Future API Case Files Live guest is therapist Rachel Bond

  By Front Page, Help for experiencers, Podcast, Public Education

We’re planning to have therapist Rachel Bond on our Livestream April 3rd 2026. She is located here in Maryland, and works with people who have had anomalous experiences.To quote her Psychology Today profile:

I help individuals integrate experiences that expand or challenge their sense of self, whether spiritual crisis, near-death or out-of-body experiences, paranormal phenomena, and/or encounters that are simply just beyond-ordinary experience.

We will take questions for her in advance, or you can ask your question live via the chat. You can also call our hotline and leave a voicemail. The link below will take you to the livestream when it goes live at 9:00 PM on April 3rd, 2026.

Maryland experiencers – need help?

  By Help for experiencers

You may or may not not be interested in an API investigation of your experiences, but if you are struggling to cope with your memories, we can refer you to someone in Maryland who can help, and will listen to you without judging or pathologizing your situation. All interactions you have with a therapist are strictly confidential,  and API will not be involved.

Contact us and we’ll help you take the next step. You are under no obligation, and we will not pressure you to tell us your story in any detail at all. If you do want to report an experience to us for our investigation, then also go to our sighting report form.

In any case, we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

The Basics of Recording UFO video

  By Public Education, Videos

We have a new Public information video out going over a few simple steps to capture a UFO on video should you happen to sight one.

Here at API we have lots of experience with people submitting video to us of something weird they saw in the sky. Most of the time, it turns out that it’s not so weird, but sometimes we are left puzzled, or at least a little perplexed. If you are watching this video, chances are you are hoping to someday capture video of an object you can’t identify – something that is moving in odd ways, or has a shape or color that makes little sense. This is about what to do when that moment arrives.

We’ll assume that what you are shooting this video with is your mobile phone, since that is the only camera most people routinely carry, but the basic advice should apply to any camera.

There really isn’t any question of whether to shoot or not shoot video – if you have a functioning camera, you shoot. You don’t have to worry that people will think less of you – API will protect you from all the stigma, and anything in the video that might identify you will be muted, blurred, or edited out.
