**With the permission of our editor, Reinerio Hernandez and my co-author Preston Dennett, I will be posting case histories drawn from Chapter 6 of “Beyond UFOs.” Chapter 6 is titled “Medical Healings Reported by UAP Contact Experiencers: An Analysis of the FREE Data.”**
**The Free Experiencer Survey was a large multinational study of over 4000 self-described UAP Contact witnesses. To date, it is the only large comprehensive academically designed investigation of individuals claiming that they have had contact with UAP associated non-human intelligences. The findings of this investigation can be found in “Beyond UFOs” published by the Doctor Edgar Mitchell Foundation for Research into Extraterrestrial and Extraordinary Encounters (FREE)**
“**One of the most interesting findings that emerged from this work was the many medical healings and attempts to heal on the part of the visitors… In about one half of the cases I’ve been involved, there have been healings due to operations and/or treatments.** **Sometimes the cures are permanent. At other times the conditions recur**.”
Edith Fiore from her book **Encounters: A Psychologist Reveals Case Studies of Abductions by Extraterrestrials.**
“… **many abductees have experienced or witnessed healing conditions ranging from minor wounds to pneumonia, childhood leukemia, and even in one case reported to me first-hand, the overcoming of muscular atrophy in a leg related to poliomyelitis**.”
Dr. John Mack, Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard School of Medicine
**Introduction**
A medical UAP healing can be defined as a physiological improvement as the result of an encounter with non-human intelligence (NHI.) These types of cases have appeared regularly since the modern age of UAPs and continue to be reported today. While most major researchers have uncovered cases of healings, due to their fantastic nature, such events have not received much attention.
Leading contact experience researcher Budd Hopkins says, “***The question is whether we hear about healing cases. We do sometimes, very rarely, but they do turn up***.”1 David Jacobs author of *Secret Life* and other books about contact with NHI writes, “***In extremely rare cases, the aliens will undertake a cure of some ailment troubling the abductee***.”2 While Hopkins and Jacobs both asserted that such account are “rare,” not all researchers agree. John Mack MD, whose book, ***Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens***, was a watershed event for the UFO community writes “…many abductees have experienced or witnessed healing conditions…”3 Edith Fiore Ph.D. concurs with Mack and writes, “One of the most interesting findings that emerged from this work was the many healings and attempts to heal on the part of the visitors…In about one-half of the cases I’ve been involved there have been healings due to operations and/or treatments.”4
In 1996, researcher Preston Dennett released his book, ***UFO Healings***, which presented more than 100 cases, showing beyond any reasonable doubt the veracity of healings cases. While researchers now agree that these cases exist, little is known about how common they are. The data from the FREE Experiencer Research Study surveys, however, reveal some surprising answers and settles the controversy once and for all. Fully 50% of the respondents of the FREE surveys report UAP related medical healings.
The purpose of this article is to use the data from the FREE survey to shine a spotlight on CE (contact experience) healing cases, to show how these healings take place, and to answer the many questions these cases raise. Who is being healed and why? What conditions are being healed? Is there any proof?
The authors of this chapter reviewed hundreds of the reported healing cases from the FREE surveys and chose ten promising cases to study in more depth. These cases are presented below and represent only the tip of the iceberg of the actual number of healings uncovered by the FREE survey.
**The Healing Cases**
**Case Study # 1**: “Anonymous Physician.” Hemorrhagic Shock Following Dental Surgery. (Interview by Joseph Burkes MD)
I have thoroughly vetted this witness who in fact is a practicing physician in his mid-thirties. His work involves direct patient care, and he requests that no additional personal details that might identify him be included in this report. This contact experiencer stated that he was raised in a Catholic home and attended religious schools. His impression was that his parents wanted him in Catholic school, not for the religious training but more because they wanted him to have a quality education. Since his childhood he has been fascinated by science fiction and described himself as a *Star Trek* fan. As a child he enjoyed watching TV shows like NBC’s, *Unsolved Mysteries*, and Fox’s, *Sightings*, but never thought seriously about flying saucers. He stated that he is not a churchgoer and Buddhism is the faith that resonates most with his beliefs. In the past he meditated daily and more recently once per week.
Although never having a sighting of a flying saucer, approximately ten years ago he did have an episode of missing time that he acknowledges was highly bizarre. As a medical student he decided one day that he wanted to have a pet cat. He drove to the local animal pound that was over twenty miles from his home, arriving around noontime. There he encountered an unusual looking heavy-set female attendant that had a strange pear-shaped body. In addition to her body build there was something about her that seemed “off,” but he couldn’t specify what it was other than having a strange feeling in her presence. The young doctor picked out a three-year-old orange cat and was checking out of the facility when the attendant told him that they were having a “two for one sale.” She recommended that he look at a very special cat that was available for adoption. He informed her that he really didn’t want two cats, but she insisted on showing him the other that was all white in color***.***
He recalls finally consenting to see the “sale” cat and then something strange occurred. He had a break in the continuity of consciousness consistent with a missing time event. The witness suddenly found himself stuck in traffic several miles away from the pound with only the white cat that the attendant had recommended. He can’t recall leaving the clinic and doesn’t understand why he didn’t have his original choice of a calico cat with him. From the volume of traffic on the highway it seemed as if he was stuck in rush hour and several hours might have passed since his arrival at the animal pound. It seemed so bizarre that he had no recollection of what transpired between when he was about to be shown the second animal and finding himself stuck in traffic.
In 2013 this contact experiencer underwent a right lower wisdom tooth extraction that was complicated by excessive bleeding. He reported that the right inferior alveolar artery was cut producing profuse bleeding. He was advised that he should simply apply local pressure by clenching down with his teeth on a piece of gauze and that the bleeding would soon stop, but it did not. At home the bleeding continued. The witness described it as being “pulsatile,” indicating that a jet of blood squirted into his mouth with each beat of his heart. Soon he was surrounded in his apartment by mounds of blood-soaked gauze and no matter how hard he pressed down on the extraction site, the profuse bleeding continued. He realized that he was in danger. He was alone and he needed serious medical attention, but the only hospital able to handle this kind of emergency was the one where he worked. The doctor stated that he felt embarrassed to go there for treatment. In retrospect, he realized that his judgment was impaired by the loss of blood. Nevertheless, as a trained clinician he recognized the seriousness of his situation. He was becoming light-headed, cold, clammy and his reflection in the mirror was ghostly white. He knew he was going into shock. However, before he could get out of his blood-soaked apartment or call for help he passed out on his bed. It is important to note that he has no history of recurrent syncope (fainting spells).
The next thing he remembered was that he was enveloped by a beam of intense white light and was floating in a space that was not his apartment. The room was circular, about twenty feet across. There were many wires attached to the walls that were made of some kind of metal. He looked down and to his surprise the floor was transparent. He stated that he could see the Earth from vantage point of space. The globe did not fill his entire field of vision and stars were visible shining faintly in the surrounding darkness. This physician stated that his memories of what transpired are extremely vivid. What he recalled didn’t feel like it was a dream. In this strange environment he caught a glimpse of a non-human being that he identified as looking like the grey alien stereotype. It was short, perhaps four feet tall, with large wrap-around dark eyes. It appeared to be wearing a large garment that altered its appearance. Instead of the typically thin body build associated with this alleged alien phenotype, the grey non-human being looked somewhat stout. Several seconds after seeing this strange creature he reported that the scene vanished, and he found himself back on his blood-soaked bed. The apartment was a mess, but to his surprise he felt perfectly fine. The bleeding had completely stopped, and he was able to rise without the lightheadedness that he had experienced before passing out. In the mirror he could see that the pallor in his face was gone. The color of his complexion was totally normal. This young physician denied experiencing a powerful thirst that is associated with blood loss. He soon realized that he had been completely healed from this potentially dangerous condition. Following this remarkable event, his interest in the subject of flying saucers understandably increased dramatically. Given his highly responsible public position as a practicing clinician, he was and still is concerned about how being linked to this account might affect his career. Nevertheless, despite the risks of being exposed as a contact experiencer, he wants his story to be told albeit under conditions of anonymity.
***Commentary:***
Joseph Burkes MD: Although physicians may not make the best patients, we are skilled observers that can recognize the causes and necessary treatments for our medical problems. What this physician experiencer described is a history perfectly consistent with a diagnosis of hemorrhagic shock leading to syncope (loss of consciousness). He denied a previous history of fainting or any one of a host of medical conditions that might have caused him to pass out. Conventional treatment of patients with shock from bleeding requires large amounts of intravenous fluids and if deemed necessary, blood transfusions as well. A head and neck, or an oral surgeon would very likely be called into the hospital to stop the bleeding in such a case as this. Typically, for a young adult with no other medical problems, only an overnight stay in the hospital might be required. In the elderly, for those with major medical problems or complications from the bleeding, a day of observation would be necessary. It is of interest to note that the healing did not apparently take place in his home. This serious potentially life-threatening illness would very probably require the typing and cross matching of blood for transfusion, and that his healing was associated with memories of an on-board UAP experience. The question arises how might a non-human intelligence (NHI) obtain blood for transfusion? It is reasonable that the medical treatment would require transfer to a better equipped setting, not in a terrestrial hospital, but perhaps onboard a zero-gravity facility located high above our planet’s surface.
Preston Dennett: The dental healing reported by the anonymous physician provides compelling evidence of intervention by non-human intelligence. And the fact that the person healed was a doctor himself adds an additional level of credibility to this case. Dental healings are somewhat rare, and I know of only two other reported cases, one involving the healing of an impacted wisdom tooth, and the other involving new growth of teeth.5 A fascinating feature of this case is how closely it resembles a near-death experience. The witness felt that he was near death when he passed out. Then he finds himself rising out of his room on a beam of light and seeing stars and the Earth in the distance. These are all features consistent with near-death experiences (NDEs). However, the witness reports finding him inside a round metal room with wires along the walls and a grey-type NHI standing next to him, all features consistent with a typical onboard experience. Could it be that the physician experienced both an NDE and a UAP related contact experience with a NHI simultaneously? Incidentally, I have heard many cases involving both an NDE a UAP related contact with NHI.
One wonders what would have been seen by a camera filming this event. My guess is that it would have recorded the physician lying in bed and being sucked up through the ceiling in a beam of light, then later being returned.
Because of the descriptions provided, I would classify the physician’s experience as an onboard experience. While he has no memory of how the healing took place, the fact that he woke up not only alive, but feeling good with no sign of injury shows the extraordinary power behind this phenomenon. If it had been just a dream, one would presume that upon awakening, the tooth would still be hurting. But that’s not what happened. It is also interesting that the healing came when it did, just in time to save his life, no earlier, no later. This shows that the witness was being closely monitored by non-human intelligence, which intervened apparently only when needed.
“FREE SURVEY PHASE 2 Question 137: Do you believe that any of these ETs have performed a medical healing on either you or another member of your family.
Answer: Out of 1534 respondents, 767 (50%) said yes.
FREE SURVEY PHASE 2 Question 242: Have you ever had a sudden or rapid healing that you believe was a result of ET intervention?
Answer: Out of 1379 respondents, 487 (35%) said yes.
The FREE survey shows conclusively that medical healings in conjunction with a UAP experience are not only a consistent feature but are common.”
