Beyond The Tin Foil Hat - S02E33 - with Dr. Joseph Burkes

This is the FINAL episode of 2020 and what a show do we have planned!

Dr. Burkes is a retired internal medicine physician having completed 30 years of service for the Southern California Permanente Medical Group. He has been 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, MUFON and FREE, The Foundation for Research into ET and Extraordinary Experiences(FREE). With researcher Preston Dennett, he is co-author of a chapter on UAP associated medical healings published in the FREE compendium “Beyond UFOs”. He has also co-authored “Paths to Contact” edited by Jeff Becker.

In the 1990s he volunteered as a Working Group Coordinator for Dr. Steven Greer’s Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind Initiative. In that capacity he had numerous Human Initiated Contact Experiences (HICE) popularly known as CE-5s. Although Dr. Burkes left CSETI more than 20 years ago, he has continued to promote the worldwide efforts of the network of activists that he calls “The Contact Underground.” Dr. Burkes’ blogs that appear on Facebook focus on the mechanisms of contact. These include the Virtual Experience Model that describes the role of illusion during close encounters and the intelligence-counterintelligence model for UFO investigations. This model for engaging UFO intelligences is based on the assessment that flying saucers threaten all terrestrial elites, but not necessarily the Earth’s peoples. Dr. Burkes is a graduate of Tufts University School of Medicine. He resides in California with his wife Yael, four small dogs and a 110-year-old desert tortoise named Moishe.
