There’s really no way to prepare for a UFO or alien encounter. Most people will likely never experience such an event, and when it comes to bizarre incidents, few can compare to these. Of course, the Roswell crash is at the forefront. Bigfoot? Not as much. Megalodon? Definitely not.
With so many stories circulating, it’s difficult to tell fact from fiction. Accounts of being subjected to medical experiments, restrained aboard an alien ship, or taken without awareness are common. The ten women featured here went through such experiences, but with a twist. Instead of horrifying outcomes, their encounters ended in an oddly peaceful manner. It was almost like a nightmare—frightening in the moment, yet harmless upon awakening. Whether you believe in them or not, these are their personal truths.
10. Sharon Gilbert
Sharon Gilbert, an author, reporter, co-host on SkywatchTV, geopolitics enthusiast, and Christian podcaster, juggles many roles daily. On the Jim Bakker Show, she shared her alien encounter. What makes Sharon's experience particularly intriguing is that it’s the opposite of the typical alien story. Most encounters begin with sighting the spacecraft first, followed by the aliens. However, Sharon’s experience had no warning signs. It began with a terrifying face-to-face encounter.
While lying in bed, she was visited by an alien disguised as her husband. As her husband slept beside her, something that appeared to be him lifted out of his body. She insisted the creature was attempting to engage with her. Their communication was telepathic. Before she removed the creature’s disguise, she told it, 'Jesus is real.' She later described the entity as a gargoyle-like being with reptilian features.
However, Gilbert never shared how the creature left the room. If it wasn't mentioned, it likely wasn’t considered significant. Once the story spread online, many responses were critical, but Sharon remained unfazed by public opinion.
9. Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera
Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera, an educator, entrepreneur, and community activist in South Florida, has always been deeply connected with a broad range of people. She even ran in the Republican primary for Florida’s 27th congressional district. With considerable local support, some questioned whether her 2009 interview about an alien encounter could hurt her political prospects.
Nonetheless, Rodriguez Aguilera never regretted or altered her account of the event. At the age of seven, she claimed to have been taken aboard a circular spaceship, where she encountered tall, blonde aliens—two women and a man. She never spoke of any hostility or experiments but said that the aliens shared knowledge with her. She recalled them telling her that 'the center of energy is in Africa' and 'God is a universal energy, not a person.'
8. Alex Dietrich
"I hope I’m not remembered as the UFO, Tic Tac person for the rest of my life. This is not how I imagined my future," said Lieutenant Commander Alex Dietrich in an interview about her UFO sighting on *60 Minutes*. In November 2004, while training with her colleagues, Dietrich spotted a UFO hovering over the ocean. The object moved at speeds beyond anything she had ever witnessed.
She never suggested seeing an alien or speculated on what the object might have been. It was simply an unidentified Tic-Tac-shaped craft—nothing more, nothing less. Dietrich didn’t show any particular interest in UFOs before or after the event, nor did she entertain the idea that it was anything beyond what she witnessed. For those who remain skeptical, does the story of a retired pilot’s UFO sighting change your mind?
7. Angelia Schultz—also known as Añjali
Angelia Schultz, who now goes by Añjali, ran as a Democratic candidate for South Dakota Senate and Secretary of State in 2014. Later, she revealed that she was a former defense intelligence official. On August 17, 2021, Añjali publicly discussed her alien encounter at a press conference held at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC.
She shared a story about meeting a couple at a coffee shop in Southern California, who later guided her to a hidden alien base. Although she never revealed the exact location in the Mojave Desert where she went in January 2010, she mentioned that the man she met had dug a tunnel on the side of a mountain. A bright light led them to the secret base, where she recalled seeing aliens with lavender skin and one that resembled a praying mantis. Communication with the aliens was telepathic.
During her press conference, she stated that she planned to return with others. As of now, there has been no confirmation of whether she went back to the base.
6. Dale Snipes
Dale Snipes, author of *78 Years of UFOs*, has experienced alien encounters since childhood. The most terrifying of these occurred at 3 am when an alien attempted to abduct her. On *UFO Witness*, she recounted how she woke up to a strange sound coming from the kitchen. Shortly after, an alien appeared in her room and communicated with her telepathically.
She described the alien, believed to be a Star Person, as wanting to show her something and asked if she would accompany it. Its intentions were unclear. Throughout the encounter, she tried repeatedly to wake her husband, even digging her nails into his arm, but he remained unresponsive. Eventually, the alien departed. The next morning, her husband showed her his arm, which was covered in bloody scratches.
5. Shel Marie
A UFO encounter at Alaska Pacific University left Shel Marie with a lifetime of emotional turmoil and thirty years of traumatic memory loss. On the *Aliens in Alaska* show, Shel allowed cameras into her hypnotherapy session to explore her experience.
During the session, Shel recalled stepping outside for a cigarette. She remembered looking up at the sky and noticing a large black object adorned with lights and covered in strange symbols. She mentioned that she would never have noticed the craft above her if she hadn’t happened to look up.
4. Geraldine Orozco
Geraldine Orozco experienced multiple pregnancies that ended in miscarriages, with no fetus ever being found. Despite seeking medical help, the cause remained a mystery—until October 2013, when she was taken aboard an alien spacecraft.
She recalled feeling paralyzed as she found herself surrounded by tall grey beings. While aboard the craft, she noticed her children were present. She realized they were part human, with their DNA mutated by alien genetics. Following the experience, she started a support group for women who believed their babies were taken from the womb for experimentation.
3. Lily Nova
You may have heard of her, or perhaps you haven't. Unlike most, Lily Nova’s encounters with aliens didn’t begin in her childhood. She wasn’t even actively searching for them. The COVID-19 pandemic in Missouri sparked her interest in astrophotography, which ultimately led to her first alien experiences.
Her first alien sighting occurred in November 2020 when she noticed several crafts flying over her neighborhood. As she spent more time outside, the encounters became more frequent. She reported seeing different types of aliens, most notably ones with blue skin and glowing skin with blonde hair. Instead of physical interactions, the aliens communicated by sending images of themselves telepathically.
2. Jane Nelms
Jane Nelms is no stranger to alien encounters. She shared her experiences with KLTV 7 News. In 1973, she reported being abducted by five extraterrestrials. Then, in the 1980s, she described a strange episode where she was pregnant, but after a terrifying night, she woke up no longer expecting.
Years later, Nelms joined a UFO group in Winnsboro, Texas. She recalled seeing a bright white light shining through every window in her house. She also heard rumors of a grey alien outside. When she went outside to investigate, she heard branches snapping and noise from the ship as it ascended into the sky.
1. Geri Julian
In the Jicarilla Apache Reservation, New Mexico, most things remain quiet—until Geraldine Julian spoke out about her encounter on *UFO Witness*. Rather than calling them 'extraterrestrials' or 'aliens,' Geri referred to them as 'disturbed people.'
The first encounter Geri remembered occurred when she was sitting outside and saw a craft fly down from behind a mountain. The craft descended toward her. Later that evening, two small beings attempted to force her out of bed. She recalled feeling paralyzed, unable to scream or move. Eventually, 'the disturbed people' left her in peace.
