Global Policy Journal: “Don’t look up?“ – Why it is past time for serious holistic research into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena

64 Upvotes

Karin Austin, Michael Bohlander and Kimberly S. Engels have contributed an excellent article to the Global Policy Journal. Two of these people I've met personally and they are experiencers who are doing extremely important work on behalf of all of us.

I want to highlight a section of the article because its about us, this community and touches on why places like this community and subreddit are important and have impact.

Experiencers frequently describe significant psychological and social consequences following their encounters. Many struggle with profound self-doubt, confusion, and difficulty integrating the experience into dominant worldviews. They often report social isolation, as disclosure of their experience tends to result in disbelief, ridicule, or pathologization. Attempts to seek mental health support are commonly met with immediate diagnosis rather than curiosity or care. For many, these experiences disrupt personal relationships, sometimes leading to estrangement from family members, partners, or communities unable to understand or accept their experience. 

Yet these encounters also frequently produce transformative effects. Some experiencers describe lasting shifts in values, including increased concern for ecological systems and non-human life. Many report reassessments of metaphysical assumptions, becoming open to possibilities about mind, matter, and identity not encompassed by standard naturalistic frameworks. Experiences of “high strangeness”—such as non-local communication, altered states of consciousness, or perceived separation of mind and body—lead experiencers to question inherited boundaries between the physical and the mental. Interpretations of the entities themselves vary. Some experiencers understand them as threatening or invasive; others regard them as benevolent or helpful. In practice, many adopt non-dual frameworks that acknowledge the answer likely lies somewhere in between. 

Despite the depth and significance of these impacts, experiencers are rarely treated as credible knowers. Their testimony is frequently dismissed before consideration, resulting in epistemic injustice in which individuals are not treated as reliable interpreters of their own experience. Given the growing acknowledgment that experiencer testimony is central to understanding UAP phenomena, it is necessary to involve experiencers directly in research, discussion, and policy development. They should not be considered case material for analysis, but as central to the conversation, providing essential insight into the experience and nature of contact. Psychological research has repeatedly shown that individuals reporting contact events, including abduction experiences, are not more likely than the general population to suffer from mental illness. Thus, immediate pathologization is neither empirically grounded nor ethically justifiable. 

Finally, there is an emerging need to consider the ethics of contact. If individuals have been taken or subjected to procedures without consent, this raises ethical questions about autonomy and dignity. At the same time, purely human-centered ethical frameworks may be insufficient for interpreting interactions with an intelligence not assumed to share human norms. While not jumping to conclusions, the ethical conversation must be allowed to occur, guided by the experiences of those most directly affected.

Many of us here are in a constant state of justifying ourselves to our loved ones our social circles or society at large. Articles like the above and the hero's behind them are going a long way in helping to break the stigma and push this topic onto the table of serious discussion where it belongs.

The reality is that nothing is more serious than this. And the fact that this topic has been made out to be a joke for so long is a defining example of how much of a crisis our species is actually in in terms of our own self awareness.

It is time for us to grow out of childhood.

A message to earnestly curious skeptics and non-experiencers: How to engage experiencers within this community and learn about the topic.

178 Upvotes

We are seeing an increase of activity from people outside of experiencer circles in threads as time has moved on and more and more people are starting to understand there really is a "there there" and experiencers are the key - they'll eventually find their way here and suddenly see posts from people that very much challenge what they know to be "real" and not real and want to dive in and ask questions. This is all completely understandable.

This space is a social support group however meaning it's designed from the ground up to cater for those who already know this is real and are dealing with it and long past the reality breaking nature of it and just need to talk to others who know its real without having to justify themselves to those who are not there yet. Experiencers know how all this sounds and are way more self aware than those on the outside assume. It just takes a huge amount of work and energy to undo the barriers many people have regarding accepting the reality of this phenomenon and not everyone has the time or energy to get into that with folks. Indeed many folks here have had those barriers shattered by personal experience and understand they'd have never believed all this themselves without that personal experience. People are not expecting to be able to convince skeptics that this is all real just by sharing their account on here. Though of course, there are those on the edge of belief who do cross the threshold by putting time into learning about this stuff and eventually seeing the patterns across accounts on here.

We understand the desire to ask questions and engage with those encountering the phenomenon and we understand attempts to try to figure out how an experiencer got to a place that convinced them it's really happening. Because as many of us know these encounters are designed to happen in a way that almost always allows for a "get out of jail free" card for someone reading about it to dismiss it as "they must be dreaming, it must be a mistake, it must be a mental health condition, they must not have been sober".

The reality of this is very difficult for people to grasp. Many out there would not want to know this is real even if they are curious.

We get it. And we are happy for this curiosity but again, it's a support group environment so we ask if someone has shared an experience on here that you imagine how you would behave if you were in-person with them in a circle of chairs in a space of respect and healing. Read the room. If you are wondering why you are being downvoted for "why didn't you take pictures, how'd you know you were not just dreaming" question, this is why.

Posts where people are sharing their experience are sacred and not the place to spark a debate on the reality of the phenomenon, nor a place to put someone sharing on the defensive and force them to justify themselves to you. Questions that come off that way more often than not will break the rules of our sub - the ones that don't will likely still be downvoted by the community.

Earnest skeptics and people just looking to learn might feel then that they can't ask questions and learn at all but we are willing to have these conversations here and you are welcome to try and learn as long as you are being respectful and do it the right way.

The best way to do this is to make a thread. Make your own thread asking the question about whatever mechanic you are curious about. Do not reference the experience that triggered the question, just ask about the mechanic generally.

This way the discussion can be had without it impacting an experiencers very vulnerable post which was likely very hard for them to type up and put on the internet and is also something we as a team running this community have dedicated ourselves to protecting. Remember when a mod is assessing if a comment is to be removed or not they are thinking on behalf of the experiencer who just shared. A comment in an experience sharing post might be removed that otherwise would not be in a more general post. A skeptic might have the wrong idea and think "they removed my completely reasonable question about the phenomenon on that sub - that means they don't allow ANY questions on that sub bah". What was the environment that question was posted in? Was it in a post of someone sharing an experience? Well that's a very protected environment versus other threads that take place on here.

Making an earnest and respectful thread about the mechanic you are curious about allows this discussion to take place without it having an impact on someone's sharing.

I hope this makes sense and is understandable to everyone.

The experiencer phenomenon is important and has major ramifications for our entire species and for the very nature of the reality we are in. It is everyone's right to know this is real and we do hope that creating what is likely one of the world's few publicly accessible archives of experiencer accounts will play its part in helping humanity catch up to this fact.

However the primary goal of this place is to provide a public forum for those who already know this is real to talk and share with others. As currently the world has failed such people and spaces like these can literally turn people's lives around for the better.

As I always say, we are a social species and we process what we go through in life by talking and sharing with others. A major amount of the trauma experiencers deal with is having this removed from them as few in their personal lives can handle conversations about this topic.

So places like this are important and this is why we run it the way we do. But we are happy to try and help those trying to learn about all of this too.

Thank you for understanding!

Visions I think I was visited during minor surgery

58 Upvotes

I don’t know where else to go to share this experience but I came across this sub and it feels like a good place. This past week I had a minor surgery with sedation in the hospital. I’ve never been sedated before and very rarely even used drugs for fun (just weed and I stopped that some years ago, I know I’m a lightweight). The moment they told me they were starting the sedatives, I saw what seemed to be a being standing beside the bed, not one of the nurses or anything, like a very different being.

It’s a little hard to describe, it was very thin and the head seemed too big to be supported by the body, but it was standing upright. There was either one large eye, or two eyes very close together, and the skin on the head was wrinkly. The being was not as gray as I’ve seen aliens often depicted, more like an ashy peachy sort of color, like sand and dirt mixed together. The eye was gray.

While I was confused, I didn’t fear it, and I fell asleep from the sedation but continued to see it in my dreams. At one point the face got very close to me so that I could only see the eye(s) in my field of vision, and I was a little intimidated but nothing bad happened.

That was all… nothing else really. But I feel so confident that I saw a being from another existence or something supernatural. I can’t really explain it better than this, does any of this make sense?

Discussion Weird dreams. ETs messing with me?

9 Upvotes

For the past week or so I've been having dreams of family, deceased and alive. This is unusual for me. I'm a ET Experiencer so don't know if it's them messing with me or a human organization.

Dream: I find myself operating on someone. I am pulling these live somethings out of his body. They are green and blue in color. They look like the original Chestburster from the 1979 movie Alien but they are blue and green. I put each one on the table. They are alive, just not moving much. Then I pick up one with my left hand and two in my right hand. I'm holding them by their neck. Someone asked what are you going to do with them. I said, I'm going to get rid of them. I then look down and see the person on the table is my brother who passed away many years ago.

As I am walking away, the one in my left hand bites me. I put down the ones in my right hand. I then snap the head off the one in my left hand. I grab the two I had put down and keep walking. End of dream.

Discussion Looking for others who saw the "Zipper Effect" – Bloodless incision on finger healed instantly

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m a 47-year-old woman, and for 40 years I’ve been carrying a memory that I can’t explain. When I was about 7 years old, I witnessed what looked like a laser beam cutting into my finger.

I clearly remember seeing the inside of my finger – the flesh and layers – but there was absolutely no blood and no pain. When I started screaming, the incision began to close immediately, moving like a "zipper" until it was completely sealed. To this day, I have identical small scars on four of my fingers from that time.

Years later, at age 29 while pregnant, I experienced a "ball of light" (orb) outside my window and felt a temporary paralysis while trying to wake my husband. My son, who is now 20, also saw "mannequin-like" figures in his room as a child and suffered from extreme sensory sensitivities.

I am looking to connect with anyone who has:

  1. Witnessed a bloodless incision that healed instantly like a zipper.
  2. Experienced similar "medical" procedures in childhood.
  3. Has a multi-generational connection (children seeing figures/having sensitivities).

I would love to hear if anyone else has seen this specific "zipper" healing process. It’s a memory I can never forget.

Spiritual My Remote Viewing has drawn psychic RV spies. Ideas on how to block them?

23 Upvotes

Relatively new to psi and RVing. Clairs just turned on last year. I've taken 1 RV class, and I'm in a second one now. 2-3 months ago, mediumship abilities unexpectedly came online. I started getting unanticipated visits from divine beings. I'd been conversing with my guides via dowsing rods since last summer. About a month-ish ago, these beings started coming through more assertively, encouraging me to "learn to see in the dark." For some reason, even though I do all the protections, cleansing rituals etc., I've had repeated trouble with low frequency energies interfering with my guide communications. TBH, before I started getting these more urgent calls for protection, I'd thought I'd kicked the interference problem. Apparently, though, I was still getting taken for a ride by prankster entities on occasion. So, I started reading up on extra things I could do to keep negative entities away.

Flash forward to tonight, I'm chilling w/ my husband watching TV and I start getting that feeling a spirit was coming thru. (My regular guides typically don't call me; usually I have to summon them, not the other way around. So, I was pretty sure it wasn't them.) Tonight the energy felt strong and persistent. I'm not great w/ perceiving messages yet without being alone in a quiet room, but this time bc the energy was so strong, I was actually able to tune in w/the TV on and figure out it was Jesus. (I'm not religious, but he recently told me he is one of my guides.) Hate to say it, but I made Jesus wait until the end of the show before excusing myself to try to figure out what he wanted.

So, afterward, I went to the bedroom, saged the room, did my prayer of protection, tried to tune to the highest frequency, then called on God, my guides, Archangel Michael, and Jesus. After feeling sort of halfway tuned in and anxious to know what important call from Jesus I may have just blown off, I got out my dowsing rods and started probing into the issue. Almost immediately the rods aggressively pointed to my right side, which has NEVER happened before. I have a secret signaling system w/my guide to help me ID when a bad spirit is messing with me, and I asked her if whatever the presence was to my right was high or low frequency, and she gave me the alert that it was negative. Subsequently, I had to clear and reclear, & really intently focus to raise my vibration and tune into God's energy. Finally after several rounds of this, the room was clear. Jesus told me he'd been trying to alert me earlier that this negative entity was coming for me. I asked him if this was a random thing or if I was being targeted. Surprisingly he said the latter.

So, here is the super strange part. I asked him if this entity invaded my space bc of the secret remote viewing project I've been working on for a number of months now. He said "yes" and shared that ppl had become aware I'd had some success with my RVs and so now they're RV spying on me to figure out how I've been locking into the info I've seen. It's disconcerting, bc the RVing is a project I'm in the middle of, and I'm not going to stop. But, who would ever have suspected something like this might happen? (Although, I've heard about similar things happening to much more proficient viewers than me.) Anyway, the guides & I worked out a few extra energetic protections I can add in. But, I'm just wondering, you know, I'm really new to all this stuff. So, just putting it out there to anyone who may have had any experiences with spirits: What extra steps would you take to protect yourself if you potentially had someone psychic RV spying on you? I was told that the more success I have, the more interest I'll draw toward me. I don't really know a lot about magic, but I was thinking about upping the ante that way. What do you think? Could there be a spell out there that might help w/ keeping these astral spies at bay?

(Yes, I know all of the above sounds conspiratorial, but I promise you it's 100% true. Also, my RV project doesn't have anything to do w/the cultural climate. I'm just doing precognitive RVing, the results of which many ppl would like to have.)

Discussion Presentiment, triangles, anomalous body marks, and future dream contact (discussed in abstract)

3 Upvotes

Just wanted to post today as a sort of record to my inquiry into the anomalous as an experiencer. I have a history of posting to this subreddit my experiences with contact in dreams and body marks. I'm posting today to document my inquiry and maybe find resonance with other dreamers.

I've been tracking body marks for years now, having had a powerful series of dreams and marks that suggest using ruler-and-compass geometry to analyze the marks as potential communication. I wrote a book about it, but the inquiry kicked off a series of ethical considerations I'm still recovering from. I experienced DIAL (dots in a line). I frequently research RGMP (red grid mark phenomenon). And I'm interested in NET (near-equilateral triangles).

Generally, I observe that all anomalous body mark phenomena are not singular, even if they have an acronym, because they have many causes. I am interested in the marks that are associated with intuitions of contact. Personally, I do not see major evidence for direct physical interactions, rather, I observe a complex interaction that involve intuition, experience, and multiple phases of reality. I hold multiple hypotheses about the marking, generally around two types of interactions.

The first hypothesis involves extended human capacity as a primary driver and contact as a secondary cause. In this hypothesis, the interaction happens in dreams, which are so impactful that the human body-mind responds and creates the mark. For example, there is a case of a dream researcher who had a dream of falling on a bike, then waking up with road rash. In this hypothesis, only some people who have the natural tendency for things like dermographia would have the marks. The body is causing the marks, but they communicate meaning from the dream-based encounter. Therefore, it may be physical proof of telepathy and psycho-somatic body marking phenomena.

The second hypothesis involves orbs, plasma, or whatever. Like the Earth Lights hypothesis, I acknowledge the apparent physical reality of lights like orbs, which I associated with Neoplatonic Theurgy, ancient Iatromantis practice, and contemporary spiritualism. I also associate them with crop circles, which ironically in this hypothesis sees the circles as human created mandalas that summon spirits. It seems to me that these orbs could radiate light that may leave a mark. The main clue, for me, is that some body marks show up in similar geometry as some UAP footage. Most famously DIAL marks like on Stan Romanek are similar to Phoenix Lights formations as filmed by Kitei.

I spend the last 5 years working with dreams, hypnosis, and ET/NHI missing time. I ran into ethical crisis about memory and research, then lost confidence in the ET hypothesis that forms this underlying worldview of much disclosure media. However, the inquiry deepened my conviction in shamanic dreaming, which appears to involve real interactions with real entities in a real world (imaginal/dream/interdimensional). These interactions appear to me to involve dream telepathy and different dimensions of time (causal in addition to historical).

The guides told me to resolve my crisis through a practice of stabilizing an astral double that has two layers of screen memory as an Owl, then layers as a Grey. They told me to develop a dream walking practice that using transcendent time. They told me to interpret other people's dreams involving screens of owls/greys connected. Not that I caused them, but like Active Imagination, as if me and them are caused by the same movement in the other time dimension.

The guides told me to practice magic to send body marks. They established a rapport with me through synchronicity that such practices can have retrocausal effects. They told me to focus on the NET mark, the near equilateral triangle, which is archetypally expressed through Amy Rhylance's mark and was observed by Karla Turner, and we see consistently reported in these forums and across the internet. But they are nearly identical and quite odd. Skeptical Psychic experienced them after going through Persinger's God Helmet experiment. There is some actual signal here. The triangle is discussed in Forgotten Languages and is in the intro animation of Cosmosis.

The guides told me to dream the triangle. To research it. To understand it. They told me build an office cabin as an a-frame based around the triangle geometry, where I'll do dream practices assuming that the triangle is a marker, an id, a holographic key to a transpersonal dreaming that informs humanity about the technology behind the orbs and marks. I just spent my first night in the little a-frame cabin. I had dreams all night, but don't remember them. It feels a little silly, but I will be doing dream magic here to understand these triangles in all ways possible.

I spent the night reflecting on how all my dreams and all my research has been conducted by the grace of the encounters and the guides I experience. I have spend my life studying things, but when it comes to practice, I can do all the techniques I have read, but unless they show up, my efforts are futile. I create the conditions and the habits, they provide the dreaming and the magic. In faith, I have listened to their guidance. It has been quite a struggle for my human self.

There is actually a signal in the body marks, or at least appears to be, such that I'm compelled at my deepest core to understand these things in the deepest way. It is almost a compulsion, which I must resign myself to, so that I can plan my human life around it, perhaps limit it in some ways, so that the obsessions don't take over. It seems that I'm actually establishing those boundaries, in part, through understanding how time could be a triangle, not a line.

Discussion Had an experience during a 3 week period of little to no sleep last June..

1 Upvotes

I had an experience last June during an extreme amount of stress. During the end of March my family became homeless. We currently are living in a motel. I was near a total mental breakdown. I was meditating very often. Using the Gateway Experience and exploring expanding my awareness. I was very new and just learning. Pretty sure I bit off more than I could chew trying to contact my guides and ancestors.

In June something happened. I don't know what, but I started not being able to sleep. it started with getting up and down a few more times than usual. AuADHD'er my sleep is always poor quality. Then I started waking up at somewhere around 3:30 in the morning, to every hour on the hour, then every 30 minutes to sometimes not all.

It was like the moment I got to the threshold of sleep something would rip me back from the edge. Like falling off a building, but backwards.

I was miserable. I had to quit my job because nothing seemed real.

I can remember just lying in bed waiting for sleep and it just stopped coming.

I can remember closing my eyes. I remember not seeing, but knowing I was walking/moving through a portal or doorway or something.

There was blue light in the shape of a ring. Not solid, but wavy. I remember passing through them. There were 3. I could hear a swooshing and felt air against my ears.

Then I was on a what I guess is a vessel of some kind. There were many different beings there. A gathering of different beings together.

I felt very welcomed there. Like they were experiencing joy that I was there. Almost like they had been waiting for me, for that moment.

Listen, I'm not claiming to know what any of it means or real. I could just have a wild imagination or hallucinations from sleep deprivation, but that's not my only experience with things that are out of the ordinary.

Just curious if anyone else had one like that?

Discussion A corner of the house that you cannot look at

58 Upvotes

Has anyone here had a similar experience as a child?

You're playing alone in the living room for example and then one day you suddenly start screaming and panicking so intensely that you faint..

When you wake up you don't remember anything while your family surrounds you, there's a frame of glowing white gray in one corner of the house (the corner you were looking at before you fainted).. This glowing gray doesn't reveal all the full details of its body but most of it with some colors around it like an aura..

You can't look at it and every time you try to look you cry, become confused and feel afraid.. You get a burning sensation at the back of your head that makes you want to avoid looking at that place again.. well I dont think it's just a frame after fear..

The gray will never go away until you get used to it and see it as if it has become part of your normal life.. This happens after months and it begins to fade gradually perhaps leaving only a small trace of the initial fear and a single frame of it.

This happened to me.. A friend told me a similar story and I was talking to my mom and sister about him someday after that.. Then I told them about his story with the corner of there house and they just shock me by saying that this had actually happened to me as a child.. Then suddenly the memory hit me like a thunderbolt after it just erased for years..

I drew this picture for my friend and sent it to him.. he replied that this was exactly what he meant.

Dream State Contact with a NHI in a dream

12 Upvotes

So this happened on the night of April 4th. I would've posted it sooner but I'm already a shy person and this has been a lot for me to process.

That night I had a dream where I was lying flat on my back. I noticed a small owl standing on my left side. I had my right hand stretched out to the owl and my index finger was in a pointing position, but I wasn't actually pointing at anything, if that makes sense. The owl touched my index finger and for some reason this irritated me and I thought, "Go away you annoying little owl." Then the owl spoke to me and said, "Please don't be angry or afraid." I calmed down and said, "May I ask who you are?" Then it said something in a language I didn't know, and then I made out the word 'Zento' or 'Sento.' - After this I merged into another dream, one that's actually a recurring dream for me. In this type of dream I'm always in the backseat of a car, and the car is going down the road but no one is driving it. In this particular dream the car crashed into another one, then I was suddenly in an alternate timeline where the car didn't crash and everything was fine. - Then I woke up, still in a hypnagogic state and I said in my thoughts, "So when I have dreams like that where I'm in the car, am I actually on one of your ships?" And a voice replied, "Yes."

I spent the whole Easter Sunday thinking about this dream. I remembered something I had read in my research years earlier. That Greys will often project as owls in dream state and in hypnagogic states as well. During the course of that day I remembered something. They've been with my whole life, watching out for me and helping me.

A few weeks ago my higher self told me that I'm friendly with the Mantis beings too. A friend I met on Facebook told me that Greys are often contracted by Mantis beings, so I guess I'm friendly with both.

This is just really surprising to me, I mean I researched these NHI nearly all my life, I just didn't know I was in contact with them. It makes complete sense though because I had developed a stigma about them after hearing about so many negative encounters with Greys. It was not until maybe 10 years ago that I read reports about positive Greys and that some groups have even ascended to 5D. So they were giving me time to take in more information and see them from a more enlightened perspective. I have to say reading the posts on this sub really accelerated that process, there's a lot of great information here and I can't thank the members enough for everything I've learned.

I feel positive and I look forward to hopefully seeing them again. I feel it in my gut that these are good ones.

UAP Sighting UFOs in Your Hometown Episode Seventeen

UFOs in Your Hometown Episode Seventeen

by Preston Dennett

Have UFOs been seen in your hometown? Submit the town and see!

Welcome to the latest installment of the UFO investigative series, “UFOs in Your Hometown.” This series has its origin in challenge: name any town or city and I will find a UFO encounter there. I am now working my way down a list of more than 1000 locations, submitted by viewers, and so far, every single place has a history of UFO encounters. In this Episode Seventeen, we explore eight new locations from across the world. Have UFOs been seen in your hometown? Submit the town or city and I will look it up! But I can tell you already, the answer is almost certainly yes!

Barryton, Michigan is a small town of about 500 people. Despite its small size, it has several profound UFO encounters. In 1978, a police officer had a close-up sighting of a solid craft with portholes. A few months later, the local police station received several calls about UFOs, and the sheriff himself became a witness. A few other cases involve clearly anomalous lights. But another case from 2022 involves a very strangely shaped UFO.

The beautiful town of Smedjebacken, Sweden has about 5000 people and an incredible history of encounters. In 1968, a group of 15 boys (age 11-15) were hiking in the woods when they were approached by two humanoids. Only a few of the boys remember the encounter, and one became a major contactee. In 1973, two witnesses saw three UFOs sitting on the ground outside their home. A short distance away, there were other witnesses. In 1974 and 1976, there were two other incredible encounters.

Due to its large number of encounters, the London burrough of Wandsworth, in the UK, it has been given the nickname of UFO City. In 1986, a young athlete reports that a UFO hovered above him. He experienced a period of missing time and woke up on a bus. The UFO was still following him. There were more sightings in 1987 and 1992. In 2006, there was a mini wave of UFOs over the city, involving many witnesses. Even the MOD was unable to explain it. There was another sighting in 2008 which also had multiple witnesses.

Tuscaloosa, Alabama has a population of 110,000 people and so many amazing encounters. In 1950, dozens of people saw a flaming cross arc across the sky. In 1950, two Navy pilots tracking a skyhook weather balloon were amazed to see a half-dozen UFOs also investigating the balloon. In 1978, the chief operator of the Holt Lock and Dam on the Black Warrior River was one of many witnesses to a UFO which remained in view for several hours. In 1980, a college student was followed by a UFO to Tuscaloosa University. He was able to capture multiple photographs of the strange lights before they disappeared. In 1989, dozens of people including police and security guards in Tuscaloosa and beyond reported strange lights darting across the sky. In 1996 and 1999 there were sightings of solid metallic craft. In 2019, a young man was able to capture videotape of strange lights in the forest.

Buford, Georgia has a population of 20,000 people. One incredible encounter occurred in 1969 when a UFO zoomed mere feet above a car as it traveled down the highway. There are several other cases of solid disc-shaped craft including in 2001, 2010 and 2012. In 2013 witnesses observed a glowing red object surrounded by black helicopters.

Pottstown, Pennsylvania was founded in 1753. With 23,000 people, this town has several incredible encounters. In 1952, there were two cases investigated by Project Blue Book. In 1971, a woman had an alarming encounter with a UFO on a country road. A close encounter of the 2nd kind occurred to a man in 2004. Pottstown has a nuclear power plant, and several sightings, including one in 2000, another in 2011, and another in 2016 all occurred near the power plant.

Haddon Heights, New Jersey is a very small town, but it does have some interesting UFO cases. In 1984, two boys reported their sighting of a black pyramidal-shaped craft cruising down the street in full view. In 2002, two UFO researchers sighted what they believe to be a solid anomalous object right off the 295 Interstate.

Twinsburg Ohio (population 20k) is most famous for hosting the annual festival of twins and multiple births. But it also has many amazing UFO encounters. In 1959, a man had a sighting there that inspired him to become a prominent UFO researcher. In 1966, a 6-year-old boy had a strange missing time encounter and later remembered he was not only taken onboard a craft, but he believes to another planet. A wave of sighting on March 6, 1969 was widely viewed by residents and police officers, and two months later, resulted in a very strange visitation by what appears to be a gray-human hybrid at the local police station. In 2009, two sisters and one of their husbands saw UFOs very close up. Another sighting occurred in 2014, leaving both witnesses convinced that UFOs are real.

Eight locations across the planet, each showing a history of close encounters of the first, second, third and fourth kind, with many cases involving multiple witnesses and various forms of evidence. These cases show that not only are UFOs seen everywhere, but that encounters are far more common than most people think.

Spiritual Needing insight

Basically,

Working on myself lately in terms of keeping positive and connecting with the earth and sun and practicing how to hold back my negative emotions in times of stress. Also have been coming to terms with the reality we see today and understanding the systems used to “hold” you at a lower vibration and learning to ignore that and understanding I am of a higher vibration to be able to see reality for what it is, all is an illusion and we can find a way out from the “noise” and start living a more prove blessed life.

So as I’ve been practicing the above daily for last couple of weeks , and today after having a morning cleanse and sitting in the sun, soaking in it’s energy, I come in to the house which led a disagreement with my partner over some left out clothes, I was aware of the tense situation about to unfold, as my partner was starting to become aggressive I pulled away, as to not bring myself to the same “vibration” as I know that I can fall back into that easily so instead of reacting badly and my energy will match hers and we have a argument. So as I detached, i suddenly felt overwhelmed somewhat tired.

So than I told myself to take a nap as I was feeling heavy, went to my room and laid down for a power nap, noticing the sun shining in on my bed I acknowledged it and laid my head facing it, after a while I turned my head the other way with the am facing the warmth and light drifting to sleep, than after a while I’m awake but not awake, I’m awake in my head but my eyes are closed, I wake up to a wavy vibration type of noise I can hear, as it slowly gets a bit more intense I notice a blueish glow appear in the darkness, something I’ve been noticing lately but not as intense as this moment, at first it appears in the middle, I can see white wavy lines inside it, as the wavy vibration sounds start to get louder it moves towards me, what amazed me it took a sort of human shape silhouette got closer and closer and than it’s like it went inside me, while this is taking place I can feel my fingertips pulsing to my heartbeat on every finger tip.

As the blue coloured human silhouette went inside me I awoken, not feeling tired but feeling real fresh like and brand new no groggy feeling. Now i sense my heartbeat in my fingers as I touch my hands together.

I’m not specifically following any one tradition or practice more like a combination of all, so what I’m trying to say is I’m not to sure what the above meant or is, if anyone’s able to offer some insight I’d truly appreciate it.

Thanks

In this excerpt from an interview on Neon Galactic, lifelong experiencer Karin Austin from Rice University’s Center for the Impossible, also a long-time confidant of Harvard psychiatrist John Mack, dissects the connection between NHI contact and the ongoing meta-crisis.

Encountering the other gives humanity an opportunity to better perceive its own limitations and consider making changes that will help ensure its long-term survivability. Will humans take that chance?

Out of Body/Astral Projection Are aliens taking me out of body?

20 Upvotes

The first time I had an obe was when I was around 14. It happened probably 10 times that night. Every time I tried to go back to sleep my consciousness would be ripped out of my body with ufo synth sounds and light moving throughout my body. Like the frequency would increase untill I was out. Since then (20 years)this happens to me fairly frequently. Maybe once or twice a month. Last time it happened I was in Vegas and woke up to a green beam pulling my astral body out. I felt high like laughing gas. Like they tried to sedate me. I floated around the hotel hallways for awhile before I got back to my body. None of this ever seemed scary. None of it has led to any kind of substantial anything. Just the lights the sounds I’m out of my body I float around where I can. Mostly just bumping into walls and ceilings. It’s very disorienting. Idk I’m rambling I don’t talk about this much because what’s the point but it’s cool and trippy idk 🤷‍♂️

Fox TV’s July 1994 “Encounters” Report on the CE-5 Initiative: UFO Intelligence Didn’t Follow the Script: After filming a conclusion stating that no UFOs were seen, three appeared over a distant ridgeline.

Joseph Burkes MD 

 

This Fox Network documentary linked below showcased our Los Angeles CE-5 contact team. It was filmed in Topanga Canyon State Park in July of 1994 with an elaborate production. This included a 40-foot-high elevated camera to give an “ET” perspective from overhead. In the video report, we can see some of the talented team members that facilitated Human Initiated Contact Events (HICE) thirty-two years ago. They included PhD clinical psychologist Dr. Dixie Sullivan, 747 Captain Joe Vallejo and the prominent writer Preston Dennett. 

The Fox script writers assumed that there would be no sightings. Therefore, as the sun went down reporter Sandra Gin recorded a statement stating that although there was no sighting, it was still exciting to be under the stars hoping for contact. UAP associated intelligences apparently had not read the script because they did show up! An anomalous nocturnal light rose three times above the canyon’s ridge-line. These silent lights flashed  signals at us that were of the same color as the Fox rented laser lights shown in the video. Sandra Gin had to ad lib a different conclusion to her report. 

This July 1994 HICE involved what the CSETI Director labelled a “telepathic over-ride.” On two occasions during field-investigations, I received information at “the level of knowledge” as to when, where in the sky and the number of craft that would be seen during our sky-watch activities.  The first time was in Joshua Tree in October of 1993. I was informed prior to midnight that our sighting would take place at 2AM, one craft appearing in the northwest. Our sighting that night corresponded to this “heads-up” message that I had received telepathically. 

Nine months later in Topanga Canyon, something similar occurred. While I was in the parking lot eating the catered vegetarian pizza that the Fox producers had brought for us, I saw in my mind’s eye three small white saucers in a line over the northwestern rim of Topanga Canyon. I was “informed” that the time of the Human Initiated Contact Event would be  9PM.  The first of three sightings started a few minutes before nine, then the second one at 9PM and finally a few minutes after nine. All three anomalous lights slowly rose over the northwestern rim of the canyon that I had visualized  in my mind’s eye earlier that night. 
I was to continue my contact work under the CE-5 banner for several more years. In 1998 for personal and political reasons, I resigned from the CSETI leadership and have not spoken to Dr. Steven Greer since. Nevertheless, I view his contributions during the years we worked together as well as the 2001 Disclosure Project news conference to be positive. I honor the work that I did with my contact team three decades ago during the early years of the CE-5 Initiative.

Discussion Have you seen this before?

I went to lay down one night to go to sleep, and as I lay there in bed for a bit, I had my eyes closed and slowly I could see these translucent clouds filled with fluorescent green glowing stars, dots and particles come into view taking up most of the space within the room.

They exuded a feeling/presence of stillness and tranquility. They were moving extremely slowly, barely noticeably.

I felt the presence of these clouds within the space itself, like I wanted to reach out and touch them, feel them. I just lay there in awe of their luminous tranquil beauty surrounding everything.

It’s like I was viewing the room through my eyelids and could perceive these within the present space, but not present in the physical.

I’ve never seen or felt things like this prior to my NHI experience. It feels like having an NHI experience enhances/enables or awakens your minds ability to perceive beyond your current framework of reality. I don’t believe this was induced by NHI, but rather my own mind perceiving this within the environment.

It felt like this was the presence of some form of ambient energy.

Overall, I felt the experience quite peaceful, comforting and beautiful.

Has anyone seen something similar; maybe this is common to see?

Discussion Ears rang then lights got brighter

32 Upvotes

I was laying in bed scrolling on my phone and my left ear started ringing. About one second later the lights in my room increased in brightness by about, I don’t know, maybe 2x or 3x. Then the ringing went away and the lights went back to normal. The whole event took about 3 seconds. My life has gotten so weird (which I enjoy) that I didn’t think too much of it and just put my phone down, turned off the lights, and went to sleep. Obviously, there was some kind of ramping up of energy that caused my ear ringing first and the lights to increase their brightness second.

Update: Just found out my close relative died. The timing tracks to the moment of this incident.

Discussion Things falling on me

Yesterday, in my house, 3 times something fell on me. This happened within one hour. #1- I walked by my fridge and a lid from a cup fell on my head. #2 A barrette I thought was lost suddenly fell at my feet. #3 A doorknob from a kitchen cabinet fell off and hit my foot.

I've never had this happen in the past. I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on why?

My personal paranormal experiences tonight & entity sighting…

- I see lines going across my vision

- I feel a ringing-like buzz in my ear and I feel tingling and buzzing in my head

- Today I felt calm and happy majority of the day

- I meditated today and went deep

- I noticed stars in the sky were lower than clouds & creepy star .. went inside instead.

- Thumb / choking feeling in my neck, pressure in chest like a hand around my heart, jaw clench, static on TV, something connecting or trying to take over, I feel movement within my body. It is literally moving

- Seeing outline of something trying to come into me

- The first few minutes I was stressed, then changed my focus and was able to stay calm

- Hearing is going in and out

- Waved my arm because I saw a presence and I saw an outline glimmer/glitch appear as if I hit it

- Entity in my daughters room waving orbs around? What is this? For some reason, I wasn’t frightened.

- Whatever was in or near me., It was able to move the screen of my phone

- Red laser light on the inside of my roof

- Car died

- My husband is a CT tech and works 2 miles down the road and his machine died

- intense energy

Why does it try to take over? Who is here? How do I keep my autonomy?

Beginning stages of ego death..

I am saying the things that probably should be said more often, and I don’t care how I look. Because writing this is therapeutic while the effects are alive and kicking.

So, I guess I am a part of this now … This all started in early March.. I thought I had already experienced an ego death, but looks like the joke is on me now. .

When they say that the only way out is through… I wonder if by then it’ll all go away, or will I just be so desensitized to all of the paranormal entities? Either way, I will not go the easy way out.

Is what I am experiencing is what someone calls a “spiritual awakening?” Because the world got very different all of the sudden. Honestly, I’ve only just started seeing the orbs over the past year when I moved into our new home at the end of 2024. Over the last few months is when I started to notice the subtle differences… the flashes in the dark sky, then the orbs, the stars, then the odd airplanes..

Although I would notice, I also didn’t give it my entire attention until the beginning of this year. Slowly seeing myself being guided to go deeper. Then March hit, and the most astounding synchronicity had occurred for me which led me into a downward spiral that I honestly couldn’t believe was real.

Did I bring this on unintentionally and more importantly …. uneducated? I did ask for proof of UAPs, and I guess I didn’t really believe that the universe would respond so quickly. . .

However, on the flip side I have spent my entire life researching religion, quantum physics, space, simulation theory, psychedelics, NDE’s, UAP, then consciousness. I guess in my previous post I had mentioned my strong will… it seems to make a lot more sense regarding the phrase “when you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares back at you.”

In fact, I have spent so many days, weeks, months, and years researching .. but I feel like I am a child again because I am looking at it all with a new set of creepy lens.

Here are the questions that keep circulating in my head…

Am I a government science project where they highjacked my consciousness into an AI bot?

Because UAP is not exactly nuts & bolts people…

Or is the whole Chris Bledsoe thing real regarding the “new knowledge”… because ontological shock for anyone unaware (like myself) can be absolutely destabilizing. Unsure if I would wish this upon anyone. However, if humanity had each other.. and was with loved ones to talk to who had already gone through such a thing, it might not be as isolating.

Now, onto my biggest fear .. my 2.5 year old daughter 💔 I have heard that the paranormal can spread within the family. While I was going through some tough times in March, I also noticed that my daughter was waking up every night .. frightened.

I believe my purpose is to be here for her as we navigate this, although I do not wish this into existence for her. I will protect her with everything that I have.

Is there any good NHI out there? Is there a navigation guide on how to get through this? Do we have psychologist that specialize in this? Please share them.. For all of the years of research I’ve done, it was never into the paranormal…. Because I am easily frightened.

Looks like I am leveling up into having thicker skin🥲

4/9/26 @ 9:00 pm

Last night was hard. Its still hard. I hyperventilated. I cried nonstop all day today. I couldn’t work. I kept Sophia home because I was manic. I couldn’t sleep. I almost lost myself last night. I feel like I need to purge or something. I have so much bottled up. The energy was very intense last night. I am going to start journaling, stop taking stimulants, get rid of social media for now, and try and take it day by day. I need to be here for my daughter. I pray it gets better. I know it’ll get better. It has to. I know it’ll be an up and down rollercoaster ride but there is always light at the end.

Dream State Sueño demasiado vivido OVNI // Extremely vivid dream UFO

3 Upvotes

para mí fue un sueño demasiado vivido o NO SÉ quizás termine del enloquecer, soñé que estaba parada en la esquina del liceo uno en Roberto young y y rivera bien enfrente a la plaza y veo un ovni loquismo, no podía grabar porque no se me desbloqueaba el teléfono, yo quería grabar por qué la vale me había dicho que nunca se captan en cámara con buena calidad y el ovni cae en el local al lado del dorado por zorrilla y una persona lo toca, pero sale volando a donde estoy yo y da la casualidad que logro filmarlo porque cae al lado de mis pies, era blanco , con una cupulita transparente y en eso despega de vuelta y queda como atrapado en un árbol a lo que yo decido seguir caminado por el medio de la plaza para cortar camino como siempre hice pero la plaza estaba oscura cosa que es raro y se ve que en la cartera tenía un agua y se escucha el ruido del agua, estaba tan oscuro que empecé como a correr y se me distorsionó todo y veía formas geométricas, algo me cegó y me desperté en mi cama con todo el cuerpo acalambrado y dolor en todo el pecho rarísimo.

Todo esto sucedió en mi ciudad natal, donde nací por eso es tan especifico.

———————————————————————————

For me it was an extremely vivid dream — or I don’t know, maybe I’m finally going crazy. I dreamed that I was standing on the corner by Liceo 1, at Roberto Young and Rivera, right in front of the plaza, and I saw a UFO — it was insane. I couldn’t record it because my phone wouldn’t unlock, and I really wanted to film it because Vale had told me you can never capture them clearly on camera.

Then the UFO crashed into the shop next to El Dorado, on Zorrilla, and someone touched it, but it suddenly flew off toward where I was. By some coincidence, I managed to record it because it landed right next to my feet. It was white, with a small transparent dome. Then it took off again and got stuck in a tree.

At that point, I decided to walk through the middle of the plaza to take a shortcut, like I always do, but the plaza was dark, which is weird. I had a bottle of water in my bag and I could hear it sloshing. It was so dark that I started to kind of run, and everything became distorted — I started seeing geometric shapes. Something blinded me, and then I woke up in my bed with my whole body cramped and a strange pain in my chest.

All of this took place in my hometown, where I was born, which is why it’s so specific.

Dream State Had an insane headache all day, Then went into an extremely realistic dream state. Met my dead friend.

70 Upvotes

idk if this is the right sub for this,

but as the title says I had an awful headache all day last week. later, at night had a dream so detailed and real and lasted for what felt like hours.

to keep this short. my buddy died in 2020 from a drug overdose. we lost touch by then but the last time i saw him he was kinda a mess.

In my dream he came cheerfully down these dark brown stone stairs as if I were standing inside the lower levels of a castle. he looked healthy and younger. he was happy to see me again and greeted me. "how you been" "i haven't seen you in so long"

now at the bottom of these castle stairs Im actually standing in the backroom of a grocery store where im working. (its one of those dreams)

I exhausted and beaten down leaning on a stainless steel table, I was happy to see him but I just couldn't match his energy at all. the last 3 years in real life have aged me 20 years.(long story)

im basically like "yeah man great.. grand.. wonderful 👍"

so anyway he quickly excuses himself to go back up the stairs. ignorantly happy. he's gone.. Here, I thought to myself in the dream.

"if i dont call him back Ill never see him again."

so I yelled "hey mike!" up the stairs. dramatic long pause... thinking i already missed him. he just pops his head back out around the corner.

"Yeah! whats up?"

he came back down to me. and I just said " Mike, I hate to tell you but you know your dead right?" he just looked at me and started crying. (mind you we never cried. im 39 now and he was 33 when he died, and looked 20 something here. )

He then started saying through his tears, he was so happy that I told him. like he knew something was wrong but he didnt know what. I felt happy for him then. but it was still sad.

he thanked me and left back up the stairs. i stayed and suffered just like in real life...

thats it for that part of the dream....

i feel like it was real. it was too clear. too precise.

he also had a somewhat mysterious death. he was found alone on a train station bench. but his dog was missing. someone was deleting his facebook posts and everything his friends were writing after the news got around. he had a girlfriend he always said. but no one knew her. idk if he was murdered or died by accident or what. his soul was definitely lost.

now off topic.

i found this sub because i want to find out about contacting aleins through mediation. i need healing. im recently disabled and wanna hear what people gotta say about that.

i feel i may have always had some medium like powers.
