NOTES FROM THE CONTACT UNDERGROUND
Contactees report having recurrent dreams sometimes called the “night of lights” in which the nighttime sky is full of flying saucers. It is a wish dream that I must admit I have fancied as well. In my opinion however, this will not likely take place anytime in the conceivable future. This is because such an awesome event in my judgment would probably trigger a terribly violent human response. I suggest something very different might happen if current trends continue.
Thirty-eight years ago, I met Dr. John Mack in Moscow at a physicians’ peace conference. It was 1985, the year that our “International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War” won the Nobel Prize for educating government leaders and the public about the dangers of nuclear arms race. Later John Mack MD went on to write the important book “Abduction.” There he describes the strange way in which some contact experiencers called “abductees” suddenly recall having encounters with aliens that they believe happened decades before.
This kind of sudden “remembering”, initially happening on a small scale is less threatening than a “night of lights” with our skies full of “craft.” I believe this is especially so for those clandestine elite groups that I imagine it is their job to keep a lid on the flying saucer situation. These groups appear to be quasi-governmental/quasi-corporate entities. In my opinion, they are likely responsible for what has been called the “UFO Truth Embargo.” Such elite factions operating in secrecy are sometimes referred to as the “control groups.”
THE MENTAL LINK
Psychological and parapsychological factors play important roles in the UFO contact drama unfolding all around us. Unfortunately, many so-called “mainstream” ufologists fail to grasp that a consciousness connection is the key to understanding the human-UFO intelligence relationship. Groups like the Mutual UFO Network approach flying saucers mainly as if they were an engineering problem. The focus is on the shape of the craft, its flight characteristics, the color of the lights and other physical parameters. After over 50 of collecting reports filled with such details, not much has been learned about the intelligences responsible for flying saucers.
In my opinion, although MUFON is still a popular organization with thousands of members, its approach to the UFO challenge is both uninformed and unenlightened. Mainstream ufology with its emphasis on sighting reports stands in marked contrast to the work of the network of contact activists that I like to call the “Contact Underground.” This international endeavor involves volunteer contact workers staging Human Initiated Contact Events (HICE) during field investigations. Such efforts are popularly known as CE-5s. I have been involved with this kind of outreach since 1992. Contact activists view the mental aspects of the phenomenon as crucial for deciphering the mystery of flying saucers.
SIGHTINGS ARE NOT RANDOM EVENTS
After years of study and numerous sightings of UFOs during HICE, I now believe that there is no such thing as a random sighting. I am suggesting that every true sighting of a UFO, with few exceptions, occurs while there is a telepathic link between the witnesses and the non-human intelligence responsible for the phenomenon. Thus sightings should be viewed as staged events in which individuals and groups are specifically targeted to have an encounter.
If this is true, then the implications of this proposition are staggering. It is estimated that between one and ten percent of the world’s population has had a bona fide UFO sighing. On a planetary basis, this translates into perhaps hundreds of millions of people. If the consciousness connection is as widespread and robust as I suggest it is, then each of those hundreds of millions of individuals might at some time in the future start to remember what they believe are past encounters in the same ways that Dr. Mack’s witnesses did.
A COLD WAR WITH UFOs
A hidden aspect of the human UFO relationship has been a kind of clandestine cold war between flying saucers and terrestrial military forces. Given the extraordinary secrecy surrounding this issue, it is understandable that the few reports we read about military encounters with flying saucers are probably the tip of the iceberg. In other words there have been many hostile engagements.
In my judgment, there have been losses of personnel and material on both sides. This is a rather dispassionate way of stating that humans and what we call “ETs” are being killed during armed conflict.
Given such a sorry state of affairs, “the night of lights” in which the sky is full of saucers would understandably be perceived of as an “invasion.” A less dangerous plan to help humanity grasp that we are not alone in the universe might involve having increasing numbers of people gradually recalling encounters that they believe are contact events from the distant past.
For those of us that want a peaceful outcome for the challenge of flying saucers, this “remembering” of what may have been prior encounters would probably be much safer for both any extraterrestrials flying around Earth and those that might be tempted to try to shoot them down.
About the author: Dr. Burkes volunteered as a Working Group Coordinator for the CE-5 Initiative from 1992 till 1998. He has continued to study the flying saucer phenomenon working with the Foundation for Research into ET and Extraordinary Experiences (FREE), The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) and the Peruvian contact network now called Rahma. Joseph Burkes MD is co-author of the book “Paths to Contact” edited by Jeff Becker. He also has co-authored a chapter on UAP associated medical healings with researcher Preston Dennett in the FREE compendium “Beyond UFOs.” The newly formed Consciousness and Contact Research Institute has published an anthology called “A Greater Reality” in which Dr. Burkes has written a chapter titled “Report from the Contact Underground: Human Initiated Contact, the Consciousness Connection and the Virtual Experience Model.” He retired from the Southern California Pemanente Group after thirty-years-service in 2008 and is a board-certified internal medicine physician licensed to practice in California.
