I’ve been hearing the term “Extreme Experiencer” lately, in regards to people who make claims of repeated extraordinary extraterrestrial encounters. The Extreme Experiencer is somebody who professes to have ongoing encounters with extraterrestrial beings, often claiming to have full recall of all memories of their “abduction” experiences.

The witnesses who testified at the most recent Congressional House Oversight Hearing on UAP transparency and whistleblower protection (September 9, 2025) were Jeffrey Nuccetelli (Air Force veteran), Alexandro Wiggins (Navy senior chief petty officer), George Knapp (journalist), and Dylan Borland (Air Force veteran). Plus, minority witness, Joe Spielberger, who provided additional testimony. 

Chris Ramsey and Area 52 released a short documentary with Chris Bledsoe, the often controversial experiencer who is best known as the author of the book UFO of God. Chris has told some pretty incomprehensible stories of events that he claims have happened to him in his regular waking life, though he did go through hypnotic regression in 2018 for more clarity on events that he had remembered from 2012. 

I really can't think of another phrase to describe the recent June 6 Wall Street Journal Article, “America’s UFO Mythology,” by Joel Schectman and Aruna Viswanatha, that explained away some of our most believable UFO sightings and witnesses to date. I call it Swamp Gas Journalism.

As I mentioned in my last few articles, I am a member of MUFON’s Experiencer Resource Team and I thought it would be a good idea to do a deep dive into MUFON’s ERT and tell you what we’re all about.

To start, MUFON’s Experiencer Resource Team or ERT is a group of MUFON Field Investigators with special training in compassion and helping people who have had contact or perceived contact with non-human intelligence.

Unaware Abductees are people who do not necessarily have memories of being abducted, but they have things like missing time, strange recurring dreams, feelings of floating up out of their beds, and other memories that sometimes mask an experience buried deep in the subconscious. The concept of Unaware Abductees has been around for decades, but who is helping them these days?

In the book entitled “The Threat” author David Jacobs talks about Unaware Abductees. These are people who have been abducted by aliens or non-human intelligences, but have no memory of those events. 

I was about 6 or 7 years old when I saw a UFO in San Diego in the 1970s. I did not know what a UFO was.
