonde hair, piercing green eyes, and a knowing smile, Sidtrella is immediately otherworldly. She addresses the baby by name—without ever being told—and touches his forehead in a gesture that seems to trigger something deep within his soul.
This first interaction, relayed to Kitchi years later by his mother, is the spark of a life filled with supernatural contact. Sidtrella reappears throughout his childhood, always ethereal, always mysterious. She seems to know more about Kitchi’s identity and future than he does. But who—or what—is she? An angel? An alien? A hybrid of both? These questions linger as Kitchi grows up and begins to experience more direct encounters with the unexplainable.
A Childhood Between Worlds
Kitchi’s childhood is marked by subtle signs that he is different. His mother insists he was “special” from the moment of birth, born with long gray sideburns and an unusual calmness. Teachers sense his uniqueness. A playground encounter with Sidtrella reinforces his sense of pre-ordained destiny. Still, his life in rural Montana—near the Rocky Boy’s Chippewa Cree Reservation—is humble and grounded. Like many boys of his generation, Kitchi listens to rock music, dreams of space, and goes on awkward teenage dates.
But the normalcy begins to fracture one summer night in the late 1990s, when Kitchi and a friend spot something extraordinary: a massive flying saucer, hovering low and silent above the trees near their home.
What follows is one of the most vivid and detailed UFO encounters in modern storytelling. The craft is described with precision: a three-tiered, metallic saucer with portals, red and white lights, and silhouettes of its alien occupants. Kitchi and his friend pinch each other to confirm it’s not a dream. There is missing time. The craft vanishes. And life is never the same again.
A Strange Mark, an Implant, and a Lucid Dream
Weeks later, Kitchi finds something strange in his body—a disc-shaped implant beneath the skin. Unlike any natural formation, it slides out painlessly through a razor-thin line, leaving no blood. His mother dismisses it, but Kitchi knows better. It’s a souvenir from the saucer encounter—a calling card from beings whose agenda he can only guess at.
Soon after, Kitchi begins to have lucid dreams. He’s in a hot, dark room on a metal table. He’s drowsy, disoriented, and struggling to wear a shirt that doesn’t fit—his friend’s shirt, oddly placed on his body. He suspects, even as a teenager, that something more happened that night—something invasive and life-altering. The idea that the aliens are interested in his DNA and reproductive material for a hybridization program begins to take root. And so does the belief that he is being watched—by Sidtrella, by aliens, and perhaps by angels.
Themes That Transcend the Genre
What makes We Were Supposed to Meet stand out is how seamlessly it weaves multiple genres and emotional threads:
- Science Fiction: The novel contains vivid depictions of alien craft, lost time, and extraterrestrial technology.
- Spiritual Memoir: Kitchi’s connection to Sidtrella, his near-death experiences, and the feeling of being guided by divine forces speak to a deep spiritual undercurrent.
- Coming-of-Age Story: The reader sees Kitchi grow from a curious, awkward child into a young man carrying a cosmic secret.
- Mystical Romance: Hinted throughout is the suggestion that Sidtrella may be more than a guide—perhaps even a romantic counterpart from another world.
The book asks questions that many readers quietly ponder: Are we alone? Is there a greater plan? Are some people marked for a special purpose from birth?
A Story for Our Times
In a world increasingly curious about UFOs, spiritual awakening, and interdimensional consciousness, Dave Emmons’ work feels both timely and timeless. The recent surge of government disclosure around UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) gives We Were Supposed to Meet an added layer of relevance. But more than tapping into cultural fascination, Emmons taps into something deeper: the feeling of being connected to something larger than ourselves.
Kitchi’s story is both alien and familiar. We may not have seen flying saucers or spoken to beings from the Pleiades, but we’ve all wondered why we’re here. We’ve all questioned whether chance encounters were really part of a hidden design. Emmons challenges us to take those questions seriously.
A Cosmic Call to Awaken
We Were Supposed to Meet is more than a sci-fi adventure—it is a cosmic memoir, a spiritual guide disguised as fiction, and a love letter to the seekers among us. Whether you’re fascinated by UFOs, interested in spiritual growth, or simply love a well-told, character-driven story, this book will stay with you long after the last page.
With elegant honesty, Dave Emmons reminds us that the universe is far stranger—and more beautiful—than we can imagine. And sometimes, just sometimes, the beings we’re meant to meet… find us first.
“Life does not stop here – we are eternal.”
– Dave Emmons
If you’re ready to explore a story that challenges the boundaries of belief, bridges heaven and the stars, and touches the very soul of human experience, We Were Supposed to Meet is the book you’ve been waiting for.
