    This week on ParaReality, Sandman sits down with experiencer and author Bret Oldham to explore a side of the contact phenomenon that is rarely discussed — the aftermath.

  Much of the public conversation around UFO encounters focuses on the moment of contact itself: the lights, the beings, the missing time. But what happens after the experiences change, slow down, or stop altogether?

  Drawing from the themes of his book Children of the Greys: Aftermath, Bret shares what it’s like to live with the long-term psychological and personal impact of encounters that don’t come with clear explanations or easy closure. This conversation moves beyond the event and into the years that follow — where questions linger, memories evolve, and the challenge becomes not proving what happened, but learning how to live with it.

  In this episode, we explore:

• The emotional and identity shifts that can follow contact experiences
• How memory, interpretation, and understanding change over time
• The ripple effects these experiences can have across family lines
• The difficulty of integrating extraordinary events into ordinary life
• And the possibility that the true mystery isn’t the encounter itself — but what remains afterward
   

  Whether you interpret these experiences as external, internal, symbolic, or something else entirely, this discussion centers on the human side of the unknown — the quiet years after the encounter, when belief and disbelief matter less than the impact left behind.

  This is not a conversation about convincing or debunking.

 It’s a conversation about living with the unexplained.
