Summary

In this episode of the Alien UFO Podcast, host Simon Bown reconnects with Mary Rodwell, a renowned researcher and founder of the Australian Close Encounters Resource Network. Rodwell shares her extensive expertise on the extraterrestrial contact phenomenon and the concept of the New Human. Drawing from her background in nursing, counseling, and hypnotherapy, she explains how she transitioned from conventional medicine to investigating the multidimensional nature of human existence and its connection to non-human intelligences. A central theme of the discussion is the transformative power of contact experiences. Rodwell notes that, contrary to popular fear-based narratives, many individuals undergo profound psycho-spiritual growth after their encounters, often describing the process as a modern-day shamanic awakening. She also delves into the use of screen memories, such as owls or clowns, and the fact that a large percentage of contact events occur out-of-body rather than physically. By framing these encounters as matters of expanded consciousness, Rodwell highlights the urgent need for better professional support systems for experiencers, encouraging listeners to embrace their multidimensional nature despite the limitations of consensus reality.

Bio

MARY RODWELL is recognised internationally as one of Australia’s leading researchers and writers in the UFO and contact phenomenon areas. Mary is the author of the highly acclaimed book ‘Awakening: How Extraterrestrial Contact Can Transform Your Life’ (2002); and producer of EBE award winning documentaries:- Expressions of ET Contact: A Visual Blueprint? (2000), and Expressions of ET Contact: A Communication and Healing Blueprint? (2004). Her new book ‘The New Human’ which describes and documents star children is due to be released in late 2016.

Mary is the Founder and Principal of Australian Close Encounter Resource Network (ACERN) which was established in 1997 to provide professional counselling, support, hypnotherapy and information to individuals and their families with ‘anomalous’ paranormal experiences and abduction-­‐contact experiences. Mary is also Director and Chair of the Experiencer Support Programs of Dr Edgar Mitchell: Foundation for Research into Extra-­‐terrestrial Encounters (FREE); and an advisory Committee member of Exopolitics (www.etworldpeace.com). Mary also organised the inaugural 'Hidden Truths' international conference held in Perth, Western Australia in 2003.

Mary has researched more than 3000 cases and suggests extraterrestrial encounters are a global phenomenon and this is evident in the new humans referred to as star children. Mary affirms that star children exhibit a maturity and wisdom beyond their years and have an awareness and connection to spiritual realms. ‘Indigo’s’ or ‘crystal’ children as they are also known have telepathic abilities, are spiritually awakened, and can describe many species of non-­‐human visitors with a feeling that they are as real to them as their ‘real’ family because they feel supported by them.

Mary’s research also explores evidence from a scientific, biological, psychological, anthropological, spiritual and historical perspective to support what she believes is a ‘genetic’ engineering program, for ‘upgrading’ homo sapiens, leading to a paradigm shift in human consciousness. Data suggests children are being altered and transformed on many levels through extraterrestrial encounters.Some of the latest DNA research that could qualify how this upgrading may occur and how it may be linked to such conditions such as ADHD, Asperger’s and possibly Autism is also explored as many of these individuals demonstrate awareness of the non-­‐physical realms.

Although  many  medical  professionals  claim to be  sceptical about Contact experience, in November 2003  Mary’s  work was featured and she was interviewed for the article Alien Invasion: Why  We  Need  to  Believe  in  Australian  Doctor Focus Magazine, and a growing number of professionals in the medical community now share similar conclusions and have spoken publicly.  These   people   include   the   late   world-­‐ renowned Harvard Medical School  professor  of  psychiatry,  Dr. John E. Mack, author of Passport to the Cosmos and Dr. Janet Colli,  author  of  Sacred Encounters.

Mary has lectured in Hong Kong, USA, Canada, Hawaii, UK, Ireland, France, Malta and New Zealand, appearing regularly in national and international media news programs and in documentaries including; OZ Files, My Mum Talks to Aliens featured on SBS Australia in 2010, and now shown globally. Paranormal Files in the UK for BBC TV, and Animal  X for the Discovery Channel, as well as participating in University debate forums on this phenomenon, including Oxford University, UK in 2006 and Australian National University, Canberra in 2010.

Mary’s full profile was included in the Biographical Encyclopaedia of People in Ufology and Scientific Extraterrestrial Research (2008) for Times SQ Press. In addition, Mary has also produced a collection of meditation and relaxation CD’s. For further information please visit www.newmindrecords.com. Awakening: How Extraterrestrial Contact Can Transform your  Life was re-­‐published by  New Mind  Publishers in  2010 and author and Physician, Dr Roger Leir was quoted as saying, “In my opinion this book will become the Bible of the Alien Abduction Phenomenon.”

Mary was born in the United Kingdom (UK) and migrated to Western Australia in 1991 and now resides in Queensland. Mary is a former nurse, midwife, and health educator and was employed as a professional counsellor for the National Health Service UK and Australian counselling agencies, Silver Chain and Centrecare. Since 1994 Mary

UFOS: Not For Disclosure

Jul 6, 202656 minSummary

In this episode of the Alien UFO Podcast, host Simon Bown sits down with Jonathan Kaplan, a distinguished King’s Counsel and longtime Ufology researcher, to discuss his new book, Not for Disclosure: UFOs, the World’s Best Kept Secret. Drawing on fifty years of research and insights from highly placed intelligence contacts, Kaplan provides a compelling look at the history of crashed extraterrestrial craft and the global efforts to keep them hidden. The conversation explores the reality of crash retrievals, from the 1933 Magenta crash in Italy to incidents in the United States, Russia, and beyond. Kaplan argues that these events are not mere myths but are part of a highly classified effort by world powers to reverse-engineer advanced technology. He details the roles of special access programs and the use of private defense contractors to maintain secrecy. Additionally, the discussion touches upon the authenticity of the Majestic 12 documents and the Special Operations Manual, which Kaplan maintains offer a genuine, historical account of how governments have managed the discovery of non-human intelligence since the 1940s, balancing the public’s right to know against concerns about global stability.

Alien/Human Hybrids

Jul 4, 202611 minSummary

In this episode of the Alien UFO Podcast, the host explores the complex biological challenges surrounding the concept of alien-human hybrids. Drawing from the book Investigating the Impossible: Biology Offers New Answers and Insights by Steve Aspen and Andreas Lux, the discussion delves into why creating true biological hybrids between humans and extraterrestrials would be incredibly difficult due to profound genetic and cellular incompatibilities. The episode proposes an intriguing alternative theory: rather than being true hybrids, the beings reported by abductees may actually be transgenic humans. These entities are potentially created through in vitro fertilization and the insertion of specific non-human or synthetic genes at an early embryonic stage. The host examines the possibility that these ongoing abduction programs are focused on long-term genetic modifications or the introduction of genetic markers. Furthermore, the discussion touches upon the provocative idea that these programs may aim to reduce aggressive human behaviors—such as those linked to testosterone—to prevent future global conflicts. This deep dive into the intersection of genetics, biology, and extraterrestrial testimony provides a thought-provoking look at the mystery behind these reported encounters.

The Science Behind Alien Encounters

Jul 3, 20261h 2mSummary

In this episode of Alien UFO Podcast, host Simon Bown interviews engineer and author Dr. Robert Farrell to explore the scientific principles behind Unidentified Flying Objects. Moving away from speculative theories involving time travel or parallel dimensions, Dr. Farrell emphasizes a "nuts and bolts" approach, utilizing his background in engineering to interpret UFO phenomena through the lens of physics. The discussion centers on the hypothesis that these crafts utilize advanced gravitational field propulsion. Dr. Farrell presents various pieces of evidence, including eyewitness reports from pilots, radar data, and physical anomalies—such as the rapid freezing of water and the displacement of dust—to suggest that extraterrestrial vehicles manipulate negative gravitational fields. Furthermore, the episode delves into the work of Zecharia Sitchin, connecting ancient Sumerian mythology and the Anunnaki to modern observations. Dr. Farrell also analyzes the potential link between 20th-century nuclear testing and increased UFO activity, proposing that human technological advancements, particularly in atomic energy, likely drew the attention of extraterrestrial visitors. The conversation offers a thought-provoking look at how scientific logic and ancient history might converge to explain the ongoing mystery of alien encounters.

Alien-Human Hybrids

Jun 29, 202657 minSummary

In this episode of the Alien UFO Podcast, host Simon Baum invites guests Steve Aspen and Dr. Andreas Luck to discuss the complex and often controversial subject of alien-human hybrids. Drawing from their book, Investigating the Impossible, the conversation delves into the biological feasibility of such beings. Dr. Luck, a molecular biologist and geneticist, provides a critical scientific framework, explaining that true hybridization between species is incredibly difficult due to the precise biochemical and genetic requirements of human development. The hosts explore David Jacobs’ five phases of hybridization, noting that in later stages, these beings appear indistinguishable from humans. They argue that these advanced entities are likely not true hybrids, but rather transgenics—humans with specific genetic modifications designed for integration into our society. The discussion also touches upon the persistent theme of multi-generational genetic alteration, with the guests drawing parallels to laboratory research where specific traits are tracked across successive generations. Ultimately, the episode challenges listeners to consider whether these interactions are a highly advanced technological project or a biological impossibility, sparking a deep inquiry into the nature of human existence and potential non-human interference.
