Joseph Burkes MD 2022 Introduction: 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 Experience” (HICE). While there, I had a number of remarkable sightings. One night I witnessed a largeContinue reading “HIGH STRANGENESS GALORE AFTER RETURNING FROM A UFO INVESTIGATION IN THE VOLCANIC ZONE”

J. Burkes MD 2018, edited 2024 Back in the 1950s, when as a child I attended racial integration marches with my mother, no one had to explain to black people and ethical whites that the racist system of segregation was in existence. The same is true with the women’s movement that has defended the rightsContinue reading “Disclosure versus Confirmation: Preparing the Foundation for a “Cosmic Peace” Campaign”

Joseph Burkes MD 2014 revised 2022 I am urging contact/disclosure activists to think outside of the box. This is why I keep asking people to study the works of John Keel and Jacques Vallee. The flying saucer phenomenon is so complex, so Earth shaking in its implications, that only by evaluating it from multiple pointsContinue reading “Thinking Outside of the Box: Flying Saucers and Religion”

J. Burkes MD 2021, edited 2024 Introduction In this blog, I will outline my objections to the CSETI Director Dr Steven Greer’s attacks on retired intelligence officials who are attempting to establish a more open government policy on UFOs. An alleged false flag operation to simulate an “ET” attack has been discussed for decades. InContinue reading “Accusations of “False Flag”, “Witness X” and Grant Cameron’s “Managing Magic””

James Iandoli has provided an important service by posting this short video report. I especially appreciate his information and analysis because I was one of the three core CE-5 Initiative Working Group Coordinators operating in the Western USA from 1992 through 1997. The other two, Shari Adamiak (Denver)and Wayne Peterson (Phoenix) are now deceased. TheContinue reading “Contact Activist James Iandoli Reviews Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind”

Joseph Burkes MD 2020, edited 2024 It has been over two years since this blog was first posted on social media. I believe that the information and analysis offered is still pertinent.  “The 4-minute interview linked below covers a great deal of important material. It starts by mentioning the Navy’s remarkable admission in 2017 thatContinue reading “A Reluctant Disclosure Program: Pentagon Policy on UAPs Reflect a Decisive Struggle Within Elites”

J. Burkes MD 2017, edited 2024 In my judgment, UFO phenomena threatens all terrestrial elites but not the Earth’s people. Until recently the media, academia, military, and politicians opposed any reasonable discussion of this subject because they were committed to defending the status quo’s de facto policy of ridicule and denial. This regimen has been referred toContinue reading “Intimidation and Fear Mongering: Are “Friends in High Places” Capable of Defending UFO Experiencers?”

CONTACT NETWORK HISTORY PROJECT . J. Burkes MD  2015, with comment posted 2022 Pet animals have a calming effect on humans. On one occasion involving high strangeness, contact work apparently had a calming effect on wild desert animals.  In 1993 at a resort called Robson Mining World near Phoenix, Dr. Greer led a training workshop withContinue reading “High Strangeness in the Arizona Desert”

UFOs are a great challenge because they defy definition.  Joseph Burkes MD 2017, edited 2024 They are called flying saucers, UFOs, ETs, and now UAP, but also space brothers, aliens, angels, or demons. My wife Yael is not particularly interested in the subject and calls them “the Whatevers.” I mean no disrespect to Christians whenContinue reading ““WHAT’S IN A NAME?””
