This study, conducted by the Dr. Edgar Mitchell Foundation for Research into Extraterrestrial and Extraordinary Experiences (FREE), and published in the Journal of Scientific Exploration (June, 2018) represents the first comprehensive investigation on individuals (N = 3,256) who have reported various forms of contact experience (CE) with a non-human intelligent being (NHI) associated with or without an unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP). The research methodology utilized two comprehensive quantitative surveys totaling 554 questions administered to subjects with reported non-hypnotic memory recall of their CE. The survey addressed a diverse range of physical, psychological, perceptual, and paranormal aspects of reported non-hypnotic-based recall of both physical and/or non-physical interactions with an NHI.

This document contains a brief summary of the data findings contained in the first two chapters of our five year research study, contained in our book “Beyond UFOs: The Science of Consciousness and Contact with Non-Human Intelligence”, which can be found and viewed in its entirety on our ‘Books’ page. We received over 10,000 pages of responses to the 70 open-ended questions in our survey, with responses from 4,350 UFO Contact Experiencers from 125 countries for our 3 surveys in the English language. Harvard Professor Dr. Rudy Schild and Reinerio (Rey) Hernandez authored Chapter 1, which contains an analysis of the data findings from our first two surveys, while Dr. John Klimo, a Ph.D. graduate from Brown University who taught Qualitative Survey Methodology to Ph.D. graduate students, wrote the analysis for Chapter 2. For those wishing to review the actual data findings in greater detail, along with bar graph and pie chart summaries, Chapters 1 and 2 are available below.

In this article, Rey Hernandez, Director of CCRI, provides a overview of each volume in the "A Greater Reality" series. Volumes 1 & 2 are the theoretical volumes and feature articles by more than 45 Ph.D. academics, medical doctors, and researchers, while Volumes 3, 4, 5 & 6 feature articles written by more than 75 individuals who each have had many diverse contact experiences with perceived Higher Forms of Intelligence.

Here, Chapter 1 of "Beyond UFO's" is presented, in which the data, findings, and summary of Phase 1 and Phase 2 of FREE's 5 year research study is detailed. The research methodology utilized two phases, in the form of comprehensive quantitative surveys totaling 551 questions. Chapter 1 details the analysis and subsequent discussion of the two quantitative surveys employed.

In Chapter 2 of "Beyond UFO's", Phase 3 of FREE's 5 year research study is detailed. Phase 3 of the FREE research study was a completely qualitative-type study, using approximately 160 questions, about 70 of which were qualitative questions requiring free, open-ended written responses. Data for this third phase was collected for about a year, after which the results of approximately 1000 respondents were analyzed, and are presented here.

This article is an examination of the FREE survey data by Joseph Burkes, MD, and Preston Dennett (field investigator for the Mutual UFO Network). This article seeks to shine a spotlight on CE healing cases, to investigate how these healings take place, and to address the many questions these cases raise. The authors reviewed hundreds of the reported healing cases from the FREE surveys and chose ten promising cases to study in more depth, which are examined in detail.

In this article, Rey Hernandez provides a commentary on the shortcomings of current mainstream UFO research, presenting a case for discussing UFO’s in a broader context. In this article, he questions the materialistic viewpoints held by David Jacobs, Budd Hopkins, and Richard Dolan, and presents data indicating that most experiencers of UFO’s / NHI recall their experiences to be predominantly positive, rather than predominantly negative.
This article contains a summary of a CCRI Research Committee meeting, held on February 6, 2020. In this article, a panel of PhD's, MD's, and others discuss different proposals to better address future research initiatives in a credible academically credible manner, as well as suggestions for improving methodologies, frameworks, and data collection initiatives.
