About this episode
Dr. Jonathan Reed recounts his controversial alien encounter in Washington's Cascade Mountains during October 1996. While hiking with his golden retriever Susie, Reed witnessed a small alien being brutally attack and kill his dog using some form of vibrational energy that caused the animal to implode. In rage and shock, Reed struck the creature with a branch, opening what appeared to be a fatal head wound. He also discovered a hovering obelisk-shaped craft approximately nine feet long. After photographing both the alien and craft, Reed transported the seemingly dead entity home and placed it in a freezer. Robert Wraith, who brought Reed's story public, joins the discussion. The case generated immense controversy within ufology due to the dramatic photographic and video evidence Reed presented. Skeptics questioned authenticity while others found the documentation compelling. Reed describes the profound psychological impact of the encounter and the difficult decisions he faced regarding the alien body. This remains one of the most debated contact cases, with evidence that continues generating intense analysis and disagreement.
