Deeptanshu Prasad describes being paralyzed at his desk at 9:40 am and encountering three four-foot-tall beings in white spacesuits with a golden insignia. They pulled him into a craft, projected hieroglyphic symbols mixed with the word DNA on his wall, and he heard a female voice speaking an unfamiliar language. The entire encounter lasted 20 to 30 minutes.
So you join the conversation, you expand the boundaries of it, you tell people, I'm interested in this, here's what I think, and then it's like the universe reaches out and grabs you by the throat. Tell me about the experience.
Basically, yeah. So I'm working in my room. So I run my own little company, right? And so I try to get all the admin work, all the work I don't like doing, out of the way first. So this is 9:40 in the morning, and I'm in my room just like sitting against my headboard and sending emails on my laptop. And I put down my laptop for just a second to pick up my phone. And as soon as I do that, I get this like— it's like I knew exactly what would happen next. That's the weirdest part. One of the weirdest parts about this is that I felt like I knew that I'm about to go through an experience and I'm even going to call it an abduction because that's the best word that my brain can come up with. Like these were my— like this all came to me within half a second or maybe milliseconds. And then I realized that I couldn't even move and I Started freaking out because, like when you lose full control of your body, your motor cortex, that's never happened to me before. Like while being consciously awake and suddenly you just can't do anything. It was terrifying. I thought that I ran through a bunch of motions. So like my mind was like running very quickly. I'm like, "Is this a seizure?" Nope, doesn't look like it. My like I can still like move my eyes and stuff. I'm not convoluting or anything or convulsing. Am I dying? And so I scanned the room just with my eyes for like. Like, I did about 2 scans, and then by the time I get to my 3rd scan, I see this shimmering object. It's like, it's a white outline with like these big black eyes. And initially, like, I thought like, this can't be real. Like, I can't, I must be making this up, right? Like, I must be hallucinating this. Suddenly it became completely solid, completely materialized. And I see this being, it's about 3 to 4 feet tall. Its head is massive. Like, probably the head alone was about a foot. Very like robotic looking. The whole thing that it was wearing was like one uniform snow-white spacesuit. Like it was very pure white with like this golden insignia in the middle that was constantly changing colors. It's right, not changing colors, changing symbols. And so that whole that was weird in itself. And suddenly two other beings materialized the same exact way right next to it. And initially when I saw that, I wasn't even that scared. I was more scared that I couldn't move right. Like that was. Freakier. And I figured, alright, if I look away, these things are gonna be gone. Like, I'm— this is— I'm dreaming this or something. And I looked around and I like looked back, and now they're just walking around my room like they own the room. And I was terrified. I was like terrified and fascinated because I was like, holy crap, these things are real. Like, these stories I've read, they're— people might not have been lying. That was one of the most profound realizations I had. I was like, now I'm one of them too. This is Now I see what they see. Like, now I see why this drives people, right? And so even like throughout the whole time, though, I was still so in disbelief, but it was so real and so in my face that it was still scary, very scary initially. So like I would try to move myself and I couldn't move anything other than my neck. And that was the weird part. So I moved my neck a little bit, just by about an inch, and I feel extremely nauseous when I did that. So like I was fighting like the paralysis, you can say. And as I did this, like their craft sort of materializes through my room. So like my, through my roof. So my roof disappears and I can see their craft sort of submerge through the roof. And I was like, that's not possible. That it definitely made it seem like either my room was a fake image or that was like a fake image being overlaid across my eyes. Then I put my neck down a little bit more, and suddenly my entire room is gone. And all I could see is that I'm inside the entire craft now. And I felt super sick to my stomach, like very uneasy, not out of fear or anything. It just it was some weird reaction. Not sure why I was feeling nauseous, and so I couldn't handle that feeling. So I went back, put my head back down, and back like my room is back up again. And I only see my room and these three beings. And now they're projecting these hieroglyphics. It was. Sentences and paragraphs. And it would be like, imagine if I had like subtitles floating in front of me. They were like dark red symbols. It was like, I describe it as a mix of Egyptian and Japanese. And they were just flipping from the bottom up really, really fast. Just flip, flip, flip, flip, flip, flip, flip, paragraph, sentence. And it's hovering right in front of my wall, like above one of their heads. One thing that I think is worth noting is that there was only one English symbol that was shown about 3 to 4 times. Everything else was these hieroglyphs.
And what was it?
DNA in capital letters. It was frustrating because I knew that— I realized that even if this is my mind or whatever, it knows English, like whatever these things are. But they're refusing to use English words. Like, I don't know what this is. It was extremely frustrating. But also, I was super fascinated. I was studying their movements. I was studying exactly what was going on and trying to do my best to remember these symbols. I can only remember expressions because imagine if I just showed you Chinese for the first time, right? Could you recreate any of the characters? I can't. But the fact that DNA in capital letters was shown, that really stuck with me. It means that they find it relevant.
Was there any communication other than the symbols? Was there any mental communication or verbal?
So I heard like verbal voices when I was completely— when I'd moved my head completely and I could only see the ship. And it sounded like they were telling me to like relax or calm down. And it was like a female— it was multiple voices, but it was a female one that told me that like it's okay. So that was it. There was also music that I heard in the middle of the experience, completely out of context, had no meaning to me at all. And it was in like— it was about 3 or 4 seconds of some weird like rock genre, you can say, and the lyrics was the way that I— the best way I can describe it is it was like English that was developed in a parallel universe. So it sounded like English, but not exactly, like as if it followed a different evolution of its own. There was also, yeah, other than that, there was no other way of communication that I can say happened.
How long do you think the experience lasted, and how did it end?
In total, about 20 to 30 minutes, yeah, of just like them showing these 3D objects. Like they would sometimes just— there was one part of where my— where I'm standing, I thought the experience ended and I'm just standing in front of my fridge just looking at it and I can feel gravity and I can physically feel like I'm, you know, there. And then suddenly it just stops and I'm back in my own body, like back lying in the bed. And seeing them as they're flipping these holograms, I was like, holy crap! I thought this was over. How do they do that? So so how it ended was the last couple minutes. This being like it jumps up on top of my bed, and it like I feel extreme euphoria come across like an extreme bliss. Like it I the word that came to my mind was oneness. Even though that had no meaning to me back then, that was the best way that I can describe it. So they had this like, yeah, I'm going through this like just a bunch of thoughts, and I don't know, I was in a state of just being where it felt like I describe it as the universe being sentient, like it was acknowledging my existence, and it felt like I was remembering this that like I always knew this somehow, and I always knew that I would come to this day, that this experience would happen, and I would realize this. It was just such a strange, yeah, alien feeling.
