In this compelling episode, we sit down with Rev. Michael J.S. Carter — ordained interfaith minister, Master of Divinity graduate from Union Theological Seminary, author, and longtime UFO experiencer. A frequent consultant and guest on History Channel’s Ancient Aliens, Carter has also appeared on Coast to Coast AM, George Noory’s Beyond Belief (Gaia), Steven Spielberg’s Abduction Diaries (Sci-Fi Channel), The Real 4400, and other major programs. His groundbreaking book Alien Scriptures: Extraterrestrials in the Holy Bible (praised by Whitley Strieber as “the best book ever written on the subject”) topped Amazon’s UFO charts and explores ancient religious texts through the lens of non-human intelligence. He has authored additional works including A New World If You Can Take It, Initiation: The Spiritual Transformation of the Experiencer, and others that bridge spirituality, consciousness, and contact. Carter opens up about his extraordinary journey into high strangeness, beginning with his first dramatic visitation by a Gray alien in his New York City apartment on December 28, 1989. What followed was a cascade of encounters with a diverse range of entities — classic Grays, reptilian beings, Nordic types, and even a praying mantis-like intelligence. These experiences led him to undergo hypnotic regression, unlocking deeper memories of abductions and interactions that stretch back to childhood. Prepare for a profound, eye-opening conversation that challenges the boundaries between faith, science, and the unknown as Rev. Carter shares how these contact experiences transformed his understanding of reality, spirituality, and humanity’s place in a populated cosmos. http://michaeljscarter.com Welcome to Let’s Get Freaky Podcast!
