Exploring UFO Encounters: Erik Schlimmer on Orange Orbs, Schoolyard Sightings & 1977 California Flap

In this fascinating episode of Curious Dimension, we welcome Erik Schlimmer— independent researcher, therapist, and UFO experiencer. The conversation begins with reflections on recent military UAP footage before diving into Eric’s own mysterious encounter with an orange orb during a solo backpacking trip in Colorado.

Erik then unpacks his deep research into the 1977 wave of UFO sightings across California, including numerous close encounters near schools. These sightings featured unusual craft flying in close proximity to children and teachers, raising profound questions about intent, awareness, and contact.

We also explore Eric’s work as a therapist supporting UFO experiencers — helping individuals process their encounters in a safe and nonjudgmental setting. From stigma to speculation, from childhood witnesses to cutting-edge technology, this episode offers a multi-layered look at the phenomenon.

🔍 Whether you're a seasoned researcher or just UFO-curious, you’ll find something thought-provoking in this wide-ranging discussion.
