Witnesses

Pamela Stonebrooke — Jazz singer and songwriter

Full Account

Pamela Stonebrooke was a professional jazz singer based in Los Angeles, known for performing at venues including the Hollywood Roosevelt Cinegrill and The Catalina Bar & Grill. She had toured as a vocalist for the band Sparks, opened for Kenny G and The Pointer Sisters, and was a requested performer at Gene Roddenberry’s private events. Her anomalous experiences, which she traced back to childhood, became public in the late 1990s and generated both intense interest and hostility.

Stonebrooke reported that her first anomalous experiences occurred around the age of eight or nine, when she discovered two unexplained scars on her body. She did not consciously connect these to entity encounters until decades later.

Her first fully conscious encounter occurred in approximately 1993 or 1994. She reported waking to find herself in a dimly lit metallic room shaped like a truncated pyramid. A line of small, grey-skinned beings entered the room and looked at her. One apparently female Grey approached, told her not to be afraid, and asked her to follow. Three smaller female beings then appeared — described as frail, with wispy hair resembling that of chemotherapy patients. They ran to Stonebrooke, grabbed her arms, and called her “mummy.” Upon waking, she reported finding small bruise marks on her arms.

Through subsequent hypnotic regression sessions, Stonebrooke reported recovering memories of multiple examinations by Grey entities spanning much of her life. She concluded the Greys were responsible for four phantom pregnancies she had experienced, and that she had been shown what she believed were hybrid offspring.

The encounters that brought her the most public attention occurred beginning in approximately 1998. Stonebrooke reported waking during the night to find herself in intimate contact with what appeared to be a blond human male of exceptional physical appearance. When she closed her eyes and reopened them, the figure had transformed into a six-foot-tall reptilian humanoid with scaly, snake-like skin and a vaguely alligator-like snout. She described the entity as having a sly, playful demeanor and communicating through intense telepathic exchange. She reported three encounters with this same reptilian entity over a period of approximately three years.

Stonebrooke did not describe herself as a victim. She characterized the reptilian encounters as involving intense sensual and emotional telepathic communication, and she preferred the term “experiencer” to “abductee.” She founded a support group for others reporting similar experiences at the Encino Women’s Center in Los Angeles.

Her first appearance on Art Bell’s Coast to Coast AM radio program on February 5, 1998, generated significant public reaction, including death threats. A second appearance in March 2002 produced less hostile response. She appeared on Fox News, the Discovery Channel, and the syndicated television program Strange Universe. She incorporated her experiences into her music, releasing an album titled “The Intergalactic Diva” in 2003 and adopting that phrase as a stage name.

Her book, “Experiencer: A Jazz Singer’s True Account of E.T. Contact,” was published in 2003 by Granite Publishing with a foreword by John E. Mack, the Harvard psychiatrist known for his research into experiencer accounts. The book had originally been contracted with Ballantine Books before moving to a smaller publisher.

The case occupies an unusual position in the encounter literature as one of the few publicly documented accounts of reported reptilian entity contact by an identified, professionally established witness who spoke openly under her own name. The reliance on hypnotic regression for some memories, the absence of physical evidence beyond self-reported bruising, and the single-witness nature of the encounters remain significant limitations.

Reported Effects

Physical: Small bruise marks on arms reported after Grey encounter; two unexplained scars from childhood

Investigation Notes

Stonebrooke was a professionally established jazz singer with a documented career spanning decades, including performances at the Hollywood Roosevelt Cinegrill and The Catalina Bar & Grill, work as vocalist for the band Sparks, and appearances at events for Gene Roddenberry. She was not an anonymous claimant. Harvard psychiatrist John E. Mack, who studied experiencer accounts extensively, wrote the foreword to her 2003 book, indicating he considered the case worthy of serious attention. However, additional encounter memories were recovered through hypnotic regression, a technique widely regarded by mainstream psychology as unreliable and potentially confabulatory. No physical evidence beyond self-reported bruising was presented. Greg Bishop, who knew Stonebrooke personally and interviewed her for Radio Misterioso, stated he accepted that she believed her own accounts while acknowledging his friendship compromised his skeptical filter. She received death threats after her first Coast to Coast AM appearance in 1998. Researcher Regan Lee treated the case as a folklore subject in a graduate project titled 'My Alien Lizard Lover: Animal Lore and UFOs.'
