At that point, I began wondering: What am I going to do? How am I going to do this?
I decided that I would just start looking into the subject again and find out what was out there. I found out there was an organization that was having a meeting in Florida where there had been many UFO sightings, the so-called Gulf Breeze Sightings near Pensacola. This meeting was in July of 1990. I had the concept of what I wanted to do and that was create in the world interplanetary ambassadors that would be doing what is now called the CE-5 Initiative, the Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind Initiative. I went to this meeting, and started sharing these ideas and concepts, and the right people suddenly just surfaced and came into my life mysteriously who said, No, don't do it through any existing enti- ty, create your own reality.
Then a man who had been involved in national security issues connected to this subject for years and who was a lawyer came up to me and told me what I needed to do: "Form an organization; hermetically seal it so it can't be penetrated -- in other words, no open board and no open membership; avoid, if you can, being obscure; and as quickly as you can, given what you are going to be doing and what your role is - get out in the public. You must let millions of people know what you are doing - otherwise you won't survive. If you are obscure, you are dead." He gave me the best advice ever.
I knew that much of the information at this conference was false, that it was disinformation. I immediately recognized that.
Then, in August of 1990, I was in the upstairs den adjacent to the master bedroom, sleeping because Emily was up and down with the youngest baby and I had a 24 -hour shift at the ER the next day. Around
2 am I awakened - and was calmly super-aware, very awake. In the cor- ner of the room was a cluster of scintillating lights that was hovering near the ceiling. I acknowledged it, and immediately sat up and picked up the pad of paper beside the bed. I then wrote out the entire plan and con- cept for everything we have been doing for the last 15 years. This included the CE-5 Initiative protocols, the plans, everything. It was as if this scintillating light had awakened all the organization and plan within me and they were just pouring through me. This lasted for an hour or so, and then I went back to sleep and got up around 6 am to work in the emergency department for 24 hours. It was then that I formed CSETI, The Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence, came up with that name, the concepts, the CE-5 Initiative, the need for disclosure, and the entire interplanetary ambassador program. All of it just unfolded in that one night. So things can come in packets of knowledge, all at once, mysteriously.
Of course, I didn't know anybody and nobody knew me. I mean, I was just a country doctor in North Carolina with four kids and a golden retriever and a couple of cars in Biltmore Forest, just living my life. But these experiences made it clear: I must start working on this. But how do you take that vision and actualize it? We had to bootstrap the whole thing.
Over the next couple of years, when I would articulate something that I needed to do or somebody I needed to meet, through mysterious means that person would be introduced to me, within hours, frequently. I will never forget the time that I said, "We really need to get this information to the Secretary General of the United Nations..." and within about an hour or two someone called who I had never heard of and said, "You don't know who I am but I am very good friends with Boutros-Ghali and Mrs. Boutros-Ghali, Leah Ghali, wants to have you come to a meeting.". That is how all this happened, in a very inscrutable way. It was all guided, supported - from behind the veil, a hand was moving.
Our ability to get the truth to the right people all came about because the doors opened mysteriously. And this is how I knew that what I was doing was the right action.
By 1991, I had decided that I needed to begin to train people in the experience
of the Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind Initiative, the CE-5 Initiative. A CE-5 is when humans deliberately welcome and make contact with extraterrestrial people by using a set of protocols to vector them into an area to interact with them. That was the first project of CSETI.
Within a very short time I also wrote all the assessments of the situation. Those white papers were created very quickly. They immediate- ly got picked up by people at the CIA and distributed throughout the aerospace industry. I had a top covert aerospace person call and say, "This is the most accurate assessment of the UFO and extraterrestrial issue we have ever read." It is the original paper and is in the first book, "Extraterrestrial Contact: The Evidence and Implications".
This aerospace scientist then asked me, "How do you know these things?" I said, well, that is a long discussion- so we had a long discus- sion!
In the winter of 1991, we decided to go to Belgium, where we had heard there were an enormous number of encounters with massive tri- angular shaped craft. As you know, in '89, '90, '91, outside of Brussels, thousands of people had seen huge triangular UFOs and they had been filmed, photographed and tracked on radar.
Well, at that time I really didn't train people for this. In my innocence, I thought that everyone could just sit down the first time and enter cosmic consciousness, bilocate into space, vector them in and be ready when a ship showed up! I soon learned that much preparation was need- ed!
In the early days that is what we did. We just took a group of people over and we
did it. The 1st group was me, my wife Emily and two others. We went out and we had the most extraordinary experiences. You can read about them in, "Extraterrestrial Contact: The Evidence and Implications". We ended up meeting some of the top people in Belgium who were working with the Belgium Air Force on this. We then went out to the areas where these huge craft had been seen.
One area was near Eupan, which is in eastern Belgium, near the German border. While at a farm, suddenly a string of lights appeared. It was in an area where one of the gendarme had seen a massive craft. But all we saw were what looked like a string of lights in a field. Of course, everyone said, "Those are just some lights on the farm." I knew they did- n't look like normal lights. We sat there and we watched an object sitting in the field and suddenly the lights vanished! The next day we went back and discovered that there were no street lights, no wires, nothing in that whole area where the lights had been! It had been a craft sitting there.
On another night we were near Henri-Chappelle, at the military cemetery on a ridge. It was a terrible night: raining; sleet mixed with rain. We stayed in the cars and did the CE-5 meditation and vectoring. All of a sudden we heard a deep rumbling vibration. Imagine something that felt like the size of the Empire State
Building, rumbling, humming like a transformer. It had a deep vibration. And suddenly, as we looked up in the cloud -- the cloud cover was only a couple of hundred feet above the ridge or less- something that looked like a full moon dipped down, and moved underneath the clouds. Emily saw it first, actually. It was a corner of one of these massive ships. Then it slipped back up. It just stayed there right on top of us, resonating, humming with a deep vibration. As this was occurring, I saw in my minds'-eye the occupants of the ship. The energy vibration that we were feeling was because they were completely checking us out and connecting with the vehicle and with us as a group and individually. It was very close; close enough that you could feel it.
