That UFO Podcast · Whitley Strieber: “I Thought They’d Taken My Son” | Disclosure, Visitors and Trauma · 14 Apr 2026 podcast

He didn't like to talk about it.

He was bullied at school a lot.

And, and when he was at Andover in our prep school, as a teenager, he was, he was big into song and dance and love to do musicals, he loved to sing, and he did a lot of wonderful stuff like that at camp, they wouldn't let him in at the prep school, because of his father, and his father's reputation.

And he could not participate in any of the musicals or anything like that.

And that's hard.

So I explore all of that.

I don't think that prejudice will be nearly as bad now as it was then.

But people need to know

the kind of pressure it's going to put them under if this suddenly comes into their lives.

It will put them under significant pressure.

And the book shows that, yeah, you are put under pressure by it, your family is, but we're still here.

My wife lived on and she tragically died in 2015, not in any way connected with this.

My son is a very successful businessman now.

He has nothing to do with this and wants nothing to do with it.

Doesn't remember.

The reason he doesn't remember is this, it's and it's explained in the new book, that the brain, the way the brain works, it's basically a very sophisticated filing system, far more sophisticated than AI.

You put all of the AI together, and this is still bigger than all of it.

So a lot bigger than all of it.

So the

what happens in the brain is, if something happens to a person that has no precedent, there's no way it's a relational database, and there's nothing to relate it to, it will kind of hang there for a while and gradually it won't, it won't fade away, but it will be pushed into kind of in the back of the mind, and you can't access it anymore.
