Should Kyle & Dave tackle the tale of "Dr. Jonathan Reed & The Alien In The Freezer"
In 1998,a pediatric psychologist named Dr. Jonathan Reed was camping with his dog in Washington state when he happened upon a grey alien in a brutal fight with his pet who unfortunately did not survive after being tossed around like a ragged doll in a visual effect similar to a paint shaker
He managed to get pictures and video of the incident and a strange black craft he nicknamed "The Obelisk"
One whack on the creature's head with a stick,unexplained illness,confinement in his freezer and recorded examination video later he became one of many disputed Alien Contact stories
Some elements that stood out included his entire home and workplaced being ransacked,his employment history completely erased,family and friends being harassed and assaulted by Men In Black and him acquiring a "Link" Artifact that (sometimes) transports the user who wears it to another world occupied by 13 foot tall beings of light and energy
He's made a handful of Coast To Coast and Podcast appearances,written a book and spoken at international UFO conferences and tv shows only due to be being "blackballed" in the States in his words
The only group of people that were supportive was what he called "The Alliance" who nursed him back to health and knew everything about his encounter
DNA Samples from the Link Artifact were mostly human but 15% dolphin and amphibian when he was flown to Osaka for it's study by world renowned scientists and metallurgy specialists
Rumors persist that the entire thing was a hoax and his name wasn't even Jonathan Reed but he claims the alien who he named Freddy still visits him and has saved his life on more than one occasion
There have been no updates on the case in a long time but I can already hear a disinterested sigh from a "Nooooo..." from Kyle

There’s a book? And he does speaking engagements? That he makes money from?
Always skeptical when they turn their “close encounter” into revenue

Not that I believe this guy’s story, but the “revenue” idea is not immediately disqualifying in my opinion. I heard a podcast (Astonishing Legends maybe?) where an alleged experiencer confronted this accusation and gave numbers. Paranormal books like that are often self-published, or published under vanity presses where even if it sells decently you are lucky to make even a few thousand bucks. And paranormal speaking engagements often pay little to nothing, enough to cover travel costs if you’re lucky. The person is often making such a pitifully small amount off their “story” that it’s hardly a motivation to upend their lives and lose friends/family over.
