A late single-source tradition set near a Nevada range.
Chalk-white skin, blue eyes, unusually tall, described as living near a Nevada range in the 1960s with tacit military awareness. The entire tradition rests on Charles Hall's books from 2002: detailed, internally consistent, and so far uncorroborated by anyone else. A contactee tradition arriving in an era that had largely moved on from them.
Claimed to have travelled here from another star system in an ordinary physical body.
Degree of embodiment: 5, an ordinary biological body
Scale, 1 to 5
5 is an ordinary biological body. 4 is physical but manifests oddly. 3 comes and goes. 2 is energetic or subtle. 1 is consciousness with no persistent form. Note that this tends to fall as a tradition ages.
C: contactee tradition
Source code
Traceable to one named person's claimed meetings. Detailed, often internally consistent, and rarely corroborated by anyone who did not read the first account.
The contactee tradition
Term
The 1950s pattern set by George Adamski: a friendly, human-looking visitor met deliberately rather than abducted, a telepathic warning about nuclear weapons, and a named home world. Almost every benevolent alien since inherits this grammar.
No practice attached
Tradition-side
There is nothing to do here: no inherited method of engagement, whether the tradition is a text, an argument or a set of reports. Anyone offering you one has invented it.
Deliberate contact work
Read this first
The hazard in this subject attaches to the method, not to which name you aim it at. Ouija work, invocation, sustained channelling, induced hypnagogia, deliberate sleep deprivation and hypnotic regression are the practices associated with difficulty, and a session aimed at a benevolent civilisation is not safer than one aimed at something considered lower. What raises risk is doing it alone, doing it repeatedly, doing it while sleep-deprived, and doing it with an existing vulnerability to psychosis, mania or dissociation. People who get into trouble here overwhelmingly got there through practice, not through reading.
Who should be careful
Practice-side
Anyone with a personal or family history of psychosis, bipolar disorder or dissociative conditions, anyone in acute crisis, and anyone isolated from people who would notice a change in them. Intensive contact practice is destabilising by design (that is what it is for), and destabilisation lands hardest on people already close to an edge.
