Extraordinary Contact

Book excerpt: Debra Jordan-Kauble is an "ordinary" woman with a habit of attracting the extraordinary. After reporting a terrifying anomalous experience to Budd Hopkins-pioneering researcher of alien abduction phenomena-Debra's life takes a dramatic turn as she becomes the central figure in Hopkins' best-selling book, Intruders, and in its popular TV adaptation. But while the TV series ended with a clear resolution, Debra's astonishing story continued in real life. In Extraordinary Contact, Debra shares with the reader her close-up and personal experiences with UFOs, poltergeists, the afterlife, Electronic Voice Phenomena, premonitions, synchronicities, and non-human entities. Such phenomena are woven throughout the vivid tapestry of Debra's life-flourishes of the anomalous, offset against an everyday backdrop of factory work, family and friends. Spanning four decades, Extraordinary Contact is a story of resilience and growth in the face of trauma, tragedy and loss, and an intimate, first-person account of what it means to be a lifelong experiencer of "impossible" phenomena.
