I was a CE-5 Working Group Coordinator in Los Angeles from 1992 till 1998. Three decades ago I set out on a path to try to understand what I had experienced during the exciting tumultuous early days of the CE-5 Initiative. I read books by John Keel, Dr. Jacques Vallee and Dr. Andrija Puharich who had worked with Uri Geller in the 1970s. I developed what I considered a radical new paradigm for understanding the mechanisms of contact. It is called the Virtual Experience Model (VEM). According to this schema UFO Intelligences can employ their amazing psi prowess to:
1.create illusory visual displays, Virtual Experience of the First Kind (VE-1)
2.co-create with human subjects virtual reality encounters a la the movie “The Matrix” (VE-2).
3. implant false memories (VE-3). These are manufactured memories that are recalled as Close Encounters but do not reflect actual previous physical events. Thus, I call them “Virtual Memories.”
In a beautifully nuanced blog linked below, William Henry reviews the major themes of the film Blade Runner (1982). This movie had a profound influence on me and helped me conceptualize the VE-3 modality, Virtual Experiences of the Third Kind, i.e., Virtual Memory. William Henry describes a central theme of the film.
“The replicants believe themselves to be human. They have memories to prove it. In reality, they have implanted memories of real people. The “false memories” were implanted in the replicants to provide an “emotional cushion.”
Alien abduction theorists have proposed that UAP intelligences can create false memories to block recall of alien encounters that they propose are strictly physical events. These are referred to as “screen memories.” If the alleged ETs can create such false recollections, it is reasonable to ask whether the entire memory of “being taken” might also be false? Such an awesome capability if operational would put much of the alien abduction “data base” into question.
Virtual Experiences of the Third Kind (VE-3) as an psi induced illusory mechanism of contact also explains the paucity of physical evidence for Close Encounters of Third and Fourth Kinds. Alien abduction theorists point to scoop marks and other types of skin lesions as proof that people are being physically removed during alleged abductions. Another explanation however is possible. If the non-human intelligences are not ET but interdimensional, perhaps while targeted humans are rendered unconscious, small interdimensional probes enter our plane of existence. Such devices could have several functions, one being energetically implanting false memories of physical encounters. Another function might be to produce scoop marks or bruises as props convincing the targeted humans that their encounters were strictly physical events rather than primarily psychic ones.
In terms of Virtual Memory, I know, of just two clear cut cases that clearly support this third part of the Virtual Experience Model. Such a proposed illusory mechanism of contact has tremendous implications for the entire UFO research and experiencer communities. I urge all contact experiencers and investigators to consider this illusory mechanism when evaluating contact events.

VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE MODEL
Two Cases Supporting the VE-2 Category “Matrix reality”

A Virtual Experience of the Third Kind, (VE-3) aka “Virtual Memory” is perhaps the most controversial category of the Virtual Experience Model. Perhaps UAP non-human intelligence can do more than create false memories called “screen memories.” What if all many recollections of contact events are the result of technologically induced false memories.
Statement by Bigelow Aerospace Validates the Virtual Experience Model
A Statement by Bigelow Aerospace in 2018 “multiple eyewitnesses co-located in the same vicinity frequently reported seeing widely different events.” Joseph Burkes MD 2021 Introduction During the 1990s, I was a contact team coordinator for the CE-5 Initiative. In the course of that volunteer work, my team had numerous sightings of what are now called Unidentified … Continue reading Statement by Bigelow Aerospace Validates the Virtual Experience Model
