The Encounter

Courtney Butterbaugh is a lifelong experiencer from the US. She had a near-death experience at 18 months old and has had many unusual experiences throughout her life.

In 2020, she became severely ill with long COVID, which led to a spiritual awakening and the realization that she has been a lifelong contactee. During her illness, she had profound experiences, including a visit to an alien craft, which left her with body marks and a promise of healing. After her recovery, she continued to have contact experiences and sightings of UFOs.
