What if your earliest memories weren’t dreams at all—but visitations? In this episode of Close Encounter Club, host Justin Gearheart speaks with ForbiddenSnackie, a lifelong experiencer whose connection to extraterrestrial beings began in early childhood. Raised in a devout Mormon household, she drew detailed pictures of aliens before she even had the words to describe them—beings she called her “night family.”

Over time, her memories expanded: telepathic communications, moments of missing time, and vivid encounters aboard craft that defied logic and gravity. But this isn’t just a story of abduction—it’s one of identity, consciousness, and rediscovering truths that were once hidden.

Join us as we explore one of the most emotionally resonant and symbolically rich accounts of contact we’ve ever heard.

The Adventures of a Hypnotherapist: "Was I Under?"

The Power of Past Life Regression

On a quiet night at a golf resort in Wyong, Australia, Clark Watson looked up and saw something that would change his life forever.

In this gripping episode, Clark recounts his extraordinary multi-night encounter with unexplained aerial phenomena—flashing lights, erratic movements, and a massive, silent triangular craft that hovered just above his balcony. He captured it all on video, but what followed was even stranger: time loss, emotional shifts, memory gaps, and a journey into deeper questions about consciousness, reality, and what these craft might really be.

Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, this is one of the most compelling UFO experiences you’ll hear—made even more powerful by Clark’s honesty and vivid detail.

Taken aboard a craft in broad daylight, Jeff comes face to face with the "Twins"—two grey aliens who offer him a disturbing glimpse into their work.

As Jeff learns the shocking reason for his repeated contact, he is also shown a vision of Earth's future—one where humanity's fate is no longer in its own hands. Are we on the brink of a planetary reset? Have we failed a test we didn’t even know we were taking? And what role do these beings truly play in our evolution?

This episode ties everything together, revealing the full scope of Jeff’s encounters and the unnerving implications they hold for all of us.

Mikaela had every intention of finishing her six-month contract aboard a cruise ship in Hawaii. She had just one week left. But then, without warning, an overwhelming voice told her to leave. No explanation. No logic. Just an undeniable feeling that she had to go—immediately. Days later, Lahaina was consumed by one of the deadliest wildfires in modern history.

Was it luck? Intuition? Or something more?

In this episode, Mikaela shares the eerie events that led to her escape, from a powerful experience with Lahaina’s legendary banyan tree to a voice in her head that has guided her more than once. We explore the strange connection between consciousness and quantum mechanics, the energy of Moldavite, and her multiple encounters with UAPs.

Sometimes, the hardest thing to do is trust a feeling. But what if it’s trying to save your life?

In The Rising: Part 2, Jeff Selver’s extraordinary encounters reach an entirely new level. After being abducted at 16 and shown glimpses of the afterlife in Part 1, Jeff now reveals what happened next—an experience so surreal it challenges everything we know about reality. He recounts piloting an extraterrestrial craft, the eerie yet instinctive connection he felt to its controls, and his journey to a breathtaking city on Venus, home to an advanced civilization beyond human comprehension.

But before any of that, Jeff made a life-altering decision—to leave behind all material possessions and live out of his car in the woods, compelled by an unshakable feeling that something was calling him. Isolated from the distractions of everyday life, he soon found himself guided by something far beyond his understanding. A glowing red orb deep in the forest, an unseen presence watching from the shadows, and an overwhelming sense that he was being prepared for something far greater.
