Date: June 11, 1994
Location: Santa Fe, New Mexico
Workshop Trainer: Wayne Peterson
Field Trainer (Coordinator): Lyssa Royal
Number of participants: 11
Conditions: Partly cloudy to the west, 70s., setting crescent moon.
Participants: Lyssa Royal, Wayne, Joan (Coordinator-in-Training), Dale, Mark, Natalie, Trudy, Norm, Tara, Kathleen, Alma

STATUS: Clear CE-5, witnessed by 10 people, audio recorded

Note: This was a field training, the very first one, given to the new Santa Fe working group by Lyssa Royal. That day and the previous one, workshop training was given by Wayne Peterson.

EVENTS: This night was filled with anomalous lights, especially several satellite-like objects approximately 30-50 miles above the earth. Several times the trajectories of these objects crossed simultaneously. Too many events to report each one. However, the most spectacular (CE-5) is as follows:

Our group had been using the high-powered light to point out satellite-like objects to group members so they could follow their trajectories. As Lyssa was doing this, she and two other members witnessed a dim red flash on two separate occasions when the object was signalled. Shortly after this, Natalie was using the high-powered light to point out another satellite-like object moving toward the east at about 30 degrees, away from us. She flashed it once to pin point its location to the group. Immediately upon signaling it once, it brightly illuminated itself (for approx one second) to the magnitude of Jupiter or brighter and continued upon its trajectory at approximately 30-50 miles above the earth. This event (and the group's real-time reaction) was "accidentally" recorded by Lyssa. The object continued upon its trajectory at its previous magnitude until it disappeared. The transcript of this real-time event is excerpted below:

Lyssa: [9:50pm] We've been tracking two satellite-like objects, one heading toward the north, one heading toward the east. The one heading toward the east was moving at a solid, steady trajectory when we were pointing [the light] at it to try to point out where it is... Whoa! Did you... Oh, my God! [Group yells and expresses their excitement.] Flash it! Flash it! Go! It flashed us very brightly. It is very high up. [Group continues to yell things like "All right!" etc.] Oh you guys, confirmed CE-5! I got this on tape, guys.

Mark: You know, I have seen a lot of satellites, but I've never seen one flash!

Lyssa: You guys, this is so exciting!

Mark: [continuing to track the object] I'm putting my hand at it...it's going by a very bright star right now... It is about the 6:00 position...

Lyssa: We first saw it flash us with a red light very dimly. But now, it flashed us once very brightly, as bright as Sirius or more.

Mark: It's trajectory isn't changing.

Natalie: There are tears coming out of my eyes!

Mark: It is fading...In fact I can't see it anymore in the binoculars. Is the tape going there? I have seen a lot of satellites in motion...I've tracked Mir and many others. I've never seen anything like this! I've never seen a satellite flash bright once like that. And also, this was right after we flashed it.

Natalie: There is always the possibility of flickering, but that was a bright flash.

Lyssa: It was a deliberate light flash.

Mark: That was very interesting! [Laughs]

Natalie: You [Lyssa] told me to flash it. That's when it did.

Lyssa: Yes. When Natalie flashed it, she was just actually pointing where it was. I saw it flash back red. So did Norm. Then, she was signaling, pointing it out, and at one point it flashed us very brightly. Is there anyone who didn't see this? [One member had their back turned]. Ten witnesses! CE-5, confirmed, ten witnesses! Excellent.

Mark: Also, I've never been satellite watching and seen one go one way and another go the exact opposite path. That was the one that flashed at us!

SUMMARY: A group of 10 people witnessed a high-altitude craft signal the group (in direct response to light work) very brightly, at the approximate magnitude of Jupiter. (9 witnesses saw the light as white. Lyssa saw it as whitish-amber.) Since at that altitude our lights may not be able to be distinguished from ground lights, we may assume that they were responding more to the consciousness rather than the lights. I've been working with a particular CTS which uses the projection mentally (and sometimes physically) of the colors red, green, blue. This particular CTS has consistently produced astounding results. Mentally, I received the information that the contact program is now going to be speeded up and more such events will occur with frequency. I have later found out that Shari's Denver group experienced a similar event the day previous to ours in the exact same part of the sky.

PRE-EVENT: Wayne dreamed Steven and he were flying in a strange contraption and SG was teaching Wayne how to "shoot" from this vehicle. Wayne also dreamed about an RMIT to Puerto Rico.

POST-EVENT: The morning after the above CE-5, Lyssa had the following dream: I was at a huge convention center with Keith and other CSETI members. We were reaching out to connect with ETs. People at the convention knew that we were trying to contact ETs. We had spread a blanket outside on convention grounds in the daytime, trying to make contact. One at a time, two older men (one Latino with a spanish accent) came to our circle to talk and give us messages. They wore poor imitations of Star Trek uniforms. I can't remember what we talked about but they claimed they were ETs. I doubted them so much and thought the convention people were setting us up to look like idiots. There were three ETs in total, 2 men and one woman. (This is the same as my remote view of "the event in the dunes" I had during RMIT training.) We exchanged gifts. I gave them a map of Arizona and New Mexico and marked on it where we were. I thought they were unimpressed with the gift and that confirmed they weren't really ETs. Later we had decided they were fake. The convention was giving out a door prize and the man pulling out the winner was one of the old ETs (male) without the uniform. I thought for sure that proved he was fake because he was out of costume. I won the prize, and when he gave it to me, he had a smug, pleased look. The prize was a cellular telephone! Then I woke up, realizing the obvious message of the dream for me.

Post-Event Note: Prior to this experience, my ET contact Sasha told our team that we could begin to expect CE-5 activity that would be repeated in a pattern, and be experienced by other CSETI teams in other locations as well. This was the first of three incidents of a satellite-like object signaling our team in direct response to signalling with nearly exactly the same field conditions. Sasha's information had come true just as she said.
