Episode 35: Chat with Mike Clelland, author of ‘The Messengers’ 🦉🛸👽

I chat with Mike Clelland, researcher of the mysterious connections between owls, synchronicities and UFOs, from ancient times to the present day.  His first book, The Messengers (2015), details his personal journey and provides a collection of first-hand accounts of contact encounters. 

Mike shares his own personal experiences with me, including a childhood memory of a UFO sighting and a lost-time event.  Later, a series of synchronistic incidents involving owls, propelled him on a course of research into the meaning of these powerful connections.  His story resonates deeply with extraordinary experiencers of all kinds.

During our chat I shared my own synchronistic owl experience with Mike.

Mike wants to hear your owl experiences ✨🦉

You can contact him at www.mikeclelland.com and read his excellent blog there too.

Mike’s first book, The Messengers: Owls, Synchronicity and UFO contact, is an exploration of the mysterious connection between owls and UFOs, in ancient myths and the present day contact experiences. It’s also a an odyssey of self-discovery as the author grapples with his own encounters. What plays out is a story of transformation with the owl at the heart of the journey.



His second book, Stories from The Messengers provides further exploration into the connection between owls and UFOs, both symbolic and literal. The book reads like a collection of short stories, each chapter telling a deeply personal story. The ancient folklore of the owl is still with us—and it’s still changing people’s lives. 

Hidden Experience, the third book is about the most difficult time of Mike’s life as the experiences were happening, which were captured on a blog.

  1. Dear Jo and dear Mike.
    I do feel that I have to share this with you. As I was listening to this episode, I went for a moment outside the terrace door and there it was, two owls flying around above the garden. After a while they did land in one of the trees close by, screeching into the night for a few minutes and taking off again.
    That was a fascinating and almost unreal moment.
    Listening to your chat, brought back some of my encounters with owls in the past, looking at them from a different perspective.
    Thank you so much for your openness about your experience and encounters. I love listening to them and it helps me so much to make sense with my own.
