Dreaming of UFOs, Then Meeting a NASA Director

Craig McManus

My wife and I were staying at the Auburn University Hotel in Alabama, visiting our son, who was feeling down. That night, I had two vivid dreams about round UFOs, where they were teaching me things.

In the morning, I woke up to see a large round building outside. Curious, I went out to ask about it, and the car valets told me it was the Auburn University Library. As we chatted, they asked if I’d heard of Bob Lazar.

Just then, a man overheard us, took my photo (which never happens), and joined the conversation. I asked him what he did for work. He casually replied that he worked for NASA—then revealed he was the director of the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL.

I asked if he knew a friend of mine who worked there. To my surprise, he said he did. Grateful for the unexpected connection, I asked if I could give him a hug—something I’d never normally do with a stranger. He agreed but quickly added, “I’m not into UFOs.”

I then asked if he knew about the Monroe Institute, and he said yes. When I shared my experience with their Lifelines course and how I had verified what I perceived, he reacted with a quick “Oh, wow,” then left abruptly.

Later, I told my friend in Huntsville about the encounter. They sent me a photo of the NASA director and asked if it was the same person. It was.
