Contact - After Effects
These can include physical, psychological and emotional effects ranging from physical marks and implants, fear and anxiety to awe, inspiration and spiritual transformation.
Memory Loss / Relocation
Individuals might also find themselves in a different location from where they last remember being without any clear understanding of how they got there, or what may have taken place. They may also be aware of being in two places simultaneously (bilocation).
Screen Memories
People may have had false memories, or ‘screen memories’, implanted in their consciousness to replace or conceal the real events of their encounter or alter the timeline before, during and after the event.
Screen memories may involve a false memory of an encounter with an owl, deer, or clown, which often have over-sized eyes. The person may recall a train, aircraft, or bus, rather than a craft, for example. The encounter will therefore have an innocuous or logical parallel in their mind.

Physical Effects
Other effects reported by experiencers include unaccounted for pregnancies, fever, nausea, physiological energization and depletion, cancer and MS. Healings have also been reported.
Body Marks
A variety of distinctive markings can manifest in several forms, such as linear or grid-like patterns imprinted on their skin, scar-like Impressions, marks or burns which sometimes glow or fluoresce under ultra-violet light, and bruises and hand prints. These body markings are commonly found on forearms and hands, neck and shoulders and/or lower back and legs.
In some cases the experiencer recollects having an instrument utilised on them, or a being touching them, at the point where a marking is later found.
Implants
They have been known to fall out of nasal cavities and from under tongues by themselves, often surprising individuals. In some cases the objects have been seen to move of their own accord.
Examinations of extracted implants have either been inconclusive, or identified as known terrestrial materials. Alleged implants or foreign bodies not previously present are sometimes discovered in repeat medical examinations, x-rays or scans.
Electrical Sensitivity
Reducing exposure to EMFs by minimizing the use of electronic devices, using EMF shielding materials and creating low-EMF environments has proven useful for some.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Efforts to avoid reminders of the encounter, such as specific locations, activities, or even discussing the event can lead to significant changes in behaviour and lifestyle. As a result, individuals may experience increased anxiety and hyper vigilance, or a heightened startle response, often choosing to sleep with the light on and in some cases a weapon nearby. Sleeplessness, irritability and angry outbursts can also be experienced.
It is not uncommon for substance abuse to ensue close encounters with the increased use of alcohol or drugs to cope with distressing symptoms and emotional pain.
Feelings of derealisation (feeling that the world around them is unreal) and depersonalization (feeling detached from one’s body and oneself) are commonly reported.
They may feel alone, “different”, or out-of-step with society, some even feeling that humankind is no longer their real family, but their true family is among the stars.
Allergies and Autoimmune Disorders
In cases where individuals have been in close proximity to UFO/UAPs, sunburn and body marks akin to birth marks as well as vision impairment can occur. In some cases, these have become permanent conditions.
Increased Creativity
Creativity is also expressed through natural or spiritual healing modalities with many being drawn to hands on healing.
Psi and the Paranormal
Paranormal effects are often reported in the lives of experiencers or following contact including; out of body experiences, near death experiences, poltergeist activity, seeing ghostly apparitions, having visions or bizarre dreams that feel “more real” than ordinary reality, spontaneous out-of-body experiences and remote viewing, and prophetic or apocalyptic dreams.
The onset of precognitive abilities in the lives of those who report contact is not uncommon. The ability to perceive or predict future events can begin in childhood or develop spontaneously following a close encounter.
An enhanced sense of intuition or “knowing” things without a logical basis is commonly reported which can include an increased ability to sense danger, understand complex situations, or read people’s emotions more accurately.
While many experiencers struggle to integrate their encounters into their worldview, others find solace, spiritual growth, or meaning in their experiences.
Lifestyle Changes
Altered Worldview
Many develop an intense connection to and sense of responsibility for Earth’s well-being, and describe an innate understanding that humankind’s technology is out-of-balance with our species’ need for collective, intellectual and spiritual development and evolution.
