Kay Rose Golden

My success is rooted in resilience, courage, and a commitment to speaking openly about experiences that are often difficult for others to discuss. Before entering advocacy and research, I built a career as a horse trainer, where I developed discipline, a strong work ethic, and the ability to stay grounded under pressure—qualities that continue to guide my leadership today. As I began sharing my personal experiences and documenting them through my books Into the Grey’s Abyss Volumes 1 and 2, I became increasingly focused on supporting others with similar stories and creating a safe space where they could be heard without judgment. I later accepted the role of CEO of Sky Watchers National after its founders were no longer able to continue, and I have since worked to expand its mission of support, education, documentation, and community outreach. I attribute my success to perseverance, authenticity, and a willingness to transform personal challenges into meaningful service for others. Through my writing, public speaking, podcast appearances, and ongoing engagement with experiencers, I remain committed to building a trusted platform where individuals can share their experiences safely, find understanding, and feel supported.

One of the most thought-provoking pieces of advice Kay ever received was the idea that "Earth is a giant petri dish," a perspective that encouraged her to remain curious about the mysteries of life and the broader universe. She interpreted this message as a reminder to keep an open mind, continue asking questions, and never stop exploring possibilities beyond what is currently understood. That philosophy has inspired her to approach her work with curiosity, courage, and a willingness to examine life's experiences from multiple perspectives while helping others seek understanding and meaning in their own journeys.

I would tell anybody who wants to do this that it can be done. We are non-profit, so we are not doing this for money, it's all donations. If you just want to start somewhere, start with a UFO podcast and see where it goes from there. A lot of people started that way, and a lot of abductees all of a sudden have a podcast. I'm very driven because of what happened to me, and that personal connection to the work is what keeps me going. For someone on the streets who just wants to get involved, begin with what you're passionate about and build from there. The key is being authentic and driven by a genuine desire to help people who have nowhere else to turn.

Right now, disclosure is out there for the people who care to look. It is there, it's been there for years. The document dumps that are coming out now might make some people say 'wow, that's really incredible, our government actually lied to us,' but yeah, they've been lying for a long time. There are scientists now that are missing or dead, and things are really kind of coming to a head with all of this. The biggest opportunity we have is that more people are becoming aware and open to these experiences. We're hoping that public radio is going to help us move this even more forward, because it's very important. The challenge is that these people don't have anybody to turn to, and when you can't even turn to your family member, that's devastating. Some of these people turn to drugs to avoid their families and telling people because they'll lose their jobs. There are millions of abductees out there who are scared to death to come forward. We want to do the public radio so we can go 'hey, we're here, come to us, talk to us, we're gonna investigate your case.' The opportunity is reaching those people and letting them know they're not alone.

Helping others is at the heart of everything I do. I am deeply passionate about supporting individuals who feel isolated, misunderstood, or unable to find help through traditional channels. My work is driven by compassion, empathy, advocacy, and a genuine desire to create a safe environment where people feel heard and respected. It's very important and deeply personal to me that we're there for these people, for anybody who needs us. I really want to be there for people because nobody was there for me until later. I'm on Facebook constantly, even when I should be training horses, because people are reaching out to me who say they have information, people who are sick, people who are dying with heart problems and need someone to talk to. I'm here, come to the organization, talk to us. Through writing, speaking, research, and community outreach, I strive to provide encouragement and understanding to those seeking answers. We want to be that sympathetic, empathetic, listening ear for people who can't go to a hospital or regular doctor to get help without being dismissed or institutionalized.
