The majority of our FREE Board of Directors, including Dr. Rudy Schild
and Dr. Edgar Mitchell, hypothesize that all of these diverse "Paranormal Contact
Modalities" (NDEs, OBEs, UFO visitations, Remote Viewing, ESP, Channeling,
Spirit Interactions, etc) are interconnected through what is commonly called
CONSCIOUSNESS and that advanced physics, in particular, the Quantum
Hologram Theory of Physics and Consciousness, as developed by Dr. Mitchell
and Dr. Schild, can begin to describe the possibility of how all of these diverse
"Paranormal Contact Modalities" are indeed interrelated, including the UFO
Contact Phenomenon.
Both Dr. Rudy Schild, Dr. Edgar Mitchell, and several of our FREE
physicists have published a series of academic papers on topics of the Physics of
Consciousness and the Contact Modalities. FREE will begin, through the
contributions of the five Ph.D. physicists associated with FREE, and other diverse
scientists associated with FREE, to bring into our Experiencer Research Study",
the latest findings from advanced physics that might begin to explain the quantum
nature of anomalous contact experiences, including UFO related contact with nonhuman intelligence. To this end, FREEs website, http://www.experiencer.org/ ,
has two separate menus (The Contact Modalities & The Science of Consciousness)
that contain over 50 articles, many written by Ph.D. physicists and other
academics, that present these topics in an easy to read format for the non-scientific
audience.
The majority of our FREE Board of Directors also endorse the PostMaterialist Paradigm of what is Consciousness, promulgated by Dr. Edgar
Mitchell since the early 1970s who was a pioneer in the study of consciousness
by serving as the founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS)-- one of the
worlds leading institutes that studies the science of consciousness. Dr. Michell,
through a series of publications, established a paradigm that firmly believes that
consciousness is non-local and independent of the brain. This view of non-local
consciousness might allow us to possibly explain a wide variety of special states of
consciousness and many of the so called paranormal contact phenomena,
including UFO related contact experience with non-human intelligence.
Dr Mitchells and Dr. Schilds Quantum Hologram (QH) Theory of
Physics and Consciousness is an extremely complex and flexible model derived
from quantum physics, that just like modern physics String Theory, is an attempt
to explain the true nature of our reality through advanced physics. Our two FREE
co-founders have stated that this theory has the potential to help us explain the
phenomenon Contact with non-human intelligence, a phenomenon that is now
2
Another important factor that might explain the ignorance of the UFO
related Contact phenomenon is that there has NOT been any comprehensive
scientific evidence-based academic research, through extensive surveys and
interviews, on Experiencers of UFO related Contact. Most prior research in
this field, while informative, has been anecdotal in nature rather than comprised of
systematic scientific evaluation. The few previous studies of Experiencers have
had very small sample populations and have focused on limited topic areas. Most
have involved samples of less than 50 individuals. In addition, almost all of the
previous research has focused solely on Abductions, the action or an instance of
forcibly taking someone away against their will by non human intelligent beings.
Today, all of the academics and researchers in our FREE Board of Directors
recognize that focusing solely on abduction cases eliminates the majority of
UFO related contact experiences with non human intelligent beings. The
preliminary findings of our Phase 1 and Phase 2 Surveys support this initial
hypothesis by revealing that Abduction cases are only 32% of the individuals
who have had UFO related contact experiences with non-human intelligent
beings. Thus, the position of our FREE Board of Directors is that we know very
little about this phenomenon and in fact what is readily perceived by the public, or
the field of Ufology, might be totally misunderstood and misguided.
Because of the limitations of the entire body of previous research in this field,
there clearly is a need for a scientific research study, using a large population
sample, in many diverse languages to be administered worldwide, applying both a
comprehensive and diverse large number of quantitative and qualitative structured
survey questions and structured interviews. A proposed research study should also
incorporate individuals that have had both UFO related abduction experiences
and those that have had non abduction related UFO contact experiences. In
addition, a study should incorporate a diverse and large population not only
derived from mainstream Ufology organizations but also a population sample
derived from many other types of diverse organizations, for example from
paranormal organizations, that might have Experiencers of all types of UFO related
contact experiences.
Because we know so little about the phenomenon of UFO related contact
with non-human intelligence, and because no one has ever undertaken a
comprehensive quantitative and qualitative research in this field, FREE is
developing the first comprehensive multilingual academic research study on
individuals that have had UFO related contact experiences with non-human
intelligence. What follows is a detailed discussion of our FREE Experiencer
Research Study.

Dr. Jon Klimo, a recently retired tenured professor who has worked in the
fields of Parapsychology and Transpersonal Psychology for over 40 years, will
serve as Co-Chair of the FREE Experiencer Research Study. Dr. Klimo
developed the research methodology with assistance from a panel of 10 researchers
and academics with previous experience in this field of research. Dr. Klimo is
perfect for this task because he has chaired over 250 Ph.D. dissertations and has
taught Research Methodology for approximately 40 years. Dr. Klimo has also
researched Experiencers of UFO related Contact and other paranormal contact
phenomena for many years and has published various academic papers and books
on these topics.
In addition, ALL of the limited prior research in this field incorporated
data from individuals that have had hypnotic regressions or information acquired
through lucid dreaming. This type of data can bias a study because of the
problems associated with data collection via hypnotic regressions and through a
dream state. Even though hypnotic regression, in the hands of a trained mental
health clinician, can be a viable tool, the regression field is very diverse, using
training from a few days to a trained clinician who has had years of training, and
thus this field is subject to much scrutiny.
Therefore, FREEs data collection is based solely on what is commonly
called CONSCIOUS EXPLICIT MEMORY, which is the conscious,
intentional recollection of previous experiences and information and NOT on
memory from hypnotic regression, lucid dreaming, or other type of non-conscious
memory recollection. People use explicit memory throughout the day, such as
remembering the time of an appointment or recollecting an event from years ago.
Explicit memory involves conscious recollection, compared with Implicit
Memory, such as memories from hypnotic regressions or a lucid dream, which is
a memory from an unintentional form of memory.
In addition, a research study needs to incorporate an automated survey
collection instrument, such as Survey Monkey, to facilitate the systematic
collection of a large amount of survey data. Finally, if UFO related contact is
occurring, we need to acquire data, via the same instrument, but in different
languages, because this phenomenon is not related solely to the English speaking
audience. Thus, there is a need for a survey instrument and a formal interview
process that should be administered in as many diverse languages as possible.
Clearly, there is a need for a new research methodology and research paradigm to
properly research the diversity of UFO related Contact Experiences in a
5
The result is that as of August 1, 2016, FREE has received responses from
over 95 different countries. Our survey in the English language has resulted in
over 2,600 responses and our Spanish language survey has resulted in over 500
responses. In September of 2016 FREE will be launching our Phase 1 and 2
surveys in the French and German languages.
In summary, FREE is NOT a Ufology organization. Instead, FREE is an
organization that is focusing on how the Quantum Hologram Theory of
Consciousness and Physics can attempt to explain all of the Contact
Modalities, including UFO related contact with non-human intelligence.
DR. RUDY SCHILD: Dr. Schild is one of the Co-Founders and the current
Executive Director of FREE. Rudy is an Emeritus Professor of Astrophysics at
the Harvard/Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and published over 400
academic peer reviewed publications on the topics of Dark Matter, Black Holes,
the fluid mechanical origins of Cosmic Structure and the Physics of Information.
Because of his long association with Dr. John Mack and Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Rudy
became interested in the formulation of a coherent understanding of the nature of
space-time in the Universe, and is a champion of the Edgar Mitchell Quantum
Hologram formulation of the nature of existence and reality. As Editor-in-Chief of
the Journal of Cosmology he has dedicated several editions of his Journal to the
topic of the Physics of Consciousness and has attempted to broaden the scope of
scientific inquiry to include the nature of consciousness and the Universe of
Universes.
Dr. Jon Klimo: Dr. Klimo is the Co-Chair of the FREE Experiencer
Research Project and a member of its Board of Director. Dr. Klimo has taught
qualitative research methodology for over 40 years as a Full Professor in the
clinical program at the San Francisco Bay Area campus of The American Schools
of Professional Psychology, Argosy University.
Jon has also chaired
approximately 250 academic doctoral dissertations since starting as a professor at
Rutgers University in 1974. Of these, approximately 75 have completely or
primarily involved topics of parapsychology, the paranormal, consciousness
studies, spiritual/transpersonal studies, "new paradigm" science, and in the area of
the otherworldly/Ufology/Extraterrestriology. He has also lectured at over 100
conference and has appeared on more than 120 different radio and 20 different
television programs. Jon has published 3 academic books, "Channeling:
Investigations on Receiving Information from Paranormal Sources,
Handbook to the Afterlife, and Suicide: What Really Happens in the
Afterlife? and many dozens of peer-reviewed articles and papers. His website is:
www.jonklimo.com/index.html Dr. Klimo resides in Oakland, CA.
Dr. Dean Radin: Dean Radin, PhD, is Chief Scientist at the Institute of
Noetic Sciences (IONS). He earned an MS in electrical engineering and a PhD in
psychology from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Before joining the
research staff at IONS in 2001, he held appointments at AT&T Bell Labs,
Princeton University, University of Edinburgh, and SRI International. He is author
or coauthor of over 250 technical and popular articles, three dozen book chapters,
and three books including the best-selling The Conscious Universe
(HarperOne, 1997), Entangled Minds (Simon & Schuster, 2006), and the 2014
Silver Nautilus Book Award winner, Supernormal (Random House, 2013).

Dr. Claude Swanson: Claude Swanson was educated as a physicist at MIT
and Princeton University. During those years he worked at the MIT Science
Teaching Center, Brookhaven National Laboratory and a Virginia cyclotron in the
summer. At Princeton he received the National Science Foundation Fellowship and
Putnam Fellowship. For the last fifteen years, interspersed with his conventional
professional career in applied physics, Dr. Swanson has pursued investigations into
"unconventional physics." His principal interest has been unified field theory, the
so-called "Theory of Everything" which could explain the universe at the deepest
possible level. At the same time, thousands of out-of-body and near-death
experiences show that other dimensions and other realities do exist. Science is
discovering that, in the words of the pioneer Robert Monroe, "we are far more than
our physical bodies." Dr. Swanson is the author of The Synchronized Universe
and Science of the Afterlife.

Giorgio Piacenza: Giorgio was born in Lima, Per in 1961. At the age of
12, he began to participate in Western esoteric and Indian mystical groups while
attempting to maintain a spiritual and critical perspective. After a clear close up
UFO group experience in 1975, he began to befriend and participate with several
contactees, abductees and contact groups and until the present has consistently
researched many aspects the UFO and contactee phenomenon trying to maintain an
objective criterion. In 1987 he earned a degree in Sociology from Georgetown
University and, in 1990, two business certificates from John F. Kennedy
University. In 1991, Giorgio opened an import-export business and for a few years
gave some TV and radio interviews in the U.S. and Per. He continuously tries to
educate himself on a variety of subjects. In 2000, Giorgio became one of the
original civilian advisors to OIFAA, the Peruvian Air Forces Office of
Investigations of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena. Throughout the years, he has
critically delved into a wide-range of interests whose development and integration
could have long-term cultural repercussions, interests such as the mind-body
problem, rational, intuitive and esoteric metaphysics, cosmology, Andean
traditions, exopolitics, and physics. He has been a life-long student of integrative
theoretical models including (since1981) that of Ken Wilber. In 2009, Giorgio
completed a Certificate in Integral Theory through John F. Kennedy University
and has been writing essays on a variety of fields of inquiry which he strives to
integrate. In 2011 Giorgio became an advisor to the Exopolitics Institute and from
2013 to 2016, a civilian advisor to DIFAA, the Peruvian Air Forces Department of
Investigations of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena. Giorgio and his family live in
Peru.
