David Wilcock (born 1973) is an American paranormal writer, media personality, and YouTuber. He is a significant figure in the disclosure movement. Wilcock has suggested that he is in telepathic contact with space aliens; some of his adherents believe he is the reincarnation of Edgar Cayce.
Wilcock was born in Rotterdam, New York.[2] His father, Donald, was a journalist and the author of a biography of Buddy Guy. David graduated from the State University of New York at New Paltz (SUNY, New Paltz) in 1995, where he studied psychology.[2] He unsuccessfully applied to graduate school at Naropa University.[2] Following his graduation from SUNY, New Paltz, Wilcock worked for several weeks at a psychiatric hospital, according to religious studies scholar David G. Robertson.[2]
Robertson reports that Wilcock's interest in the paranormal began in 1993 when he heard from someone who, in turn, heard from someone else, that it was "common knowledge at NASA that UFOs had been recovered from crash sites".[2] He was later told by his girlfriend, Yumi, that a Shinto shaman said he would become a "famous spiritual leader", and, a roommate also told him he had a dream in which Wilcock appeared as a "wanderer".[a] By the late 1990s, it had been suggested to Wilcock that he was the reincarnation of Edgar Cayce.[2]
Wilcock has established himself as a significant figure in the disclosure movement, which advocates for the end of what it believes is United States Government secrecy about the existence of aliens and UFOs, and has written a number of books.[3] In 2004, North Atlantic Books published Wilcock and Wynn Free's The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce? which the publisher describes as presenting a theory that "Wilcock might indeed be [Edgar] Cayce’s reincarnation" and in which Wilcock and Free go on to posit that humanity would soon undergo a transformation from matter to energy.[4][5]
Eight years later, in 2012, E. P. Dutton published Wilcock's The Source Field Investigations: The Hidden Science and Lost Civilizations Behind the 2012 Prophecies,[6] which Kirkus Reviews described as chronicling his prediction that the year 2012 would be "the start of an epoch that may usher in a higher state of consciousness".[7] According to publisher Penguin Random House, Wilcock's books Awakening in the Dream and The Ascension Mysteries were both New York Times bestsellers.[8]

From 2015 to 2018 Wilcock co-hosted, with Corey Goode, a program on Gaia called Cosmic Disclosures.[9] Wilcock's 2018 documentary style film Above Majestic, according to Vice, makes the case that "reptilian aliens occupy large swaths of Antarctica, are massing for an invasion, and control the world’s governments and banks".[3] A review of the film on Movieweb describes it as advancing the theory that the September 11 attacks were an "alien conspiracy cover up".[10] The following year, Wilcock produced the documentary style film The Cosmic Secret, which Vice described as predicting an upcoming global catastrophe based on information Wilcock purports to have received via telepathic contact with space aliens.[3]
↑ The idea of "wanderers" is a theory described by writer Scott Mandelker that posits that space aliens reincarnate into human forms to work toward the spiritual development of Earth.[2]
