About this episode

Les Velez discusses the implications of alien contact and the support provided to experiencers through OPUS.

Les Velez, co-founder and chairman of OPUS, conducts a deep discussion about alien abduction, experiencer support, UFO disclosure, entity encounters, implants, consciousness, anomalous symbols, and the psychological impact of contact experiences. Velez describes his early UFO sighting, his work with MUFON, the formation of OPUS, and how experiencer reports shifted his focus from “nuts-and-bolts” UFO investigation to the human side of anomalous contact. The conversation explores how OPUS supports experiencers through confidential groups, therapist referrals, and triage; why disclosure often avoids abduction and contact cases; and how phenomena such as poltergeist activity, automatic writing, military involvement, missing time, and altered states may connect to a larger mystery.
