The End According to The Aliens - Amaury Rivera pt.2 | DEBRIEFED ep 86
7 min read1 May 2026Worth watching
TL;DR
This is part 2 of the alleged 1988 alien abduction story of Amaury Rivera from Puerto Rico, in which he describes being shown three apocalyptic projections aboard a craft: a meteor striking Puerto Rico, global earthquakes and societal collapse, and a final renewal of Earth by a being called 'the Originator.' The episode also covers Rivera waking in his car, photographing a UFO surrounded by military jets, and his psychological breakdown upon seeing the developed photos.
Key points
1
Rivera claims he was shown a projection of a massive meteor striking the western coast of Puerto Rico, triggering a tsunami that submerged the entire island, with only a small mountain peak remaining above water.
2
A third projection depicted cascading global catastrophe: constant earthquakes, contaminated water, extinction of sea life and birds, cannibalism, and a wealthy elite living on a floating glass-domed artificial island called 'Atlantis' protected by laser towers.
3
The final projection showed the floating city being destroyed when a cataclysmic earthquake triggers a nuclear plant explosion, causing a chain reaction of global nuclear detonations, leaving Earth a dark, ash-covered dead planet.
4
After total collapse, a being described as 'the Originator' descends in a column of light and rescues roughly 50 survivors, transporting them to a glowing city-sized craft containing gardens, rivers, and animals, where they live for 1,000 years before repopulating a restored Earth.
5
Rivera woke in his car in an unfamiliar location, photographed a silent blue-gray UFO being surveilled by three military jets before it shot away, then experienced severe psychological trauma and memory suppression upon seeing the developed photos, which also reportedly showed the human-looking extraterrestrial called Amaron.
Key takeaways
→
The recurring detail of abductees being shown catastrophic Earth-ending imagery aligns with patterns documented by researcher Bud Hopkins in regression cases, suggesting this is not unique to Rivera.
→
Rivera's photographs, which reportedly show not just the UFO and military jets but also the human extraterrestrial entity, are cited by host Chris Ramsey as the primary reason he takes this case more seriously than most abduction accounts.
→
The host raises a critical epistemological layer: even if Rivera is telling the truth about the experience, the beings themselves may not be telling Rivera the truth about the future, adding uncertainty that cannot be resolved from the testimony alone.
Notable quotes
“In reality, that's how it would happen. Those words destroyed me.”
“Not only whether or not Amorei is telling the truth, but whether or not these beings are telling Amorei the truth. That is an interesting layer that we have to dissect.”
“The human mind is incredible. Sometimes it knows when to forget. If not for this ability, one could go mad.”

Worth watching the full video?
Watch if you want the full immersive emotional experience of Rivera's narration and Ramsey's live reactions — the written descriptions of the projections are vivid, but hearing them read aloud adds significant atmosphere that the summary cannot fully replicate.
