American Alchemy / Jesse Michels ↗YouTube-hosted preview and player; not relicensedBlitch, a West Point graduate who ran DARPA's Tactical Mobile Robots programme and later worked in Air Force research, appeared on American Alchemy to describe a 1995 missing-time episode and a 2013 anomaly witnessed with others. He frames his account carefully and cites the hypnosis literature. His career is documented; the experiences rest on his testimony.

Claims made
John Blitch's stated credentials — West Point, seven years in Special Forces with five command tours, DARPA program manager for tactical mobile robotics, recall as a GS-15 for the 2001-02 Afghanistan cave-robot mission, and a cognitive-psychology doctorate — are extensive and partly self-evidencing in the interview's technical detail.

Blitch testified that in 1995, weeks after the Oklahoma City bombing, a mountain-bike ride near Daniel's Park, Colorado produced at least five hours of missing time, that his wife searched the ridgeline and filed a missing-person report, and that a police officer located him at a 7-Eleven and radioed in that he was found.

Blitch testified that in 2013 he and his neighbor Andy both watched a dark swirling 'miniature hurricane' with an eye over the lot between their houses, that both men inexplicably went back inside instead of discussing it, and that the next morning he videotaped three bruises on the underside of his bicep and one on his tricep he cannot account for.

Blitch testified that the ride included a sudden gushing nosebleed at a burial-ground fence, a fuzzy memory of a fuel truck with a man in a red plaid shirt in its cab, terror, and a later 'dream' of a mantis being that lectured him ('this body... is nothing but a soul container') while simulating tearing flesh from his cheeks.

it's nothing but a soul container and we can't do anything to hurt that or steal it or damage it

Blitch testified that after hearing Terry Lovelace's 'Dr. Bug' account at a 2018 conference he underwent one hypnotic-regression session, from which he concluded the mantis dream and the mountain-bike event were the same event and the red plaid shirt was a red uniform on the being.
- 1:24:28 Meet The DARPA Scientist Abducted By an Alien · John Blitch ▶
went through the regression and realized that the bug dream and the mountain bike dream were not two separate events and the red plaid shirt was a uniform

Blitch stated that he vetted Jake Barber's four-person team in person, watched for inconsistencies, and assigns roughly three-sigma (99%) confidence to Barber's core account.

Blitch stated, defending hypnotic regression, that two men sit on death row in Texas convicted partly on hypnotically retrieved details, that the Spiegel eye-roll test gauges hypnotizability, and — quoting Leo Sprinkle — that 'all hypnosis is self-hypnosis'.
