The International Association of Alien Contactees (IAOAC), established in December of 2024 by Bill Rountree, serves as a critical space for individuals who have had contact with extraterrestrial life. The association aims to unite those who share a unique and often isolating experience—the visitation of intelligent beings from other planets. Through its resources, including Rountree’s book Aliens Are With Us: What I Learned From Aliens Visiting Me Over One Hundred Times Spanning Fifty Years, the IAOAC seeks to shed light on these extraordinary experiences and foster a community of understanding and support.
The inception of the IAOAC follows Rountree’s realization, after writing his book, that there was a significant need for a platform dedicated to alien contactees. He notes that while there are likely millions of people worldwide who have had such encounters, only a small number of them come forward publicly to share their experiences. These individuals, often out of fear of ridicule or harassment, carry knowledge and insights that are unique to them, and they understand the profound implications of their experiences better than anyone else.
“There are undoubtedly hundreds of thousands or even millions of people around the world who have had contact with intelligent life from other planets,” says Rountree. “Many of these individuals are reluctant to share their stories due to the potential for public mockery. However, the goal of the IAOAC is to provide a safe space where they can come together, share their experiences, and realize they are not alone.”
The IAOAC’s mission is to empower alien contactees by validating their experiences and offering a platform for those who have faced similar encounters. The association encourages individuals to come forward without fear of judgment, creating a collective environment where their experiences are understood, respected, and given serious consideration.
Through its online presence and community outreach, the IAOAC hopes to provide insight into the ongoing mystery of extraterrestrial visitations. The organization serves not only as a hub for contactees but also as a place of education for the public to understand more about these experiences. Whether individuals are still unsure of what they’ve encountered or have come to terms with their extraterrestrial interactions, the IAOAC works to help them make sense of their experiences and realize their significance.
The IAOAC also aims to change the broader societal perspective on alien contact. “The world is often quick to dismiss these experiences as fantasy or delusion. Our goal is to foster a broader understanding of what these encounters truly mean, both for the individuals involved and for humanity as a whole,” says Rountree.
The organization is uniquely positioned as the primary resource for those seeking answers, validation, and a community that understands what they have gone through. Given the limited number of individuals who are openly willing to share their alien contact stories, the IAOAC stands as a pioneering force, offering a forum for members to connect, learn, and support each other.
The IAOAC and its founder, Bill Rountree, continue to gather momentum in bringing awareness to this often-overlooked phenomenon. Through their work, they are establishing a significant legacy, advocating for the recognition and understanding of alien contact experiences. By giving voice to those who have encountered extraterrestrial life, the IAOAC seeks to create a future where these experiences are no longer dismissed but instead studied and respected.
