Joseph Burkes MD is a volunteer UFO investigator since 1992 working with, the Center for the Study of ET Intelligence (CSETI), the Peruvian network of contact workers known as Rahma and FREE, The Foundation for Research into ET Encounters. For five years in the 1990s he volunteered as a Working Group Coordinator for Dr. Steven Greer’s Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind Initiative and have continued to promote the worldwide efforts of activists that he calls “The Contact Underground.”  His writings focus on the mechanisms of contact. These include the Virtual Experiencer Hypothesis that describes the role of illusion during close encounters and the intelligence-counterintelligence model for UFO investigations. Most importantly Dr. Burkes believes that in order to establish full direct relations with the non-human intelligences associated with the flying saucer phenomenon, humanity needs to create a sustainable world peace based on social justice. This will require a spiritual transformation of humanity’s mass consciousness. In his view UFO intelligences are assisting humanity during this period of rapid change for Earth civilization. Joseph Burkes MD is co-author of the book “Paths to Contact” edited by Jeff Becker. He also has co-authored a chapter on medical healings with researcher Preston Dennett in the FREE compendium “Beyond UFOs.”
