Close Encounters of the 5th Kind | Ep33

Close Encounters of the 5th Kind | Ep33

This week I am talking to Randall Fitzgerald about his book 'Alien in the Mirror: Extraterrestrial Contact Theories and Evidence'.

For independent-minded readers, those who want all of the theories and supporting evidence to make up their own minds, Alien in the Mirror brings refreshing clarity and sanity to a topic long shrouded in smoke and mirror confusion.

Encyclopedic in its scope and mind-expandingly rich in its detail, this book is destined to be a classic, written by an investigative reporter, Randall Fitzgerald, who has studied the alien contact phenomenon for over five decades.

All aspects of this controversial subject are comprehensively covered—ancient astronaut theories, UFOs and UFO occupants, contactees and abductees, the ideas of skeptics and debunkers, and the SETI science program and its detractors. Each of the five sections open with new findings and stunning revelations from the author’s own thorough investigations.

Alien in the Mirror is quite literally a condensation of information from hundreds of books. It represents the most authoritative and complete guide to the realm of extraterrestrial contact, theories and evidence, ever compiled. It presents a fascinating definitive history of the phenomenon, giving readers objective and essential information that challenges us to reexamine what we think we know about our consensus reality.

As the legendary theorist and scientist Jacques F. Vallée writes in his Foreword to Alien in the Mirror: “This book will stand as testimony to a well-traveled road of investigation and wonder. We should acknowledge it with gratitude, not only for its neat classification of complex events, but for the hope it gives us of a long-delayed, much welcome re-awakening of the true spirt of science after seventy years of slumber.”

Bio
Randall Fitzgerald’s ten books (and more than 50 books as a ghostwriter) have been pioneering explorations of a wide variety of topics, reflecting his diverse interests and an insatiable curiosity cultivated by 35 years as a newspaper and magazine journalist. For two decades he was a Roving Editor for Reader’s Digest and also wrote investigative feature articles for The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal.

He began his journalism career at 19, as a general assignment reporter for The Tyler Morning Telegraph, in Tyler, Texas. While in journalism school at the University of Texas at Austin, he worked as a political reporter in the state capitol bureau of The Houston Post and spent a semester as a Congressional Fellow in Washington, D.C., working as press secretary to a U.S. Congressman. In August 1974, the week that Richard Nixon resigned as President, he became an investigative reporter for newspaper syndicated columnist Jack Anderson, in Washington, D.C.

He received a grant from the Fund for Investigative Journalism in 1975 to investigate the Mafia and CIA connections of the publisher of The National Enquirer by going undercover as a reporter for the tabloid. His first book contract came from Pocket Books/Simon & Schuster, based on his Enquirer investigation. His second book appeared in 1979, from Macmillan, The Complete Book of Extraterrestrial Encounters, the cover of which was immortalized in Ron Howard’s extraterrestrial-themed film Cocoon. During 1978-80, he co-edited Second Look magazine, devoted to articles about the search for extraterrestrial life, the nature of consciousness, and the origins of civilization. He edited articles from some of the biggest names in science and science fiction---Isaac Asimov, Stanislaw Lem, Sir Fred Hoyle, Paul Davies, Sir Roger Penrose. In 2003 and 2004, he was a Senior Editor of Phenomena magazine, founded by former Hollywood studio executive Jeff Sagansky.

Two of his books, Lucky You! (2004, Citadel/Kensington) and The Hundred Year Lie (2006, Penguin/Dutton) were Amazon.com bestsellers. Lucky You! was the first book to examine the link between intuition and luck in games of chance and got distribution in Spanish, Japanese, and Korean editions. The Hundred Year Lie, about the impact of synthetic chemicals on human health, was also published by Beijing University Press in China, where it has been a perennial seller.

Based on his Lucky You! book, he was selected in 2005 as the media master of ceremonies for the 100th anniversary celebration of the founding of the city of Las Vegas, on behalf of the Fremont Street Experience, a collection of 10 casinos, including the Golden Nugget, along with the city of Las Vegas, giving live television interviews to dozens of local television stations nationwide.

He has been a guest on ABC’s The View, The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Dr. Mehmet Oz Show, The Michael Smerconish Show, Court TV, CBS’ 48 Hours, ABC’s 20/20, BBC and PBS Radio, and hundreds of other television and radio shows, including four appearances on The Coast-to-Coast radio show with George Noory.

The Gulf Breeze UFO Sightings

The Gulf Breeze UFO Sightings

These sightings, centered on a Florida contractor named Ed Walters. His story began quietly on the evening of November 11, 1987, when he claimed to see a glowing disc-shaped object hovering above his neighborhood in Gulf Breeze, Florida. Armed with a Polaroid camera, Walters captured a series of photographs that quickly became some of the most widely circulated UFO images of their time.Listeners will hear how Walters’ initial encounter sparked a wave of reports throughout the Gulf Coast community. Over the following months, he said the mysterious craft returned again and again, sometimes following him in his car, sometimes appearing over his house. He described beams of blue light, encounters with small glowing beings, and even telepathic communication from what he called “the visitors.”The episode traces the chain of events that followed: how local newspapers published his photos under the alias “Mr. X,” how national media descended on the small coastal town, and how organizations like MUFON (the Mutual UFO Network) sent investigators to examine the evidence. Optical physicist Dr. Bruce Maccabee would later analyze Walters’ Polaroids and conclude they showed no signs of manipulation. For many UFO researchers, the Gulf Breeze photos were the clearest visual record of a possible alien craft ever captured.But the story did not end there. Two years later, a model of a flying saucer, eerily similar to the craft in Walters’ pictures, was discovered in the attic of his former home. Reporters replicated his photos using the model, sparking fierce debate over whether the Gulf Breeze images were genuine or fabricated. Walters denied any connection, insisting the model had been planted to discredit him.Through archival recordings, eyewitness accounts, and interviews with investigators, this episode examines how the Gulf Breeze case evolved from a local mystery into a national phenomenon. We’ll also look at the cultural moment it created — a time when ordinary people with cameras were suddenly thrust into the center of the UFO conversation.Was Ed Walters documenting a genuine visitation, or did the story become larger than the truth?  https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Plan for the Alien Hybrids

The Plan for the Alien Hybrids

Jeff Selver, MBA, did not think of himself as an “aliens and UFO guy.” He was a financial advisor for a bank and worked in sales. Yet a bizarre and unexplainable traumatic event which occurred to him in his young adult years came back to haunt him. When he began investigating its cause, the same lights in the sky associated with the bizarre event from his past appeared just as they did twenty years prior. At this point he knew the experience was associated with an otherworldly presence. Suddenly, at the age of 41, screen memories came to light, and broken memories of unbelievable alien contact events began opening up. He would learn the details of this traumatic event that happened as a young adult matched what is now understood as a “genetic activation.” Understanding its origins opened a lifetime of obscured memories of alien contact.He then proved to himself that his memories were real by having knowledge about places in nature he had never been and corroboration (which continues to this day) of unique similarities between his contact events and so many other contactees, some details too specific to have been made up by his mind. He then began piecing together his story and his involvement with Grey aliens.Armed with a unique ability to recall his obscured memories in detail (in-part facilitated by the genetic activation), passing a lie-detector test, and videos of UFOs flying outside his apartment while he wrote his book (which can be seen on his website, www.jeffselver.com), Jeff tells his story.In December of 1997, Jeff experienced the Rising, which was an agreement with Grey aliens to discover his soul. It was an intense consciousness raising event, coupled with a genetic activation. The Rising required him to take a leap of faith, sell all his possessions, and begin a life traveling from place to place. This is “Into the Wild,” the alien contact version, complete with paranormal events, encounters with strange objects in the sky and with beings from beyond. In summary it is 26 contact events with Grey aliens, told in amazing detail, and spread out from the years 1993 to 2017.Fundamentally, Jeff was shown that what humans understand about spirituality, life after death, dimensions, God, the soul, and psychic powers, are just the beginning of what these beings are all about. And that their capacity, understanding, and utilization of these is much greater than humans can imagine.Jeff’s story shows that the only way we will ever be able to understand the Greys is to understand the power of our own personal spiritual potential. To assist with this, they gave him a manual of high spirituality addressed to humans he calls the Mystic Book.But by the end the message from them becomes clear, we need to get ready for a Grey alien presence on our planet.BioIn his twenties, Jeff Selver started his own band which had a modicum of success, packing clubs in the thriving Toronto music scene. He then found a passion for management and leadership which led him to a Master of Business Administration, writing his thesis on spiritual values in leadership and the effects on organizational performance. This led to his work in banks and into the corporate world as a motivational speaker, teaching mindful leadership, and sharing the benefits of meditation. He has been under the tutelage of a Vedic teacher for over twenty years where he learned Vedic philosophy and meditation. When his memories of alien contact came out Jeff began presenting on his contact events in UFO groups, sharing his story in detail, and providing research and corroboration with other experiencers. He currently resides in Vancouver, B.C. with his spouse.https://www.jeffselver.com/https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRXHSH1G https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

High Strangeness In Alien Abduction

High Strangeness In Alien Abduction

In this episode, we step into the mysterious and often unsettling world of “High Strangeness”, a phenomenon that stretches the limits of what people call reality. Drawing from first-hand testimonies, we explore experiences that range from the dreamlike to the downright impossible: encounters with non-human beings, moments when time and space seemed to fold in on themselves, and a deep sense that our world may be layered with something unseen.The experiencers don’t just describe “UFOs” or “abductions.” They describe entire experiences that blur categories, psychic messages, strange symbols, hybrid realities, and people who walk out of thin air. For Bonnie Mitchell, that meant discovering she was being placed inside “fake scenarios,” artificial worlds that she could eventually recognize as holographic tests. For Jo Stillwell, it was waking in his bedroom to find himself trapped inside a perfect pyramid made of his own bedsheets while a luminous, blue-lit being stood silently at the foot of his bed. And for Mike Clelland, it was camping alone under the Utah stars and realizing that the “light behind the bush” he dismissed as nothing might have been the start of a life-changing contact, one that later revealed itself in hypnosis to be connected to something far larger than a single night.Through these voices, “High Strangeness” takes us to the edge of reason, where normal explanations collapse. Listeners will hear about the emotional toll of these experiences, the struggle to remain grounded, and the search for meaning afterward. Some witnesses believe they were part of experiments; others describe messages about humanity’s future or their own spiritual evolution.What ties all of this together isn’t just mystery, it’s pattern. Across continents and decades, different people report eerily similar sensations: paralysis, blue light, missing time, telepathic commands, and the deep feeling of being watched by something both intelligent and beyond comprehension. https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Ariel School UFO Incident

The Ariel School UFO Incident

On September 16th of 1994, more than sixty schoolchildren witnessed something extraordinary during their morning recess. They described seeing a disc-shaped object land in a patch of bush near the schoolyard. Even more astonishing, many of them said small beings with large, black, oval-shaped eyes appeared beside the craft. The children reported that these figures did not speak but seemed to communicate directly into their minds, showing them visions of environmental destruction and warnings about the dangers of technology.What makes this case unique is not only the number of witnesses but also the consistency of their testimonies. Interviews conducted at the time show children of different ages and backgrounds describing the same event in calm, serious detail. Their drawings of the craft and beings were strikingly similar, suggesting a shared experience that could not easily be dismissed.Shortly after the incident, two well-known investigators documented the case. Cynthia Hind, a respected African UFO researcher, interviewed the children and collected their drawings. Soon after, Harvard psychiatrist Dr. John Mack traveled to Zimbabwe. He recorded hours of video testimony, concluding that the children were sincere and had been deeply affected by what they experienced.Nearly three decades later, many of those children, now adults, still speak about that day in the same terms. They continue to affirm what they saw and describe the event as one of the most vivid and impactful moments of their lives. Their consistency over time has kept the Ariel School UFO incident at the center of serious discussions about unexplained aerial phenomena.In this episode, we examine the details of the encounter itself, the messages the children claimed to receive, and the investigations that followed. We also consider why this case remains so significant in UFO research and how it has continued to influence the debate about human perception, memory, and the possibility of extraterrestrial contact.The Ariel School incident is not just a story about UFOs. It is also about the nature of witness testimony, the resilience of memory, and the challenges of investigating extraordinary claims.  https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The UFO Experiences of Lieutenant Colonel John Blitch

The UFO Experiences of Lieutenant Colonel John Blitch

John's soon to be published book 'THE ABDUCTION AMNESTY KNOT'In a time when governments admit the reality of UFOs and whistleblowers risk everything to testify about encounters with non-human intelligences, The Abduction Amnesty Knot dares to ask the hardest question of all: what now? Drawing on decades of military experience, behavioral science, and firsthand accounts from PRP-qualified service members, Dr. John G. Blitch, LTC, USA Retired, uncovers disturbing patterns of abduction, concealed technologies, and deep trauma—with evidence that’s physical, not just anecdotal.Part memoir, part manifesto, and part psychological reckoning, this book blends high-level military insight with deeply personal stories to challenge the limits of belief and open a case for something radical in the age of disclosure: forgiveness. With dark humor, unflinching analysis, and compassion for the abducted and the unaware alike, Blitch doesn’t just document the hidden truths of our past—he charts a course for the kind of future humanity may still be worthy of.BioDr. John G. Blitch (LTC USA RET) is a retired cognitive scientist and former DARPA Program Manager with a career spanning nuclear weapons delivery, Special Forces, and artificially intelligent robotics. In addition to his many military deployments, Colonel Blitch’s field experience includes a multitude of disaster response activities—most notably in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing (1995), World Trade Center attacks (2001), and Hurricane Katrina (2005). Holding a doctorate and multiple master's degrees in cognitive science and engineering, he has taught at the U.S. Air Force Academy and led pioneering research programs in robotics and human-machine teaming.Dr. Blitch’s work has taken him from war zones and classified laboratories to rubble piles, ski slopes, and mysterious mountain bike trails. Along his journey, he has accumulated a wealth of personal and professional experience that has compelled him to confront uncomfortable truths about artificial intelligence, hidden trauma, and institutional silence. Known for his unconventional thinking and sharp skepticism—often turned inward—he now dedicates his voice to advocating for truth, accountability, and above all, forgiveness in the face of unthinkable terror.https://www.fearfighter.org/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
