We called this guy, he went by Mr. Billy, and he told us his story. I was nearly in tears by the end. I believed every word he said like I was talking to my grandpa. It was like having grandpa recount a story of something that happened to him in his life and how he was affected by it.

Exploring the intriguing realm of Ufology, we encounter a fascinating tapestry of individuals who have dedicated their lives to unraveling the mysteries of unidentified flying objects and extraterrestrial encounters. Among these luminaries, female leaders stand out for their pioneering contributions and unwavering commitment to the pursuit of truth. In this article, we delve into the remarkable stories of three such trailblazers whose insights and research have left an indelible mark on the field of ufology.

Deb

Deb, a counselor who operates anonymously within the UFO community due to professional concerns, embarked on her journey into researching Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) approximately two years ago. Since then, she has become a pivotal figure within the field. Joining the podcast Calling All Beings as a co-host marked a significant milestone in her exploration of the UFO phenomenon. Through this platform, Deb has conducted numerous insightful interviews with individuals who have encountered UAPs or are actively involved in addressing the UAP issue. Her involvement extends beyond podcasting; she has lent her expertise to initiatives such as the UAP Medical Coalition and Deb’s Data Dojo.

Not content with merely exploring the mysteries of the cosmos, Deb is also committed to fostering organization within the UFO community. To this end, she created UFO Connector, a platform aimed at facilitating the organization of UAP-related data. Looking ahead, Deb's ambitions include the completion of a forthcoming book, currently in progress, and the development of Anomalous Debates alongside Courtney Marchesani. Deb's multifaceted contributions underscore her status as a prominent figure within the realm of ufology, as she continues to push the boundaries of knowledge and understanding in pursuit of the truth.

Fringe

Fringe, a retired 54-year-old with a unique past, spent nearly two decades as a police officer and investigator in a bustling metropolitan department alongside her husband. Despite a career filled with countless investigations and courtroom appearances, her life took a mysterious turn as she grappled with otherworldly encounters. From lucid dreams and out-of-body experiences to shadow beings and encounters with Hat Man, her journey intertwined with the enigmatic world of the paranormal.

Growing up amid a backdrop of familial complexities and abusive environments, Fringe's experiences with "aliens" began to unfold at a tender age, continuing into adulthood with a series of unsettling encounters and experiments. Despite her initial belief in benevolent extraterrestrial beings, Fringe's investigations and personal experiences led her to a chilling realization: the entities she encountered were part of a darker agenda, involving spiritual warfare and manipulation. Through introspection and consultation with fellow abductees, Fringe pieced together a narrative of deception and control, shedding light on a phenomenon shrouded in secrecy. Though her journey has been fraught with challenges, Fringe remains resolute in her quest for understanding, sharing her story to illuminate the shadows of the unknown.

CJ Dearinger

CJ Dearinger is the co-host of the All Things Unexplained podcast. She was first brought on to be a bit of a skeptic of the paranormal world, but everything changed for her when she talked to former law enforcement officer Mr. Billy for the show. Mr. Billy witnessed one of the most documented UFO encounters in history, as over a dozen law enforcement officials observed and tracked a UFO over rural Flora, Mississippi. For CJ, he reminded her of her grandpa. When asked about her transition from skeptical CJ to ‘The Unexplained CJ’ on the Alien Girl 111 podcast, CJ had this to say:

We called this guy, he went by Mr. Billy, and he told us his story. I was nearly in tears by the end. I believed every word he said like I was talking to my grandpa. It was like having grandpa recount a story of something that happened to him in his life and how he was affected by it. At first, nobody believed him, they all made him out to be crazy. He was seeing this craft in the sky, but then one night several other officers came to his door and asked him to get his camera because they saw the craft in the sky. The next day, Mr. Billy received a call from Dr. J. Allen Hynek about his experience.

Since Mr. Billy’s story, CJ has talked to guests such as Erik Bard, Thomas Winterton, and Brandon Fugal from Skinwalker Ranch; Andrew Bustamante and Paul Beban from Beyond Skinwalker Ranch; best-selling author Patricia Cornwell; Nick Pope from Ancient Aliens; and physicist Avi Loeb, among many others. You can listen to a new episode of All Things Unexplained featuring UFO pioneer CJ Dearinger every Monday wherever you podcast. In addition, CJ is researching information for an upcoming book on the UFO phenomenon. The groundbreaking nonfiction volume could connect the dots between many aspects and factions in the realm of UFOs.

In conclusion, the stories of Fringe, Deb, and CJ offer a multifaceted glimpse into the diverse landscape of Ufology and the enigmatic experiences that define it. From Fringe's harrowing encounters with shadow beings to Deb's courageous efforts to uncover UAP truths while maintaining anonymity, and CJ's pioneering qualitative research into the UFO phenomenon, these women exemplify resilience, curiosity, and a relentless pursuit of truth in the face of the unknown. As leaders in their respective fields, they inspire others to delve deeper into the mysteries of the cosmos, reminding us that the quest for understanding knows no bounds. Through their stories, we are encouraged to challenge conventional wisdom, explore new frontiers, and embrace the complexities of the universe with open minds and steadfast determination.
