Joseph Burkes MD 2022 Contact Network History Project:          Our fieldwork reached a hiatus during the spring of 1993. In April of that year, Shirley Jones, and I scouted out a new site to do contact work.

Joseph Burkes MD 2022, updated 2024             In my judgment, a strange political dynamic is unfolding within the Military-Industrial- Intelligence complex. According to the Wilbur Smith’s Canadian secret memo of 1950, the flying saucer issue was held by the US at the highest level of classification, higher than even the top-secret program to develop the hydrogenContinue reading “Can “off world” Technology be Safely Integrated into Commercial Industry?

J. Burkes MD 2019, updated 2024 Contact Experiencers please note the following: The Virtual Experience Model doesn’t assert that all Close Encounters are “virtual” i.e., non-physical. Encounters are likely caused by both virtual (consciousness based) and physical mechanisms that may be very difficult to tell apart given the awesome psi capability of UFO Intelligences.

The YouTube video linked above is truly a blast from my past. It is 23-minute vintage 1993 video of Miranda Cunha interviewing “young Dr. Burkes” on her live radio show.

Burkes MD 2022 Summary: “If psychologists can create false memories, we should consider what might be the capabilities of technologically advanced beings that are the supposed perpetrators of “alien abductions.” From the literature, they are described as being skilled not only in telepathic communication, but allegedly can also induce states of amnesia in contact experiencers.Continue reading “Memory Wars II :Remembering Falsely, Hypnosis and the Virtual Experience Model”
