How to Start Communicating: The Yes/No Signals.
Most people think communication with non‑human intelligences would be complicated, dramatic, or mystical. As you can read in Meet the Aliens, it isn’t. It’s physical, it’s real‑world, and it’s simple enough that you can try the method yourself tonight.
This isn’t a story. This is a lesson — a practical one — and it’s easy.
If you’re reading this, I want you to try it. The book is finished and out there if you need more info on this. The framework is laid out in black and white. The only thing left is for you to step outside and begin exploring it for yourself.
Is the weather good? Clear sky? Mostly cloud‑free?
Then what are you waiting for.
Spend an hour under the night sky and see what you notice. Relax and don’t overthink it. Don’t wait for certainty. Don’t wait for someone else to go first. The sky is right there, and the method is simple. Just be patient and keep at it.
In the system I describe, a flash of light across the sky represents yes, and a sudden shutting off of light represents no. This was pretty straight forward and came about from regular interaction and me wanting simple answers to questions. I guess it was kind of a collaborative arrangement.
Watch the arc of the trajectory. Satellites move in straight, predictable lines. They don’t curve at all. They don’t brighten in response to you. They don’t blink or dull in perfect timing with your questions.
Speak. Ask. Observe. Confirm.
For example, “Hi there, my name’s Susan. I have a question: (Insert question here.) That’s my question for the night. I’ll be out here for a while. I hope to see you soon.”
Start with one question for now and keep it simple.
This is the first lesson. And you can start it tonight.
The Basic Signals: Yes and No
Communication begins with two physical signals you can observe with your own eyes — at least, within the framework of the contact method described in the book.
YES / AFFIRMATIVE
A flash of light across the sky. Sharp. Deliberate. Controlled. Not a twinkle. Not a flicker. A flash like the light on a ship moving very fast — almost meteor‑like.
Last night, when I let the dogs out at three in the morning, I stepped outside for a moment. I asked a simple question — and the reply was a long, bright flash halfway across the sky. To me, it felt like: “Yes, we wholeheartedly agree.”
It was cold, I was in my pyjamas, and I only stayed out for ten minutes — but the flash was clear. In my experience, the affirmative streak of light often comes with a distinct positive feeling. This one was very positive.
NO / NEGATIVE
A shutting off of light. A sudden dulling or disappearance. Like someone flicked a switch.
For example, I once asked a ship if they’d ever had a roasted marshmallow. We had been melting marshmallows out by the fire pit that night. Not surprisingly, they said no by blinking their light out. I told them they were missing out.
In my experience, ships often fly overhead or nearby, lit up just enough to be seen. A simple greeting is enough to acknowledge them. When the light cuts out abruptly, that’s the negative signal. It’s often accompanied by a subtle negative feeling — something worth noting.
These two signals are the foundation. Everything else builds from them.
You don’t need telepathy to start. You don’t need meditation, but it helps. It’s always a good thing. And you don’t need belief.
You need your eyes, your attention, and a willingness to communicate.
How to Tell It’s Not a Satellite
Satellites move in straight, predictable lines. They don’t arc or turn sharply. They don’t brighten and dim in response to you. They don’t flash on request.
When you’re watching the sky, pay attention to:
Arc of trajectory — any curve or directional change stands out.
Blinking — not aviation blinking, but intentional bright/dull pulses.
Brightening — sudden intensity increases that feel timed.
Dulling — blinking out that seems to match your question or thought.
If you see these behaviours, you’re not looking at a satellite. You’re observing something that fits the pattern described in the book. Over an hour or two, I often see a dozen or more of these. Patterns emerge quickly.
How to Begin the Conversation
You don’t need to be outside for hours. You don’t need special conditions. You just need a clear view of the sky. Try just after dark when the stars come out.
Look up. Watch the stars. Find a moving point of light. Don’t overthink it.
Speak. Out loud or in your mind — both work within this method.
Ask a simple yes/no question. “Can you hear me?” “Are you there?” “Is this you?”
Watch for the response. Flash = yes. Shut off = no.
Confirm it. Ask again. “Can you repeat that please?”
Don’t escalate yet. Keep it simple. Stay with yes/no. This is the first lesson.
Speak normally — like you would to your friend Janet at school pickup. Polite, clear, conversational.
Within the framework of this practice, responses come quickly.
Why This Works
Binary communication is universal. It’s the simplest possible shared language.
In the system I describe, they already use it. You already perceive it — you just haven’t recognised it as communication until now. This is an easy way for them to communicate with humans.
And because the signals are physical and visible, it feels like speaking to someone across a table. You’re both present. You’re both aware. You can see the response.
Once you recognise it, everything changes.
Your Goal
Your goal is not merely to follow this path step by step. Your goal is to surpass it and eventually push the boundaries of communication.
It took me a couple of years to understand what was happening and sort out regular communication. You don’t need years. You have hindsight, structure, and instruction.
Start with yes/no. Start with the physical signals. Start with the sky.
This is just the first lesson. More will follow — and if you want the full framework (so far), it’s in the book.
But you don’t need to wait. You can begin tonight.
Choose something simple and clear. Avoid qualifiers or complex phrasing. Remember you want a clear yes/no answer.
Try this:
“Is there an ET base on the Moon?”
Let me know what you observe.
