The CREATOR: 10-year-old Chase Valden, is an Experiencer!
In 2024 at the age of eight, Chase saw his first UFO in the night sky over Grapevine Texas. He was with his father, Don, and his grandmother, Peggy. It was around 10 pm just a few miles NW from DFW Airport. Chase was pointing his laser light up looking for moving stars. His dad said, “Chase, don’t point the laser towards the airport or they will come gets us! LOL.”
Chase was circling a star with his green laser light and then realized it was moving from left to right. He thought it was a satellite. But about a minute later, Chase said, “Dad, that star just stopped moving!” Grandma said, “I thought satellites didn’t stop moving?” Dad said, “No they don’t stop moving.” Chase then said, “Why is that satellite going up? And now it’s going down. And LOOK, IT STOPPED!”
Dad and Grandma stood there looking up at this light just sitting there in one spot for about a minute. Chase continued to make a circle around the object with his green laser light. He said “I’m trying to communicate.”
At that moment, the clouds started moving in front of the light object. A minute later the UFO was gone!
Chase was officially an “Experiencer” and has been a true believer to this day!

Don Valden
Don D. Valden is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of ARWA, Inc. – American Right of Way Academy. Don is an author, course writer and an instructor in the Oil & Gas and Energy industry. Don sits on several advisory boards and is a national public speaker, author, course writer and instructor at several colleges where he teaches Oil & Gas and Energy right-of-way acquisition courses to the public as well as to the Energy industry.
Currently, Don is a key member of an investigative team that has been trying to locate a dead alien allegedly buried in Texas. The team is using multiple technologies including state-of-the art ground penetrating radar (GPR), magnetometers, and drones with FLIR, LIDAR and other capabilities.
Don has been an Experiencer since he was 10 years old.
This is his story (which has been reported in detail to MUFON).
In the summer of 1968 in Fort Worth, Texas, Don was riding tandem on his racing green Schwinn bicycle with a “banana seat” and a “sissy bar.” His childhood friend, Ricky, was on the back of the seat.
It was over 100 degrees outside, and the boys were trying to get to Don’s house to get a cold Dr Pepper. Don and Ricky were wearing short pants with no shirt and no shoes! The street was probably over 120 degrees so they knew they couldn’t stop unless they saw grass next to the curb.
At that moment Ricky said, “Donnie, look up in the sky. It’s Apollo!” Don then said, “What?” Ricky said, “It’s I Dream of Jeanie!”
Don moved over to the spot of cooler grass he saw next to the curd, and they both jumped off the bike.
Ricky was pointing up to the clear blue Texas sky and said it again. “I Dream of Jeannie.”
When Don looked up, he knew exactly what Ricky meant by that comment. There was an Apollo shaped spacecraft in the sky. The “I Dream of Jeannie” comment was referencing the TV show with Larry Hagman and Barbara Eden, which was my favorite show at that time in 1968.
In the beginning of that TV show, the music plays while an animated cartoon of the Apollo space capsule lands on the beach is shown knocking over the Jeannie (genie) bottle.
Don describes that day as follows.
Ricky and I both quickly got back on my bike, and I peddled as fast as I could to tell my parents. Mom was not home but my father was outside watching us flying towards him on my bike screaming, “UFO, UFO, UFO! We just saw a UFO!”
My father said, “Settle down, I can’t understand you boys.” Ricky and I both caught our breath and then explained to Dad what we had just seen.
Dad then separated us and handed each of us a piece of paper and a pen and said, “Draw what you saw.”
We both drew the same thing.
Dad said that he had two problems with our story. He said, “First: there are no Apollo missions going on right now. And second: even if there were a mission, you would not be able to see the Apollo capsule with your eyes.”
He said, “The next mission is not going to be until next year in 1969 when we are going to be landing on the Moon.”
Don and Ricky did finally have those cold Dr Peppers!
This was Don’s initiation as an Experiencer!
