THE ANCIENT ONES: The True Story of the UFO Contacts of Don Anderson

In 1984, 24-year-old Don Anderson of Spanish Fork, Utah woke up to see a gray alien inside his bedroom, taking away his 4-year-old son. Don leaped out of bed and informed the gray that if they were going to take his son, he wanted to join them. The gray agreed. Both Don and his son were taken onboard a craft where they were greeted by a female human-looking ET who gave them a tour of the craft. The ET informed Don of several events which would soon occur in his personal life. Don and his son were then returned.

This event caused a radical shift in Don's life. He recognized the gray as a friend and teacher, and he remembered having encountered him before. In fact, several bizarre events which Don had ignored, denied or explained away now suddenly made sense, and he realized he had been experiencing UFO contact his entire life. He remembered being visited and taken as a young boy. He remembered seeing a UFO and the gray at age ten, then being taken onboard a craft and taught how to perform telekinesis and about the aliens' technology. A missing time event at age fourteen now revealed itself to be an extensive onboard UFO encounter during which he was again taken beyond Earth and taught by the ETs. He even remembered a "pre-life" encounter during which his gray alien guide showed Don's mother giving birth to him!

Don, who had been religious, now realized that he was in contact with extraterrestrials. This began a lifelong search for answers. He also began experiencing a wide variety of paranormal events including precognition, out-of-body experiences, communication with spirits and more. And of course, more UFO encounters.

He once went camping with some friends (also UFO contactees) not far from the famous Skinwalker Ranch, hoping to initiate contact with praying mantis ETs. To the amazement of Don and his friends, a huge UFO showed up, followed by several mantis ETs. This culminated in a long and profound onboard encounter during which Don communicated with the praying mantis aliens who again gave him information about his personal life and showed him many strange and wonderful things onboard the craft.

It wasn't long before more encounters occurred. On one occasion, Don was visited by a familiar human-looking ET who cured him of a chest cold. On another occasion he was taken onboard and treated for a heart problem.

Don's encounters attracted the attention of the U.S. military who threatened him not to talk about his experiences. As a result, Don decided to go public. He spoke at conventions and began doing interviews and writing about his experiences. He even put together a website called "Path of Shaballa" (link below) to share the spiritual information he learned at the hands of the ETs. Shaballa can be translated as "Wisdom of the Ancient Ones."

Don's case is more extensive than most. He has worked hard to understand his encounters, learn from them, and share the wisdom he has been given. He says that while people are very interested in the physical aspects of his encounters, it is the spiritual information that is the most important and is the reason he decided to go public.

Don's full story is told in my book, "Wondrous: 25 True UFO Encounters," now available.
