I’ve met many amazing people at Dr. Sprinkle’s Rocky Mountain Conference on UFO Investigation, and there are a few individuals that made quite an impact in my life (along with Dr. Sprinkle). In the late ’80s, I met Aileen Edwards (Garoutté). Because of Aileen’s own contact experiences which changed her life, she became interested in the many stories of others who had contact experiences, but felt the experiencers lacked the support to deal with the trauma and ridicule.

Determined to help, Aileen founded the UFO Contact Center, Intl. (of which Dr. Sprinkle was an honorary board member) in 1981, for the purpose of helping people to examine their bizarre experiences as a result of their encounters. The first UFOCCI center started in Federal Way, Washington, and had expanded since to around 65 affiliate centers across the U.S. and internationally.

The criteria to be an Associate Director was mainly that you were an experiencer, and the main goal of those centers was to hold monthly meetings
to provide the experiencers a safe environment to share their experiences. When Aileen asked me to be an Associate Director for Wyoming, I was overwhelmed with emotion, because I, too, wanted to help those experiencers in Wyoming that needed a safe-haven to share their experiences, and to help balance and assist others to lessen their fears of the unknown.

As a result of me being an Associate Director, I met two other Associate Directors which I have stayed in contact with for about 30 years—Ann Ulrich Miller, author of numerous books, and editor and publisher of this newsletter, The Star Beacon; and Shirlè Klein-Carsh, the author of Permutation, A True UFO Story (who, sadly, just recently passed).

I had an amazing experience with Aileen and Shirlè that I want to share. The three of us were invited by Pat McGuire to go with him to his ranch north of Laramie after a day full of conference activities had ended. It was a beautiful night sky full of stars, and Pat was pointing out the ships, and then Shirlè began toning—calling in the ships—and a ship came close—blinking their lights to us! What an experience to treasure!

The other person who has made such a
positive impact in my spiritual life is Richard Boylan, Ph.D. I met Dr. Boylan at the 16th Rocky Mountain Conference on UFO Investigation in 1995. Author of five books, Dr. Boylan is a behavioral scientist, psychology professor (emeritus), and star-cultures anthropologist working with next-generation (human) StarKids and adult Starseeds. He is also Star Nations Councillor (Ambassador) for Earth, working on advancing the relationship between cosmic societies and Earth.

I have kept in contact with Dr. Boylan since then, and attended his StarKids/Starseed Adults Workshop in Allentown, Pa., in 2009, listened to his talk at The Star Family Reunion Conference in Farmington, N.M., in 2010, and attended Dr. Boylan’s StarKids/Starseed Adults Advanced Workshop in Philadelphia, Pa., in 2011. (For more information about StarKids and Starseed Adults —to see if you might be one yourself—or to help children explore their StarKid abilities and/or Star Visitor encounters, go to www.drboylan.com.)

Dr. Boylan gave the keynote address at this conference, and began sharing some startling information with us about the government’s role in the UFO cover-up. As soon as he started talking, I "saw" a "black box" come floating in a side window, moving towards Dr. Boylan, and hovered over him all throughout his talk. (Now, I’ve seen these black boxes before with other speakers, and I was told it was a recording type device to record and/or amplify the information to whomever put the black box there in the first place.)

I began getting "negative vibes," and whoever put the "black box" there was making it very difficult for Dr. Boylan to speak. He began choking and many of his words became distorted and slurred and he could hardly talk. Someone sure didn’t want him to share his information with us! I began telling everyone around me to immediately send Dr. Boylan "White Light Protection," so he could finish his talk, and it worked—the "black box" disappeared, and he was able to finish his talk!

All of these wonderful people—exemplify —"SERVICE to OTHERS" to the highest degree —for all that they have done to help "spread the word" through their writings and their own "UFO/Star Visitor" conferences to bring awareness to the general public and help to the experiencers.

For all this—THANK YOU, DR. SPRINKLE!
