Constitutional Attorney | Harvard Law | Co-Founder, New Paradigm Institute

About

Daniel Sheehan is one of the most remarkable legal minds in American history — a Harvard Law-trained constitutional attorney who has been involved in some of the most consequential cases and social movements of the last half century. He represented the New York Times in the Pentagon Papers case. He was the chief counsel for the Iran-Contra Affair investigation. He worked with Karen Silkwood. He has also, for decades, been one of the legal architects of the UAP disclosure movement, briefing members of Congress, collaborating with insiders, and building the legal and political infrastructure for a formal acknowledgment of non-human intelligence. His New Paradigm Institute provides the intellectual and legal framework for the paradigm shift that full disclosure would require — in law, science, theology, and governance. Sheehan speaks with the calm authority of a man who has seen the documents.

UFO Full Disclosure: Where Are We At Now?

A free introductory briefing on the current state of the UAP disclosure effort from the man who has been working it from the inside for decades.

[LECTURE]

The Mysterious Relationship Between UFOs & Human Consciousness

Among the many intriguing “issues” that are presented to our human family by our “encounters” with “The UFO Phenomenon”…and the “Beings” who appear to be the “Occupants” of these craft… ONE of these is the “alteration”…and then the eventual “heightening” or “expansion” …of the “state of consciousness” that one experiences as a result of such “encounters.” THIS “reality” is being experienced even by those who would seek to “attack”, “capture”, undertake to “reverse engineer”, and even deploy the technology of these UFO vehicles as weapons of war. What in the world is “going on” that is causing this effect? And what does this have to do with “Human Spirituality”… and even the different “Religious” Traditions that have been developed by our species?

Author, Communion | Experiencer | Podcast Host, Dreamland

About

Whitley Strieber is the author of Communion, the 1987 account of his abduction experiences that became a global phenomenon, selling millions of copies and fundamentally shaping the public understanding of alien contact. The image on its cover — a gray alien with enormous dark eyes — became one of the most iconic images of the 20th century. Strieber has continued to write, research, and experience for the four decades since, producing a body of work that explores the deepest dimensions of the contact phenomenon: its relationship to death, transformation, and what he calls 'the others.' His podcast Dreamland has been running for over 20 years and remains one of the most intelligent voices in the UAP space. Unlike many researchers, Strieber makes no claim to have all the answers — but he has been asking the right questions longer than almost anyone.

Army Intelligence Officer | Pioneer of Military Remote Viewing | Author, Reading the Enemy's Mind

About

Major Paul H. Smith (U.S. Army, Ret.) is one of the original members of the military's top-secret remote viewing program — codenamed STARGATE — that ran from the 1970s through the 1990s under the direction of the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency. Trained directly under Ingo Swann, the man who developed Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV), Smith became one of the program's most accomplished viewers and its primary protocol trainer. His book Reading the Enemy's Mind is the definitive insider account of how the U.S. military used psychic espionage as an intelligence tool during the Cold War — and why it worked. He holds a PhD in philosophy from the University of Texas and runs RVIS Inc., providing remote viewing training and consulting to government, corporate, and individual clients. At CITD 2026, he is offering both a lecture on telepathy and a highly practical intensive that will teach participants a real, deployable remote viewing skill.

Awakening Human Abilities: Telepathy, Remote Viewing, and Limitless Potential

In the realm of expanded consciousness, psionic capabilities push beyond the limits of conventional science, challenging long-held assumptions about the nature of the mind. Some are born with psychic abilities fully activated, while others believe with intention and practice, potential for intuitive perception can be developed. The ultimate question remains: could these extraordinary gifts exist within us all, waiting to be awakened?
