The “UFO of God” Guy and His Startling Iran War Prophecy for April 5, 2026.
I wrote about Chris Bledsoe several months ago in a story titled When God Sends a UFO. I was scrolling the social media site Threads a couple of nights ago when I saw his name mentioned—and what I read startled me, to the point I had to read it twice.
It seems that Bledsoe has made a prophecy that has to do with the war in Iran, a prediction that something strange and otherworldly will happen this Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026. Before I reveal it, here’s a little background on Bledsoe.
Bledsoe had an encounter with a UFO—and high strangeness followed.
Bledsoe is the author of a book titled UFO of God in which he detailed the stranger-than-fiction tale of his encounter with a UFO and what happened afterward. What follows is an excerpt from my original story:
Bledsoe is from rural North Carolina, a small business owner and dedicated churchgoer. But his life goes topsy-turvy after he encounters a fiery UFO during a fishing trip on the Cape Fear River. The UFO seems to chase him, and the event is witnessed by several others including his teenage son.
By far, the strangest part of Bledsoe’s story isn’t the UFO that he witnessed or the “missing time” that was part of that encounter. It’s the weird happenings that follow him home. One day in his backyard, a tree spontaneously bursts into flames. Brilliant “white beyond white” orbs begin appearing in and around his home.
What’s more, those around him, including friends and acquaintances who visit Bledsoe, begin to experience what he calls “the phenomena” as well. Some begin seeing UFOs and orbs in the skies around their homes. As if just being in Bledsoe’s proximity is enough to export the high strangeness.
Bledsoe has a visit with a divine figure he calls “the Lady.”
One night Bledsoe is lifted from his bed through the roof by “a brilliant bluish-white light” hovering above his house. He senses he is being transported to another dimension and winds up in “a canyon carved deep into the land.” There, three entities lead him to a brilliant light where he meets “the Lady.” He describes her like this:
Her dress was such a bright white I could hardly look at it. She was seated on a massive stone-carved throne in a recess in the canyon wall. As the beings led me to her, I watched her, unmoving, powerful, unspeakably beautiful.
He describes her as “the Mother Spirit” and some speculate she represents the divine feminine consciousness. Bledsoe sees the Lady in white as representing the spirit of God. He sees “a benevolent aura surrounding all my experiences,” believing they are the handiwork of God. He has had several additional encounters with the Lady since.
You might think this sounds crazy. But know that Bledsoe is friends with high-level officials in both NASA and the CIA—who believe what he says. A former CIA Senior Intelligence Officer, Jim Semivan, investigated Bledsoe’s case for over a decade, and was so convinced by Bledsoe’s story, he wrote the foreword to his book UFO of God.
Bledsoe received a message from the Lady about the Iran War.
Back in 2013, Bledsoe received a message that thousands of orbs would rise from the world’s oceans in 2026—when Iran and Israel started bombing each other. He says the orbs will appear specifically to stop the conflict and wake humanity up before it destroys itself. A sort of divine intervention that would usher in a new beginning for humanity, letting us know we are being watched and protected.
What are the orbs?
They’re usually described as glowing balls of light, ranging from the size of a basketball to much larger. They often pulsate or change colors—most frequently appearing as white, gold, or a deep “burnt” orange. Bledsoe views them as “guardians.” The Divine Feminine returning to Earth to guide us, and our leaders, to a new level of consciousness.
What about the timing?
Appearing on the Danny Jones Podcast in December 2023, Bledsoe said that the “new knowledge” was given to him during a series of new encounters he had with the Lady. She told him the orbs would appear when “Regulus turning red at the Sphinx’s gaze,” which at the time, made no sense to Bledsoe. So how does that relate to this Easter, April 5th, 2026?
When Bledsoe first revealed his revelation, he didn’t mention a specific date, but he believed the event would around the September equinox, Fall 2026. But when several astrologers heard the news, they explained what his message meant: Regulus is the brightest star in the constellation Leo (the Lion). In ancient Egyptian symbolism, the Sphinx is often linked to Leo.
The “gaze” refers to the moment Regulus rises above the eastern horizon, appearing directly in the line of sight of the Sphinx.
As Regulus rises, its light must pass through a much thicker layer of Earth’s atmosphere than when it is overhead.
The atmosphere scatters away the blue and violet light, leaving only the red and orange wavelengths to reach our eyes.
On Easter Sunday, will thousands of orbs rise from the oceans?
The timing points to this Easter, April 5th as the date when thousands of orbs will simultaneously rise from the oceans, specifically the Persian Gulf and Mediterranean Sea, though they may also be seen in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Bledsoe himself believes it could happen on Sunday, or later this year as he originally projected. He points out that the Lady never game him a calendar date, only astrological symbols.
Isn’t history full of prophecies that never come true? Yes, but let’s give Bledsoe some credit. In 2013, he did predict a war between Iran and Isreal in 2026, though even 13 years ago the idea may not have been so far-fetched. But foreseeing thousands or orbs rising from the ocean, takes the prediction (or what he prefers to calls a “message”) to a whole other level.
Watch this video of Chris Bledsoe, and you’ll see he is a humble man who is retelling a story that has been told him. He sincerely believes it and I don’t doubt that he has experienced some strange things. As for me, my brain doubts anything so mind-boggling will happen this Easter—though my heart knows that humanity could sorely use a wake-up call. We’ll see on Sunday!
