OPUS TESTIMONIALS NORBERTO PELLICCI OPUS Support Group Member since 2004 OPUS gives us a safe place to describe our experiences without any fear of ridicule, but more importantly, it gives me (and us) a place to receive encouragement and support by others who truly understand what I’ve been through. KATHY OPUS Support Group Member since 2010 It’s been a complete pleasure to interact with the members. I definitely enjoy the meetings whether in person or remotely…I actually wish that everyone could have a paranormal experience sometime in their life. Such experiences knock down the walls we put up around our thinking regarding what’s possible. UAP/UFO WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTIONS INCREASE "We can't be afraid of asking questions and we can't be afraid of the truth." Representative Robert Garcia (D-CA) Subcommittee on National Security, The Border, and Foreign Affairs Hearing on UAP July 26, 2023 The United States government continues to expand protections for, and investigations in, reports of UAP/UFO craft, and reverse engineering programs. As the stigma of reporting these topics continues to be removed, OPUS expects that additional individuals will feel greater agency to come forward and acknowledge their own experiences. We wholeheartedly support this effort, and are working to expand our network of providers to assist these individuals and their families. The Unknown Other and the Existential Proposition of Alien Contact by Les Velez, Co-Founder of OPUS In The Unknown Other, author, chairman and co-founder of OPUS, Les Velez, weaves together the history of OPUS, perspectives on newly released UFO/UAP information presented by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and first-hand accounts from Experiencers of encounters with non-human intelligences. These thought-provoking parallels suggest that, with greater acceptance of the phenomena and the growing number individuals experiencing them, perhaps more will finally be understood. Forward by Linda Moulton Howe, creator of Earthfiles. All proceeds go directly to OPUS. “The Unknown Other and the Existential Proposition of Alien Contact is a must-read for ufologists, experiencers, and those close to them, and, perhaps most importantly, for those healthy skeptics who are searching for hard evidence as they consider these in many ways dark and disturbing phenomena.” - Joey Madia “Most of the abduction stories I had never heard of before and were unusually unique. Gives you much more food for thought!!!” - Frank Alexander BUY NOW SUPPORT THE WORK OF OPUS OPUS is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization which relies on the support of our volunteers and the generosity of our community to conduct our work.

Through contact with the unknown entities and energies, our Experiencers will help us to better understand who we really are. They are taking this journey of discovery for us all.

We're glad you're here. Because we've been there too. OPUS provides connections to mental health practitioners, support groups, and partner organizations that are dedicated to helping Experiencers.

Through our network, OPUS connects individuals with fellow experiencers, as well as professionals in an array of mental and medical health fields who are willing and able to work with and/or believe in the nature of these events.

Additionally, through the therapeutic process, Experiencers gain new insight into the events themselves and are able to move forward with new found confidence and abilities to deal with adversity. Research has shown that people who have chosen to work with a qualified counselor or therapist to explore their experiences are almost always satisfied with the decision . The OPUS Provider Network includes more than one hundred psychiatrists, psychotherapists, licensed counselors, social workers and other mental health professionals who are all experienced with, and desire to support, Experiencers of anomalous and paranormal activity . These practitioners understand the unique needs of Experiencers and the process of integrating and learning from these events in order to ultimately facilitate the healing that is possible for every Experiencer. Many providers offer free initial consultations.

All of our hypnotherapists are open to, and have experience working with, patients who have encountered UFO/UAP or other anomalous phenomena.

The community nature of our Support Group has often led to in-person meetings and lifelong friendships. TIM K. OPUS Support Group Member since 2016 “Because of my being invited to this group and welcomed with wide, warm, open arms, I feel less lost…This group has been open to hearing my crazy ideas, my dreams, my thoughts, and my theories. They have helped me in making sense of it all. They gave substance to what I have wondered about all along….I come away less confused and not obsessing so much…I think most of all is the feeling of belonging. Knowing this group is here if need be, is a comfort. For, as many pointed out, there are few, if any, places to speak openly about this…The knowledge of this collective group is astonishing.” STACY OPUS Support Group Member since 2018 As an experiencer, I walk through life with a secret. Over the years the weight of this secret has become a heavy burden, one that needed to be shared. The timing for joining OPUS could not have been more perfect in my life. Within this group, I have found a place for connection - one of understanding and acceptance. I was free to be me, an experiencer. Here there is a common language that we speak and understand, it is a bond that connects us - a bond that one feels within a family. MR A. OPUS Support Group Member since 2018 I think this is a very special place, truly unique. OPUS has literally changed my life because over several years now, I’ve been able to come to terms with it all, as I continue to try to figure out what’s really going on…The privacy we have here to speak freely without ridicule make it possible to really find a solid footing, over time. ADAM OPUS Support Group Member since 2019 There are members from all over the world - South Africa, Australia, Canada, India. Sharing our experiences and talking things through without ridicule, is a unique and invaluable resource…We share photos and drawings and uncritically explore possibilities and commonalities. I can’t thank Les and the OPUS team enough for making this possible. Just being able to clearly talk about this high strangeness with others who are going through the same keeps me grounded.

President's Welcome Letter MOT DE BIENVENUE DU PRESIDENT C'est pour moi un privilège et un honneur de représenter une organisation hautement appréciée; comme OPUS. Mes prédécesseurs laissent de grands souliers à remplir et ont fait un travail exemplaire. Je m'engage à poursuivre leur travail et le travail d'OPUS avec la plus grande intégrité. Les membres du conseil d'administration d'OPUS sont une combinaison de thérapeutes et d'autres professionnels et servent avec les principes les plus élevés et l'esprit le plus ouvert. ​ Il est important maintenant plus que jamais que des organisations comme OPUS offrent un soutien émotionnel et fournissent des informations et une communauté aux personnes confrontées à des activités paranormales et anormales. ​ Je viens à OPUS avec enthousiasme en cette période monumentale de notre histoire. Les gens connaissent un changement de conscience. Au fur et à mesure que le voile s'amincit et que de plus en plus de rapports d'activité se produisent, un plus grand désir de connaître la vérité transpire. Je crois sincèrement qu'il est nécessaire d'avoir un soutien et des ressources disponibles pour aider à acquérir une compréhension, une perspicacité et une responsabilisation plus profondes face à un tel événement. ​ Le réseautage et les ressources qui ont été construits avec OPUS ne feront que croître au fur et à mesure que l'organisation évolue. ​ ​ J'ai hâte de faire partie de tout cela.

Extraordinary experiences require exceptional support Our global network of Providers share a common passion: supporting Experiencers through the unique turns of their extraordinary paths. WHAT IS OPUS? The Organization for Paranormal Understanding and Support (OPUS) was founded in the United States in 1994 in order to educate and support people having unusual or anomalous personal experiences. Such experiences may include extraordinary states of consciousness, spiritual or parapsychological phenomenon, close encounters with non-human entities, and / or UFO/UAP activity. ​ Through our network, OPUS connects individuals with professionals in an array of mental and medical health fields who are willing and able to work with and/or believe in the nature of these events. Today, after more than twenty-five years of being a centralized connector and resource , OPUS continues to offer support for experiencers, their friends and family, and professional providers, worldwide. OPUS PROVIDER NETWORK A COMMUNITY OF PROFESSIONALS WHO SUPPORT EXPERIENCERS You would be joining an excellent organization that helps one educate, explore, and work through issues pertaining to paranormal events with people that are trustworthy, kind, and well trained. It is also a safe place to meet other like minded people with whom you can share your experiences, questions, and concerns. June Steiner, PhD, CHT OPUS Provider since 1996 In 1991, the Roper survey on “unusual personal experiences,” conducted by John Mack, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard University, suggested that “hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of American men, women and children may have experienced UFO abductions, or abduction-related phenomena.” ​ Today, more than thirty years later, the reports of paranormal, anomalous and extraterrestrial experiences continue to proliferate around the world, especially as government bodies and institutions work to remove the stigma that has long been associated with acknowledging the reality of these events. In this environment, we believe that the need to support Experiencers can only grow. As such, the team at OPUS works to find and screen qualified professionals and connect them to this growing group. ​ Additionally, OPUS works to support our professionals - by facilitating connections and developing educational opportunities - so that Providers can draw upon the resources they need in order to offer quality care in a rapidly evolving environment. PROVIDER TESTIMONIALS "I am happy to be a part of the OPUS Provider Network for many years now for their part in providing outreach to those who are in need of support. Over the years, OPUS has referred clients to me who are seeking answers to their partial memories since childhood of possible UFO abduction. I encourage all providers to join the OPUS Network..." -Yvonne R. Smith, C.Ht, Yvonne Smith Hypnotherapist "I am an experiencer and never felt safe relating my story to other people. Given I had my experience at a young age, I lived most my life without the sort of release and comfort that comes from sharing difficult stories. That all changed when in my 40s, I shared my experience with a fellow provider. It was such a relief to finally say that something happened and though I don't understand it, I want to make peace with it. That's why I want to help others.

En 1977, j'étais un sergent d'état-major de 22 ans dans l'US Air Force. Mon ami Toby et moi avons fait un voyage de camping de deux nuits dans un parc d'État de l'Arkansas connu sous le nom de Devils Den. ...."

Ses recherches et ses expériences personnelles ont été présentées dans 25 livres d'auteurs éminents dans ces domaines. Melinda est membre du conseil consultatif d'OPUS en tant qu'experte-conseil en observations d'OVNI, à la fois dans les expériences paranormales et extraterrestres, et dans l'implication secrète des agences humaines dans les cas d'enlèvement (MILABS).

Request Support Services Assistance d'expérience La nature parfois dérangeante, difficile à croire ou spirituelle des expériences anormales peut amener une personne à rechercher une aide professionnelle, mais parce que ces expériences sortent souvent du domaine de ce qui est considéré comme « normal », il y a souvent un manque de professionnels désireux ou capables de travailler avec ces problèmes. OPUS a reconnu le besoin d'un centre d'échange où un expérimentateur peut recevoir de l'aide pour localiser et choisir un professionnel qui connaît bien une expérience particulière en question. Le cas échéant, OPUS oriente les Expérimentateurs vers des médecins, des praticiens agréés en santé mentale, des consultants, des enquêteurs et des assistants en santé alternative. OPUS fait également référence à des groupes de soutien de toutes sortes où les expérimentateurs peuvent partager leurs sentiments et leurs préoccupations sans crainte de ridicule ou d'embarras, tout en apprenant à comprendre, à relier et à intégrer ce qui leur est arrivé dans la vie quotidienne. Récemment, en plus de notre groupe de soutien en face à face, OPUS a créé un groupe de soutien international "en ligne" accessible uniquement aux membres et disponible 24h/24 et 7j/7. Pour les questions OVNI, OPUS travaille en réseau avec de nombreux groupes et organisations partageant les mêmes idées telles que Yvonne Smith et CERO (Close Encounter Research Organization), le Dr Leo Sprinkle et ACCET (Academy of Clinical Close Encounters Therapists, Inc), Barbara Lamb, MS, et auparavant avec le regretté Dr John Mack (JEMI) et Budd Hopkins (Intruder Foundation). Pour les problèmes psychiques, nous nous référons à Loyd Auerbach du Paranormal Network et pour Kundalini, au Kundalini Support Network et Kundalini Awakening Now. Pour les urgences spirituelles, nous nous référons à June Steiner PhD et au Spiritual Emergence Network.

RESEARCH & EDUCATION OPUS conducts independent research, and develops educational videos and articles, in order to support Experiencers, their families, and the work of paranormal and anomalous professionals. OPUS RESEARCH OMEGA-3 STUDY Revelation or Revolution -- A Comparative Study of Abductees/Experiencers & Community Comparison Control Participants Robert B. LeLieuvre, Lester Velez, & Michael Freeman DOWNLOAD PDF This study titled "Omega 3: Revelation or Revolution" by Robert B. LeLieuvre, Lester Velez, and Michael Freeman explores the experiences of abductees/experiencers compared to community comparison control participants. The authors reference previous research that compared Near-Death experiences with UFO encounters and found similarities in antecedent life experiences and consequences of these encounters, as well as in the control groups for each type of experience. They suggest that encounter-prone personalities may result from heightened sensitivity to altered states, early paranormal experiences, childhood conflict and trauma, leading to dissociation as a coping mechanism. The study aims to investigate neurological factors along with the variables studied in previous research to better understand abductees/experiencers using convenience samples." OMEGA-4 STUDY Phase 1: Survey of Therapists Whose Clients Report Contact with Nonhuman Intelligent Beings (NHIBs) Robert Scalpone, Lester Velez DOWNLOAD PDF Over the past few decades, numerous studies have aimed to understand the psychology of individuals who claim contact with nonhuman intelligent beings (NHIBs), involving abduction and medical examinations by these beings. Despite the potential trauma associated with such encounters, researchers have generally found no evidence of pervasive mental health issues or social marginality in those reporting contact. Various psychogenic explanations, like false memory syndrome, sleep paralysis, and childhood trauma, have been tested and rejected as causes of these experiences. Instead, individuals who report contact with NHIBs may undergo an "ontological shock," akin to near-death experiences, leading to lasting changes in attitudes, values, and behavior. Their reality perspective may be permanently altered, and they may develop interests in extraterrestrial life, spirituality, and higher consciousness. The Omega-4 Study was undertaken to explore how experiencers successfully cope with and integrate these extraordinary and traumatic experiences into their lives. Phase 1 of the study involved surveying therapists and support group facilitators to gain insight into the experiencer population's perceptions and needs and to determine their willingness to refer clients for further research on their contact experiences and related outcomes.

OPUS ARTICLES EXPERIENCER 101 SERIES Why Me? by Gwen Farrell It’s likely that thousands of humans have had contact with ETs and don’t remember it or choose not to acknowledge it.

The Unknown Other and the Existential Proposition of Alien Contact by Les Velez, Co-Founder of OPUS In The Unknown Other, author, chairman and co-founder of OPUS, Les Velez, weaves together the history of OPUS, perspectives on newly released UFO/UAP information presented by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and first-hand accounts from Experiencers of encounters with non-human intelligences. These thought-provoking parallels suggest that, with greater acceptance of the phenomena and the growing number individuals experiencing them, perhaps more will finally be understood.
