CE5 Contact provides instructions and tools to assist you in making peaceful contact with extraterrestrial civilizations as well as locating others in your area who are interested in making contact. The CE5 protocols were developed by Dr. Steven Greer, one of the world’s foremost authorities on the subject of UFOs, extraterrestrial intelligence and technologies, and initiating peaceful contact with interstellar civilizations. Dr. Greer’s relentless efforts towards the disclosure of classified UFO/ET information have inspired millions of supporters around the world. App features: - Official training materials developed by Dr. Greer - CE5 Guide, which provides an overview of all topics surrounding CE5 - CE5 Process, which walks users step-by-step through all aspects of initiating CE5 - Built-in networking functionality for finding and messaging others interested in CE5 - Comprehensive equipment list - Extensive library with video, images, audio samples, and meditations Notes: For active use of the app outdoors during CE5 work where connectivity may be limited, CE5 Contact includes offline mode for the CE5 Process section as well as local storage of previously visited pages or played/downloaded content. CE5 Contact 2.0 and later also allows users to manually download tones and meditations from the Library. Certain sections of the app require an active internet connection, including user sign-up / profile editing, networking, and messaging.

This is made possible by serving Google Ads to searchers—whether they click the ad or not, their data is plotted to the app, while being washed of all personal identifiers. This method of tracking UAP/UFO sightings is unmatched in terms of speed, volume, and privacy (this app doesn’t rely on sighting reports, which are often slow, and discrepant with actual sightings). Searches are currently tracked across the 10,000 most-populated US cities. Each sighting marker on the map represents aggregate data for that specific date / date-range.
