Man Claims Ongoing Communication with Aliens - Shawn Neubauer | ep. 97
"And now I've gotten it to the state where I'm literally working building a company right now to create a wireless brain interface to go after this. And my first market is going to be digital sleep because they can help you go to sleep or they can help you wake up and they can change the heartbeat or the theta frequency inside the brain."
Neubauer claims his alleged communications with non-human entities led him to technical ideas he is now trying to commercialise, including a “wireless computer brain interface”. He says the initial target application would be sleep modulation, with broader potential uses such as altering sensations and disrupting addictive patterns.

About this episode

Area52 interviews Canadian author Shawn Neubauer, who says he has had ongoing communication with non-human entities since an episode of “missing time” in Cancún around 15 years ago. Neubauer describes hearing voices and seeing imagery he characterises as a “language of memes”, which he says evolved over time into a persistent, on-demand interface. He repeatedly frames his account as an engineering problem and says he sought psychiatric assessment and medical testing; he claims clinicians found no psychiatric disorder.

A central element of his story is a purported physical implant in his lip. Neubauer says it has been imaged (including MRI and X-ray) and alleges it can affect scans. He also alleges sustained “electronic harassment”, including unexplained access to accounts and large volumes of unfamiliar files appearing on his devices, and says he made three police reports.

Beyond personal claims, Neubauer outlines an expansive narrative about extraterrestrials operating in the Solar System for energy resources, including alleged undersea infrastructure and “trickster” behaviour. He argues the entities use implanted devices to collect behavioural data at scale, including to detect deception.

Neubauer says he is attempting to translate what he has learned into technology, including a wireless brain–computer interface aimed initially at sleep modulation, and calls for outside specialists to help validate (or falsify) his technical and forensic claims.
