#780 – Wayne Purdin – Contact, Visions, Prophecy and the Golden Age

#779 – Debra Stangl and Richard Kepple – High Vibe Relationships
September 8, 2026
Interview starts at 31:35
This episode follows Wayne Purdin’s early UFO encounters, his years as a UFO investigator, and how those experiences eventually led him into meditation, devotional practice, and prophetic interpretation. Graham Dunlop and Darren Grimes press Wayne on the line between extraterrestrial contact and spiritual experience, especially around CE5, grays, and higher beings.
Wayne’s story centers on a 1967 sighting that he describes as a first contact experience, plus a later cigar-shaped craft sighting with multiple independent witnesses. From there, the conversation moves into his spiritual framework, his books, and his view that the coming years are tied to a possible evacuation, mitigation, or golden-age transition.

Key topics
  • Wayne says his first UFO sighting happened on June 5, 1967, during a regional blackout, and he describes a large craft with several bright lights as a Pleiadian ship.
  • He says that during that sighting he prayed for guidance and received a telepathic message: “you will find a teacher.”
  • Wayne recounts a second sighting in September 1967 of a silent cigar-shaped craft near Waterford, Connecticut.
  • He says the next morning he heard multiple corroborating cigar-shaped UFO reports on talk radio, including one report of a craft splitting in half and another involving a person in a shiny spacesuit.
  • He explains his background with APRO and NICAP, saying he investigated newspaper sightings and interviewed witnesses with a large tape recorder.
  • The conversation shifts into meditation and spiritual development, including Wayne’s move away from UFO investigation and into Transcendental Meditation and later teaching.
  • Wayne discusses a meditative near-death experience where he encountered the goddess Durga, described a dweller or personal demon blocking access, and said the obstacle was overcome through devotion and love.
  • He draws a clear distinction between spiritual contact and extraterrestrial contact, arguing that devotion and consciousness determine what kind of beings someone attracts.
  • Wayne says he believes his 1967 message about meeting a teacher was fulfilled decades later when he met Ananda Devi Ma, whom he identifies as a co-author and spiritual guide.
  • The bulk of the episode focuses on his prophecy work, especially his book Twenty Thirty Five Golden Ageand his timeline centered on September 9 to 11, 2029.
  • He explains three different methods he used to derive the date, including a calculation from his own visions, a Daniel prophecy reference, and patterns in the Jewish calendar.
  • Wayne argues that the coming period could involve mass evacuation, tribulation, or mitigation depending on collective karma and prayer.
  • Graham and Darren repeatedly challenge and clarify whether the prophecy is fixed, symbolic, or something that can still be changed by consciousness and preparation.

Wayne Purdin is an author, longtime UFO researcher, and spiritual teacher whose work explores the intersection of extraterrestrial contact, ancient spiritual traditions, prophecy, and human transformation. A former investigator for NICAP and APRO, Wayne reports his own UFO encounters and has spent decades studying Transcendental Meditation, the Ascended Masters, Sun Yoga, white magic, and the Divine Mother traditions of India. Over the past six years, he has written 17 books covering subjects ranging from sungazing and alternative healing to Akhenaten, Jesus and Mary Magdalene, near-death experiences, prophecy, and the spiritual symbolism of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. His current work focuses on humanity’s transition through what he describes as the Tribulation and toward a coming Golden Age and higher-dimensional consciousness.
