In my judgment, the entire UAP/paranormal interest community are unable to grasp the tremendous psi capability of the non-human intelligences associated with what are now called “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena.” Their mechanisms of contact are consciousness based and involve placing human subjects in altered states of consciousness that involve strong forms of virtual reality akin to OBEs. These “others” can implant false memories that convince both experiencers and researchers alike that those recollections describe physical events rather than primarily psychic interactions.
The same applies for sighting events. Many of which I strongly suspect are holographic like projections rather than observations of physical objects.
If the UFO subculture were to recognize these consciousness-based mechanisms of contact (implanted memories and hologram like visual displays) the entire house of cards of “ufology” or perhaps what now might be called “UAP studies”, would come tumbling down.
This critique does not mean there are no physical “aliens.” In my judgment there are such beings interacting with us. Both psychic interactions and physical ones are occurring. The challenge is for us to tell them apart!
The popularity of physicalism (matter/energy as primary and mind a derivative) is embodied in the saying “seeing is believing.” I would add to that “remembering is believing.”

The Consciousness and Contact Research Institute (CCRI) is a new scientific research group founded by Reinerio Hernandez. He has published a multivolume compendium called “A Greater Reality.” Volumes 1 and 2 of this series of anthologies are available on line free of charge at the CCRI website: https://agreaterreality.com
My article appears in Volume 2 and is titled, “REPORT FROM THE CONTACT UNDERGROUND: HUMAN INITIATED CONTACT, THE CONSCIOUSNESS CONNECTION AND THE VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE MODEL.” It can be viewed as a free pdf file at:
I introduce the Virtual Experience Model, which from a materialist/ physicalist perspective describes “illusory” mechanisms of contact. In proposing this model, I am not asserting that all encounters are “illusory,” both physical and psi-meditated interactions are occurring and the challenge is for us to tell them apart.

Staging Psi-mediated Close Encounters might have practical advantages for UFO intelligences. Staging exclusively physical interactions could pose enormous risks including the transmission of deadly pathogens. https://contactunderground.wordpress.com/2022/02/11/the-reasons-why-flying-saucer-intelligences-might-stage-virtual-instead-of-physical-encounters/

Two Cases Supporting the Virtual Experience of the Second Kind. This category postulates that UAP intelligences create a strong form of virtual reality during Close Encounters. This has been referred as a “Matrix Reality.”
The work that Andrija Puharich did with Uri Geller revealed a dramatic case of “Virtual Memory”, aka a Virtual Experience of the Third Kind.
In the blog linked below I discuss advances in memory science and their implications for both the Virtual Experience Model and the use of hypnosis on contact experiencers.
I discuss the phenomenon of tulpas within the context of the Virtual Experience Model.
A blog analyzing an event at Skinwalker Ranch that supports the Virtual Experience Model. Dr. Kelleher was present when 6 observers using night vision equipment described seeing “completely different things.”
