Guest Biography:

Michael Lee Hill is an award winning musician, filmographer and UFO experiencer. His footage of the Lake Erie UFO’s has created a Billy Meier like buzz and Michael seems to have developed an intuitive relationship with these craft. In his home state of Ohio, Michael has been cataloging video after video of UFO’s over Lake Erie. The phenomena consists almost entirely of ‘Pulsating orb’s of light”—unusual lights seen changing colors, converging, and separating over the lake. Stories of the unexplained phenomena date back over 150 years to the indigenous North American Indian Tribes.

Imagine this, if you will…

You experience strange ET Contact & happenings your entire life. “They” begin to communicate through telepathy leading you to Cosmic Spiritual Truths regarding how Thought Create Reality subject matter. They begin to reveal themselves in the Physical in Orbs Of Light/Plasma

over Lake Erie. They allow you to film them. Your footage goes viral gaining worldwide attention.

Your footage lands you on a prime time TV show called UFO Hunters on the History Channel. On the episode, They decide to test your blood and it is revealed you do not have normal human blood, The UFO Hunters uncover a very rare blood anomaly/bloodline that the world’s best military and civilian doctors are at a loss to explain? The host of the show, legendary UFO Researcher Bill Birnes, goes on to say, “I’ve got a funny feeling that you are being recruited and there is a branch of the government that you’re being recruited for – that somehow, some way, you are a hybrid between “ET” and humans. And they are giving you a course of study preparing you to meet your ET higher self.”

Soon after the airing of this show You are indeed contacted by this branch of the government called the Labyrinth Group and offered a course of study. Then you are met by beings claiming to be ET’s and these beings announce themselves as the Anunnaki, which is a term at that point in time you didn’t even know the meaning of. These Anunnaki tell you that you yourself are an Anunnaki incarnated into the Nephilim “Royal” Human/Anunnaki Hybrid Bloodline? And then this secret branch of the government begins to inform and guide you to information to make sense out of all of this?

Welcome to my world!

Guest Biography:

Grant Cameron is the recipient of the Leeds Conference International Researcher of the Year and the UFO Congress Researcher of the Year. He became involved in Ufology as the Vietnam War ended in May 1975 with personal sightings of an UFO type object which locally became known as Charlie Red Star. These sightings led to a decade of research into the early 1950s work done by the Canadian government into the flying saucer phenomena. Cameron became the authority on the Canadian government program and Wilbert B. Smith who headed it up. This led to an investigation of the role in the UFO cover-up by the former President of Penn State University. The results of this research became the book “UFOs, Area 51 and the Government” in 1991. Cameron proceeded to do almost three decades of research into the role of the President of the United States in the UFO mystery. Most of that research can be found at the Presidents UFO Website – and in the recently published book “The Clinton UFO Storybook.” After experiencing a mental download event on February 26, 2012 Cameron turned his research interests away from “nuts and bolts” research to the role of consciousness in the UFO phenomena. This new research has expanded out to the possible involvement of extraterrestrials in modern music, and in the phenomena of inspirations and downloads in science discoveries, inventions, Nobel Prizes, music, art, books, near death experiences, meditation, and with individuals known as savants and prodigies. This research is detailed in two recent books “The Paranormal World of Music,” and “Inspired: The Paranormal World of Creativity,” which is the basis for a new series on Gaia TV. Cameron has lectured widely in Canada, the United States and Europe. He has appeared on many television documentaries on UFOs, and been interviewed by nearly a hundred radio shows including a number of appearances on Coast to Coast AM. In 2013 he was one of 40 witnesses that testified in front of six ex-Senators and Congressmen in Washington for the “Citizen’s Hearing UFO on Disclosure.” In 2016 Cameron was one of 6 UFO experts who testified in front of a panel of reporters in Brantford Ontario for the first public hearing on UFOs. His other books include his just released book, “Alien Bedtime Stories” with 72 articles on UFOs as they relate to the Presidents, consciousness, abductions, and musicians. He is preparing to release the books “Managing Magic: The Government’s UFO Disclosure Plan” and “Tales of Charlie Red Star” which details one of the largest UFO flaps in history.

Guest Biography:

My name is Amy Toy; Intuitive Counselor, Past Life Regression Therapist, Integrated Energy Therapy® Practitioner, Angelic Healer, Oracle Reader, Psychic Medium, Reiki Healer, and Radio Show Host.

I have been doing readings and corresponding with the angelic realm for over 30 years, and very adept at channeling angelic energy in a healing. I've had clear cognition of connecting to source energy since the age of three, and by fourteen I was proficient with tarot readings. My connection to the Divine was further heightened by not one, but TWO Near Death Experiences (NDE).

The second NDE re-opened my transcendental gifts. However, I suppressed these spiritual gifts because it was ingrained in me, that it was evil and not from the God. Later in life I discovered through my life's journey and soul searching that religion is used to bring us closer to ourselves, purpose, and Source. It was during my profound second NDE, I recognized that I was truly surrounded by God’s messengers; the Angels. From that point forward I harnessed my power enhancing my super natural gifts, and continually expend my knowledge through connecting with the angelic realm.

I consider it nothing less than an honor and a privilege to help those in need, have no doubt this is my very purpose in life. It gladdens my heart to be of service to those individuals from all walks of life! I have a unique way of looking at things, which enables me to understand any problems or issues that you may be currently facing, and to work with you towards finding a resolution that is in harmony with the greater good for all concerned.
