What if contact with extraterrestrials wasn’t a single moment — but a lifelong relationship?
In EP12: The Night Family, host Justin Gearheart speaks with Reddit experiencer ForbiddenSnackie, who has shared her extraordinary story with rare openness and detail. From early childhood drawings of purple aliens with suction-cup fingers to vivid onboard memories of telepathic star navigation games, Snackie’s story reveals a reality where encounters aren’t isolated events — they are part of an ongoing connection.
Raised in a Mormon household, Snacky grew up with both spiritual and paranormal frameworks that shaped her understanding of what was happening. Over time, she uncovered memories of being aboard craft, interacting with beings she calls her “night family,” and even learning directly from them through consciousness-based teaching tools. These encounters blurred the line between dream, memory, and lived experience, echoing the themes we’ve heard in other Close Encounter Club episodes — yet with a uniquely human depth.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
Childhood encounters, drawings, and early memories of aliens. How her family sometimes experienced these events together — and sometimes forgot them. Inside-the-ship experiences, from organic architecture to telepathic technology. Snackie’s reflections on consciousness, time, and the afterlife as explained by the beings. How she reconciles lifelong encounters with skepticism, memory gaps, and the challenges of sharing her story.
This is one of the most detailed and personal alien contact stories ever shared on Close Encounter Club. It raises not only questions about UFOs and abduction, but also about consciousness, memory, and humanity’s place in the cosmos.
