As MUFON State Director of Southern California, Earl Grey Anderson has personally investigated over 1000 UFO cases, ranging from multi-witness sightings to face to face encounters. These are the best and most unforgettable of Earl’s cases, featuring witness testimony from police officers, pilots, aerospace, Federal Agents, and the military.
Having had a face to face alien encounter himself, Earl speaks experientially, knowledgeably, and passionately about the active UFO phenomenon right here in Southern California. So join Earl Grey Anderson for his first ever appearance at Contact In The Desert, as he takes you on a mind-bending trip deep inside The Grey Files!

This lecture is meant as an entertaining of a more ‘sceptical’ stance to the phenomenon, purely with the intention of constituting a review of the available neurobiological and psychological literature which some authors assert provides an exhaustive explication. However, importantly, this will also be novelly paralleled with relevant neuroscientific and psychological studies pertaining to the near-death experience (NDE), and with neuroscientific studies of the psychedelic experience (which may, conflictingly, evoke a suggestion of a more spiritual dimension). The need for such a comprehensive review emanates largely from the ever-increasing legitimisation in recent years of the discourse on “UAPs” (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena), not least since the watershed moment of the US government admitting their existence in mainstream 2017 press releases, which could challenge this reductive framing. A diverse array of neural theories will be surveyed, encompassing those with recourse to psychedelics, sleep paralysis, REM, brain regions, predictive processing and neurophenomenological comparisons with psychedelics and near-death experiences (NDEs) – as well as psychological models, such as those entailing cultural transmission, personality traits, trauma, memory and psychological comparisons with NDEs. However, this talk will be punctuated throughout with numerable apparent shortfalls of this rigidly biopsychosocial account. This talk is also deliberately contrasted with another workshop by the same speaker, in which a wholly antithetical account will be given that embraces the possibility of a non-material nature to these phenomena, or is even poised to undermine such a duality altogether.

For thousands of years, stories of extraterrestrial contact were often accompanied by specific number sequences and symbols. Many of these numbers found their way into various religious teachings, while certain geometric forms were depicted in ancient temples and sacred sites all over the world. Through recent breakthroughs in technology, we now realize that far more information was contained in these intriguing patterns and numbers than we could have ever imagined. The deeper we investigate, it’s as if we’re unlocking a “calling card” of sorts, where it becomes clear that beings possessing a higher intelligence have been revealing not only specific information about our species and planet, but also a certain type of proof of their existence. Researcher Eric Rankin has been featured on Gaia TV and multiple episodes of History Channel’s Ancient Alien series. His lectures have been called groundbreaking, and his “Sonic Geometry” videos have been viewed millions of times.

At the center of the truth process underway is the term Disclosure with a capital (D). Is that term new for you? During the CITD conference it will come up often in lectures, workshops, and intensives. Stephen Bassett, one of the leading political activists speaking truth to power on this issue, will provide some basic background to prepare you for the deep dives later in the weekend.
