True we should still be open to the faint possibility that there may be some kind of alien contact in the future, but the overwhelming evidence suggests that we have yet to be visited by E.T.'s. It seems far more likely that what we classify as close encounters of the third or fourth kind are really misidentified projectiles of our own psycho-social biography.

There are naturalistic explanations that often are misinterpreted; there are transformative experiences and there are adequate and inadequate combinations of both. However, there aren’t only unidentified but genuine cases of interaction between non terrestrial intelligent beings that use a transdimensional technology combining natural physical reality and the Subtle Realm. Sometimes these interactive events maintain a “high strangeness” of classical physics-defying behavior and require an enhanced understanding of how far the scope of “nature” and “physis” reaches.

Hellyer: It was very good meeting you in D.C. at the Citizen´s Hearing on Disclosure. I'm on my way back to Peru now. I want to assist in the task of simplifying the complexity of exopolitical - ET presence issues which I have been researching since 1973. I'm simply interested in helping you and other fellow Americans and honest, good hearted, rational people to get a clearer overview of the various aspects and likely implications. Ive been trying to integrate the many aspects and implications of the ET presence (as a natural vocation) since the age of 12. For obvious reasons I volunteered to assist and be present at Steven Bassett's historic Citizens' Hearing on Disclosure and basically flew for this from Peru. I do it because I'm concerned for humanity and understand the culturally transformative potential of extraterrestrial contact. I also do it because I believe that humanity has the capacity to absorb, learn and understand this knowledge and to choose a wise course of action.
