Ep.300 Crows Landing
James Pike recounts a trance-like UFO encounter during a nighttime drive along Interstate 5 and the synchronicities and telepathic experiences that followed.

The encounter
James Pike, a Southern California surfer and artist, joins us to describe a life-changing encounter on July 15, 2006. While driving north from Santa Barbara toward Portland at night, an object appeared as he travelled along Interstate 5 at around 65 miles per hour. His attention locked onto it and he entered a trance-like state during what he believes was a UFO encounter.
Earlier that year, James had experienced a premonition that he might die during a specific nighttime drive to Portland. Instead, the journey became the beginning of further encounters, synchronicities and telepathic experiences. Creating UFO-themed artwork and models has helped him process what happened.
