There are now many hundreds of documented cases in which people have been healed as the result of a UFO encounter. Most of these involve healings of physical injury, illness or disease. However, there are also cases on record in which people have been healed of mental illness. What follows are two cases of people healed of suicidal depression.
One such case took place in October 1997 to David Perez of West Covina, California. It was only a few weeks after the mass suicide in San Diego of forty-nine “Heaven’s Gate” UFO cult members.
Perez stepped out of his apartment to smoke a cigarette when he observed an unidentified craft hovering a few hundred feet away. Says Perez, “It looked like a ship…All I saw at first were the lights all the way around it. I never saw lights like that around a helicopter or an airplane.” As he watched, the object started to flash lights at him. Perez’s cousin and girlfriend came outside and also observed the object, as did his neighbor. At one point, the object sent down a beam of light which apparently struck Perez. As he says, “This red bright light went on, and it seemed like it kind of penetrated my pupils, and my vision turned red. Everything that I saw was tinted red…that’s when I got kind of scared. I thought it had screwed up my vision…I couldn’t talk, and I couldn’t move or anything. I don’t know if it was the fear or what, but I just couldn’t move anything.”
A few minutes later, Perez had an argument with his girlfriend, got into his car and drove off. He reports that the object followed him from West Covina to Canoga Park, where it suddenly appeared again over his car. A strange feeling of comfort passed over him and he realized that the encounter was affecting him physically. Says Perez, “I was kind of stressed. I’ve always had problems with my back. I used to cough up blood once and a while. I was kind of sick. I had pains in my chest and on my side. Ever since that night, I haven’t had any pain at all. And I was also suicidal. Ever since that night, I haven’t been. I’ve been good. I’ve been feeling really good, really healthy.”
Perez also started to experience premonitions and developed an interest in meditation and psychic development. He believes that the UFO is responsible for his spiritual awakening. As he says, “I kind of feel for some strange reason that they have something to do with God. Ever since then I’ve started talking about God.”
A second case occurred in 1992. John (pseudonym) was living in southern California and battling suicidal depression. On April 10 of that year, he made a fateful decision. “I drove to a location in the mountains to commit suicide.”
Around noon, John found an isolated area outside of Lake Isabella. “When I got there, I got out of the vehicle and walked around it, looking around my surroundings to make sure nobody was watching…After about fifteen minutes of making peace with it and saying goodbye, I was now ready.”
John held a 357 magnum, loaded, with the trigger pulled back and ready to fire. “I was no more than ten seconds from pulling the trigger,” John writes. “I noticed something moving out of the corner of my eye.”
John became upset because he thought people were watching. He turned his head and saw two figures. “Both stood facing me,” writes John, “one motionless and the other one leaning…leaning just enough into my peripheral vision that I would see them. They were exactly like the small grays you see, like in the Roswell accident.”
John could barely believe his eyes. “I saw them, twenty feet away from me. I even had a loaded gun and could’ve shot at them and probably hit them…[but] when I noticed that I was not alone, it simply voided the suicide, and I left, which I thank them for really.”
As John drove away, he realized it was now 11:30 p.m., and there was a full moon. It was as if the moment the ETs appeared, darkness had already fallen. He had seen them only in the nighttime, which meant that there were about ten hours which he could not remember.
While the experience prevented him from committing suicide, it had other repercussions. “It took years for me to actually accept what I saw with my own eyes.”
Now, however, John has accepted what he saw. “There is no doubt whatsoever, 100 percent absolutely positive beyond any doubt that I saw them, twenty feet away from me.”
According to the Center for Disease Control, suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the United States. As can be seen, ETs are not only curing people physically, they are also curing mental illness. Cases like these show a positive side of ET contact, and reveal how truly advanced the ETs are.

One of the more intriguing and lesser-known aspects about encounters with extraterrestrials, are the numerous accounts of healing encounters, which are far more prevalent than people think. The survey by FREE, the Edgar Mitchell Foundations for Research into Extraterrestrial and Extraordinary Encounters revealed that about half of respondents had experienced a healing encounter that affected either themselves or a relative. That is a staggering statistic.
When it comes to the motivations of the visitors for these healings, people have opposing views. This shouldn’t come as a surprise as it is usually the case with assessments of their intentions. Some see the healing encounters as proof of their benevolence, while others just see it as them taking care of their resources, the way a farmer takes care of his cattle.
John Carpenter: "I have never seen where aliens healed somebody’s physical ailments as a deliberate act of benevolence or kindness. Instead, they might report they fixed something because it was interfering with their plans. For example, one abductee was clearly color-blind as certified by his uncle, a doctor. His wife would never let him dress their kids. After one of his abduction experiences he recalled that they were implanting something behind his eye. They told him that he would notice 'as a side benefit' an increase in color perception because they had to fix that so that what they were doing would work right. His uncle the doctor was surprised when he tested him and found that his color vision was now perfect!"
We asked our panel for their thoughts:
- Gwen Farrell was kind enough to share the chapter of her book that deals with healing encounters, which offers a nice introduction to the topic.
- Suzy Hansen shares both her personal experiences, as well as cases she has come across in her work, and that are included in her book.
- Bill Konkolesky also shares his personal experiences, as well as those of others.
- Denise Stoner shares her personal healing encounter at length.
- Tom Montalk starts with one experience he had and shares his thoughts on the phenomenon
- Nadine Lalich shares one healing encounter she experienced as a child

Nadine Lalich's new book is out

Nadine Lalich has been a trusted member of our panel since we started our 'Ask the Panel' series.
Her new book, Evolution - Coming to Terms with the ET Presence (Alien Experiences), is now available.
(At the time of writing, only in paperback. Kindle edition will follow soon).
Here is a short video:
This is the introduction on Amazon:
It was late on the evening of June 15, 1991, when Nadine and her friend, Pamela, pulled into the empty lot of Banjo Bill Park in Sedona, Arizona. After the long drive from California, they planned to sleep in the van and then head into town the next day. Sometime after midnight, Nadine awoke to the sound of people outside walking around the vehicle. Alarmed, she quickly sat up, and a moment later, the rear door of the vehicle opened lighting up the interior. Reaching toward her was a thin grey arm and a hand with only three fingers! The terrifying experience would be the first of many to come, but it would take thirteen more years before she would find the courage to speak about it. When she did, an unexpected shift occurred: the experiences began to include a military presence.This book chronicles Nadine's experiences during her lifetime involving a variety of non-human life forms, some of which appear to be physical and others potentially interdimensional. Included are descriptions of ten different ET species, their behavior, and possible intentions. Over a dozen alien and military technologies are presented, along with descriptions of crafts, underground and underwater bases, medical and psychological testing and procedure. The book includes 50 illustrations and photos.
Until I took the time to investigate, I never knew there were thousands of other people having experiences similar to mine. Hundreds of dedicated investigators have been researching for years, and a vast amount of verifiable evidence has accumulated that I knew nothing about. In 2004, after 13 years of secrecy, I began to talk about my experiences, a difficult decision considering the negative connotations and disinformation associated with the subject. Once I accepted the fact that we are not alone in the universe, a dramatic shift occurred in my consciousness and spirituality, and I developed a profound sense of purpose. My compassion and commitment to the earth and all living beings became fiercely ignited, along with the desire to see an end to the political and military chains that stop humanity's progress. With this book, I have fearlessly shared my experiences. In doing so, I am stepping to the front line of disclosure, committed to doing all that I can to support the evolution of human consciousness which will allow us to become cosmic citizens. That, I believe, is our destiny.

The book is available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/097117766X/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=evolution+coming+to+terms+with+the+et+presence&qid=1579795789&s=books&sr=1-1
Someone to watch over me

Often the inspiration for these panel questions comes from conversations I have had with experiencers. This time is no exception. I was talking to someone recently who said she felt blessed by her contact experiences because she felt they were always around. It made her feel safe. She never needed to feel lonely because there was always someone to watch over her.
It reminded me of other experiencers who shared a similar sentiment that they were never alone. But they didn’t like it, and felt their privacy was being violated.
The phenomenon of "often or constantly feeling the presence of the visitors contactees interact with" is fairly common. What seems to greatly differ is how people experience it, as the two examples above demonstrate.
We asked our panel members for their thoughts and/or experiences.

Interview with Julia Sellers
There is so much research going on across the world about general existential questions such as who we are, what our purpose is, our ultimate destiny unfolding through the ongoing process of evolution, where we are at the moment in terms of our consciousness, potential and our current human condition, the awareness of which is crucial for a self-perception that would enable us to position ourselves appropriately into the broader universe and get a proper perspective of our purpose and related life trajectory.
While I came across Julia’s book I Have Seen It Tomorrow, I was attracted by its title alone, because I have a feeling, shared with many people in today’s world, that things must somehow be turned upside down, looked at from a different perspective, examined from an opposite to normal direction – like reading, writing, looking at a picture – allowed to exist in a different order to that we traditionally conceive, because something is not right about the established concept of our world, something is missing and something is wrong and this must change, be complemented or corrected or eliminated altogether.
Julia Sellers, writing under a pseudonym Iris Krst, is a researcher of anomalous phenomena, primarily of out-of-body experiences.
She is interested in quantum physics, free energy, anomalous cognition, in merging the topics of science and religion, in shattering limiting beliefs.
She is also a lecturer, author, and coach. She had her first out-of-body experience in 1995, and since then she has dedicated her time to studying them.
Once engaged in journalism, translation-interpretation, consulting for international relations, and teaching about the behavioural problems of children, she now devotes her time to issues related to STEs and NOTEs, she is a member of the Society for Scientific Research and the Society for Afterlife Research, a member of (I)SEN – International Spiritual Emergence Network, and a contributor to the Journal of Exceptional Experiences and Psychology. [Editor's note: STE = Spiritually Transformative Experience; NOTE = Non-Ordinary Transcendent Experience].
The topic of our conversation was paranormal phenomena including Julia’s main field of research – out-of-body experiences, with an emphasis, however, on extraterrestrial contact as one among the many paranormal experiences humans are increasingly exposed to, and the psi-factor as its crucial component, discussed also in one of the recent series of articles in the magazine JAR.

Julia: Maybe we will start the interview with the topic of out-of-body experiences. They are also an essential part of what we call non-human intelligent contact, formerly known as extraterrestrial contact. Now we are talking more about non-human intelligences, or NHIs, because when the contact happens it does not necessarily have to be extraterrestrial. We call this intelligence an entity, or entities, because we don’t really know what it is and thus what to call it. It could be anything, it could be pure energy, pure plasma, it could be discarnate spirits of this world. But it could also be the Grays, other extraterrestrials, ghosts that live in nature, etc.

The Frequency and Scale of Abductions

Introduction
In an interview, not too long ago, David Jacobs insisted that the amount of alien abductions has been increasing over the years. His explanation is simple: with each new generation, there are additional abductees. Then, a short while ago, I was having a conversation with another researcher who claimed abductions had virtually come to an end. Which I thought was a bold statement to make. And I remembered Whitley Strieber once mentioning that they happen in flaps: there are periods of heightened as well as periods of lower activity.
That poses an interesting question: have alien abductions been increasing or decreasing over time? I posed the question to some other researchers, and their views largely diverged. Most seemed to think that they had either decreased or remained the same over time.
I also presented the question to the members of our panel, and they came with some revealing insights. A first is that we have to make a distinction between the number of abductees and the number of incidents. It is perfectly possible that with each generation the overall number of all abductees increases, while the number of incidents remains stable: instead of the parents being abducted, it is now their offspring.
A second insight is that we can only know what is happening if people keep on reporting their experiences. And things can easily go wrong there: the lack of the availability of a local platform to report to may be an obstacle. Even rephrasing the questions or asking for additional, more private information, can scare people away.
At present, we don’t really have enough reliable data to make any clear assessments. But with the information we have, it seems that the overall number of abductees has grown while the overall number of incidents has remained stable.

Here are the replies of our panel members, in the sequence we received them:
- John Carpenter, Are Abductions Happening as Often?
- Nadine Lalich, Alien Abduction: Is it increasing?
- Thomas Minderlé
- Denise Stoner

John Carpenter - Are Abductions Happening as Often?
When asking whether UFO abductions are happening as frequently as in the past decades, the real question should be, “Are UFO abductions being reported as often?” This is a reporting phenomenon first and foremost. Let me explain. To have any reasonable assessment of the frequency of UFO abductions, one must have a reliable and easily accessible reporting system – everywhere – which is unlikely. Because alien abductions are a very private, often disturbing, and disbelieved phenomenon, very few people are comfortable with sharing their events. They fear they will be labeled crazy and shunned or get unwanted publicity with a potential for even greater ridicule. They may doubt their own sanity and suppress the unusual events. Even with a greater awareness and better acceptance these days, it is still very personal and not easy to report. Besides, who can you be certain that you can trust?
Are Undersea Bases Used For Alien Abductions?

There is now ample evidence that existing alongside the UFO phenomenon is an equally complex but less well known phenomenon with the acronym USO, which stands for Unidentified Submerged Object, or alternately, Unidentified Submarine Object. While they are seen much less frequently than the aboveground UFOs, they are nevertheless observed often enough to warrant extensive study as a related phenomenon.
In an interview I conducted with world-renowned UFO researcher Stanton Friedman, he told me, “There have been a number of reports over the years of objects that do several things. Navy submarines have apparently seen things moving along much faster than they can underwater, without going in or coming out. Others have seen UFOs come down in the water and move around and then take off from the water. And there have been reports of things that just come bursting forth out of the water.”
WHAT A USO IS CAPABLE OF
Another story was told to me by Don Ledger, the coauthor of a book on the famous Shag Harbor incident. Ledger received training in the fields of marine navigational aids and radar. In the course of that training, he spoke to a man at a sonar shop at a naval base in Halifax, Canada.
“He was working as a repairman for the navy on sonar,” Ledger recalled. “I asked him, ‘Did you ever see anything unusual down there, like whales or something besides submarines?’ And he said, ‘Oh, yeah, every once in a while we’ll run across something that seems to be moving way too fast for a submarine.’ I said, ‘What do you mean by fast?’ And he said, ‘Well, one time we recorded one going about 150 miles an hour underwater. That’s impossible.’ So I said, was there something wrong with the equipment? And he said, no, the equipment all checked out.”

We asked our panel members about alien implants. First, Gwen Farrell gives a general introduction. In the following two articles, Suzy Hansen and Thomas Minderlé share the experiences of three experiencers.

Gwen Farrell: what about implants?
From Forbidden Questions: A Guide to Human-ET Contact by Gwen Farrell, CHt, RT
Some individuals believe they have been implanted with un-earthly objects during contact with alien beings. Implants are not souvenirs of all contact events, but they are reported commonly enough to be considered standard items in some ET toolboxes. The FREE Study(1) found that out of 1,222 individuals who responded to the question “Do you believe that the ETs placed a permanent foreign object (an implant) in your body?” 630 said Yes.
Alien implants reportedly come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and may remain in an individual’s body until they either disappear on their own or until they are removed by the individual or by the ETs who placed them there. Although many people don’t suffer ill effects from an implant, some do report pain and discomfort in the area, state that they can feel the object emitting heat or other types of energy, or report health problems that clear up after the implant has been removed.
Some individuals have reported that after an implant was removed, they initially felt very sick, but within a few weeks, they felt better and, in some cases, even better than during any period in their life. But whether an alien implant proves to be problematic or not, it is understandable that most people who have one would want to be rid of it as soon as possible. That doesn’t apply to every person or every type of implant, however.
What are they?
Not surprisingly, upon close examination, most suspected alien implants turn out to have Earthly origins and usually prove to be run-of-the-mill things such as insect bites, skin lesions, or natural or manmade objects that became imbedded in the body during the course of daily life. Generally, the deciding factors about whether an object is an alien implant are if it can’t be explained naturally and if it appeared in connection with a UFO sighting or ET close encounter. Even if an experiencer doesn’t remember having an implant placed in their body by an alien being, if there is no natural explanation and there was a contact event around the time the object was discovered, the odds of it being an alien implant rise significantly.
