Fox TV’s July 1994 “Encounters” Report on the CE-5 Initiative: UFO Intelligence Didn’t Follow the Script

Joseph Burkes MD 

This Fox Network documentary showcased our Los Angeles CE-5 contact team. It was filmed in Topanga Canyon State Park in July of 1994 with an elaborate production. This included a 40-foot-high elevated camera to give an “ET” perspective from overhead. In the video report, we can see some of the talented team members who facilitated Human Initiated Contact Events (HICE) thirty years ago. They included PhD clinical psychologist Dr. Dixie Sullivan, 747 Captain Joe Vallejo and the  prominent writer Preston Dennett. 

The script writers assumed that there would be no sightings. Therefore, as the sun went down reporter Sandra Gin recorded a statement stating that although there was no sighting, it was still exciting to be under the stars hoping for contact. UAP associated intelligences apparently had not read the script because they did show up! An anomalous nocturnal light rose three times above the canyon’s ridge-line. These silent lights flashed  signals at us that were of the same color as the Fox rented laser lights shown in the video. Sandra Gin had to ad lib a different conclusion to her report. 

This July 1994 HICE involved what the CSETI Director labelled a “telepathic over-ride.” On two occasions during field-investigations, I received information at “the level of knowledge” as to when, where in the sky and the number of craft that would be seen during our sky-watch activities.  The first time was in Joshua Tree in October of 1993. I was informed prior to midnight that our sighting would take place at 2AM, one craft appearing in the northwest. Our sighting that night corresponded to this “heads-up” message that I had received telepathically. 

Nine months later in Topanga Canyon, something similar occurred. While I was in the parking lot eating the catered vegetarian pizza that the Fox producers had brought for us, I saw in my mind’s eye three small white saucers in a line over the northwestern rim of Topanga Canyon. I was “informed” that the time of the Human Initiated Contact Event would be  9PM.  The first of three sightings started a few minutes before nine, then the second one at 9PM and finally a few minutes after nine. All three anomalous lights slowly rose over the northwestern rim of the canyon that I had visualized  in my mind’s eye earlier that night. 

I was to continue my contact work under the CE-5 banner for several more years. In 1998 for personal and reasons, I resigned from the CSETI leadership and have not spoken to Dr. Steven Greer since. I view his contributions during the years we worked together as well as the 2001 Disclosure Project news conference to be positive. I honor the work that I did with mycontact team three decades ago during the early years of the CE-5 Initiative.

Shari Adamiak was the first Working Group Coordinator CE-5 Initiative. As I shook her hand for the first time, I experienced an unusual surge of energy emanating from her. Her dedication to human initiated contact was unsurpassed.

In 1993, I travelled into the Volcanic Zone near Mexico City as part of a Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind (CE-5) investigation. “CE-5” can also be designated as a “Human Initiated Contact Event” (HICE). While in Mexico, I had several remarkable sightings. One night we witnessed a large silent triangular craft that signaled at our team. On another occasion in broad daylight at close range, I saw a metallic disc with rectangular windows as it flew past three members of our group.

On returning from the Volcanic Zone, my level of contact with UFO intelligences went way up. I had several sightings and an anomalous sound tracked through our contact team’s research site in the Malibu Hills. Captain Joe Vallejo, a 747-pilot described seeing a small box like entity directly in front of me while we were meditating.
