'''Jonathan Reed''', also supposedly known by other names, is an American former child psychologist, public speaker, [[experiencer]], and [[contactee]] who is known for his alleged [[Jonathan Reed forest incident|encounter with a nonhuman intelligent being (NHIB)]] and subsequent activities. He allegedly photographed and videotaped a [[Freddy (Jonathan Reed)|live NHIB]] and its [[Levitation|levitating]] [[Obelisk|obelisk]] at close range. He allegedly stored it in his freezer at home and made further videos and recordings of the alien. {{Experiencer|type=face-to-face in-person interaction, [[Telepathic communication]], playing/testing}} As a result of the alleged incident, he produced a [[Jonathan Reed forest encounter video|video shot in the forest]] immediately after the incident, a [[Jonathan Reed obelisk video|video of the obelisk]], an [[Audio recording of Freddy (Jonathan Reed)|audio recording of the alien]], an [[Examination video of Freddy|examination video]], a [[Photograph of Freddy’s face]], and other [[Multimedia evidence of NHIBs|evidence]]. | |||
== | == Early life and background == | ||
Little is verified about Jonathan Reed's early life. He has described himself as a clinical psychologist working in [[Washington (state)|Washington state]], allegedly associated with the [[University of Washington]]. However, attempts to confirm his educational and professional credentials have been unsuccessful, leading to skepticism about his background. Critics have pointed out the absence of verifiable records confirming his employment or academic history. | |||

== | === The forest incident === | ||
On October 15, 1996, Reed claimed he went for a walk in the woods near [[Snoqualmie Pass]], Washington, accompanied by his dog, [[Lucy (Jonathan Reed's dog)|Lucy]]. According to Reed, his dog ran ahead and encountered a nonhuman intelligent being (NHIB), described as a small, humanoid figure with elongated limbs and dark eyes, resembling the archetypal "[[Grey alien|grey]]" alien. | |||
Reed claimed he | |||
Reed alleged that his dog attacked the being, but the alien retaliated, causing the dog to disintegrate or be destroyed in a gruesome manner. In a state of panic and anger, Reed claimed he struck the alien with a large branch, incapacitating it. He experienced nausea, panic, and intense dissociation during and after the incident. | |||

== | === Immediate aftermath === | ||
Reed reported that he wrapped the incapacitated alien in a thermal blanket and transported it to his home. He claimed to have taken photographs and videos documenting the being, which he referred to as "[[Freddy (Jonathan Reed)|Freddy]]". Reed stated that he stored the alien in his freezer to preserve it, noting that the being healed from its injuries over the following days. | |||
He also claimed to have retrieved a mysterious artifact from the scene—a bracelet-like device he called the "[[Link bracelet]]" or "Link artifact". Reed alleged that this device possessed extraordinary properties, including [[Teleportation|teleportation]] and inducing altered states of consciousness. | |||
== Alleged harassment and suppression == | |||
In the days following the incident, Reed claimed he became the target of harassment by unidentified agents, often referred to as "[[Men in black]]" (MIBs). He reported that these agents visited his home, urging him to hand over any evidence he had collected. Reed alleged that his house was ransacked, his personal records were erased, and that he was subjected to threats and intimidation. | |||
He further claimed that his attempts to contact organizations like the [[Mutual UFO Network]] (MUFON) were intercepted and misdirected. Reed stated that several of his associates were murdered or coerced into silence, including a professor who was allegedly going to publicly present DNA analysis of Freddy's tissue. He claimed that he was homeless for about a year as a direct result of these events. | |||
== Public appearances and reception == | |||
Media interviews | |||
Reed first came to public attention through an interview on the radio show ''[[Coast to Coast AM]]'' with [[Art Bell (broadcaster)|Art Bell]] in 1998. He has since appeared at UFO conventions and on various media platforms, often presenting his alleged evidence and recounting his experiences. | |||
Supporters | |||
Some UFO researchers and enthusiasts, notably Mexican journalist [[Jaime Maussan]], have supported Reed's claims. Maussan has featured Reed in presentations and has advocated for the authenticity of his evidence. Supporters argue that Reed's case provides valuable insight into extraterrestrial life and advanced technologies. | |||
Skepticism and criticism | |||
Reed's claims have been met with widespread skepticism. Critics point to inconsistencies in his story, lack of verifiable credentials, and the implausibility of his allegations. Investigations by skeptical organizations and television programs, such as ''[[Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files]]'', have attempted to debunk his evidence, often suggesting that the photographs and videos were fabricated using special effects or props. | |||
Skeptics also highlight the absence of physical evidence that can be independently examined and the lack of credible witnesses to corroborate Reed's account. | |||
== The link bracelet == | |||

Reed described the link bracelet as an advanced piece of alien technology. He claimed that when activated, it allowed him to teleport or move instantaneously over short distances, and even to other realms or dimensions. Reed stated that using the device caused a distinctive sensation throughout his body. He also alleged that others who attempted to use the bracelet, including two Russian scientists, died within a week of trying it. | |||
He claimed to have demonstrated the bracelet's capabilities during live television appearances, where he appeared to disappear and reappear after a few seconds. Reed stated that the bracelet is being kept somewhere safe and continues to study its properties. | |||
== Legacy and impact == | |||
Reed's story remains a controversial topic within the UFO community. For believers, it represents a possible encounter with extraterrestrial life and serves as an example of alleged government suppression of such information. For skeptics, it is viewed as an elaborate hoax that underscores the need for critical thinking and rigorous standards of evidence in [[Ufology]]. | |||
His case continues to be discussed in books, documentaries, and online forums, contributing to ongoing debates about the existence of extraterrestrial life and the validity of contactee experiences. | |||
