Hollywood Actor Shares Wild Alien Encounter Stories - Thomas Jane | ep. 101

Summary

Actor Thomas Jane describes publicly, for the first time, a 2011 encounter in which three glowing, butterfly-shaped beings made of red and green laser-like threads hovered over him for hours, flashed complex geometric patterns, and waited for his mental consent before passing into his body. He says the experience changed his entire life, and it led to his book The Watch Guard, which collects obscure humanoid encounter cases and argues that human and non-human forces work together to control humanity's access to advanced technology. Along the way, he and host Chris Ramsay discuss the Bolivian 'bleeding alien' case, theosophy's influence on ufology, alien 'clades,' and the idea that love is a non-local force at the heart of the phenomenon.

Key takeaways

• 1Thomas Jane claims that in 2011, three 2D 'interdimensional butterfly' beings made of red and green laser threads entered his body only after he mentally gave permission, and that he 'woke up somebody else' the next day.
• 2Dr. Paul Parada case (2019, Bolivian wildfires): Parada says he stitched up a tall, blonde, hairless being who spoke telepathically and then left in a dark saucer. Lab tests on the saved blood reportedly showed human DNA with no male chromosomes and blood cells that never decayed.
• 3Donald Shrum/'Shawcross' case (Slanesville, West Virginia, 1982): a silver-suited being called itself 'the Watch Guard,' warned about nuclear waste, and spoke of hidden technology beneath the Sphinx. The witness was reportedly sunburned and later passed a lie detector test.
• 4Joseph Wanderka case (Austria, 1955): he rode his moped into a landed disc, where childlike beings claimed to come from Cassiopeia and wept at his account of world suffering.
• 5Jane narrated Steven Greer's documentary 'Sirius,' which featured Dr. Garry Nolan's genetic analysis of the Atacama humanoid.
• 6Gil Levin's Viking Labeled Release experiments in the 1970s are cited as evidence of microbial life on Mars that NASA never followed up on.
• 7Books and sources referenced include Leslie Kean's 'UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record' (2010), Edgar Mitchell's FREE experiencer study, David Webb's 1973 'Year of the Humanoids,' and Preston Dennett's case collections.

Transcript excerpt

I've always been terrified. Just in general? I think it's part of what I'm here to learn. You find meaning in everything once you have a purpose, a journey. And I think that it's time for us to make it okay to talk about this stuff. I don't have any answers. I have no clue, except for I know what happened to me. I know what I saw. And then, I never woke up. The next day, I was somebody else. Yeah, so I'm calling to report an incident to happen when I was active duty military U.S. Army in Kipzig, Germany in 2002. We were at the firing range, and a gigantic UFO appeared above us. And most people were, like, frozen in time, like, just frozen, including myself. But I could see. I could move my eyes. And I had a cigarette in my hand before the incident happened. And when it ended, the cigarette was burnt all the way down to the filter. So, we definitely lost time, like a few minutes. And I did hear a voice in my head speak to me. And what it said was that not to be afraid that they weren't going to harm us, but they were collecting a DNA scan. And ever since then, I have had some very strange streams, very strange downloads. I watch your podcast all the time and just wanted to leave this information that it definitely has happened to me. Welcome, Thomas Jane. Thank you. For those of you who are not familiar with some of your work, I would definitely type them out on IMDb. And you'll probably recognize a few movies, at least, at the very least, that you've been a part of. ...
