Spoke to Dr. David Jacobs briefly after a dinner last night (serious)
I’m dating a woman whose mother is in an assisted living facility in Illinois. Dr. David Jacobs is also a resident at the facility.
After having dinner at the facility’s restaurant last night I walked over the Dr. Jacobs as he was leaving to head back to his room.
I introduced myself and said I’m a big fan of your work and just finished Walking Among Us. I loved your interview with Art bell and shared I’m also an artist and love Bud Hopkin’s paintings as well as his Ufology work. His face lite up with joy then seemed hesitant to start conversing.
I learned Dr Jacobs had a bad stoke a couple years ago
and his short term memory is pretty bad.
Anyway, I was able to get a couple questions in.
He told me he’s glad his research is over because ‘you never know when they would’ve come to get me’(said with a chuckle)
I asked if he thinks any of his patients reported back to aliens and if he thought they might know about him.
His response was, ‘it’s unlikely, and I don’t think they would care if they did know.’
After this answer he told me his mother was a violinist and he was not a musician. He also shared he grew up in Los Angeles.
My next question was ‘don’t you think if aliens wanted to destroy/takeover humanity it would’ve happened already?
He answered ‘yes - still, they are up to something and it’s not positive…and I won’t be around to find out!’
He had a large grin and chuckled after most of this thoughts.
He shared that he really enjoys being at the facility but has a hard time remember what happened 5 minutes ago. I asked if he’s reading anything or has any favorite shows/movies he like to watch.
His response was - I have a room, it has a bed and the rest is….they he shifted thought about watching the Bears/Rams game tonight with his son.
Cognitively Dr. Jacobs is struggling. I do get a sense that he connects at times and is present. I will see him again and will get a couple more questions in…. he often sits by himself in the lounge area.
He does participate in group activities but is mostly quiet.
I asked if it would be OK to sign my book next time I see him he responded ‘hell no!’ with a chuckle. Good to know a sense of humor still exists.
