The Encounter

Kelly Chase is a researcher and podcast creator who discusses her experiences with UAPs and trauma. She had a significant UFO sighting at age 21 after facing personal challenges, including her father's death and a breakup. This sighting occurred during a time of emotional turmoil. Chase believes that trauma can unlock anomalous experiences by breaking down perceptual filters. She suggests that once someone has an initial experience, they may become more aware of other anomalous events. After her encounter, Chase's worldview changed, leading her to explore deeper questions about belief, consciousness, and the influence of the intelligence community on public perceptions of UAPs.
