The consciousness-based “illusory” mechanisms of contact might be more important than the images perceived during encounters. Joseph Burkes MD 2023, edited 2025 Taking photographs of UFOs has always been a challenge. Many sightings last only seconds and the “objects”, or better stated, the “visual displays” that are observed often move rapidly. If some sightings areContinue reading “Virtual Photography: Can UAP Intelligences Insert Images into Photography Equipment?”

Dr. Carl Sagan’s Views on “ETs”, Abductee/Contactee vs “Contact Worker” & the Big Picture
Joseph Burkes MD 2024 Carl Sagan in “Cosmos” 1980 Chapter 12- “Encyclopaedia Galactica” “It is pointless to worry about the possible malevolent intentions of an advanced civilization with whom we might make contact. It is more likely that the mere fact they have survived so long means they have learned to live with themselves andContinue reading “Dr. Carl Sagan’s Views on “ETs”, Abductee/Contactee vs “Contact Worker” & the Big Picture”

The Reasons why Flying Saucer Intelligences might stage “Virtual” Instead of Exclusively Physical Encounters.
Two Important Caveats: 1. If UAP intelligences are physical beings and not some kind of intelligent energy, the safety concerns are likely important issues for them. 2. The Virtual Experience Model doesn’t propose that all encounters are holographic or psychic. In my judgment, interactions are occurring via both virtual and physical means. The Virtual Experience ModelContinue reading “The Reasons why Flying Saucer Intelligences might stage “Virtual” Instead of Exclusively Physical Encounters.”
Why is it more difficult in some countries to discuss UFOs?
The future has arrived. It’s just not evenly distributed yet. 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, both North and South.

“Why me?”
Joseph Burkes MD 2011 “Why me?” is a question that many UFO experiencers ask. The non-human intelligences behind flying saucer phenomena have extraordinary mental capacities. It has been said that we are dealing with entities that can access our consciousness, as readily as we access light, by turning on a wall switch. They have probably interactedContinue reading ““Why me?””
