At age twenty, Suzy Hansen’s life changed.  On a lonely country road in broad daylight, her car was engulfed by a massive ball of white light, resulting in ninety minutes of missing time and the unfathomable experience of “waking” after dark.  The experience resulted in her discovery of an alternative reality – time spent with extraterrestrials onboard their craft since childhood, and in fact, since her inception as a soul.

The Dual Soul Connection uniquely combines absorbing details of the life-long alien encounters of UFO researcher and experiencer Suzy Hansen (NZ), with scientific examination by Dr. Rudy Schild, Emeritus Astrophysicist, Harvard/Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics (USA).

The Dual Soul Connection highlights our interconnectedness with a wider universal family, revealing a process of disclosure by the aliens themselves – a journey of unfolding contact the whole of mankind is undertaking together.
