BLAST FROM THE PAST: It was a privilege to be interviewed by the one and only Grant Cameron on his White House UFO YouTube Channel in September of 2018. We discussed highlights of my three decade history of contact activism. I described my participation in Human Initiated Contact Events (HICE) with the CE-5 network andContinue reading “Grant Cameron Files Interview”

Why is it more difficult in some countries to discuss UFOs than in other nations? J. Burkes MD 2019, edited 2024 I suspect that for many countries, especially in Scandinavia and then Germany, followed by France and the UK, it is far more difficult for UFO truth seekers to operate than say in the Americas,Continue reading “The Future Has Arrived, It’s Just Not Equally Distributed Yet”

On March 31, 2019, Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove interviewed me for his TV series, “New More Thinking Allowed.”Our conversation allowed me to give a detailed history of how I got involved in contact work as an extension of my peace and social justice activities from the 1960s into the 1980s. I describe the initial efforts ofContinue reading “My Interview on “New More Thinking Allowed””

Joseph Burkes MD 2023In my judgment, the term “contactee” in many ways is outdated and inappropriate when it comes to those staging Human Initiated Contact Events (HICE) aka CE-5s. “Contactee” is somewhat pejorative because so much attention in the past has been focused on networks of experiencers called “contactee cults.”  For over 50 years, contactees have been forcefully criticizedContinue reading “Abductee/Contactee vs. Contact Worker and the Big Picture”

Another retired serviceman comes forward describing UAPs at a nuclear weapons base. In addition to sightings of yellow orbs, Adrian Reister had an encounter with “what can only be described as a ‘shadow person.’” This reportedly happened while he was doing paperwork in a highly secured locked down section of the base. In the accompanyingContinue reading “UFOs and Nukes, another witness comes forward.”

J. Burkes MD 2021, updated 2025 I believe that acknowledging what appears to be an “ET” presence just might inspire us to make better political choices. If the alleged ET civilizations can travel across vast distances of space, or move through other dimensions to get here, then a great deal of energy would probably beContinue reading “DISCLOSURE OF AN ET PRESENCE MIGHT JUST END THE CAREER OF MANY POLITICIANS”

Joseph Burkes MD 2019, edited 2024 INTRODUCTION As the result of carefully studying numerous interactions with the intelligence responsible for Unidentified Aerial Phenomena UAP, I have developed a new paradigm for understanding the important role of illusion as a mechanism of contact. In proposing this model, I must emphasize that both physical and illusory contactContinue reading “The Virtual Experience Model, an Overview”

Why the term Human Initiated Contact  Event/or Experience is better than Close Encounter of the Fifth Kind (CE-5) As the result of three decades of use, the term CE-5 has the advantage of name recognition. Nevertheless, there are several reasons why HICE (Human Initiated Contact Event/or Experience) might be preferable.  I learned the definition of CE-5Continue reading “CE-5 vs HICE (Human Initiated Contact Event)”

  In the UFO truth movement there are few leaders, mostly celebrities.  Joseph Burkes MD 2022 In the position paper titled ” Why Might Terrestrial Elites Fear UAPs?“, I put forward the proposition that an extraterrestrial presence could threaten terrestrial ruling classes. This includes most of the planet’s military, economic and political elites. If thisContinue reading “THE LEADERSHIP CRISIS IN UFOLOGY”

Joseph Burkes MD 2023 What is the Contact Underground? Can a new type of social movement be created linking UFOs to possible solutions for humanity’s seemingly unsurmountable problems? The Contact Underground is a general term that I coined about twenty years ago. In its most narrow sense, it designates those that are promoting what areContinue reading “What is the Contact Underground?”
