Disclaimer = This is a list of people that i myself respect, believe(mostly) and follow. Each of these people were instrumental in my own awakening and not only concerning aliens. Many of these people helped me understand the real way the world works, from the healthcare industry/big pharma, the banking system, the military industrial complex, free energy etc.
Before I get into the people that I follow, I want to quickly explain a little more about my own background,experiences and my awakening process.
I have always been a questioner of the established "truths" given to us my whole life and i have always shown a great interest in UFO's and with the idea of are we really alone. Or are there many various lifeforms that live around us in the stars and visit us here on this little blue ball (yes flat earthers, the earth is not flat) that we call Earth. Earth is not smack dab in the middle of the action either, Earth is out in the boonies/outskirts of the Universe, so anyone or anything that visits us here, must have some serious technology and might be millions or billions of years more evolved than we are to even make this trip or possess unimaginable technology to get to us. And in doing so traveling through space and time!
My real awakening kicked off in 2012 even though it sounds cliche its very true. The energetic shifts really did something to me. I even found myself at Chichen Itza on December 21st 2012! I was there on vacation and wanted to visit the site, but wanted to avoid that specific day because I knew it would be a mad house there. We booked a trip the day before on the 20th, but on the day of the 20th, the hotel contacted me that they had an issue with the guide and couldn't visit that day. But there opened a few spots on the 21st and we could go. Long story short we went and that day there was spent walking around and feeling this very eerie vibe in the air, there were lots of people in circles chanting and singing. The sky was also very could and not sunny at all, this from what the locals told us was very unusual for that area that time of the year.
Flash forward to 2014 and i was in Japan on my honeymoon. We were on a train leaving Kyoto and on our right side my wife spotted a silver disc off in the distance, just hovering there in the air over a body of water. The clouds were passing over it, it was reflecting off the water and among other reasons I was definitely sure I was not looking at anything ordinary here. Could be ET or could have been a reversed engineered secret military craft. Not sure and not even really important, what was important was that from that moment I wanted to know more about what it could have been and that was when my level of research really kicked off until this day. All this info is out there for those who really want to see it, nothing difficult here.
There is lots of disinformation floating around in this field and many crazies out there, so discernment is key. This is easier said than done and takes lots of time and dedication, but like so many other things in life that are worthwhile and very important.
Generally what I do is listen to various people and resources, look at people that the UFO community respects and have shown a track record of many years of producing high quality info that has stood up to the test of time. Than i watch those people and watch who those people recommend or look up those people that have inspired those researchers and so on. Than I listen for info and try to have that info be corroborated by other researchers with no affiliation to prove further validity.
So without further delay and in no specific order, here are those people that I would strongly recommend you search for there info and see if it resonates with you. If not, move on to another who you do identify with and have a connection to and believe and find genuine.
I will go into a quick overview of each person and if anyone seems interesting please do your own digging on them and see what makes sense to you.
Simon Parkes
He is a life long contactee who lives in England. His Grandfather was MI6, his mother MI5 and served as a councilmen in various cities in England. He experienced contacts from beings known as Mantids and also reptilians from a very young age. The older he became more and more of his memories have come back and he has many interesting memories and information on a wide variety of subjects. He is very well spoken, his info never changes and his information is very good and concise.
David Icke
This man needs little introduction to most, he has been in the ufology and truth movement since the 90's. He was one of the first to talk about Reptilians on major stage and the wide manipulation of society towards a very specific end. He also ties all this into the archons which is artificial intelligence, which sadly is the true great evil and danger that we all need to worry about and address. More so that the reptilians even, who are themselves a slave to archon AI manipulation. Many things he talked about in the 90's like British Prime Minister Edward Heath being a pedophile later was validated.
Dr. Steven Greer
He has been around since the 90's as well, a former trauma doctor he left his job full time to advocate disclosure and has been doing this ever since. He is a very big name in the field and has meet with Rockefeller's, CIA directors, admirals etc. While i think he is a little in love with himself, he has done so much for disclosure and shared lots of great info backed by hard data and facts. His presentations are great for a beginner to start with and slowly move deeper down the rabbit hole.
Corey Goode
I put Corey right after Greer for a reason, Corey has been very controversial in the ufology field as many state he is making up lies to garner fame and money. Dr. Greer mentioned Goode specifically saying that the military industrial complex has tech so amazing that they can make people through a form of mental holographic tech have false memories where they can make you see your own personal god and it would be so real Greer states that you would be able to pass a lie detector. Greer thinks Goode was subject to this to spread false info.
Knowing this about Goode, I can tell you I have watched everything he has been in, his story never changes, he never has any holes, he explains things very well and has a very deep knowledge of the secret space program and alien beings that would be hard to simply make up with the story never changing. He says that he worked for the secret space program and did a 30 year program and than was regressed and time warped back to before he started. He goes into detail on what he did for the SSP and now what he does working with beings he calls the Blue Avians. If Corey is making all of this up than he should go into fictional writing and make a enormous sum of money!
David Wilcock
Also a big name in ufology, he has been around for a long time and is a great mind and thinker in this field. He always does great research and his presentations are excellent and thoroughly researched. He has a few weird notions, one of them is that he is the reincarnation of Edgar Cayce. You can look up Cayce, but who am i to say anything here. I do believe in reincarnation and it is possible.
David currently works very closely with Corey Goode, almost as a team and spread the Blue Avian message and the secret space programs latest news, info and message as well. David also has lots of interesting info on the law of one that ties into the blue avian beings Corey is in contact with.
Jason Quitt
Jason is a life long alien contactee, but not in the traditional sense, he has out of body astral travels where he leaves his body and can travel to other dimensions and meet with other beings. I know this sounds far fetched, but again he is very well spoken, his message is very good and presents lots of great information. If you goal here is to see pictures of UFO crafts and go alien hunting, he is not the person for you to follow. Jason speaks of the earths history, Atlantean history, astral travels and ancient Egypt.
Alex Collier
Alex first made it onto the scene in the 90's when not many were discussing the subjects he was. He is also a lifelong contactee with the Andromedan's who are a 5th dimension alien race. He was one of the first to discuss the Reptilians, god/source from how the Aliens perceive it, also he mentions a very ancient race of aliens that are known as the builder race that might have been one of the first to colonize and terraform this galaxy as we know it today. Alex has suffered much, lost jobs, marriages and been homeless. He does not spread his message to make money or garner fame, because he has not achieved any of this, he simply wants the message of service to others to get out.
Richard Dolan
Richard has also been on the scene for a long time, he is a great researcher and historian. Everything he talks about and presents comes from lots and lots of research on his end. He is very well spoken and a genuine person. He is not on the scene to simply make money, he is here to open peoples minds. Interestingly enough, he is one of the ones recently that has come out against Corey Goode and stated that he is not a big believer of his because he cant verify any of Corey's claims and i think that is a fair enough statement.
Kerry Cassidy
She is a journalist and researcher who runs project camelot . They interview many different people from different backgrounds and walks of life generally in the field of the paranormal, but can also talk about financial manipulation, false flags etc. Many great researchers and contactees I first found as a result of her YouTube channel and her interviews. I think she is a great resource and has done much to spread this information to a mass audience.
Personally sometimes Kerry's interview style of constantly cutting off her guests and being very pushy can get annoying, but her heart is in the right place. If you look through her old project camelot videos there are lots of great ones to see. I will put a link to the late great William Tompkins interview she did with him. He is also someone to research.
Bob Dean
Bob Dean is a member of the "old boys club" and has been in the UFO community and disclosure movement since the beginning. He had a very high clearance in the Military where UFO documents were presented to him and he was briefed on various types Aliens as well. He is an alien contactee as well and presents a very intelligent, articulate flow of information that is very interesting. He is very credible with the military career to back up what he says. One of the most genuine presenters you will ever see.
Graham Hancock
He is a very legitimate researcher, explorer and journalist. He has traveled the world finding historical artifacts and anomalies in the way the "mainstream" historians and archeologists present the accepted history of Earth. His big initial work was titled "Finger Prints of the Gods". He raises many great questions and mentions many archeological sites that defy the mainstream account of human kinds history
Last but definitely not least is Jordan Sather. I accidentally stumbled upon his YouTube channel Destroying the Illusion and was blown away by his incite and level of information . He is very well spoken and easy to understand. He researches various subjects and gives great daily news updates on everything going on, from Q Anon to false flags, to health and everything in between. A great person to follow if you want a daily update to news and events.
Honorable mentions of more great researchers and contactees that I simply don't have the time to go into here otherwise this article would never end, but please search for them on your own and see what information resonates with you!
