On Episode 154: Abductions Stopped by Jesus, we sit down with MUFON Investigator Joe Jordan. Joe started out as a typical investigator, looking into people's reports of unidentified flying objects. But then, Joe began to come across cases of people being abducted by an unknown force. What is even more unusual is that he has collected well over 100 cases of these abductions that were stopped abruptly when the abductee claimed the name of Jesus Christ in the process of being abducted.

UFO abduction accounts of grey aliens taking people from their homes and examining them in their spaceships started becoming typical after the publication in 1981 of Budd Hopkins's book Missing Time. However, there is an early account with these elements in the 1977 book Abducted!: Confrontations With Beings From Outer Space by the founders of the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization, Coral and Jim Lorenzen. The case was investigated by APRO Field Investigator Kevin Randle and APRO Consultant and Director of Research Dr. James Harder. Years later, Randle presented his thoughts on the case, which provide some insight into how the typical UFO abduction narrative might have evolved. Read more →Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/podcast-ufo--5922140/support.

In Houston, Texas, the 1970s was a decade marred by violent crime. From high-risk adults to completely innocent children, the era saw little mercy. When 15-year-old Patricia “Pat” Humphreys, her sister Deb, and friends went to the Thunderbird Twin Drive Inn, it was supposed to be a carefree night. It was the first night, in fact, that Pat and Deb were given the responsibility of taking the family car out. But during intermission, Pat parted ways from the group, and she was never seen alive again.If you have any information about the murder of Patricia Kaye Humphreys, please contact the Homicide Unit at the Houston Police Department at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-8477. You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

Erica Amoreena recalls recalls having telekinetic abilities at a very early age and would regularly levitate objects. She recalls her first abduction experiences involving Gray extraterrestrials and human military forces from the age of 1½ due to her starseed background and genetic qualities that were being tracked.Amoreena describes how over the succeeding years, she and her younger sister were traumatized in MILABs, and manipulated into believing their Gray abductors were the only ones they could trust. Amoreena says that she was conditioned to believe her parents had let her down and her younger sister turned against her ending their close friendship.Amoreena recalls being taken to an underground military facility where captured human-looking ‘Nordic' extraterrestrials were kept imprisoned. She says the Grays and Draconian extraterrestrials used her to trick the captive Nordics to share information about themselves and their civilizations, and to finally brutally kill them in front of her while blaming her for their death.Amoreena says that she was regularly taken at night and used to travel through portals that the Grays, Draconians, and human military forces, including the German Dark Fleet would use in their dark projects. She describes sexual abuse at the hands of human military forces that was part of the trauma inflicted upon her.Amoreena describes how her journey to freedom began with a failed suicide attempt where she finally met her star family, who revealed her true life mission as a Galactic Envoy. She describes remembering that she had volunteered for her difficult human life in order to learn about everything the Dark Forces were using to manipulate humanity, and to help in the liberation of Earth to prevent a future galactic tyranny.Erica Amoreena's book is Girl, Stolen: A Collection of Memories (2024)Her website is: EricaAmoreena.comJoin Dr. Salla on Patreon for Early Releases, Webinar Perks and More.Visit https://Patreon.com/MichaelSalla/

From childhood sightings in rural Wyoming to missing time, telepathic interactions, vivid dreams of abduction, and high-speed UFOs witnessed with his wife in Oregon, Rob's story spans generations and geography. He shares chilling experiences from as early as age three, including shared sightings with family, visitations by strange beings, downloads of unknown information, and even a surreal encounter with dozens of small humanoids wandering through his apartment complex. We also hear of startling family revelations, like his mother's sudden admission of contact, and his father's vivid recollections of being aboard a craft watching Earth vanish from view. More than just a collection of sightings, this episode is a powerful reflection on memory, belief, and the strange ways these experiences shape a life.

In 2008, 21-year-old Denise Amber Lee was abducted from her home in North Port, Florida, and murdered. This case was widely reported on and became well known because of the circumstances surrounding her death. Despite multiple 911 calls, some operators failed to report their findings to law enforcement during the active kidnapping. This ultimately led to Denise not being found in time, when she was right under the nose of police officers stationed around the area. Denise herself even called 911 and tried to get help, but tragically, nothing worked to save her.
