The multivolume compendium “A Greater Reality”, Rey Hernandez editor, Volumes 1 & 2 are now available for free on the Consciousness and Contact Research Institute’s web site. Here is a portion of my article, “Report from the Contact Underground: Human Initiated Contact, the Consciousness Connection…” In this excerpt from Volume 2 Section II, I discuss the remarkable findings of the FREE survey. Most telepathic communication as was in my contact experiences occur when non-human beings are not present.
“In terms of telepathic communications with the non-human intelligences (NHIs) associated with UAPs, witnesses describing Close Encounters of the Third and Fourth Kinds have reported such mental interactions for forty years.23 In Dr. J. Allen Hynek and Philip Imbrogno’s Night Siege, several cases of apparent mental communication between UAP percipients and anomalous craft are described. These occurred during a wave of sightings involving large boomerang shaped UFOs in the Hudson River Valley during the 1980s.24
One case involved Mr. Edwin Hansen. He reportedly saw a flying boomerang shaped object while driving home on New Year’s Eve, 1982. He slowed his car and stated, “I thought to myself, ‘I wish it would come closer so that I can get a better look at it’, and as soon as this thought went through my mind, the object began to descend and head straight for my car… It was so huge that if filled up the entire sky.” Mr. Hansen reportedly became frightened and started honking the car’s horn in an apparent attempt to scare it off. He stated, “I felt thoughts that weren’t my own, but a kind of voice telling me not to be afraid.”25
Another sighting with apparent telepathic communication is also described in Night Siege. It happened when Monique O’Driscoll was driving her daughter home on February 26, 1983. The UAP was reported to be a large boomerang-shaped brilliantly lit object that must have had “50 lights on it.” The witness stated, “I said to myself, ‘Oh please don’t go, I want to look at you some more.’ At that splint second, it stopped, made a complete turn, and then it was facing towards me. Then it started moving towards me, very slowly.’ ”26
In my judgment when discussing the consciousness connection, the Dr. Edgar Mitchell FREE Experiencer Research Study survey data, as presented in the 800-page academic book titled “Beyond UFOs: The Science of Consciousness and Contact with Non-Human Intelligence”, provides the most detailed and extensive information about telepathic communication with NHIs associated with UAPs. Subjects claiming contact with UAP intelligences from over 100 countries participated in the online survey program. The quantitative survey was divided into two phases (Phase 1, N=3,256 responders and Phase 2, N=1,919 responders). In these two parts, a total of 551 multiple choice questions were asked. There was also a Phase 3 which was comprised of more than 70 Open Ended questions and Dr. Jon Klimo wrote an exhaustive 200-page analysis of these open-end questions which were presented in Chapter Two of “Beyond UFOs”. The questions on telepathy revealed how common this modality of communication is among contact experiencers. The findings are described in the summary Chapter One, of FREE’s compendium Beyond UFOs. Author Reinerio Hernandez reported that,
“78% of our Phase 2 participants have received “some type of telepathic or thought transference, or direct knowing from NHI” … Many also had telepathic communications with an NHI who was not physically present. We asked the question ‘Did you have an encounter with an NHI being but the NHI being was not physically present?’ A very large number of individuals (N=1,235, or 70.4%) of those that answered the question agreed they had communications with an NHI, but the NHI was not physically present. We also asked various other questions regarding non-physical contact and communications with
NHI: Almost one half, or 46% of the thousands of the survey respondents have had more than 10 of these types of telepathic contact experiences. 12% have had between 5-10 of these non-physical CEs and 20% had between 3-5 CEs. Thus, 68% have had 3 or more telepathic contact experiences.
The following are the categories of this telepathic communication:
- 66% stated that the communication was personally relevant information.
- 52% of these dealt with spiritual or religious messages.
- 51% described the information received as philosophical or metaphysical.
- 46% stated that it was some other type of communication.
- 34% stated that the information was scientific or technological in nature.
- 34% stated that the telepathic communication dealt with global or social- political issues.
What is interesting is that 887 individuals, or 53.4% of the respondents, stated that there was a vision, a video, or a picture associated with the telepathic communication.”27
As one that participated in the survey, these results are of personal interest to me. During my second year of human initiated contact investigations, for several months I had recurrent telepathic experiences. These typically occurred while meditating or simply resting. In my mind’s eye, I visualized an assortment of NHI beings, each with his/her own personality. They shared information on spiritual as well as social-political themes. On two occasions during fieldwork, I was informed in advance where in the sky, the number of flying saucers and the time that they were going to show up. Subsequent sightings, during those separate nights of fieldwork, confirmed the “heads up” information that I had received was accurate.”

Comments: On another social media page the following comment was made in response to the above blog.
“This is an excellent presentation on the topic of Human Intelligence (HI) communicating telepathically with Non-Human Intelligences (NHIs). The most revealing data is this: “We asked the question ‘Did you have an encounter with an NHI being but the NHI being was not physically present?’ A very large number of individuals (N=1,235, or 70.4%) of those that answered the question agreed they had communications with an NHI, but the NHI was not physically present.” … The types of Telepathic Communications varied amongst the human individuals, although most of these seem to be represented as visual and auditory perceptions (thus not usually involving the others senses, such as olfaction or gustation or tactilence): this is a very important finding, in that the human senses of seeing and hearing can be perceived from a distance, but smelling and tasting and touching are necessarily associated with nearby (smelling) or direct physical contact (tasting and touching).
Also, informational downloads seem to be cognitively received fairly often by the human experiencers, indicating an impartation of knowledge. Additionally, the human experiencers frequently report emotional feelings deriving from the NHIs, often including sentiments of love and affection are caring (though sometimes discomfort and fear may be conveyed). … It should be duly noted that NHIs may possibly have senses that we humans just do not possess (outside of our human sensory ranges), such as infrared or ultraviolet colors (as seen by various terrestrial species such as many insects & birds & mammals), and very high pitched sounds (as echolocation in such terrestrial species as bats) and very low pitched sounds (as sonar in such terrestrial species as whales and dolphins). When NHIs are in close proximity to human experiencers, their bodily odors / fragrances can be readily detected, sometimes described as sulphureous and pungent stinks or as floral and pleasant perfumes. …
These perceptions by human experiencers may be quite useful in understanding the evolutionary and genetic history of the physical NHI species, so that it might be posited that some NHIs may have evolved in certain kinds of exoplanetary environments similar to or much different from the climate ecologies of our planet Earth, perhaps on exoplanets having sparse water or mostly oceans as well as having greater or less than Earth gravity (thus indicating exoplanets more or less massive than Earth; less massive exoplanets may favor tall & thin species, while more massive exoplanets may favor short & stout species). However, once any intelligent species becomes spacefaring and inhabiting enormous spaceships (sometimes called mother ships), then these advancing NHIs might decide to proceed in their evolutionary/genetic development according to conditions similar to or different from their off-exoplanet origins. …
So far, the above aspects describe the physical parameters of living NHIs, but we should also consider the spiritual dimensions of NHIs, especially those whose existence may pertain to living on motherships for many generations, perhaps even with lifespans of hundreds or thousands of years. As with us human beings on Earth, we are connected spiritually with our deceased and future humans; our souls are thus interconnected across spacetime: thus we living humans have “soul” communications with our ancestors and our descendants. Such may also apply to NHIs, and in fact they may be more keenly attuned to their own respective “soul families” across spacetime, with more advanced psychic abilities than we humans have presently. …
As intelligent species and spirits, humans and NHIs therefore share in some common concerns, and likewise could very well be pondering such fundamental questions of existence, as “Why are we here?” and “Where did we come from?” and “Where are we going?” So, we humans and our “cosmic cousins” (sometimes quaintly called our “space brothers and sisters” during the 1950s) seem to have many existential commonalities. If consciousness is indeed the fundamental issue, then any living (or deceased or future) physical species, and ethereal spirits, may wonder just why there are so many material species and spiritual entities, and Who is the Consciousness that might be the Source and Destination of our mutually shared (albeit multitudinously various) Human and Non-Human consciousnesses?”
Very good article, as an experiencer since childhood I can attest to many of what you have recorded here from my fellow experiencers. As far as vision I have experienced anything from primitive cave like drawing and artwork ti video clips and 3 D holograms so real it is like it is really there. Orbs and even UFOs seem to respond to my focused thoughts. Thank you for posting
