Aleta Debee
September 12, 2026 - 11 a.m. at The Loft
opus experiencer support team
While working with Experiencers for over 7 years, Aleta has faced some of their fundamental questions, like why we are here, how we are related to visitors from other places, times, and dimensions. The “paranormal” and the ET visitors are linked, but how? Plus, the big question of “why me?” These questions are central to our survival and growth. Through contact with the unknown entities and energies, our Experiencers will help us to better understand who we really are. They are taking this journey of discovery for us all.
Janice Perkins
September 12, 2026 - 12 p.m. at The Loft
Experiencer • Clairvoyant • Lifelong Contactee
Janice Perkins, born an identical twin in 1944 in Sacramento, discovered early telepathic abilities through her twinship. A 1968 Near Death and Out of Body Experience shifted her perception into what she describes as a multidimensional awareness.
Her first major UFO encounter occurred in 1980 in Rocklin, California, when a large glowing white orb approached her vehicle, projected a beam of light into her body, and intensified her psychic abilities. Further development came in 1982 through training in psychometry with a clairvoyant medium.
In 1985, during a deep meditative state, Janice received a message from extraterrestrials moments before three beings appeared on her turned off television screen, marking one of her most profound contact events.
Energetic, intuitive, and highly active, Janice continues to channel and perceive events daily. Her presentation offers a rare firsthand account of lifelong psychic phenomena and extraterrestrial contact.
