DragonKing Dark listeners and all others interested in UFOs and the paranormal, take note: Whitley Strieber is well known as both a novelist (The Hunger and Wolfen) and for his nonfiction work as someone who has experienced the paranormal (Communion). He appears in the film Alien Abduction: Answers, a new documentary on UFOs that will receive its world premiere in March at MidWest WeirdFest in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Following is the official press announcement.
A major new documentary on the UFO subject will world premiere at the 6th annual MidWest WeirdFest. The film festival takes place at Micon Cinemas in downtown Eau Claire, Wisconsin from March 4-6, 2022. The documentary, Alien Abduction: Answers, is directed by John Yost. It features world famous writer and alien abductee Whitley Strieber, author of the best-selling Communion book series.
"By articulating the ordeal of abduction in his uniquely brilliant and personal style in Alien Abduction: Answers, Whitley Strieber has allowed all of us to share in experiences that challenge ordinary reality and the meaning of life itself.” says luminary UFO researcher Doctor Jacques Vallee. “He has given a voice to thousands of witnesses in ways that other analysts have failed to convey."
Sharing the screen with Strieber are a number of other alien abductees. Prominent among these is Eau Claire's Alanna Robelia, who relates the harrowing and enthralling details of her own otherworldly encounters. “I am grateful to director John Yost for creating a safe place for all of us to tell our stories and his willingness to be vulnerable by telling us about his own abduction experience,” says Robelia. “I never would have imagined that what I thought was a memory of a childhood dream would lead me to the incredible experiences and relationships I have today.”
John Yost and Alanna Robelia, along with other cast and crew members, will be in attendance for the world premiere of Alien Abduction: Answers, at the Micon Downtown Cinema on Saturday March 5, at 6:00pm. They will partake in a special Q&A session following the screening.
