Royal Navy sailor says UAP encounter triggered downloads from nonhuman intelligence | Reality Check

from Reality Check with Ross Coulthart · host Ross Coulthart

In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with John Seer, a UK-based former Royal Navy sailor and author who says decades of intuitive "downloads" from nonhuman intelligence began with a UAP encounter at sea when he was just 16 years old. Seer traces the story back to a childhood near-death experience at age 12, when a golf club to the head sent him to a place he describes as pure white and filled with love, an experience he believes opened the channel everything else would later flow through. He recounts the sighting witnessed from the bridge of his warship, the jets scrambled in response and the captain's announcement over the intercom that what the crew had just seen, they had not. He then describes the lowest moment of his life, a train ride during which a monk-like figure appeared, turned around, and held a conversation with him that seemed to move outside of time, the encounter that set the downloads in motion. From there, the conversation widens into the philosophy of death, the idea of bodies as containers for souls, urgent warnings about artificial superintelligence and the year 2027, and the hypothesis, drawing on Dr. Michael Masters' work, that the "Greys" are not visitors from another world but a future iteration of humanity returning to its own past. John answers the skeptics directly, explains why he believes full disclosure will never come, and shares the downloads he says the public needs to hear before time runs out.#JohnSeer #nonhumanintelligence #neardeathexperienceCREDITS:Host: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickSegment Producer: Christine JenkinsonAssociate Producer: Will TomasiResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: Maria Morales-SalazarOn "Reality Check," NewsNation Special Correspondent Ross Coulthart takes a fact-based approach to tackle everything from unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) to mysteries often missing from the headlines.
