There is little doubt that the gray aliens possess a powerful form of telepathic control according to research by many investigators – as well as my own UFO research as a Psychiatric Therapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist. I learned a great deal from approximately three hundred hypnosis investigations between 1989 and 1997. But I tried to keep a non-judgmental, level-headed, and logical appraisal of all the emerging information and fascinating detail.
Humans are very sensitive to anybody trying to control them or their lives. A controlling marital partner is probably one of the major causes for divorce. To have a sense that aliens are controlling our minds with their telepathic powers is, therefore, already an unwanted practice. But we assume that this is negative and a bad thing. But my research has shown that it happens to sedate, calm, or make a person comfortable with their presence. It has also been shown that their telepathic messages help us forget or suppress memory of their visit, so that we can continue our lives without interruption, distraction, or feeling disturbed.
However, the aliens have greatly underestimated our emotions as human beings. While our conscious minds may be fooled, manipulated, and temporarily controlled, our subconscious emotions KNOW that something out of the ordinary has happened. Those emotions start giving the abductee disturbing nightmares or unexplainable, confusing images. They may start doodling or painting these nagging images, feeling a sense of fear at times. As in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), certain environmental cues, like flashing lights or the eyes of an owl, may trigger unexpected emotional reactions. These intense emotions have been submerged and hidden – and do not know how to be processed and understood yet.

Some weeks ago I had a conversation with an experiencer. He expressed his frustration that he was having trouble knowing what was really going on, and stated that we can’t really know or do a thing because ‘ET controls the narrative’. ET decides when contact takes place, what happens, and what we remember.
It reminded me of the story of another experiencer who, about a decade ago, was receiving telepathic messages to go outside, and follow a UFO. Sure enough, there was a UFO outside, and he started following it wherever it went. This lasted for hours, and he got quite frustrated. The moment he decided to give up, a being appeared explaining to him that none of what had happened was real, that it was just a virtual reality experience. Karla Turner coined the term ‘Virtual Reality Scenario’ for those experiences.
The question who controls the narrative is one worth paying attention to. Abductees, e.g., often have implanted memories and screen memories. There also are the Virtual Reality Scenarios described above, where one believes to have experienced something, but only the emotional response to it is real, the actual series of events isn’t.
So, does ET control the narrative? And, if so, what can we do about it?
We asked our panel for their comments.

Deciphering the alien mystery is a daunting task. We’re chasing after a suspect who alters the memories of his victims, who uses an intimate knowledge of human psychology to craft his lies, who has the power of invisibility and precognition, and who normally hides out in a parallel dimension beyond our reach. Like the wind, he is invisible, but by the swirling of the dust we can know something of him.

Through Their Eyes
The 1994 Ariel School Encounter
Ellen Mahoney
(Editor's note: This is an updated version of an article that was originally published in the 2013 December/January issue of Open Minds magazine. Reprinted with permission. Drawings reprinted with permission from John E. Mack Archives LLC).
One of the most extraordinary mass UFO sightings in recent history occurred among children at an elementary school playground in the small farming village of Ruwa, a suburb of Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, Africa.
On September 16, 1994, during mid-morning recess at the Ariel primary school in Ruwa, about sixty-two children put down their jump ropes and Rugby balls and reported seeing spacecraft and two “strange beings” in the rugged, grassy area adjacent to their schoolyard.
News of the sighting spread fast, and in the days and months following the event, researchers and reporters from around the world traveled to the school to talk with the young children who had made the incredible claims.
According to investigators, the English-speaking schoolchildren, who ranged in age from six to twelve years, had immediate and differing reactions to the encounter. Some of the students said they ran about the playground in an excited, confused state while others stood spellbound watching the event unfold. Some said they were curious and wanted to check out what was happening, while a few others were frightened and started to cry.
Nevertheless, the children’s reports were vivid, clear, and consistent. Many of the children reported seeing beings that wore shiny tight-fitting black suits, had very thin arms and legs, and were about four feet tall. The spacecraft was described as large and silver with lights and a red stripe around the edge. Although some children drew pictures of the beings without hair, many children said the beings had long straight black hair with facial features consisting of large oval black eyes, small nostrils, and a slit for a mouth.
Many of the children reported that one of the beings remained on top of the spacecraft, as if on watch, while the other being moved directly toward them. And, perhaps most remarkable, a number of the children claimed to have telepathic communication with the beings who gave them prophetic messages about the environmental destruction of Earth.

How Exoconsciousness Evolves from Human-ET Contact
Rebecca Hardcastle Wright, PhD
“How do I become Exoconscious?” a woman asked, gripping the mic. Affirmation murmured undertones waved through the scattered participants, the dedicated, who remained until the last nugget of information could be gleaned from Steve Bassett’s 2009 X conference in Washington DC. “Our next X Conference needs to be about Exoconsciousness,” she continued, followed by a smattering of applause.
Steve Bassett had scheduled me to present for 5 minutes about my Exoconscious work at the tail end of his X Conference on a stage of 10 other people who also shared their Ufology and Exopolitics work.
That someone plucked Exoconsciousness from the brief topics presented surprised me. I answered her question and affirmed that yes, a future X conference needs to be about Exoconsciousness. Alas, it never happened. Exopolitics remained sourced in government information and never veered into consciousness. Instead, the growth of Exoconsciousness occurred via a planetary community of ET Experiencers, separate from Exopolitics and government, examining human-oriented consciousness aspects of contact. This is how citizens, who are experiencers, bring about Disclosure.
On a personal note, the reason I am leading with the woman’s question is that for almost a decade, her question has both haunted and inspired me. The haunting came in how dare I call myself a consciousness expert when the term itself is so muddled by science, metaphysics, brain initiatives, psychology, psychiatry, not to mention artificial intelligence and religion. How dare I share how to become Exoconscious? The inspiring came in how clearly Exoconsciousness unfolds in the lives of long-term experiencers. How imperative it is that we Exoconscious ET experiencers share our awakening processes, tools and techniques in the form of experience.

Altered States of Consciousness

A new series of articles in our 'Ask the Panel' section deals with the role of Altered States of Consciousness in contact experiences.
When investigating contact experiences, it quickly becomes clear that altered states of consciousness are an essential piece of the puzzle.
To begin with, there is the fact that many memories of contact experiences can only be retrieved under hypnosis. Our ability to consciously recall certain encounters seems to be limited, compared to what we can recall when we wade outside of our regular waking state of consciousness, which is characterized by brainwave activity that falls within the 12-30 Hz range, called Beta waves. Memories of contact experiences seem to be more easily accessible in Alpha or Theta states, where the brainwave activity falls within the 7.5-12Hz and 4-7.5HZ ranges, respectively.
But there is more to these altered states of consciousness than merely a better ability to remember. Contactees can often perceive beings and craft that others cannot. There is the phenomenon of astral abductions, where the person seems to bilocate. There are many dream-state encounters. That shouldn’t come as a surprise. Research regarding telepathy and remote viewing also shows that these phenomena work better when the subject is in altered states or is familiar with them.
It is well documented that UFOs and beings seem to step in and out of our 3D physical reality at will. This suggests the existence of other realms that they seem to be more familiar with than we are. Esoteric literature refers to them as subtle realms and uses terms like astral and etheric for them. We can’t perceive those realms nor those who dwell in them in our normal beta wave state of consciousness. But we can when in altered states of consciousness.
In short, there is much more to the contact phenomenon than a "nuts and bolts approach only" can address. If we really want to learn about the others, we probably have to first familiarize ourselves with altered states of consciousness.
We therefore asked our panel members for their ideas on the role of altered states of consciousness in contact experiences.

“This can’t be happening! I’m not in an altered state of consciousness, I’m not paralyzed, I’m not out of body, and this is too physical!” Those were my first thoughts when I realized it was an alien being trying to break down my door.
The incident occurred at my studio apartment in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, on October 10, 2002 at 4:45 AM. I was sitting on the floor writing an article for my website when through the open window I heard a rustling sound outside in the dark grassy gated courtyard. It sounded like a child dashing across the grass at superhuman speed, mixed with the sound of dried leaves rustling. After hearing it again, my intuition alerted me to something very unfamiliar being out there. It approached and stepped on to the sandy cement patio, dragging its feet and making a shuffling sound as it got closer. I called out a warning for it to identify itself, hoping it was just a neighbor. It didn’t respond.
Then suddenly it pressed up against the frosted glass slatted door and rattled it loudly for a few seconds. The creature was looking in through the gap between the slats, but me sitting on the floor meant I could only see it through the frosted glass. Through the frosted glass I could see the fuzzy impression of a pink-skinned face at doorknob height, and a smaller one of its hand beneath. That’s when I realized it wasn’t a neighbor or even a burglar, but some bipedal pink-skinned humanoid roughly 3-4 feet tall. The creature was 100% physical as evidenced by the door rattling. It continued peering in until I looked away to grab the phone and call my girlfriend to tell her what was happening. After dialing and looking back up, the entity was gone.

The Role of Altered States of Consciousness
During ET Abduction/Contact Experiences
When exploring the ET contact phenomenon, it is important to note that in most abduction/contact scenarios, the perpetrators of these events have by some method altered to varying degrees the emotional responses and perceptual abilities of the experiencer. Unfortunately, I personally believe that some, certainly not all, ET races may not have the best interest of humans in mind when doing so. Adding to that, I also believe that the experiencer’s state of consciousness can sometimes be noticeably influenced by the person themselves.
Extraterrestrial Altered States
First, let us consider the altered states imposed on a human by certain extraterrestrials. In this case, simply for the ease in handling a human, ET’s generally subdue the will of the experiencer and inhibit that person’s ability to fully focus and comprehend what is actually happening to them. This cerebral disruption will first and foremost be imposed for the ET’s benefit, in order to control the event and fulfill the alien agenda more quickly, easily and without conflict. As noted above, I also believe there are
certain races that promote such clandestine contacts through altered states in order to conceal the ET’s agenda.
