My Story (A true story)

This is important for humanity!

From Accross The Galaxy

In 1978, at the age of 10, I witnessed something that would forever shape the course of my life.

It began as a distant light in the sky — something I initially mistook for a star. But in a split second, it revealed its true nature. From somewhere high in the firmament, a craft — unmistakably a UFO — streaked through the night sky and halted in midair no more than 50 feet away from me. The flight path, shape, and motion were as clear to me then as if it were daytime.

It wasn’t just the appearance that stunned me — it was how it moved. It showed no signs of deceleration. One moment it was impossibly far, the next it was there, hovering. The shape? Like a dimond with the bottom tip cut off. Color? Silver. A band of glass from about one third the distance from the top. A light of sort was going arround inside the band of glass very rapidly. Then, from beneath the craft, a beam of radiant light — a pillar of light — extended downward, as if connecting the bottom of the craft and the earth.

Overwhelmed, I instinctively turned to run, yet I couldn’t take my eyes off it. And then, just as suddenly as it had arrived, it departed. It launched itself skyward with a burst of light, leaving behind a luminous streak, as though it had leapt into hyperspace — just like the USS Enterprise from Star Trek.

It was spectacular, otherworldly — and it left an imprint on my soul that still burns today.

The implications of that moment were far beyond my comprehension at the time. But as the years passed, experience and knowledge began to bring clarity. Consider, for a moment, the emotional and intellectual intelligence required to design such a craft — the sheer density of knowledge embedded in its existence. A civilization capable of that level of mastery could easily dominate, even annihilate, our world if it desired. Yet, it does not. Instead, it observes. It visits. Perhaps it even guides — quietly, purposefully — as it has done since the dawn of our civilization, and possibly long before.

What kind of benevolent restraint or higher purpose must such beings possess? What knowledge or technology might they hold — knowledge capable of transforming humanity, extending life, or awakening the divine potential that already lies dormant within us?

Beings With Unbelievable Power

A few weeks later, I was awakened in the middle of the night by an overwhelming sense that something—or someone—was in the room. As I opened my eyes, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing: three beings hovering in the air beside my bed. They wore long, black cloaks, eerily reminiscent of the Grim Reaper. Their faces, hands, and feet were completely hidden—only the dark, flowing fabric of their cloaks was visible. Suspended a few feet above the floor, they floated silently, watching.

Convinced they were ghosts, I instinctively turned away from them and faced my brother, who was sleeping beside me. Then, without warning, I felt my entire body begin to rise into the air. There were no hands lifting me—nothing I could see or feel that should’ve explained the levitation. Panicked, I reached out and tried to grab my brother’s leg, desperate to anchor myself—but I slipped away into unconsciousness. It felt just like being put under anesthesia: sudden, total, and absolute.

The next day, I woke up unusually late—somewhere around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. When I looked out the window, the street was eerily empty. I couldn’t see any of the neighbors, and a strange thought crossed my mind: Had they taken everyone and left me behind?

A moment later, my brother burst into the house calling my name, asking if I wanted to come outside and play. Before I could respond, my mother stopped him. “Leave him alone,” she said softly. She walked into the room, sat beside me, and gently ran her fingers through my hair. “What’s happening to you?” she asked with quiet concern.

Correlations With Holy Scriptures

As a young child, I used to enjoy watching the family-centered commercials from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Little did I know that one day I would become convinced that I was meant to become a prophet of that very church.

I’m not here to convince you that God foreordained me to be a prophet. Rather, I’m here to share the life experiences that led me to believe I was supposed to be.

It would be easy—perhaps even natural—for you, the reader, to judge my conclusion as implausible or overly ambitious. But what’s far more important, and deeply human, is the journey that brought me to that belief.

The value of my story doesn’t rest on whether the calling was ever fulfilled in any official or formal sense. Its value lies in how that belief moved me, transformed me, and compelled me to pursue righteousness.

Many prophets in scripture experienced similar paths. They felt called long before anyone else saw it—some were never formally acknowledged at all. Yet they fulfilled their mission simply by listening, following, and bearing witness. As Revelation 19:10 declares, “...for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

In June 1978, Spencer W. Kimball, then-President and prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, announced a revelation that extended priesthood ordination and temple blessings to all worthy male members of the Church, regardless of race or ethnicity.

I believe with all my heart that the experiences I had in the spring of 1978—including a UFO sighting and an encounter with three beings—are intrinsically connected to that revelation, as well as to many scripture passages, particularly in the Bible.

Let me explain.

It should not come as a surprise to humanity that UFOs could be part of God’s creation—if you truly believe in an omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent God.

The Bible does not go into detail about other worlds or other beings because it was simply not the right time for humanity to receive that revelation.

What about the dinosaurs, you may ask? Well, if God had inspired Moses or any of the other prophets to write about dinosaurs in the Bible, the message could have lost all credibility from the start. People would have gone looking for dinosaurs, and not finding them, might have dismissed the scriptures entirely. Instead, God inspired Moses to write Genesis 1:20, where it states: “…Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth…”

In modern scripture (Book of Mormon, D&C, Pearl of Great Price), we are given a glimpse of this greater reality. In Doctrine and Covenants 76:112, we read about God’s other creations: “…but where God and Christ dwell they cannot come, worlds without end.”

This phrase reminds us that God’s works are infinite, His creations without number, and His dominion extends far beyond what we see on Earth.

In Joseph Smith—History 1:16, it reads:

“I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me.”

The pillar of light I saw wasn’t directly above my head, but suffice it to say—I saw a pillar of light that came from the heavens.

In verse 17, Joseph continues:

“I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air...”

The three beings I saw were not radiant or shining, but they were most definitely standing in the air.

Before I go on, I ask two things of you.

First, put on your imagination hat. If you’re not open-minded in how you interpret the data and stories I share, you’ll miss the meaning.

Second, follow the counsel found in Alma 12:10—"…soften your heart..." and let the Spirit guide your understanding.

Let’s revisit Exodus 3:1–6, where Moses describes the “burning bush.”

Moses records that “the bush was not consumed” by the fire. I believe this doesn’t necessarily mean the bush was literally burning, but rather that it was enveloped in an intense, radiant light. In Moses’ time, the vocabulary to describe light—other than that of the Sun, Moon, or stars—may have been limited. Without a precise term for such brilliance, he may have chosen “fire” as the closest description, capturing both its dazzling appearance and its awe-inspiring intensity.

In the same vein, the Israelites were guided at night by what was described as a “pillar of fire” to give them light (Exodus 13:21–22). Again, I believe they saw a pillar of light, not fire—language simply limited their expression.

By the time Joseph Smith came onto the scene, vocabulary had evolved. He used the words “pillar of light,” more accurately describing what he witnessed.

Particularly striking is the fact that the UFO I had an encounter with in 1978 originally appeared to be a star in the firmament. Remember the story about a star guiding the wise men to Jesus? (see Matthew 2:1–12) Well, stars are fixed objects in the firmament. They don’t move to guide anyone, anywhere. I believe they saw the same or similar UFO that I saw except it did not come close enough to be identified as such because it was not the right time and place to have that “revelation”. It was once again, men describing experiences they were having with a limited data and vocabulary.

In Matthew 14:22–33 we have the account of Jesus walking on water. Hear me out. What if he really was not walking on water? What if he was just levitated in the air just above the surface of the water and the disciples saw him, they reasonably concluded that he was walking on water and so they described it as such. In that same line of thinking, when Peter started “walking” on water, maybe it was Jesus causing him to be levitated in the air just above the surface of the water (just like the 3 beings levitated me in the air in 1978) and the disciples described what they “thought” they had seen.

In 1978, the Lord needed to reveal TO ME even more about what lies behind that pillar of light and about beings with the supernatural ability to control matter at will—because it would serve as a bridge to future revelations that could not otherwise be linked to the past through existing scripture. My encounter was not isolated or random; it was part of a recursive pattern in divine communication—a spiritual echo through time.

There is much to be learned from the two experiences mentioned above—not only from what is directly described, but also through inductive reasoning. Let’s explore a couple of key insights.

An interstellar craft moving at the speed depicted in science fiction films challenges the idea that such concepts are merely fictional. Instead, it suggests that there is still a vast amount we need to understand about physics, space travel, and other disciplines essential to acquiring that level of knowledge—knowledge that would undoubtedly impact every aspect of our daily lives, including our life expectancy.

Could we one day see a tricorder in our doctor’s office? I believe we will. In fact, we already possess technology that performs many of the same functions—just not at that level of miniaturization or integration.

More importantly, those beings that levitated me in the air have the ability to control matter at will (Just like Jesus Christ did when He multiplied the fish and the bread) and such power raises a profound question: could such beings resurrect the dead, just as Jesus Christ did? I believe the answer is a resounding yes.

The follow-up question then becomes clear: Do we deserve it?

MORE THAN THE HOLY SPIRIT

From the scriptures, we learn about the Holy Spirit—how prophets were inspired by the Spirit to write what became sacred text. For centuries, people had to rely on faith alone to believe this process was real. But now, with the knowledge humanity has gained, we can compare scripture with science and, through inductive reasoning, reasonably conclude that there truly was an Intelligence—God—who used a medium, the Holy Spirit, to influence the minds of prophets and inspire their writings.

Let me explain.

In Psalm 139:16, the prophet David—still a young king—wrote about something that, in hindsight, resembles DNA:

“Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.”

At first glance, this doesn’t immediately seem to describe DNA. But consider a simplified definition: DNA is a substance, “unperfect” in the sense that telomeres are not copied exactly during cell division. It encodes all the “members” of the body—eyes, kidneys, lungs—long before they exist. Before your parents ever united in holy matrimony, you were already determined to be you.

This means that thousands of years before humanity discovered DNA in 1869, David wrote a psalm of praise that contained knowledge hidden within it. How did that knowledge reach his mind? That was no accident. God, in His infinite wisdom, did not burden David with advanced scientific language that early humanity could not grasp. Instead, He inspired David to write words of worship that, much later, would reveal a deeper meaning. Information was embedded in scripture as part of a recursive pattern of divine communication.

And this is not an isolated case. Hold on to your sneakers and tighten your laces—this is going to be extreme!

In Genesis 2:21–22, Moses describes God taking the rib of Adam and creating Eve. Look closer: the rib contained Adam’s DNA. God used it to form another human being, but this time changed the sex—an ancient description that parallels what we now call cloning or CRISPR-like genetic modification. You might not see it immediately, but soften your heart, and perhaps you will.

So what does it really mean to be “inspired by the Holy Spirit”? Exactly, I don’t fully know. But I see parallels with modern technology—like Wi-Fi. In the divine context: God (the source) inspires prophets through the Holy Spirit (the medium) to write scripture (the message). In Wi-Fi: a satellite (the source) sends a signal (the medium) to a cell phone (the receiver). In both, there is a sender, a medium, and a receiver.

Have you ever heard of teleportation—outside of Star Trek? Scripture has an example: Acts 12:7.

There are many other references in scripture that parallel scientific principles. The greater point, however, is this: these writings were recorded thousands of years ago with the clear intent that we would discover their hidden layers now. They testify that a higher Intelligence has always influenced the human mind.

And this brings me to my own life.

Throughout my journey, I’ve had several profound experiences that convinced me not all of my thoughts originate in my own brain.

On September 11, 2001, I felt an urgent inner voice: “Get out of here.” It meant, “Get away from the Twin Towers.” That voice saved my life.

In the fall of 2005, shortly after my baptism into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a persistent thought entered my mind: “The key to unlocking the DNA is in the fingerprints.” That repeated impression showed me that something was guiding my thoughts—not to control me, but to direct me.

In the spring of 2006, another voice told me to move to Salt Lake City. That prompting taught me how to truly follow the Spirit.

But between May and June of that same year, a darker voice repeated: “Kill the prophet.”

FULL STOP. This could not have been the same Spirit I had heard before. At the time, I mistakenly thought it was directing me, urging me, to harm Gordon B. Hinckley, then the living prophet. Of course, I would never do such a thing. Later, I realized it wasn’t commanding me at all—it was an evil influence, perhaps directing others, to kill me.

That moment was a turning point. I learned that there are indeed both good and evil forces influencing human thought. Sometimes they whisper, sometimes they shout—but they are real, and they affect us in different ways.

In the end, it doesn’t matter whether you believe these things actually happened to me. I’m not here to convince you. I’m simply sharing the experiences of my life, how I understood them then, and how I interpret them now.

A PERSONAL PLEA

Why did those beings take me away—and then bring me back?

That question has burned in my mind for years.

After everything I’ve experienced, I’ve reached a powerful conclusion: messages were left in my mind in the form of engrams—deep, lasting mental imprints. Why not simply “inspire” me by beaming the good messages directly into my brain? I believe the reason is twofold: first, such transmissions would inevitably reach unworthy individuals as well; second, certain events had to unfold before those messages could be safely revealed to the world.

I have a few ideas on how to test this theory—but every one of them depends on one critical factor: resources.

Bottom line? I need funding to confirm or disprove these theories.

I’ve reached out to government agencies and church leaders, hoping they would see the potential in my story. But instead, I’ve been dismissed—as if my experiences were nothing more than delusions of grandeur. And yet... they fund so many other projects. Why not give someone like me a chance?

So now, I’m reaching out to you—the reader.

If you feel even a sliver of curiosity, a spark of belief, or a desire to help uncover something that could change how we understand reality, consider making a donation! I’ve made it easy to donate through the platforms listed below. Even the smallest contribution helps.

If I’m wrong, and there’s nothing encoded in my mind, then perhaps your donation was just the cost of a movie ticket—an experience, a story.

But if I’m right…

Then we—you and I—might be part of something extraordinary. A discovery that no one saw coming. A gift to humanity.

Whether or not you choose to contribute, I wish you peace, clarity, and strength. And above all, I ask just one thing:

Make a personal commitment to yourself—and to the world—to always strive to be the best version of who you are. And no matter what life throws at you, always choose to do what is right.

I TESTIFY OF THESE THINGS IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, AMEN!
