Recently retired Army Col. Karl Nell decided: “There is a hierarchy of beings. Non-human intelligence interacts with humanity. This interaction is not new; it continues and there is no doubt about it.”
For researchers of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) and the broader issue of extraterrestrial contacts, the announcement was more than just an admission.
Unlike the often sensational declarations that dominate the Internet, Nell's words carry weight. He is a career military officer and consultant to the UAP task force, and his credibility makes his comments challenging to dismiss.
But the ramifications of his statement are not restricted to congressional hearings or secret briefings. They penetrate the broader fabric of human understanding, pointing to an intelligence that is both age-old and purposeful.
Nell's claim encourages us to consider not only whether we are alone, but also how such interactions, hidden in plain sight, have shaped humanity. More importantly, what does this continued interplay reveal about the motives of nonhuman intelligence (NHI)?
A hierarchy beyond our understanding
Nel's idea of a “hierarchy of beings” echoes throughout history. His employ of this term is striking in its universality. By speaking of “humanity,” rather than governments or individuals, he situates this interaction at a level that encompasses all of human existence.
Its concept finds a parallel in the work of Diana Pasulka, a researcher whose book entitled Meetings explores the intersection of faith and the UFO phenomenon.
Pasulka describes a taxonomy of beings proposed by pseudonymous researcher Tyler, placing God at the top, followed by angels, extraterrestrials, intelligence factions, ordinary people, and animals. This layered structure suggests not a messy cosmos, but a meticulously organized reality in which humanity's position is both modest and precarious.
Here is a quote from Pasulka's book “Meetings” (p. 180):
Pasulka: “When Tyler [alias for Timothy Taylor] when teaching others about his research, he often presented his taxonomy of entities, which was his cosmological worldview. In this hierarchy of beings, God was placed at the top. Then there were angels, and then extra-planetary beings. “Off-planet” is a term used by Tyler to refer to extraterrestrials.
Pasulka: “Below were “certain factions in the intelligence communities.” Below were ordinary people and then animals. He also had a very common phrase, which was “connect the dots.” When I asked him about the factions of people in the intelligence communities he mentioned that he believed were higher in the cosmological hierarchy than ordinary people, he told me to “connect the dots.”
For Karl Nell, interactions with NHI are not a relic of age-old myth or religious tradition, but a contemporary and ongoing phenomenon.
“There is no doubt,” he emphasizes, as if speaking from his own experience or knowledge of evidence the public has not yet seen. This certainty raises questions about the nature of these beings: are they spiritual messengers, advanced extraterrestrial civilizations, or something else?
The Butterfly Effect
The idea of a planned domino effect – where compact actions turn into large-scale social changes – is not recent. However, this concept takes on an otherworldly dimension when applied to NHI.
These beings are said to possess a level of foresight or foresight that allows them to “awaken” people at specific points in their lives, directing them on paths that influence countless others.
This strategy appears to bypass conventional power hierarchies. Rather than addressing world leaders, NHI interactions appear to be aimed at grassroots influencers – teachers, artists and ordinary people.
It is a bottom-up approach that bypasses entrenched government and corporate structures, favoring a more organic spread of ideas and awareness.
They bypass the guards. If this is a coordinated effort, it is intended to gradually awaken humanity in a way that cannot be suppressed.
Personal contact cost
For people like Kevin Day, the radar operator involved in the infamous 2004 USS Nimitz “Tic Tac” incident, exposure to NHI brought not enlightenment but anguish. Day described bright apocalyptic dreams – visions of comets, tsunamis and global catastrophes – that have haunted him for years.
“The dreams I started having in 2008 could loosely be described as eschatological,” he says he said. “They cause acute anxiety, and sometimes the intensity is overwhelming.”
Mario Woods, a former missile silo security officer, reported similar experiences. During a meeting in 1977, Woods saw creatures resembling the iconic “communion grays” depicted on the cover of Whitley Strieber's book. The event was accompanied by a “life review” and subsequent apocalyptic dreams that left him deeply shaken.
These accounts point to the double-edged nature of NHI interactions. While some experiencers describe feelings interconnections and spiritual awakening, others struggle with existential fear and psychological trauma. This discrepancy raises questions about the intentions and ethics of NHIs, assuming that NHIs are conscious participants in these events.
Why subtlety over spectacle?
The age-old question remains: If NHI exists, why not land it on the White House lawn? Theories abound, but one recurring idea is that humanity is simply not ready. Sudden disclosure can destabilize societies, challenge religious and scientific paradigms, and cause widespread panic.
John Mack, a Harvard psychiatrist who studied abduction phenomena, proposed that NHI activities resemble the gradual disclosure of:
“We tend to think of 'us' and 'them,' but one way to think about it is that there is some kind of meeting. This is the relationship and intelligence that connects us, it is not ours or theirs, but the motivational structure is at some higher level [dimension].
“And that they will get something from it, maybe some incarnation, some kind of biological evolution. And we get something that is an opening of our consciousness. Some kind of return to the sacred. So the whole thing is arranged not at our level. I really wonder if there isn't some other consciousness at work here, some kind of divine consciousness.
“The unforgivable sin of the Western mind is when something that should be in the spiritual world crosses the line and appears in the physical world,” Mack noted. “This movement is destroying belief structures, forcing people to confront a reality they are not ready to accept.”
This perspective suggests that the NHI strategy is not just about disclosure, but about transformation – a tardy and deliberate process of humanity's integration into a larger, multidimensional reality.
From this point of view, the goal is not only to reveal their existence, but also to raise human consciousness to a state capable of understanding and contacting it.
The clock is ticking
Despite the measured pace of this alleged interaction, time may not be on humanity's side. In the face of rising geopolitical tensions, ecological crises, and the ever-present threat of nuclear conflict, the stakes for both humanity and the NHI appear to be rising.
People like Daniel Sheehan and Luis Elizondo warn that this is urgent.
Daniel Sheehan: We must mobilize now to prepare for the extraterrestrial intervention that will occur soon. Life is occasional on the planet, and they won't let our species destroy it.
Sheehan, a legal supporter of UAP transparency, argued that humanity must prepare for what he calls “extraterrestrial intervention.”
Elizondo, a former Pentagon official, similarly emphasized that “time is a luxury we cannot afford.”
If the NHI has a vested interest in Earth's future – whether ecological, spiritual, or otherwise – their long game may soon collide with humanity's increasingly precarious position. The question remains: will we be ready?
