480. UFOs, Near-Death Experiences, Deathbed Visions, and Beyond - Simon Bown

Listen or watch

If you love exploring life’s biggest mysteries such as UFOs, past-life memories, and near-death experiences, this conversation with Simon Bown will feel like stepping through a cosmic doorway.

Simon hosts The Alien UFO Podcast and The Past Lives Podcast. He is a clinical hypnotherapist and the author of Verified Near Death Experiences: Proof of an Afterlife. His path includes close-up UFO sightings, striking past-life regressions, and decades of research into the survival of consciousness.

Early Fascination with the Unknown

From age ten Simon devoured books on ghosts, Bigfoot, and UFOs. In London he visited the College of Psychic Studies, experiencing mediumship and past-life regression. Those early explorations planted the seeds for a lifetime of inquiry.

A Close UFO Encounter

After a late-night gig Simon slowed on an empty motorway to watch a silent craft “the size of a large house” hovering 25 feet above a field. Red pin-lights dotted its underside and a powerful spotlight illuminated the ground. The moment felt like a nudge on his spiritual path. Listen about that here:

Hypnosis, Past Lives and Abduction Imagery

During a past-life regression Simon suddenly found himself on a table flanked by greys. It felt more like an abduction scene than a reincarnation memory. Whether a buried experience or symbolic subconscious material, it deepened his curiosity about consciousness beyond the body. More here:

Proof of an Afterlife

Simon’s book gathers 30 near-death accounts with verifiable details observed while experiencers were clinically unconscious. Examples include a patient who described a nurse’s phone call and the whimsical pattern on her husband’s socks, and a 1911 case in which a teen crushed by a wall witnessed his mother miles away exclaiming, “My boy has been hurt,” later confirmed point by point. For Simon these cases provide strong evidence that consciousness survives physical death.

Lessons from the Life Review

Many NDEs include a panoramic review where people re-experience moments from others’ perspectives. Small acts of kindness carry immense weight and unkindness is felt exactly as those affected felt it. The message is clear: even the smallest loving choices ripple widely.

Deathbed Visions

Research from hospice settings shows the dying often see deceased loved ones or radiant landscapes shortly before passing. These experiences become more frequent as death nears and bring peace rather than fear.

Kara’s Reflections

We compared notes on hypnagogic visions, subtle energy vibrations, and a “home frequency,” a resonance that draws each soul to realms matching its vibration. Whether we call it heaven or another dimension, these glimpses suggest death is a transition, not an end.
