Contact with UAPs and their Occupants
You have likely heard fantastic stories about UFO/UAP sightings and ET/NHI contact. NHI stands for non-human intelligence, which is a term we used in place of ETs when we're not sure what is in charge of the UAPs.
There have been stories of ET/NHI contact for at least as long as there have been UFO/UAP stories. It may be that our stories of gods, fairies, and angels may in part be stories of ET or NHI contact.
These stories are difficult to make sense of because they are highly strange. It may be best to think of them like dreams, while acknowledging that dreams are real.

1,000s of reports every year
Public reporting centers, private databases, and contact networks publish thousands of reports each year
Narrative and anecdotal testimony regarding UAP sightings and ET contact comes through many sources:
- Report centers like NUFORC or MUFON
- Governmental reports like the UAP Preliminary Assessment
- Academic surveys like FREE's Beyond UFOs Survey
- Citizen science and contact networks likes Light Net or ET Let's Talk
- Case study books like Hopkin's Missing Time or Mack's Abduction

Many dimensions of experience
One of the most respected UAP researchers describes 6 layers of information that include highly strange and dream-like events
Jacques Vallee, who was the model for French research in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, describes his model for describing impacts of UAP/NHI encounters through 6 layers:
- Physical, dealing with more or less normal physical evidence
- Anti-physical, involving strange physical events like duplication, disappearance, missing time, etc.
- Psycho-social, involving impacts on human psychology
- Physiological, relating to sensation and body control
- Psychic, involving ESP, dreams, telepathic connection
- Cultural, involving worldviews, theories, and religious experience

ET/NHI Contact is Dream-like
A study of 4,000+ experiencers of NHI contact reveals primacy of consciousness in the contact experience
Dr. Edgar Mitchell's Foundation for Research into Extraterrestrial and Extraordinary Experience conducted a survey of more than 4,000 experiencers.
The researchers found that:
- Abduction is a limited phenomenon
- Most contact experiences are positive
- Contact leads to positive lifestyle inventory changes
- Phenomenology of experiences indicate that consciousness is primary (think quantum mechanics and observer effect)
The researchers subsequently produced a 4 volume theory and testimony books series to explore the hypothesis called A Greater Reality. Daniel, D-SETI founder, contributed the chapter on lucid dreaming.
