“I died when I was 15 years old. I drowned out in the ocean more specifically I was out beyond the waves on a blowup raft. It took some energy to get out there so I turned around and was facing the beach, not realizing the waves come in sets and break progressively closer to the shore.”

About Richard Kelley
Richard Kelley, president, CEO, and director of Geospace, has described a near-death experience he said occurred when he was 15 years old. In a 2015 interview, Kelley stated that he drowned in the ocean after being caught in a wave while on a blowup raft. He recounted experiencing a profound sense of peace and feeling loved, and said he perceived himself leaving Earth and viewing the planet from space, where he felt all information about any person's life was available. Kelley described the experience as being in a "wonderful place" where he felt "completely loved and in touch with a vast array of other beings," and said he was told it was not his time to go. Kelley has also shared philosophical reflections based on his experience. He described life as a "play" that people co-author, and stated that "you can never be a victim unless you choose to be one." He compared a potential God to "the root and the tree" with humans as "branches and leaves." Kelley said he has "never looked at life the same again" following the event.
