What Will it take to Convince People that UFOs are Important? UFO historian Richard Dolan has described the initial reaction of many people to his passionate involvement with the subject. They express interest, might even describe something they saw on TV concerning the phenomenon, and then after a few minutes of his well-informed explanations, their eyes gloss over and they are clearly bored.

THE ROLE OF AUTHORITY FIGURES

Yes, it’s true; opinion polls indicate the public is interested in UFOs, now officially called UAP. Advertising executives have long known this, but the fascination is for most part quite superficial. Why is this? I suspect that it is because prior to the winter of 2017 most authority figures have essentially said that there’s nothing to it.

After all, the world is terribly complex. Thus, we rely on authorities to use vast amounts of data to make what we hope are reasonable decisions. Most people have little understanding of the technological “miracles” that science has achieved, but they are grateful and trust the devices, like planes, autos and computers to work reliably.

Needing to trust leaders, I suspect, might be built into our psychobiology. For a million years before civilization was established, hunter-gatherers worked in small groups to survive. Shamans that could use primitive psi abilities combined with careful observations of nature played important roles. Leadership was a question of life and death. Those clans that had the best leaders, the shamans that knew how to most best hunt animals, find healing herbs and deliver babies, played critical roles in survival. Thus, most of us have a strong tendency to “follow the leader” and when this becomes extreme, “We the People” run the risk of becoming, “We the sheeple.”

LINKING UFOs TO SOLUTIONS FOR MAJOR PROBLEMS

For the UFO question to have a truly major impact on the mass consciousness, this subject will need to be transformed from an entertaining diversion and become a way of addressing the seemingly insurmountable problems our planet is facing. This is already being attempted by those within the UFO community that discuss the possibility of downloading into our technological culture the secrets of the energy propulsion systems of flying saucers. So-called “free energy” in one fell swoop might eliminate poverty and pollution, possibly even reversing global warming and ending world hunger.

Of course, for the so-called ETs to give us such devices, they might understandably insist on a peaceful transformation of our planet to replace what Ufologist Stanton Friedman called our perpetual state of “tribal warfare.” In the past such a proposition was an impossibly “hard sell” because military and political leaders, the mass media and academia all in service to ruling elites repeatedly insisted, “There is nothing to it.”

HE WHO PAYS THE PIPER CALLS THE TUNE

Clandestine forces determined to keep a lid on the UFO issue have been called “the control groups.” In the past, they employed a strategy of recruiting authority figures to block any significant discussion of flying saucers. Opinion makers that stepped out of line found that their access to funding would be cut off. This was done behind the scenes and has been quite effective in my opinion.

In the USA, the National Academy of Sciences made it perfectly clear that UFO studies are not part of the “legitimate” agenda for professional science. Scientists that stepped out of line could find themselves unable to secure grants thus ending their careers. This has now changed somewhat with the Galileo Project headed by Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb. It should be mentioned, however, that Dr. Loeb’s UAP detection project is reportedly supported in such a way so as not to take money from traditional scientific financial backers. Heavens forbid a UAP investigation might divert funding for “real science.”

In broadcast journalism in the past, talk show hosts that might inform the public in a detailed way about flying saucers could find themselves without corporate sponsors. We should not forget that major newspapers are controlled through their editorial boards that in turn are dependent on commercial advertising to continue publishing.

This analysis of the social mechanisms of the “UFO Truth Embargo” is not a conspiracy theory. I merely describe the way power works. In the former Soviet Union, it was the political dictatorship of the Communist Party that attempted to regulate almost every aspect of people’s lives. That social experiment failed miserably. In the West, however, social control is far more sophisticated, decentralized and uses the knowledge of social psychology called “public relations” to effectively manipulate the masses.

RESISTANCE TO CHANGE ALSO COMES FROM WITHIN

On the individual level, our tendency to identify with our thoughts leads to profound attachments to old ideas. This resistance to changing one’s point of view flows from the ego itself. “Ego” in this context means identification with thought forms.  People strive to defend their religion, political ideology, or moral customs to the point where some would even kill to maintain them. Just look at the present situation in Middle East, or at the millions killed centuries ago during the Spanish Inquisition and the Protestant Reformation in Europe.

Something similar in my opinion applies to acknowledging that an “ET” and/or “interdimensional” explanation for the flying saucer phenomenon might be true. Such a realization threatens to radically change the conceptual paradigm of our entire civilization. Since humans so strongly identify with their present beliefs, it is understandable that many reject such a brave new worldview in which we might have to accept a potent non-human presence.

UFO INTELLIGENCE HAS A TIGER BY THE TAIL.

What about the intelligences responsible for flying saucers? Could “they” (whoever they ultimately turn out to be) simply fill the sky with structured craft? Or stage the proverbial “landing on the Whitehouse Lawn?” Such actions would certainly convince the masses that flying saucers are of the greatest importance. In my judgment, this scenario is the least likely to ever take place. Given the militaristic mindset of our civilization, a sudden realization of the reality of UFOs could be catastrophic. My guess is that careful gradual efforts to alert us of their importance is the game plan of both the intelligences responsible for the phenomenon and some elements of the establishment as well. I recommend Grant Cameron’s book “Managing Magic.” He shows how the US Executive Branch has pursued a gradual acclimatization project which runs in parallel to the coverup. 

So, what will it take to change mass public opinion on the flying saucer question? If the alleged “ETs” continue the present pattern of interactions, millions of individual sightings yearly interspersed with occasional massive waves, I imagine that there will be opportunities to slowly build public awareness by a responsible program of education.

RESPONSIBLE PROGRAM OF PUBLIC EDUCATION

This will require UFO enthusiasts to discipline the crazies in our midst, think creatively and most importantly of all build stable, well-financed organizations to carry out the educational campaign. All this will need to be done in opposition to the control groups that have great experience in manipulating public opinion and putting their spin on the limited disclosure efforts that has been going on.

“TURNING PAGES IN A PLAY BOOK”

Can we trust UFO intelligences to follow what we imagine is their existing “game plan” of gradually alerting humanity to their presence? I suppose not. UFO researcher Michael Lindemann once said that we should never assume that we can think like the so-called “aliens.” Nevertheless, the ever-changing pattern of interactions, as pointed out by UFO researcher Grant Cameron, appears to be as if the aliens have been turning the pages of a “play book.” This can be seen by the appearance of “Men in Black” in the 1950s, so called “alien abductions” starting in the 1960s and followed by crop circles reported in Southern England and then all over the world. While all this has been happening, tens of thousands of contact experiencers have described mental interactions with flying saucer intelligences. Many of these individuals are instilled with a sense of mission and are striving to convince their fellow “Earthlings” that we should look up and accept what our eyes are seeing.

In my judgment, UFO intelligences will continue to present us with new and creative ways of waking us up from our collective stupor concerning their “wonders in the sky.” I believe their presence is non-harmful and very likely beneficial for mankind. Bringing others to this hopeful perspective, I imagine, is a challenge that many contact and disclosure activists will continue to face for some time.

In the former Soviet Union, it was the political dictatorship of the Communist Party that attempted to regulate almost every aspect of people’s lives. That social experiment failed miserably. In the West, however, social control is far more sophisticated, decentralized and uses the knowledge of social psychology called “public relations” to effectively manipulate the masses.

RESISTANCE TO CHANGE ALSO COMES FROM WITHIN

On the individual level, our tendency to identify with our thoughts leads to profound attachments to old ideas. This resistance to changing one’s point of view flows from the ego itself. “Ego” in this context means identification with thought forms.  People strive to defend their religion, political ideology, or moral customs to the point where some would even kill to maintain them. Just look at the present situation in Middle East, or at the millions killed centuries ago during the Spanish Inquisition and the Protestant Reformation in Europe.

Something similar in my opinion applies to acknowledging that an “ET” and/or “interdimensional” explanation for the flying saucer phenomenon might be true. Such a realization threatens to radically change the conceptual paradigm of our entire civilization. Since humans so strongly identify with their present beliefs, it is understandable that many reject such a brave new worldview in which we might have to accept a potent non-human presence.

UFO INTELLIGENCE HAS A TIGER BY THE TAIL.

What about the intelligences responsible for flying saucers? Could “they” (whoever they ultimately turn out to be) simply fill the sky with structured craft? Or stage the proverbial “landing on the Whitehouse Lawn?” Such actions would certainly convince the masses that flying saucers are of the greatest importance. In my judgment, this scenario is the least likely to ever take place. Given the militaristic mindset of our civilization, a sudden realization of the reality of UFOs could be catastrophic. My guess is that careful gradual efforts to alert us of their importance is the game plan of both the intelligences responsible for the phenomenon and some elements of the establishment as well. I recommend Grant Cameron’s book “Managing Magic.” He shows how the US Executive Branch has pursued a gradual acclimatization project which runs in parallel to the coverup. 

So, what will it take to change mass public opinion on the flying saucer question? If the alleged “ETs” continue the present pattern of interactions, millions of individual sightings yearly interspersed with occasional massive waves, I imagine that there will be opportunities to slowly build public awareness by a responsible program of education.

RESPONSIBLE PROGRAM OF PUBLIC EDUCATION

This will require UFO enthusiasts to discipline the crazies in our midst, think creatively and most importantly of all build stable, well-financed organizations to carry out the educational campaign. All this will need to be done in opposition to the control groups that have great experience in manipulating public opinion and putting their spin on the limited disclosure efforts that has been going on.

“TURNING PAGES IN A PLAY BOOK”

Can we trust UFO intelligences to follow what we imagine is their existing “game plan” of gradually alerting humanity to their presence? I suppose not. UFO researcher Michael Lindemann once said that we should never assume that we can think like the so-called “aliens.” Nevertheless, the ever-changing pattern of interactions, as pointed out by UFO researcher Grant Cameron, appears to be as if the aliens have been turning the pages of a “play book.” This can be seen by the appearance of “Men in Black” in the 1950s, so called “alien abductions” starting in the 1960s and followed by crop circles reported in Southern England and then all over the world. While all this has been happening, tens of thousands of contact experiencers have described mental interactions with flying saucer intelligences. Many of these individuals are instilled with a sense of mission and are striving to convince their fellow “Earthlings” that we should look up and accept what our eyes are seeing.

In my judgment, UFO intelligences will continue to present us with new and creative ways of waking us up from our collective stupor concerning their “wonders in the sky.” I believe their presence is non-harmful and very likely beneficial for mankind. Bringing others to this hopeful perspective, I imagine, is a challenge that many contact and disclosure activists will continue to face for some time.

What Will it take to Convince People that UFOs are Important?

UFO historian Richard Dolan has described the initial reaction of many people to his passionate involvement with the subject. They express interest, might even describe something they saw on TV concerning the phenomenon, and then after a few minutes of his well-informed explanations, their eyes gloss over and they are clearly bored.

THE ROLE OF AUTHORITY FIGURES

Yes, it’s true; opinion polls indicate the public is interested in UFOs, now officially called UAP. Advertising executives have long known this, but the fascination is for most part quite superficial. Why is this? I suspect that it is because prior to the winter of 2017 most authority figures have essentially said that there’s nothing to it.

After all, the world is terribly complex. Thus, we rely on authorities to use vast amounts of data to make what we hope are reasonable decisions. Most people have little understanding of the technological “miracles” that science has achieved, but they are grateful and trust the devices, like planes, autos and computers to work reliably.

Needing to trust leaders, I suspect, might be built into our psychobiology. For a million years before civilization was established, hunter-gatherers worked in small groups to survive. Shamans that could use primitive psi abilities combined with careful observations of nature played important roles. Leadership was a question of life and death. Those clans that had the best leaders, the shamans that knew how to most best hunt animals, find healing herbs and deliver babies, played critical roles in survival. Thus, most of us have a strong tendency to “follow the leader” and when this becomes extreme, “We the People” run the risk of becoming, “We the sheeple.”

LINKING UFOs TO SOLUTIONS FOR MAJOR PROBLEMS

For the UFO question to have a truly major impact on the mass consciousness, this subject will need to be transformed from an entertaining diversion and become a way of addressing the seemingly insurmountable problems our planet is facing. This is already being attempted by those within the UFO community that discuss the possibility of downloading into our technological culture the secrets of the energy propulsion systems of flying saucers. So-called “free energy” in one fell swoop might eliminate poverty and pollution, possibly even reversing global warming and ending world hunger.

Of course, for the so-called ETs to give us such devices, they might understandably insist on a peaceful transformation of our planet to replace what Ufologist Stanton Friedman called our perpetual state of “tribal warfare.” In the past such a proposition was an impossibly “hard sell” because military and political leaders, the mass media and academia all in service to ruling elites repeatedly insisted, “There is nothing to it.”

HE WHO PAYS THE PIPER CALLS THE TUNE

Clandestine forces determined to keep a lid on the UFO issue have been called “the control groups.” In the past, they employed a strategy of recruiting authority figures to block any significant discussion of flying saucers. Opinion makers that stepped out of line found that their access to funding would be cut off. This was done behind the scenes and has been quite effective in my opinion.

In the USA, the National Academy of Sciences made it perfectly clear that UFO studies are not part of the “legitimate” agenda for professional science. Scientists that stepped out of line could find themselves unable to secure grants thus ending their careers. This has now changed somewhat with the Galileo Project headed by Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb. It should be mentioned, however, that Dr. Loeb’s UAP detection project is reportedly supported in such a way so as not to take money from traditional scientific financial backers. Heavens forbid a UAP investigation might divert funding for “real science.”

In broadcast journalism in the past, talk show hosts that might inform the public in a detailed way about flying saucers could find themselves without corporate sponsors. We should not forget that major newspapers are controlled through their editorial boards that in turn are dependent on commercial advertising to continue publishing.

My notes describing this encounter were shared with other CE-5 contact teams. I reconstructed my conversations with co-worker “Misha” to give this narrative a sense of immediacy.  This story is not a work of fiction. 

I did fieldwork with “Misha” from 1993 to 1997. Based on my experiences with him and the founder of the Center for the Study of ET Intelligence (CSETI) Steven Greer MD, I formulated the category of “prime contactee.” These are contact experiencers who have some of the following characteristics:

1. They have frequent encounters with UFO intelligence, usually starting in childhood or adolescence.

2. As youths they may become skilled meditators, typically without any apparent adult encouragement or supervision.

3. “Primes” have strong psychic abilities that facilitate contact and communication with UAP intelligences. 

4. Most importantly they serve as a kind of human UFO magnet in that they can request UFO contacts with other witnesses are present. When subsequent sightings occur, these witnesses can verify the “prime’s special relationship with non-human intelligences associated UFOs.

 

 The term “prime contactee” describes experiencers who function in a similar fashion to individuals described as “psionic assets.” Psionic assets are psi capable operatives who allegedly are employed in UFO retrieval and reverse engineering programs because of their presumed ability to attract or “summon” UFOs. to them. 

 All the prime contactees that I became aware of during my field investigations were men, with possibly one exception. She was a volunteer contact worker originally from the UK. I did fieldwork with “Tracy Travis” in the summer of 1997. A link to that detailed report is posted below.  

Introduction:

During the last week of October 1993, I made plans to lead a team of UFO investigators into the high desert. After numerous phone calls I was still unable to get more than two other investigators to promise to accompany me. For 16 months I had been a Working Group Coordinator for CSETI’s CE-5 Initiative. My original team was beginning to show clear signs of fatigue. The group had carried out almost two-dozen research outings, many of which had documented the appearance of anomalous nocturnal lights. On rare occasions other teams in the CE-5 network even had sightings of structured craft that were definite unknowns. In another words, bona fide UFOs had appeared at our research sites.

ET “Party Monsters”: Prolonged Interactive Encounter in the

This in-depth report is based on my detailed CE-5 fieldnotes for an encounter in Joshua Tree on November 11, 1993.

On rare occasions other teams in the CE-5 network even had sightings of structured craft that were definite unknowns. In another words, bona fide UFOs had appeared at our research sites.

ET “Party Monsters”: Prolonged Interactive Encounter in the 

Queen Valley.  

This in-depth report is based on my detailed CE-5 fieldnotes for an encounter in Joshua Tree on November 11, 1993. A co-worker from our medical center and I interacted with two UFOs for over an hour and a half. My notes describing this encounter were shared with other CE-5 contact teams. I reconstructed my conversations with co-worker “Misha” to give this narrative a sense of immediacy.  This story is not a work of fiction. 

I did fieldwork with “Misha” from 1993 to 1997. Based on my experiences with him and the founder of the Center for the Study of ET Intelligence (CSETI) Steven Greer MD, I formulated the category of “prime contactee.” These are contact experiencers who have some of the following characteristics:

1. They have frequent encounters with UFO intelligence, usually starting in childhood or adolescence.
2. As youths they may become skilled meditators, typically without any apparent adult encouragement or supervision.
3. “Primes” have strong psychic abilities that facilitate contact and communication with UAP intelligences. 
4. Most importantly they serve as a kind of human UFO magnet in that they can request UFO contacts with other witnesses are present. When subsequent sightings occur, these witnesses can verify the “prime’s special relationship with non-human intelligences associated UFOs.

 

 The term “prime contactee” describes experiencers who function in a similar fashion to individuals described as “psionic assets.” Psionic assets are psi capable operatives who allegedly are employed in UFO retrieval and reverse engineering programs because of their resumed ability to attract or “summon” UFOs. to them. 

 All the prime contactees that I became aware of during my field investigations were men, with possibly one exception. She was a volunteer contact worker originally from the UK. I did fieldwork with “Tracy Travis” in the summer of 1997. A link to that detailed report is posted below.  

Introduction:

During the last week of October 1993, I made plans to lead a team of UFO investigators into the high desert. After numerous phone calls I was still unable to get more than two other investigators to promise to accompany me. For 16 months I had been a Working Group Coordinator for CSETI’s CE-5 Initiative. My original team was beginning to show clear signs of fatigue. The group had carried out almost two-dozen research outings, many of which had documented the appearance of anomalous nocturnal lights. On rare occasions other teams in the CE-5 network even had sightings of structured craft that were definite unknowns. In another words, bona fide UFOs had appeared at our research sites.

2.Surveillance/harassment of my volunteer effort 

3.The existence of a possible “ET Masterplan” for Earth Civilization

 4.Militarization of space in response to a possible “ET” presence.
On one social media page, I was asked about what races of ETs I might have had physical or mental connections with, also if I have ever had any interactions with MIBs. These questions give me a chance to review my contact activities over the years.
When it comes to meeting beings, there are no recollections of face-to-face encounters with them physically. However, during the five-year period of volunteering as a CE-5 coordinator back in the 1990s, I had dozens of sightings of UFOs. On two separate occasions I experienced what the CSETI Director called “telepathic overrides” during fieldwork with my Los Angeles based contact team. In each I received advance notification telling me when UFOs were going to show up later those nights. I also learned the number of craft that would be involved and their locations of their appearances in the sky. I immediately shared the info with my co-workers as suggested by the contact protocols. As "predicted" the UFOs subsequently showed up as I had been notified.
Along with these verifiable events I had many "contact downloads” during a two-year period 1993 to 1995. In a kind of stereotypic "awake dream state" I received much abstract information plus visual impressions. It was like watching a movie in your head. Most of narratives involved so-called "Grays" although a few “Nordics" appeared in one of these experiences. I look at these anomalous occurrences as a form of channeling. All those experiences while very Interesting to me personally were totally unverifiable except for the two "heads up" messages I describe above.
The themes of these mental encounters were basically instructional in nature. At the level of mind, I was allowed to view or actually "meet" specific "ETs" that lectured me about various contact themes such as, why they are here, and what are their capabilities. I also “downloaded” the typical contactee fare about an “ET master plan" that allegedly has been unfolding here on Earth for some time.
No MIB encounters but there was telephone harassment. Once it happened before going out into the field. The strange calls to my home lasted for about a week. The phone would ring, but nobody was on the line when my wife or I picked up. Every hour on the hour the phone rang during 9 to 5 business hours. I assume that whoever they were that they were sending a sort of message like, "We know who you are and what you are doing.” Then during the subsequent fieldwork investigation in Joshua Tree my team was photographed by what appeared to be military intelligence or private contractors.
In the summer of 1997, I received threatening phone calls from what appeared to be private contract agents. One was able to describe my CSETI activities in detail. This rude rather aggressive individual told me, "It would be better for you if you got out of CSETI."
Maybe I will put it all together in a book someday as I am retired from my medical career, till then I will post articles to my blog site at Wordpress.
Additional Questions and Answers
1.What about the “ET master plan” that you mentioned, and about the assumption that there are many different motivations for different ET groups?
Joseph Burkes‪: I assume no such thing. After resigning from CSETI in 1998, I took a critical look at the UFO subculture that I had been so active in. I read the works of John Keel and Dr Vallee. I concluded that the although the ET hypothesis might be true, the UFO phenomenon was far more complicated than the simplistic view describing "good or bad aliens" from different groups operating here on Earth.
This new perspective was not an easy thing for me accept. After all, I had contributed thousands of hours of volunteer work doing contact related activities. I imagined that we in the contact network were attempting to reach out to spiritually and technologically advanced ETs. While I was closely associated with Dr Greer, I raised money for CSETI, did media events but the best thing was that I got to be contact team leader. In that capacity I had an opportunity to be part of a collective of determined UFO investigators that were driven to engage the phenomenon with high ideals for what we hoped was peaceful communication leading to a more open and mutually beneficial relationship.
I suggest all UFO truth seekers get a hold of Colin Wilson's book "Alien Dawn" that provides an excellent summary of the theories of those two greats of UFO research, John Keel and Dr Vallee. Keel's work should be understood to be a product of a time 50 years ago when much important testimony confirming the probable ET nature of some UFO related phenomena had not been investigated yet. I am talking about the Roswell incident and the release of government documents in the 1970s and 1980s showing very forceful governments efforts maintaining a cover up.
As far as the so-called "master plan", I will continue to post blogs on this and related topics. I re-circulate some posts on a yearly basis.
2. What did you do when you received the threatening phone calls?
Joseph Burkes‪: Thanks for the question but the answer is not a pretty story, and it is difficult for me to share. The threat I received contributed to my resigning from CSETI under very unpleasant circumstances. I might work up the courage to share on social media my narrative that goes into the circumstances of my resignation from CSETI but I am tired of the ugly personal aspects of UFO politics. Sharing it, however, might be instructive for future generations of activists trying to avoid pitfalls of past organizing efforts. 
3. Another commenter expressed surprise about my having contact downloads with “Gray and Nordic” types. Also why did I refer to my contact downloads as being “totally unverifiable.”
Joseph Burkes: Sure, it was great to have "downloads." I wanted them to go on forever, but after a few months they just petered out. I suspect that I could have meditated upside down chanting to try and get them to come back, but it would be to no avail. My fellow CE-5 Working Group Coordinator Wayne Peterson who headed the Phoenix team summed my contact downloads in the following way. He said that the ETs gave you a course, something like “Channeling 101.” As if to say, “Joseph, you can do this.” Once the course was over there was no need to continue it.
I repeat only two contact downloads could be verified because they accurately predicted the subsequent appearance of UFOs that were multiply witnessed. The contact network has been instructed to work in groups, so my co-workers were able to verify the accuracy of the “heads up.” The detailed “awake dreams” that contained much abstract concepts as well as details about the alleged ET groups working here were like watching a sci-fi series with my mind’s eyes. They were very entertaining but  almost totally unverifiable. 

I should point out that when I use the term “Contact Underground” I am not just referring to CE-5ers, or what is left of the Peruvian Rama started in 1974 now called Rahma, but more importantly to the many, perhaps hundreds of contact workers that are “flying below the radar” as the result of their being deliberately warned not to associate with more public, less secretive groups.
I am hopeful that over generations, perhaps it will be centuries, we will establish on this planet of so much greed, cruelty and pain a new kind of just and peaceful civilization. I imagine that full contact can only be achieved in a world based on peace and social/environmental justice. At that moment in our civilization’s history, whatever are the origins of UFO intelligences, (ET? interdimensional? or their being time travelers?) perhaps then they might be willing to level with us as to who they truly are.
According to my analysis, with terrestrial elites opposing contact, to reveal publicly in detail the actual " master plan" (if such a thing exists) would be foolish. Only after a protracted period of social action and spiritual transformation will humanity be able to grasp and support any kind of “masterplan” for Earth civilization.
I say this because I believe that there are fanatical Christian fundamentalist religious trends that have decided that the so-called aliens are "demons" and we UFO activists and contact experiencers are “dancing with the devil.” If deranged people are willing to kill physicians that do safe legal abortions and the killers are applauded by some groups, might similarly motivated fundamentalists be convinced to kill those who are promoting contact?
We should not ignore the possibility that militarists some day in the future might use an “ET presence” to justify an accelerated buildup of space-based weapons. Currently this seems to be extremely unlikely as the US military budget keeps getting larger ever year by frightening the masses and politicians with conventional threats.
If mankind is properly prepared for full open peaceful contact with UFO associated non-human intelligences, then the risks of this issue being used by militarists will be minimized.
4. What is the content of your “contact downloads?”
Joseph Burkes: I have about 40 pages of material about what those downloads contained. I must admit that have doubts concerning their value. I believe that like most channeled material “downloads” are a co-creation of human (that's me I hope, just kidding) and non-human intelligences (the so-called ETs.) I think of this kind of material as “fairy tales for adults.” They reveal more about how UFO Intel can read our consciousness and co-create with us an emotionally compelling narratives than it says anything accurate about who they are or where they come from.
When I say "emotionally compelling" I mean that I could not speak about one of those downloads in public for 15 years because I would start crying. So, the alleged ETs can really push our emotional buttons.
Does my weeping make any of what I experienced more "real?" No, it doesn't. My behavior is reminiscent of those so-called abduction victims that shed tears during hypnotic sessions. The expression of powerful emotion doesn't prove that “abductees” physically went on board spacecraft, but it gives dramatic testimony to how increasing numbers of individuals are being powerfully affected by the phenomenon.
In my opinion, mankind is dealing with an array of incredibly sophisticated paranormal intelligences that probably has been creating belief systems here on Earth for a long time.
5.Do any of our interactions provide trustworthy information about where UFO Intelligence comes from?
Joseph Burkes: Probably not.
Unfortunately, most people when confronted with UFOs or any other potentially threatened subject, they usually end up creating an emotionally satisfying belief system and to hell with any evidence that doesn't support their beloved pet theories.
This was one of the stated reasons why Dr Vallee reportedly stopped interacting with popular UFO groups over 25 years ago. He found ufology to be a shouting arena in which people mostly argued about their belief systems. This made rational discussion of the issues nearly impossible and the possibility of doing scientific research with such groups nil.

Contact Network History Project: Questions and Answers:

I have reposted a Q&A exchange from a decade ago that still may have relevance. Topics covered include: 1.telepathic overrides alerting me to the programmed appearance of UFOs at our research sites.

2.Surveillance/harassment of my volunteer effort 

3.The existence of a possible “ET Masterplan” for Earth Civilization

 4.Militarization of space in response to a possible “ET” presence.
On one social media page, I was asked about what races of ETs I might have had physical or mental connections with, also if I have ever had any interactions with MIBs. These questions give me a chance to review my contact activities over the years.
When it comes to meeting beings, there are no recollections of face-to-face encounters with them physically. However, during the five-year period of volunteering as a CE-5 coordinator back in the 1990s, I had dozens of sightings of UFOs. On two separate occasions I experienced what the CSETI Director called “telepathic overrides” during fieldwork with my Los Angeles based contact team. In each I received advance notification telling me when UFOs were going to show up later those nights. I also learned the number of craft that would be involved and their locations of their appearances in the sky. I immediately shared the info with my co-workers as suggested by the contact protocols. As "predicted" the UFOs subsequently showed up as I had been notified.
Along with these verifiable events I had many "contact downloads” during a two-year period 1993 to 1995. In a kind of stereotypic "awake dream state" I received much abstract information plus visual impressions. It was like watching a movie in your head. Most of narratives involved so-called "Grays" although a few “Nordics" appeared in one of these experiences. I look at these anomalous occurrences as a form of channeling. All those experiences while very Interesting to me personally were totally unverifiable except for the two "heads up" messages I describe above.
The themes of these mental encounters were basically instructional in nature. At the level of mind, I was allowed to view or actually "meet" specific "ETs" that lectured me about various contact themes such as, why they are here, and what are their capabilities. I also “downloaded” the typical contactee fare about an “ET master plan" that allegedly has been unfolding here on Earth for some time.
No MIB encounters but there was telephone harassment. Once it happened before going out into the field. The strange calls to my home lasted for about a week. The phone would ring, but nobody was on the line when my wife or I picked up. Every hour on the hour the phone rang during 9 to 5 business hours. I assume that whoever they were that they were sending a sort of message like, "We know who you are and what you are doing.” Then during the subsequent fieldwork investigation in Joshua Tree my team was photographed by what appeared to be military intelligence or private contractors.
In the summer of 1997, I received threatening phone calls from what appeared to be private contract agents. One was able to describe my CSETI activities in detail. This rude rather aggressive individual told me, "It would be better for you if you got out of CSETI."
Maybe I will put it all together in a book someday as I am retired from my medical career, till then I will post articles to my blog site at Wordpress.
Additional Questions and Answers
1.What about the “ET master plan” that you mentioned, and about the assumption that there are many different motivations for different ET groups?
Joseph Burkes‪: I assume no such thing. After resigning from CSETI in 1998, I took a critical look at the UFO subculture that I had been so active in. I read the works of John Keel and Dr Vallee. I concluded that the although the ET hypothesis might be true, the UFO phenomenon was far more complicated than the simplistic view describing "good or bad aliens" from different groups operating here on Earth.
This new perspective was not an easy thing for me accept. After all, I had contributed thousands of hours of volunteer work doing contact related activities. I imagined that we in the contact network were attempting to reach out to spiritually and technologically advanced ETs. While I was closely associated with Dr Greer, I raised money for CSETI, did media events but the best thing was that I got to be contact team leader. In that capacity I had an opportunity to be part of a collective of determined UFO investigators that were driven to engage the phenomenon with high ideals for what we hoped was peaceful communication leading to a more open and mutually beneficial relationship.
I suggest all UFO truth seekers get a hold of Colin Wilson's book "Alien Dawn" that provides an excellent summary of the theories of those two greats of UFO research, John Keel and Dr Vallee. Keel's work should be understood to be a product of a time 50 years ago when much important testimony confirming the probable ET nature of some UFO related phenomena had not been investigated yet. I am talking about the Roswell incident and the release of government documents in the 1970s and 1980s showing very forceful governments efforts maintaining a cover up.
As far as the so-called "master plan", I will continue to post blogs on this and related topics. I re-circulate some posts on a yearly basis.
2. What did you do when you received the threatening phone calls?
Joseph Burkes‪: Thanks for the question but the answer is not a pretty story, and it is difficult for me to share. The threat I received contributed to my resigning from CSETI under very unpleasant circumstances. I might work up the courage to share on social media my narrative that goes into the circumstances of my resignation from CSETI but I am tired of the ugly personal aspects of UFO politics. Sharing it, however, might be instructive for future generations of activists trying to avoid pitfalls of past organizing efforts. 
3. Another commenter expressed surprise about my having contact downloads with “Gray and Nordic” types. Also why did I refer to my contact downloads as being “totally unverifiable.”
Joseph Burkes: Sure, it was great to have "downloads." I wanted them to go on forever, but after a few months they just petered out. I suspect that I could have meditated upside down chanting to try and get them to come back, but it would be to no avail. My fellow CE-5 Working Group Coordinator Wayne Peterson who headed the Phoenix team summed my contact downloads in the following way. He said that the ETs gave you a course, something like “Channeling 101.” As if to say, “Joseph, you can do this.” Once the course was over there was no need to continue it.
I repeat only two contact downloads could be verified because they accurately predicted the subsequent appearance of UFOs that were multiply witnessed. The contact network has been instructed to work in groups, so my co-workers were able to verify the accuracy of the “heads up.” The detailed “awake dreams” that contained much abstract concepts as well as details about the alleged ET groups working here were like watching a sci-fi series with my mind’s eyes. They were very entertaining but  almost totally unverifiable. 

I should point out that when I use the term “Contact Underground” I am not just referring to CE-5ers, or what is left of the Peruvian Rama started in 1974 now called Rahma, but more importantly to the many, perhaps hundreds of contact workers that are “flying below the radar” as the result of their being deliberately warned not to associate with more public, less secretive groups.
I am hopeful that over generations, perhaps it will be centuries, we will establish on this planet of so much greed, cruelty and pain a new kind of just and peaceful civilization. I imagine that full contact can only be achieved in a world based on peace and social/environmental justice. At that moment in our civilization’s history, whatever are the origins of UFO intelligences, (ET? interdimensional? or their being time travelers?) perhaps then they might be willing to level with us as to who they truly are.
According to my analysis, with terrestrial elites opposing contact, to reveal publicly in detail the actual " master plan" (if such a thing exists) would be foolish. Only after a protracted period of social action and spiritual transformation will humanity be able to grasp and support any kind of “masterplan” for Earth civilization.
I say this because I believe that there are fanatical Christian fundamentalist religious trends that have decided that the so-called aliens are "demons" and we UFO activists and contact experiencers are “dancing with the devil.” If deranged people are willing to kill physicians that do safe legal abortions and the killers are applauded by some groups, might similarly motivated fundamentalists be convinced to kill those who are promoting contact?
We should not ignore the possibility that militarists some day in the future might use an “ET presence” to justify an accelerated buildup of space-based weapons. Currently this seems to be extremely unlikely as the US military budget keeps getting larger ever year by frightening the masses and politicians with conventional threats.
If mankind is properly prepared for full open peaceful contact with UFO associated non-human intelligences, then the risks of this issue being used by militarists will be minimized.
4. What is the content of your “contact downloads?”
Joseph Burkes: I have about 40 pages of material about what those downloads contained. I must admit that have doubts concerning their value. I believe that like most channeled material “downloads” are a co-creation of human (that's me I hope, just kidding) and non-human intelligences (the so-called ETs.) I think of this kind of material as “fairy tales for adults.” They reveal more about how UFO Intel can read our consciousness and co-create with us an emotionally compelling narratives than it says anything accurate about who they are or where they come from.
When I say "emotionally compelling" I mean that I could not speak about one of those downloads in public for 15 years because I would start crying. So, the alleged ETs can really push our emotional buttons.
Does my weeping make any of what I experienced more "real?" No, it doesn't. My behavior is reminiscent of those so-called abduction victims that shed tears during hypnotic sessions. The expression of powerful emotion doesn't prove that “abductees” physically went on board spacecraft, but it gives dramatic testimony to how increasing numbers of individuals are being powerfully affected by the phenomenon.
In my opinion, mankind is dealing with an array of incredibly sophisticated paranormal intelligences that probably has been creating belief systems here on Earth for a long time.
5.Do any of our interactions provide trustworthy information about where UFO Intelligence comes from?
Joseph Burkes: Probably not.
Unfortunately, most people when confronted with UFOs or any other potentially threatened subject, they usually end up creating an emotionally satisfying belief system and to hell with any evidence that doesn't support their beloved pet theories.

Contact Network History Project: Questions and Answers

In 2015 I posted a Q&A blog about my many years of contact work/activism. In this edited blog, a range of topics are covered. These include:

1.telepathic overrides alerting me to the staged appearance
of UFOs at our research sites
2.Surveillance/harassment of my volunteer efforts
3.The existence of a possible “ET Masterplan” for Earth
Civilization
4.Militarization of space in response to a possible “ET”
presence.

SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF MY CONTACT WORK.

On another social media page, I was asked about what races of
ETs I might have had physical or mental connections with, also if I have ever
had any interactions with MIBs. These questions give me a chance to review my
contact activities over the years.

When it comes to meeting beings, there are no recollections
of face-to-face encounters with them physically. However, during the five year
period of volunteering as a CE-5 coordinator back in the 1990s, I had dozens of
sightings of UFOs. On two separate occasions I experienced what the CSETI
Director called “telepathic overrides” during fieldwork with my Los Angeles
based contact team. In each I received advance notification telling me when
UFOs were going to show up later those nights. I also learned the number of
craft that would be involved and their locations of their appearances in the
sky. I immediately shared the info with my co-workers as suggested by the
contact protocols. As "predicted" the UFOs subsequently showed up as
I had been notified.

‪Along with these verifiable events I had many "contact
downloads” during a two-year period 1993 to 1995. In a kind of stereotypic
"awake dream state" I received much abstract information plus visual
narratives. It was like watching a movie in your head. Most of narratives
involved so-called "Grays" although a few “Nordics" appeared in
one of these experiences. I look at these anomalous occurrences as a form of

‪The themes of these mental encounters were basically
instructional in nature. At the level of mind, I was allowed to view or
actually "meet" specific "ETs" that lectured me about
various contact themes such as, why they are here, and what are their
capabilities. I also “downloaded” the typical contactee fare about an “ET
master plan" that allegedly has been unfolding here on Earth for some time.

‪No MIB encounters but there was telephone harassment. Once
it happened before going out into the field. The strange calls to my home
lasted for about a week. The phone would ring, but nobody was on the line when

Case Study# 5**: Alberto Fernandez Part 1, Healing of Traumatic Avulsion of Right Eye (Interview by Joseph Burkes MD)** 

Mr. Alberto Fernandez is a retired Federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent and his wife, Rebeca Fernandez, is a Ph.D. psychologist.  Both have a history of seeing UAPs up close and close contact experiences with non-human intelligence.  Alberto was born in 1945 in Santiago, Cuba. Orphaned soon after birth, he was raised by his maternal grand aunt. They lived in the Sierra Maestra Mountains of eastern Cuba. There he had what he described as his first paranormal experience. It reportedly happened when he was about three years old. He recalled seeing a man sitting on his bed wearing a white robe. This stranger was filled with light. The being watched as Alberto played and tenderly patted him on the head. Years later after seeing a painting of Jesus, he thought that this was the man that had seen sitting on his bed. Alberto wrote, “I felt a deep connection with him.”

Strange encounters continued during his childhood. Mr. Fernandez described another experience as follows. *“*One evening, when I was six years old, I was in my bedroom by myself when suddenly the lights went off. It was pitch black. Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of me out of nowhere. This light had an ignited heart within it. The light was hovering approximately a foot from my chest. This ignited red heart slowly got closer and closer to my chest, when [it] entered my chest, I started to convulse. Sometime later, I saw a drawing of Jesus depicting the ignition inside of the sacred heart of Jesus Christ. This intense image gave me a ‘déjà vu’ of the experience I had as a child. I have not witnessed anything like that again in my life.” 

At age fourteen he had a near-death experience while swimming alone at a Havana Beach. He was caught in a strong rip current and could not make it back to shore. He became totally exhausted. “I just gave up. I was drowning, I would see myself going down under the water. Flashes of my entire life went through my mind, thoughts of my deceased mother Lydia and of God. I knew this was the end of my life. I remember I said, ‘Mother! God! Help me!’ Suddenly, almost in a flash, I felt a tremendous force, like an immense energy, that pulled me out of the depths and gently placed me on the concrete sidewalk across the street from the pier. I did not have a scratch, nor did I even cough up any water! I was in such a state of shock.  I was soaking wet with water. I stood up immediately and walked home. I did not tell anyone about this incident.”

In 1961 at age sixteen, Fernandez left communist Cuba for the USA as a part of Operation Peter Pan **in which thousands of children were flown to the States without their families.**^(7) At that time many Cubans were frightened by rumors that the Castro regime might take custody of their children and send them to the former Soviet Union. At age eighteen, Mr. Fernandez joined the U.S. Army in a program to train young Cuban men to combat the Castro dictatorship. The operation however was discontinued following the President Kennedy assassination. Several years after completing his military service Fernandez joined the Metro-Dade Police Department. 

His first UAP sighting was in 1973. One night at 11:30 p.m., Officer Fernandez had just come off a shift and was standing in front of his home. Suddenly a bright beam of light flashed down from the sky. He looked up and at first, he thought he was seeing a helicopter, but it didn’t have the typical roar of a chopper. The object hovered directly above his house, clearing the roof by only five feet. It was forty feet wide, shaped like a hamburger and had a bright blue light that rotated counterclockwise. A yellow light shined through the windows. Alberto Fernandez stated, “This phenomenon tampered with my brain. I wasn’t the same individual after this encounter.”

A few days later Mr. Fernandez experienced a frightful encounter in which he felt the presence of a non-human intelligence in his bedroom. He then became completely paralyzed. For the next 10 years he was plagued by recurrent terrifying contact experiences that occurred two to three times per month. “I would wake up in the middle of the night sensing the presence of an entity in my bedroom. This energy would start paralyzing me from my feet to my head. This unknown energy possessed my body and my mind. I had no control over it. I was in terror every night because I couldn’t scream….” It is difficult for Alberto to estimate how long these agonizing experiences typically lasted. His guess was that they went on for less than one minute, but he is not certain. Each time as they ended, he described feeling totally drained as if he had engaged in prolonged sexual activity. And then he would lose consciousness and awake the next morning feeling exhausted.

After working five years for the Metro-Dade Police Department in 1975 Officer Fernandez changed jobs and joined the Drug Enforcement Administration. He was trained to be a Special Agent and worked first in Miami and then in Puerto Rico. In 1984 he was given diplomatic status as a DEA officer attached to the U.S. Embassy in the Dominican Republic. Injured on the job he returned to Miami and was given temporary housing in the penthouse of Hotel Sofitel. There he had a Close Encounter of the Third Kind in which he was given an explanation as to why he had been subjected to 10 years of recurrent visitations. 

“One evening (approximately 11:00 p.m.) the fire alarm of the hotel went off. At first, many hotel guests came out of their rooms. The management explained it was a false alarm, when we returned to our room my beeper started to shake and randomly vibrate; the electricity flickered on and off and the super thick, glass windows started to shake intensely as if they were made from plastic. This all happened while I was laying on the bed wide awake with my wife (my one-year-old infant daughter slept quietly in the crib while all this was happening.) Suddenly, an unknown creature appeared floating in front of my bed. (My wife was apparently hypnotized and fell asleep suddenly without witnessing my encounter. I saw a solid, three-dimensional, grey, dolphin-skinned creature approximately three feet tall with a big head, no hair, huge black eyes, (no pupils no sclera), tiny black nose and mouth, no ears, a long neck, long skinny arms to her side, long hands and fingers and nails, her facial expression was flat, no emotions. I was not scared but calm. This unknown creature talked to me telepathically telling me it was a female. She proceeded to explain that they have been collecting semen from me for years to help them in the procreation of their dying race and that my helping mission was completed with them. (In fact, she kept her promise, and I was never bothered again.)”

Mr. Fernandez stated that prior to this dramatic event he had little interest in the subject of extraterrestrials. He considered his one flying saucer sighting and the earlier bizarre encounters as simply “paranormal” events of his youth. After his encounter with the female alien being, however, he became very interested in the subject of flying saucers. He joined in the activities of the Peruvian contact network known now as Rahma. He became friends with Sixto Paz Wells, one of the founders of that group. On three occasions, he travelled to the Peruvian desert to participate in fieldwork with Rahma. In one incident at a remote location called Chilca, he, his wife, and the other witnesses saw up close UAP crafts, and Alberto reportedly entered a dimensional portal that the Peruvians call a “Xendra.” After retiring from the DEA, he has publicly spoken about his contact experiences.

In 2001, he experienced a serious traumatic injury and reportedly had a subsequent healing encounter. A heavy-set elderly woman fainted while standing next to him. He caught her in his arms but was unable to sustain their combined weight. Together they fell. While still holding on to her he smashed the right side of his face against the edge of a chair. His right eye was severely damaged. Prior to this injury his visual acuity was reportedly “20/20” following prior corrective Lasik surgery. In the ER, X-rays showed multiple fractures to the right eye orbit (socket) and right maxilla (cheek bone). The soft tissue swelling around the right eye was so great that the eyelids could not be opened to allow for an eye exam. He was advised to see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible. This was not done. 

According to Alberto and his wife, an expensive multi-week ocean cruise had been purchased for them and several other members of his family. They were scheduled to leave the day after his injury. Mrs. Fernandez advised her husband that they should stay in Miami so that he could get continued treatment for his injuries. He stubbornly insisted however that they go on the cruise. Three days into the voyage, the ship’s doctor examined him. Mrs. Fernandez stated that the injuries were deemed so severe that this physician wanted to order an emergency helicopter evacuation to the mainland. Her husband refused to have this done. Once the swelling was reduced and he could open his right eye, the vision in this eye was extremely impaired. He could not read and only recognized the blurred shapes of objects. 

Three weeks after the injury he was finally seen by Dr. Kurstein, a Miami ophthalmologist eye doctor. Alberto stated that he was told that the cornea had been torn off the surface of his right eye and that it was “very dry.” Mrs. Fernandez stated that the cornea looked like a piece of dry cardboard. (The cornea is a tough transparent protective membrane on the surface of the eye that requires moisture to function properly. The absence of sufficient moisture for several weeks would definitely impede the healing process.) The eye doctor reportedly used tweezers to drag the torn cornea onto the surface of his right eye. He advised Mr. Fernandez and his wife that the patient would likely have some permanent loss of vision in that eye. It was probable that he would develop glaucoma as well. Close medical follow-up with the doctor was advised. This did not occur. Instead, five or six nights later Mr. Fernandez had another contact encounter. 

He awoke in bed and sensed an alien presence. During many previous visitations he experienced extreme panic attacks when he was rendered paralyzed by a non-human intelligence. In contrast, this time he was extremely calm and cooperative. He voluntarily kept his left eye closed. A very bright green light shined into his right eye that Fernandez believes was a laser surgical instrument. With machine like precision the brilliant light flashed striking his injured cornea. There was no pain associated with the procedure. The bursts of green light were rapid, several per second, and in retrospect he realized that they were suturing the torn cornea to his injured right eye. The Fernandezes stated that the next morning to their amazement he was able to see perfectly with his right eye. He never followed up with Dr. Kurstein, but several months later visited an associate physician, Dr. Companioni, examined Mr. Fernandez. According to him, this physician was shocked to find that Alberto’s eye was perfectly normal. Mr. Fernandez and his wife stated that he never developed glaucoma.

Case Study 6: Alberto Fernandez Part 2, Healing of Large Right Lung Mass deemed likely to be malignant (Interview by Joseph Burkes MD) 

According to the Fernandezes, in 2005 another high strangeness event occurred when he visited a prominent Miami physician, Dr. Ralph G. Nader. Mr. Fernandez has a history of prostate cancer and a routine follow-up chest X-ray was done at this appointment. After looking at the films his doctor notified Mr. Fernandez that he had some very bad news. The X-ray showed a baseball-sized mass in his right lung that was very likely cancer. According to Mr. Fernandez his physician insisted that he be immediately admitted to Mount Sinai Medical Center for evaluation and treatment. He was told not to go home and that his wife should meet him at a lung specialist’s office that Dr. Nader was referring Alberto to. The pulmonologist ordered another chest X-ray. 

Mrs. Fernandez accompanied her husband into the X-ray department. There a curtain separated her from him as she waited a short distance away for the technician to do the repeat study. Alberto stated that suddenly his entire body started vibrating. He said that he was shaking as if he had severe chills. There was no loss of consciousness. He denied being in pain. According to his wife he started shouting to her repeatedly in Spanish “Ellos están aqui!”  “They are here! They are here!” and then, “They cured me!” Mrs. Fernandez stated that as she rushed towards her husband, she noticed that the curtain was moving in a most bizarre manner. A rhythmic, orderly, perfect sine-wave pattern moved across its surface as if her husband located behind the curtain had been enveloped in some kind of energy field. The patient stated that although he remembered his violent shaking, he did not recall crying out to his wife. Mrs. Fernandez reported that she observed the shaking of his body. The entire episode lasted less than a minute. The test was then done, and they brought the X-rays to the pulmonologist for review. When the specialist looked at the films, he became angry saying that the X-rays were “perfectly normal” and that he could not understand why the patient had been sent to his office to “waste his time.” Dr. Nader was reportedly shocked when he found out that the repeat chest X-ray showed no evidence of the right lung mass. 

Commentary: 

Joseph Burkes MD: The question arises is there a connection between where a healing takes place and the type of illness that is addressed by non-human intelligences. In Mr. Fernandez’ traumatic eye injury, only one body part was treated, and the healing reportedly took place in his bedroom. It is important to note that the doctor told him some permanent impairment of his vision was likely. Nevertheless, the next morning his vision was reportedly perfectly normal. In addition, he never developed post traumatic glaucoma that is often seen in such cases. Obviously, the current level of medical science has no explanation for how these amazing cures are accomplished so quickly. Under ordinary circumstances a minimum of several weeks should be required for healing. Yet the Fernandezes reported that he was fully recovered the morning after his encounter with a green laser. 

The lung mass seen in the X-ray ordered by Dr. Nader was described as being approximately the size of baseball (about 3 inches in diameter). Lung nodules are abnormalities in chest films of three centimeters in size (about 1.2 inches) or less and are far less likely to be malignant than lung masses which are defined as being larger than three centimeters across. In general, the larger the abnormality is, the more likely it will be malignant. Although bacterial and fungal infections can cause lung masses, patients with these illnesses are usually symptomatic at time of diagnosis, especially if on X-ray the abnormality is the size of a baseball. Mr. Fernandez did not have symptoms indicating infection. There was no history of fevers or coughing up phlegm or blood and the high probability that he had cancer prompted his physician to order an immediate work up. Whether this large mass was caused by cancer or infection, its rapid disappearance is truly astonishing. For discussion purposes, I feel obliged to make some radical speculations in an attempt to understand what might be the technological challenges involved in such amazing cures. From these bizarre cases, it appears that non-human intelligence has a technology that carries out extensive tissue repairs very rapidly. One can posit that the same rules of time and space in our plane of existence might not apply to non-human intelligence. This is the opinion of the prominent scientist and contact researcher Dr. Jacques Vallee who has observed that the intelligence behind the phenomenon doesn’t behave like visitors from other planets, but rather more like visitors from another dimension.^(8)

Perhaps contact experiencers are engulfed in some kind field, or they are taken to a place, where time elapses far more rapidly than in our dimensional plane. Once the prolonged treatment is completed then the experiencer is returned to our dimensional plane where presumably time passes more slowly. This mechanism might explain how Alberto’s lung mass apparently was cured instantaneously while in the X-ray suite. This speculative theme will be further discussed in the concluding remarks of this article.  

Preston Dennett: Fernandez’s case of an eye-healing provides an extraordinary example of medical healing from non-human intelligence. Both the injury of the eye, and its repair were verified by the witness and his wife, and by an amazed doctor. Fernandez with his career in military and law enforcement is an outstanding witness. The description given by Fernandez of his eye healing is reminiscent of other cases. The use of lasers-like lights seems to be pretty much standard in healing cases. Interestingly, today we can cure detached retina with laser therapy. Fernandez’s healing shows that the ETs and humans are using similar methods.

Fernandez, like many other UAP related contact experiencers, reports having multiple healing events. His second healing event occurred in a hospital-room. While this may sound unusual, my own research found that nine percent of known CE healing cases took place in hospital rooms. Again, the healing was verified not only by his wife, a Ph.D. Psychologist, but by X-rays, leaving an upset and confused doctor. In most cases, witnesses do not tell their doctors about their encounters. The extraordinary sine-wave pattern witnessed by Mrs. Fernandez is compelling. Could it be that some strange beam of energy was causing this pattern? In any event, it appears that Mrs. Fernandez witnessed the healing take place, or very nearly so.

The question remains, why was Fernandez healed? It appears that his cooperation with the ETs in their alleged attempts to replenish the genetics of their race may be a factor. It’s a simple conclusion that the ETs are particularly interested in healing people who are important to them. While not always the case, NHI medical healing events are far more common among those who exhibit a lifelong history of extensive contact. Here-in may lie the answer as to who is healed and why. It is interesting to note that Alberto and his wife Rebeca have visited with contactee, Sixto Paz Wells, on multiple occasions and have had many up close UAP contact sightings and contact with NHI during these trips to Peru and Chile. Fernandez describes entering a “Xendra,” or energetic portal. There is another account of a CE healing which comes from a gentleman who received a healing to his swollen legs after visiting with Wells and going through a “Xendra” experience.^(9)

The first was repair of his cornea that had been torn off from a fall. The second case was the healing of a large chest mass that almost certainly was malignant. Remarkably this healing reportedly occurred while in the X-ray suite of a Miami Hospital.
