A human-initiated contact practice developed by Steven Greer and CSETI, combining group meditation, directed intention, observation, and signaling.
CE-5, short for “Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind,” is a practice whose participants attempt to initiate contact with non-human intelligence. Steven Greer and the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence developed and promoted the term beginning in 1990, extending J. Allen Hynek’s encounter scale from observation to deliberate human outreach. Organized expeditions and local groups use the method in the field, usually at night and away from dense city lighting.
The protocol blends consciousness practices with ordinary observation. Participants meditate, try to establish a calm or coherent group state, visualize their position on Earth, direct an invitation outward, and watch for a response. Some sessions add flashlights, lasers used under explicit aircraft-safety restrictions, tones, or radio equipment. Greer’s manuals and films describe unusual lights, movement, bodily sensations, and synchronicities as possible contact. Adherents often treat intention itself as part of the mechanism rather than merely preparation for observing the sky.
CE-5 differs from passive abduction and contact narratives because the witness claims agency and repeatability. That also creates a testable burden the public record has not met. Night-sky lights can be aircraft, satellites, tumbling objects, astronomical sources, insects, or camera artifacts; an apparent response after a signal may be coincidence or selection from many observations. Personal testimony and videos can document what participants experienced, but no controlled, independently replicated study has established that the protocol summons or communicates with non-human intelligence.
The practice is nevertheless influential. It moved contact claims from isolated experiencers into a participatory movement, created a commercial network of expeditions, apps, workshops, and films, and helped join UAP culture to meditation and spiritual transformation. The documentary CE5: The New Frontier of Contact presents the method through that worldview. Evaluating CE-5 requires keeping two questions separate: whether structured group observation can generate meaningful personal experiences, and whether the observed stimulus came from an intentional non-human source. The first is amply attested by participants; the second remains an extraordinary, unverified attribution.

From 2009–2017, Steven Greer and members of his CSETI/CE-5 groups produced several photographs claimed to show extraterrestrial beings. On November 17, 2009, CSETI member Raven Nabulsi photographed an area beside the group’s chairs during a contact expedition at Joshua Tree National Park, California. CSETI released the image publicly in 2010, describing the figure as an extraterrestrial being encountered during the event. Greer later presented the same figure as “Bijou,” an ambassador from th...

"My dad knew about some of this [UFOs] way back in the 60s. He took his revolver, and ate his gun, and blew his head off." ~Patrick Hughes, Former DIA Director [Quoted] 1 #ufo - 2nd Q for Greer. This is very important so hopefully, @TOEwithCurt sees & asks this one. Dr. Greer, in his CE5 doc: "When I was briefing the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (Greer & CMDR Will Miller briefed LTG Patrick M. Hughes in 1998, at the Pentagon),
Hitchhiker effect is brought up in Jay Strattons book. We’ve also heard many other talking heads in this space mention it(Lue, Bigalow etc) We also heard recently on JRE from Grusch about a “Ghostbusters moment”. Is it possible one of the reasons for all the gatekeeping is a potential global hitchhiker effect or “ghostbusters moment”? I will be honest, I have look into the whole CE5/remote viewing communications with NHI. And every time I think about actually trying it, I chicken out as I fee...

The people that believe will keep trying for open contact while everyone else sits around waiting for the government to spoonfeed you the answer. Close Encounters of The Fifth Kind (better for newbies) CE5: The New Frontier of Contact (better for more advanced/knowledgeable people)
: I suspect that the intelligences responsible for the phenomenon can access anyone’s consciousness as readily as you and I access light at home by turning on a wall switch. Thus, Human Initiated Contact Events (HICE) aka CE-5 experiences are programmed interactions. Both in CE-5 protocols and in the ones given to Mission Rama by their “hermanos mayores”(older brothers) contact efforts are advised to be done in groups. Given this emphasis on group process, sightings and other manifestations o...
The following material was covered in my lecture. Thirty-four years ago, I took a walk on the wild side. I joined a group that had the audacity to go out at night and try to co-create contact experiences with the intelligence associated with the so-called UFO phenomenon. To my surprise and initial delight, we were immediately successful. During our first month of teamwork, we had several sightings while in the field. But stranger still was that these “Others that Experiencers now call ET” (TO...
