Greta Andron Woodrew Smolowe (December 16, 1929 – September 1, 2010) was an author, psychic and healer,[1] and purported contactee of extraterrestrial beings.

[9] Woodrew was the great-granddaughter of David and Wilhemina Cohen, the former of whom was a founder and funder of the Eldridge Street Synagogue in New York City.

In her 1981 book On A Slide of Light, she described her encounters as taking place initially "under laboratory conditions with a leading medical doctor and scientist."

[She] could be sitting at [her] desk at, say, 10 a.m., getting ready to phone a client about a prospect, [she] dialed the number and once again glanced at the clock, and to her confusion, it would read 10:45..."(The Saucer Life podcast; March 18, 2020 episode; 7:10) Woodrew attributed these time discrepancies to a "continuing dialogue with extraterrestrial intelligences transcending time and space and the third dimension."

(The Saucer Life podcast; March 18, 2020 episode; 7:54) The beings with which Woodrew claimed she had contact with were supposedly from another solar system located astronomically on the Messier list at M-92.

[13] The experiments the two undertook, leading to Woodrew's alien contacts, took place at what Puharich called Lab Nine on his estate in Ossining, New York.

One such instance of healing was for ballerina Virginia Rich Barnett for whom Woodrew, "in minutes, cured [...] of a knee injury so severe doctors told her she would never even exercise again, let alone dance.

She also served as a senior writer for People[23] and published two books, Four Funerals and a Wedding: Resilience in a Time of Grief[24][25] and An Empty Lap: One Couple’s Journey to Parenthood.
