About the Book

In Sawubona: My 1989 Extraterrestrial Abduction, Ali Wood delivers a chilling and transformative account of her 1989 abduction, offering a stark warning about the fragile boundaries of reality and the mysteries that lie beyond. In October 1989, a chance UFO sighting shattered Ali’s understanding of the world, leaving her haunted by fragmented memories and strange physical changes. Her decades-long search for answers led her through fear, doubt, and profound revelations. Despite initial terror and hesitation to seek hypnotherapy, encouragement from MUFON eventually inspired her to reclaim her lost memories. What she uncovered was both extraordinary and unsettling—vivid recollections of otherworldly beings, invasive medical procedures, and a deeper connection to ancient knowledge tied to her Rh-negative blood and Basque ancestry. These revelations unearthed profound questions about humanity’s origins and our place in the cosmos. Ali’s experiences began to illuminate the intricate threads linking her soul to the wisdom of her ancestors and the greater truths hidden within the universe. Through this journey, she found herself confronting not only the unknown but also the resilience of faith and the interconnectedness of all life. More than a memoir, Sawubona is a call to reflect on the extraordinary hidden within the ordinary. The title, derived from the Zulu greeting meaning “I see you,” is a reminder to look deeper—into ourselves, our history, and the universe. Ali’s story is both a testament to courage and a warning: the universe holds secrets that may reshape everything we think we know. For those intrigued by the unexplained, the enduring strength of the human spirit, and humanity’s shared destiny, Sawubona offers an unforgettable journey into the mysteries of existence.
