What is Chris Bledsoe's life-changing experience at Cape Fear River?
Today, I'm talking with Chris Bledsoe, a North Carolina businessman who, in 2007, was facing the end of everything. His company had collapsed, he was dying from Crohn's disease, and he went down to the Cape Fear River with his teenage son and three of his workers to fish. What happened next changed his life. And honestly, it's one of the most unusual cases in modern UFO history. Chris and all five witnesses experienced multiple orbs, creatures with glowing red eyes, and a massive tic-tac-shaped craft, and four hours of missing time. Chris came home healed from his Crohn's disease,
Four hours of missing time and he came back healed. Meanwhile, I lose four hours on TikTok and come back with carpal fin.
And here's where it gets interesting. Since 2007, senior officials from the CIA and NASA and even the Vatican have been quietly investigating him. Former CIA officer Jim Sembevin wrote the foreword to his book. A NASA engineer spent years trying to debunk him and couldn't.
Oh, NASA tried to debunk him, huh? That's their tale, human. When NASA tries to debunk you, you're over the target.
I agree. We're going to talk about the encounter, the healing, the beings, and the entity Chris calls the Lady, a divine feminine presence that's been appearing to him since 2012.
Yeah, at least she's bringing him healing. Whenever a feminine shows up at my door, she's usually bringing legal documents.
Okay, let's get back to work. This one goes places you don't expect. I really enjoy the conversation.
Let's go down to the basement. So if you know my show, and I'm just going to recap this for the audience, at the end of the Y-Files, I do a segment, Debunking and Analysis. I don't do that here. This is about telling the story and just kind of exploring your experiences. So if you feel any pushback, it's not, this isn't a gotcha show. We're going to talk about your story. I guess it all starts... At the river.
How did Chris Bledsoe's encounter affect his health?
Yeah. What brought you to the river? Well, it actually started before the river. Okay. And let's back up to about 2001 when the World Trade Center disaster happened. At that time, I had been in business nearly 20 years and building upwards of 100, 120, or 30 houses every year. I was one of the biggest builders in our county and one in the state. private company. And when when that disaster happened, being that my business is based in a military town, Fort Bragg, the housing sales just stopped suddenly, nobody's buying. And so here I am with $18 million invested in property, and the interest rates had gone up to like 8%. And on borrowed money, it was it was costing me $100,000 a month. We fast forward and I was dealing with Crohn's and that made it worse.
It got worse and worse and worse.
What investigations followed Chris Bledsoe's claims?
And by the time 2004 come along, I was in the hospital having, and I write about this in my book, what happened there. Had a near death experience from a doctor poisoning me. I'd lost everything. It took me five years to go through all the savings I had and liquidating all I could, but I paid the banks off and sold the property, but I was left with nothing. So the near death happened in 2004, and early 2005, I was still recovering. By summer of 2006, I was just getting to where I could go back to work. I was still sick with Crohn's, right? And I just had this poisoning in the hospital by a doctor. And I'd love to get into that at some point, maybe later today, because you've had two NDEs. Yeah, one from a gunshot when I was 10, and one from over-medication, not checking my vital, my liver and my blood work right.
The doctor just didn't, he failed to do it, and it caused me to go into toxic metal poisoning, they call it. And so here I am now, all this happened. Sick, I'm recovering, I'm at the end of my rope. I had a million dollar home, four kids living on the golf course for all these years, and now I'm in a mobile home, getting free lunch money from school. How debilitating that was, and demeaning, but that led me to the river. What led you to the river? What was that decision? Well, it wasn't my decision, but it was, I started back to work.
