As with most contactees in the earth ET/UFO realm, Jerry Wills had his first meeting at an early age. Beginning before his thirteenth birthday, he had a series of learning experiences with each contact. Wills participates in some UFO extraterrestrial seminars and conferences. However, he does not spend all his time and effort following or speaking to others about his experiences. Jerry earns his living as the owner and operator of an electronic repair business in Phoenix, Arizona.

There seems to be many commonalities among most contactees, but Jerry seems to have fewer of these traits, physical and educational, than the majority of those who have come forward with their experiences. He was born at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Soon after, his family moved to Colorado where his father died. Still a very young boy, his mother remarried, and they moved back to Kentucky, into the hills, to a remote area where he grew up. Wills had few friends in school, not because he acted differently but because of his height—by the time he reached high school he was almost six-foot-seven inches tall. At this time he was first visited by an alien.

Out in the woods nearly five miles from home, Jerry sat, awaiting a friend. The two planned to scout a nearby Civil War burial ground. The friend never showed up. Instead there was Zo, a causal, friendly man, strangely dressed in matching coveralls and boots. In spite of this unknown man’s appearance in the remote place, Wills was neither surprised nor frightened. The man sat and the two talked for almost two hours before Zo left, walking over a small hill. A few minutes later, Jerry saw a flying saucer rise from behind the trees and disappear into the sky.
