What happens when a hardcore skeptic becomes convinced that non-human intelligence isn't just real — but already here?In Episode 13 of the Crew One Podcast, Adam Barone sits down with Linda Haley, founder and executive director of The Reiki Center in Columbus, Ohio, author of the book Arrival of the Light Beings, and a longtime member of the UFO/UAP experiencer community.Linda's story begins in a seemingly ordinary suburban home that she says was anything but ordinary. As a teenager, she experienced unexplained activity, saw an apparition and once says she literally ran through the figure on her staircase. Years later, on New Year's Day 2000, she heard a voice repeat two words three times:“It's time.”What followed took her far beyond the paranormal.Linda describes a client apparently channeling a being she calls “Avratar from the fifth dimension,” who told her she had been “selected.” She says the being warned her about nuclear weapons, humanity's growing relationship with artificial intelligence and a coming planetary shift — and told her that beings from elsewhere were coming to help.She also recounts a disturbing physical encounter in her locked home that she says ended with three orange triangles appearing on her arm.Then things get even stranger.Linda says a man once walked into her healing center and announced, “I'm from the Galactic Federation. Can I help you?” She says people she believes were not human have visited the center, and describes encounters involving mantid beings and other forms of NHI.Adam and Linda go deep into consciousness, reincarnation, the nature of the mind, UFOs versus their occupants, astral travel, spirituality, fear, AI, the possibility of interdimensional contact — and the growing belief that 2026–2027 could mark a new stage of disclosure.Is humanity actually approaching open contact? Are UFOs only a small piece of something much bigger? And if contact is coming, what exactly are we supposed to do about it?According to the message Linda says she received, the answer may be surprisingly simple:Prepare your heart.
