The Encounter

Richard Smith is a first contact advocate and a third generation experiencer. His encounters began at age four but became clearer at age 21. He met an entity he calls the crone, who resembles a praying mantis. She revealed that she had been watching over him and his brother since childhood. Richard experienced memories of being on a ship and interacting with the crone and other beings. One significant event involved him accidentally activating a device that caused chaos on the ship. This led to the crone taking control and teaching him about his abilities. After these experiences, Richard felt motivated to share his knowledge through art and writing. His encounters have shaped his worldview and inspired him to educate others about extraterrestrial phenomena.
