Bledsoe's Extraordinary UFO/Paranormal Experiences
Chris Bledsoe’s encounters have transformed his faith, intertwining his religious beliefs with his extraordinary experiences, despite facing skepticism and challenges from his faith community.
Chris Bledsoe, once a devout Baptist and later a Pentecostal deacon, faced considerable challenges from his faith community after his UFO experiences, which were viewed with suspicion and even labeled demonic. Despite the adversity, these encounters only served to reinforce Bledsoe's faith. He recounts feeling stronger in his faith than ever before and has dedicated his life to sharing his story and its impact on his spiritual beliefs. Initially a man deeply rooted in traditional Christian views, Bledsoe’s experiences led to issues within his faith community, particularly after he and his family began witnessing paranormal events together, with skeptics accusing him of engaging with demonic forces.
Bledsoe interprets his encounters as being from the "divine world," contrasting them with the fearful extraterrestrial stereotypes of popular culture. His experiences involve a multitude of Biblical themes such as angels, the Trinity, and prophetic warnings. He likens the entity he met to the Holy Spirit, expressing that feminine aspects of the divine have been historically oppressed and should be recognized as part of a celestial triad.
His subsequent sightings, which occur annually and have been shared with his family, seemingly reinforce sacred numerology, often happening in threes, a number that is symbolically significant in Christianity. Speaking on the implications of these experiences, Bledsoe suggests that they could betoken a spiritual awakening and a need to break away from the constraints of traditional religious dogma. Complicating matters, his accounts also contain apocalyptic themes, wi ...
The Spiritual and Religious Significance of Bledsoe's Experiences
Chris Bledsoe's experiences with the unexplainable have captured the attention of many. His encounters range from healing events to interactions with otherworldly entities. Bledsoe recounts several notable incidents.
Bledsoe describes coming across a glowing, childlike entity with red eyes that conveyed a sense of safety and protection. He named this being 'Johnny' and said it communicated with him audibly without moving its mouth and later telepathically through images.
Bledsoe has had experiences with what he believed was a guardian angel since he was 10 years old, feeling protected during a life-threatening event. In a regression in 2008, he was told by the entity that they had been with him since that time. This presence offered him comfort during a difficult period when he was suffering from Crohn's disease, reinforcing the idea that he would recover.
He initially interacted with the entity audibly and later it communicated telepathically, assuring him it was there to help, not to harm. These conversations were positive and focused on healing. Bledsoe's perception of being in danger was alleviated by the entity's assurance, "You don't understand. I'm not here to hurt you. We're here to help you."
Bledsoe initially believed "Johnny" to be a guardian angel based on the entity's protective communication. When facing a state of illness, this being's comforting presence seemed intertwined with Bledsoe's healing from cancer. The continued appearances of the entity correlated with his path towards better health.
During a dramatic encounter in 2007 by a river, Bledsoe was introduced to a mysterious being. His son experienced terror at the sight of it, describing the being as having red glowing eyes and standing only about three feet tall. This event, Bledsoe believed, had biblical parallels, likening the entity to angelic descriptions from the book of Daniel.
Bledsoe relates the figure he met at the river as part of an ongoing series of experiences with figures that followed him home after their initial meeting. When picked up by his worried wife and son after his absence was perceived all night, Bledsoe was subsequently pursued by shadowy figures emanating from orbs of light, which seemed to phase through physical barriers in his home.
Bledsoe's Interactions With a Mysterious Entity or Being
The document reveals a pronounced government interest in the mysterious experiences of Chris Bledsoe.
Chris Bledsoe recounts extensive interactions with multiple government agencies following his UFO experience. Agencies like the CIA, NASA, and the Department of Defense (DOD), as well as television platforms like the History Channel, have shown interest in studying Bledsoe, particularly focusing on aspects of his consciousness tied to his experiences. Bledsoe talks about an incident that caught the attention of the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), involving a tree that caught fire on his property. Individuals from NASA, referred to by Bledsoe as 'The Dragon', expressed a desire to see this tree. His experience with the NRO post this event led to further engagements with two people from NASA, as they delved into medical study and stem cell research.
Bledsoe details visits from senior service members of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the Department of Defense, the CIA, and diplomats from Washington, who have all been to his house and have shared experiences of paranormal events with Bledsoe. He recounts being in Washington for 15 days, filming orbs with key government and military personnel, including some from the National Security Agency (NSA). He has been investigated by individuals such as Jim Semivan and John Alexander, who have a significant interest in his paranormal experiences.
Beyond being studied, Chris Bledsoe has also showcased his experiences of paranormal phenomena to top-ranking officials, deepening their intrigue. After a miraculous event on Easter of 2012, Bledsoe says U.S. government officials knocked on his door, ostensibly to learn more, particularly about a female entity associated with his encounters. His ability to reportedly bring about a miraculous healing of a dog further attracted attention, leading to a call from someone with a CIA connection and a request for Bledsoe to be in Washington, D.C.

Government Interest in Bledsoe Phenomenon Study
Chris Bledsoe's experiences suggest a profound connection to biblical and religious themes, involving celestial prophecies and encounters that hold eschatological significance.
Bledsoe, a deeply spiritual person, was praying for guidance amid struggles when he felt the presence of the Holy Spirit during an encounter characterized by an air blast and a vision of a bull. This wind or breath he identified with the Holy Spirit was for him a direct connection to the divine.
Collaborating with Dr. Robert Grant on Egyptology, it was discovered through Lidar technology that the celestial bull with stars Bledsoe saw matches imagery in the Great Pyramid of Giza's king's chamber. Following this, Bledsoe witnessed a glowing woman, floating and enveloped in light, who spoke to him.
Bledsoe is hesitant to share all he was told by this entity, because he does not wish to be seen as a prophet but insists on sharing his experiences, believing they resonate with profound religious and eschatological implications.
During a visit to the Vatican archives, the discussion veered to messages involving angels, and a papal message hinted at the potential dangers of angelic energies. St. Francis of Assisi’s demise was touched upon as possibly linked to an extraordinary encounter of this kind, reinforcing the gravity of these spiritual interactions.
Bledsoe mentions a message he received in 2013 regarding a celestial event connected to Regulus and the Sphinx that could herald a grand shift in human knowledge. These changes, aligned with the positions of celestial bodies, are implicated by Bledsoe to coincide with Easter of 2026, drawing a parallel between astronomical events and significant religious observations.
The entity's messages to Bledsoe also suggest global upheaval and a "return," evoking language from the Book of Revelation that points to a battle against evil and the emergence of a peaceful era. The female entity informed him that sho ...
