Extraordinary Contact: Life Beyond "Intruders"
Debra Jordan-Kauble is an “ordinary” woman with a habit of attracting the extraordinary.
After reporting a terrifying anomalous experience to Budd Hopkins—pioneering researcher of alien abduction phenomena—Debra’s life takes a dramatic turn as she becomes the central figure in Hopkins’ best-selling book, Intruders, and in its popular TV adaptation. But while the TV series ended with a clear resolution, Debra’s astonishing story continued in real life.
In Extraordinary Contact, Debra shares with the reader her close-up and personal experiences with UFOs, poltergeists, the afterlife, Electronic Voice Phenomena, premonitions, synchronicities, and non-human entities. Such phenomena are woven throughout the vivid tapestry of Debra’s life—flourishes of the anomalous, offset against an everyday backdrop of factory work, family and friends.
Spanning four decades, Extraordinary Contact is a story of resilience and growth in the face of trauma, tragedy and loss, and an intimate, first-person account of what it means to be a lifelong experiencer of “impossible” phenomena.
“I have interviewed more than 2,000 experiencers. [They] are at first filled with shock, fear and anger about Something that intrudes, trespasses, controls and harvests them. But that Something also helps, protects and teaches. Eventually, once-terrified humans don’t want the Others to leave. In this remarkable book about her Extraordinary Contact, Debbie Jordan-Kauble penetrates that paradox with her own “Because of Them, my mind and my soul have grown.”

A must read if you're interested in UFOs and Extraterrestrials
I could not stop reading this book (which I finished in two days.) Debra is a master storyteller, and I loved her style of writing. It was as if she was in my room talking to me unrestrained. I am in awe of her courage and willingness to share her thoughts experiences. It has helped me tremendously, and I'm sure it will to help countless others as more people are "awakened. "

loved this book
I knew nothing about Debbie but was drawn to her book. After I started reading it, I saw a documentary with her in it & other people who are respected in the UFO community (like Linda Molten Howe. White,y Striber. etc). I was impressed by her sincerity…. would recommend this book

I first read Intruders in the late 80s when I was in middle school, thanks to Robert Stack. It was good to catch up with the author after all of these years. I fully believe everything that she says happened to her, happened to her. Even if it didn’t , it’s still highly-entertaining.

Enthralling
The experiences continue. An amazing account of an unconventional life. It makes you ponder the question “ Is there life out there.” I would answer “yes,”
