Intro

By day, Principal Software Engineer

Boston Scientific in Arden Hills, MN

Evenings and weekends:– Field Investigator with Mutual UFO Network– Writer (SF and UFO/CE4 non-fiction)– Private Practice Hypnotherapist

Poll - Audience Experiences

1. How many here have seen something unexplained in the sky?

2. How many have had some kind of experience they can not explain?

3. How many have done field investigation of close encounter events?

Agenda

Overview: Sightings and Encounters Events of the Fourth Kind: Abduction Field Investigation Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy Thoughts and Speculations

First Example:Spring Lake Park, MN CE1

Spring 1978 Object passed close overhead: Treetop level Slow moving Seen by whole family and neighbors

UFO101: Types and Kinds of Events

Types:– Anomaly (AN): anything unexplained: ghosts, monsters– Distant Encounter (FB or MA): Phenomenon is at a distance– Close Encounter (CE): Phenomenon is up close and personal)

Kinds:1. First Kind - you're here, it's there2. Second Kind – the same as #1, but it left something behind3. Third Kind - you're here, they're there, but at a distance4. Fourth Kind - you and they are both in their reality: Abduction/Contact5. Fifth Kind (more than one definition)

– You called them (Greer/Haines): UFOs responding to human signals (blinking headlights)Human Initiated Contact (CSETI)

– They hurt you (Vallee): UFOs are dangerous (!!!)

....... Focus on CE1, CE4 in this talk .......

A Close Encounter of the First Kind1993: Hwy 65 in Blaine, MN

Two people in car, observe close approach of light

Witness looks away for a moment

Moments later, both look up and observe large triangular object

Both highly PSI sensitive Life-long experiencers Common in triangle sightings(?)

Object observed by large number of people Hovered/Maneuvered over I694 - I35W

interchange

Hovering and ManeuversNew Brighton Freeway CE1

Fall of 1979

Sighting = Relationship

CE1: Relationship mostly one way: Observation CE3: Relationship “stronger” - one way (possibly more...)

Relationship two-way?In CE1 or CE3:

– Witness sometimes feels that “object is there for me” or– “They” are aware of me– Object is watching me

Possibly look for CE4 in these cases

Event of fourth kind: Relationship two way, witness becomes an experiencer

Hovering/Slow SpeedTriangular UFO:

Western Suburbs October 2000

Treetop level Object moved at walking

speed Passed over nearby Hwy

(note: should have been seen but no reports...)

Sense of “communion” with object – aware of her presence (relationship?)

Agenda


Close Encounters of the fourth kind

(Witness now becomes an experiencer)

Often "unremembered" - Missing time

Sense of mystery: "What just happened?”

Ambiguous – “can’t be sure…”

Sense of disquiet: – "Something seems to be wrong", – "That was weird..."

“Jade” - A Classic Abduction

Late Evening: Walking on suburban street

Vague memory of:• Object overhead• Beam of light • Last memory of event

Then location was changed

Subsequent memory fragments of ‘something strange’

Jade: Subsequent Memories

Evelyn: A (very) Close Encounter

•Distant object

•UFO moves toward/over house

•Lights in yard

•Entities at door

•Amnesia from that point on

•Sense of “something strange happened”

Evelyn: The “Pulled out of Bed” CE4

Awoke to sense of entity along side of bed Felt touch on shoulder Suddenly flipped over onto front, floating over bed Felt self being pulled out of bed by feet Memory drops out at time when body about half

way off of foot of bed Next memory is of light ascending from over east

side of house, above kitchen window – some time later

Physical traces found after event

Close up of trace

• Found a day later while doing winter prep work on yard

• Dead patch/trails had not been there the day before

Larger view of trace and north side of yard

Evelyn: Subsequent Indicator Events

Became interested in space, E.T. life, contact, etc... Many paranormal side effects Electronics and watches malfunction Frequent light bulb burnouts Ghosts and related sightings in family history Fear of night, being alone in house Reaction to subject of space, UFOs, etc. Lifelong interaction with the phenomenon General sense of fear/anxiety

(more on indicators later...)

Events in a typical CE4

Oz Factor ( ‘Muffled Silence’, ‘Twilight Zone’ ) Capture (extreme fear, onset of amnesia) Transport to the UFO Medical Experiments: “Laying on table” or “Tested” Other "contingent" events such as:

- “Ship tour” or “conference” with aliens - Lessons, or knowledge/secret/mission- Mindscan- Apocalyptic visions

2 hrs after start: Return to normal reality- Confusion/Disorientation- Sense of mystery - "what just

happened?"

Janice: Wolves on the House

Janice – many experiences over lifetime Late July, 1994 Experience

– Occurred in Eau Claire, WI area– Awoke in wee hours to find herself in yard

Events:– On house, saw several “wolves” or “coyotes”, with “moon” behind

them– Found herself accompanied by entities, one on each side– Escorted to UFO/”alien realm”– Classic CE4 event: “Onboard”, experiment, “conference” with

entities

Diagram of Location

Experimental “Goo Machine”

Found self standing in front of “goo machine” Was instructed to place hand in flow of “goo” Seemed “gross”, but complied anyway (compelled) Found that instead, substance was more “smoke-like”,

or illusory. - Not actually “gross”

Conference with Entities

Next found self in room with “leader” and several smaller entities

They seemed curious about her health condition

One to two word explanation of health condition

Leader turned and repeated it to the others

Subsequently found self back in bed – awoke with a start: “What in the hell?….”

Carolyn: Case of the Starchild

Carolyn and husband live in Northern, WI. Rural area near moderate sized city Multiple encounters throughout life, combined

with challenging life circumstances Encounters were largely classic (similar to

Hopkins/Jacobs) Repeated CE4 events involving appearances

by entities Memories of medical “procedures” Repeated events leaving body marks

Case Summary/Chronology

During late 1997/Early 1998, repeated close encounters

Unable to have children but... Described how had become pregnant in 1998,

following CE4 More CE4 events during this time Following experience, found pregnancy had ended Dec 1998 – apparent event – “baby dream”

presentation Nov 1999 – child presentation “1 year old”

Related/Subsequent Events

Many “Apocalypse” Dreams

Repeated CE4 events involving appearances by starchild

Repeated events leaving body marks

Encounter in Spring 2000– Handprint left on sliding glass door of house

Handprint Photos

Recent Events

March 2006 Nebraska I70 Encounter– Saw large object– Missing time

In Regression described encounter with “black eyed people”

Agenda


CE4 Investigation and Fieldwork

CE4 Just like any other sighting – only closer... – May look like CE1, with anomalies

Begin with standard witness interview Ask witness to describe event:

– Cognitive interview (FI Manual 5th Ed. P62)– Multiple passes– Recount in reverse order– Change perspective (if you were over there, what would you see...)

Ask about other events, family involvement Finally, ask about beliefs re: UFOs, experiences, etc... In any close sighting, Look for CE4 indicators

Experiencer Indicators

Missing Time Many UFO and Paranormal Events throughout life: Ghosts, Psychic

events, “Religious" or Spiritual events Sudden change of physical/mental/spiritual health Onset of special gifts (often this is sudden) Sudden change of spiritual outlook or personal world view Unexplained scars or "scoop marks" on body Unexplained phobias/obsessions - especially regarding:

– The Sky, Outdoor locations, Night-time, Space, Sci-Fi (!), – ET Life, UFOs, etc...

Dreams/Nightmares of UFOs, aliens, being in a strange hospital or lying on a table

Sense of special knowledge/mission/secret that is present but hidden

Evelyn: Indicator Events Example

Fear/Fascination with space, E.T. life, contact, etc... Many paranormal side effects Electronics and watches malfunction Frequent light bulb burnouts Ghosts and related sightings in family history Fear of night, being alone in house Reaction to subject of space, UFOs, etc. Lifelong interaction with the phenomenon General sense of fear/anxiety

Carolyn: Related/Subsequent Events

Many “Apocalypse” Dreams,

UFO and Alien Dreams

Repeated CE4 events involving appearances by starchild

Repeated events leaving body marks

Encounter in Spring 2000 – Physical evidence: Handprint left on sliding glass door of

house (seen earlier)

Agenda

Overview: Sightings and Encounters Events of the Fourth Kind: Abduction Field Investigation CE4s: Challenge and Healing Thoughts and Speculations

The Shattered Reality

High strangeness of events during CE4– Far from normal experiences: Often leaves experiencer with

limited ability to cope

Can result in extreme fear– Fear Management: Hypnotherapy extremely useful– In The Cosmic Bridge:

Cases of Evelyn, Jenny, Carolyn, Amy, Jim

Experiencer has a foot in each world– Normal everyday world – World of the phenomenon

The Emotional Effects of Encounters

Reactions can range from – Interest/Curiosity: “Wow, Cool!”

….to….

– "God Awful" trauma

Shattered Reality ("Oh My God, it really happened”)

Fear – Can be extreme– CE4 can happen at any time

Hypnotherapy can be a primary healing tool – dealing with emotional effects.

Healing is top priority

Check early: Is post-contact trauma present? – check for fear response– Treat as any other case of long-term fear

Healing work as needed… – Based upon client’s goals – some may not need it

Understanding: What happened? Experiencer: a “Cosmic Bridge” between worlds

– Goal often is to help experiencer to resolve these two worlds

Evelyn – Fear management after“Pulled out of Bed” CE4

Subsequent months after encounter: fear of being alone in house

Panic at night sky, subject of UFOs, E.T.s, Space, etc...

– But also extreme fascination Feeling of “Mission”: here for a purpose

– But terrified to seek the truth Talk Therapy & Counseling ineffective Began with specialized hypnotherapy

(parts work – stay tuned...)

Parts Therapy: Resolving fear-instilling event

Evelyn: Couldn’t start with regression, due to fear factor, needed initial healing before starting

Mind is a “quilt-work” of thoughts, ideas, memories, etc.

Each acts as a “piece of personality” Each part effects overall health, personality, etc. Open interaction, permeable boundaries. In trance: can address individual parts, mediate

between opposing parts

Parts Work (continued)

Called out part that “helps Evelyn feel the fear”– Sought out “how it got it’s job”– Source = religious teaching to fear unexplained

Also called out a “Spiritual Explorer” part– Wanted to explore her experiences, understand them

Able to resolve discord between “Spiritual Explorer” and “Fear” parts

Allowed Evelyn to explore experiences on condition that rest of life normal/grounded

Subsequently, a great deal of info emerged regarding events

Regression:Getting to the heart of the matter

To learn experiencers perception of encounter– Sequence of events “behind the veil”

Clean regression is paramount Limit vocabulary to generic, non-leading

questions/instructions– “Please continue…”– “What are you experiencing?”– “What else do you notice?”– “How do you feel about that?”

Multiple passes through event– Other techniques available but this is the cleanest way to

develop detail

Multiple Passes

First few passes: Allow account to develop Should be stable, with increasing detail.

If stable, look for progressive elaboration If core account varies, may be "creative" in nature

...but still important, even if not CE4 eventlook for metaphor or dream material, what is lesson

Dream test: ask generic question about what is in the distance if detail is present, then may be biographical If blank, fog or no detail, then may be a dream

Later passes

Secret details: description of the "interior" – Comparison with commonly described “classic”

abduction events (some kept to CE4 researchers). – Similarity suggests that it may be a abduction event

Ask "false lead" questions– Ask “check” questions that lead toward the “mundane”

(no aliens, no abduction, etc…)– Risky: Generally want to avoid leading questions

Can ask more detailed questions (stay generic) Followup healing work (next slide...)

Reframing and other healing work

Reframing – Client specific viewpoints of the event – Goal is understanding, (self)forgiveness, empowerment– Re-examine meaning of a given event

Chair/gestalt therapy– Put the “leader of the aliens” in the chair & allow dialog– Empowerment of experiencer: “telling off” the leader– Release and forgiveness of “them”

Parts work as needed Emotional protection imagery Finish with “ecology check” = Check of emotional state

Agenda


Thoughts and Speculations

What’s going on? What is our relationship with them? What might be the “alien agenda(s)”?

Mystery and Paradox

Fermi Paradox: “where are they?” – So many stars, so little contact...

Why is the phenomenon so paradoxical Why are UFOs so secretive? (or are they?) Why don’t they just land on the Whitehouse lawn? Possible Solutions:

– The Zoo Hypothesis– Deardorff: “ET Strategy for Earth”– Nature Preserve Hypothesis– Genetics & Hybridization– Indigo Hypothesis

The Zoo Hypothesis

Simplest “UFOlogical” Resolution to Fermi Paradox

They are here but are observing and hidden Interacting with us only covertly ET’s want to remain undetected: “The Prime

Directive”– Prevent interference?– Prevent us from threatening them?

Would seldom see evidence of their presence

Deardorff: “Proposed ET Strategy for Earth”

Expands on Zoo Hypothesis E.T. Assumption: We’re not ready for contact Prime Directive: Initial interstellar quarantine Stages of contact

1. Observing stage: mapping, surveying, scientific observations – quarantine and non-interference

2. Clandestine contacts, abductions, etc.3. Infusing contact awareness at the “grass roots”4. Gradual disclosure into “open consciousness”5. Eventual Entry into "Cosmic Kindergarten"

Nature Preserve Hypothesis

Another variation of Zoo Hypothesis Earth as a protected ecosystem Aliens as “rangers/biologists,” humans as

“animals” Periodically E.T. rangers/biologists capture

(abduct) and study human animals Rangers “Implant” radio collars on the

animals A metaphor for UFO abduction?

Genetics/Hybridization Aspects of UFO Abduction

UFO abduction literature extensively describes ET genetic interest

Abductee reports of embryos, hybrids, etc...– Varying degrees of “humanness”– Being increasingly human seems to be a goal... (?)

What is the purpose of this?– We don’t know (!!!)

CL Speculation: – “Human Improvement Project” (????) (continuation on next slide)

Indigo Hypothesis

Abductee families - brilliant/psychic/empathic children Indigo Child Phenomenon:

– Psychic, brilliant, empathic– A lot written on Indigo Child subject in New Age community– A “powerful and controversial” phenomenon

Correlation between UFO/CE4 and Indigo phenomena? Speculation:

– Jacobs: “Hybridization Project” over the last 100+ years?– Genetic results injected back into human gene pool?

Are we being modified (a human improvement project)? – To be better citizens of the cosmos?– For other (less benevolent) reasons?

Idea offers testable theories: genetics, ESP tests, etc...`

Speculation:E.T. multi-pronged agenda

Breed a humanity more “advanced” psychically and/or spiritually?

– Hybrid reports– Indigo children

Growing awareness within the individual– Psychic awakening– Teaching and mission aspects of experiencer phenomenon

Opening of human consciousness – Sheldrake: Sum of effects: the 100th Monkey effect– Barbara Marx Hubbard’s book, Conscious Evolution– Suggests an aggregate spiritual emergence in progress

Preparing us for contact? From Cosmic viewpoint: necessary before we can travel out

there? (we’re not the greatest neighbors yet...)

(a shameless plug for my book… )

The Cosmic Bridge Close Encounters and Human Destiny

Explores: Impact of encounter on the experiencer Possible reasons/agendas for presence of the Visitors Evolving relationship between humans (individual, society) and

the phenomenon– Human consciousness convergence with that of the visitors?

The emerging Cosmic Bridge between Human and Visitor consciousness... ?
