What we’re about
Welcome to Vancouver UFO & Preparing for Contact
Buddha taught that the three highest blessings in life are
- Don’t keep company with fools
- Keep company with the wise
- Honour those worthy of honour
In the spirit of the Buddha’s teaching to “honour those worthy of honour,” we recognise those who, through skill, discipline, and unwavering resolve, have safeguarded humanity from premature disclosure of extraterrestrial realities. Whether through national security service, scientific stewardship, or classified research, these individuals bore a burden few could comprehend.
Explore the fascinating world of UFOs and extraterrestrial encounters with us. This is a space for curious minds and passionate researchers to come together, exchange insights, and share personal experiences related to ET contact and the unexplained. We dive into evidence, discuss theories about why extraterrestrials are engaging with humanity, and examine how these phenomena may be influencing society and consciousness.
Our group is also a welcoming community for those who may feel isolated in their interest—here, you’ll find like-minded people and the opportunity to form lasting friendships.
Whether you’ve spent years investigating these topics or you’re just beginning your journey, you’re invited to be part of meaningful conversations that challenge the limits of conventional thinking.
We regularly host meetups, talks, and guest speakers, and we’re cultivating a strong in-person community in Vancouver. Access to Zoom, from our in person meetings is unavailabe due to a lack of volunteers but we have the technology and the money- no problem.
Not located nearby? That’s okay—there are still ways to get involved!
Online Community and Participation
We’re building an online community open to everyone with an interest in UFOs, extraterrestrials, and the deeper questions of contact and consciousness. You don’t need to be a ufologist to get involved. If you're interested in hosting a meeting or sharing your perspective, simply reach out to our organizer, Brian.
Brian Ruhe founded the Vancouver UFO Meetup on June 3, 2009 and he has developed a unique school of thought within ufology, but this Meetup welcomes all viewpoints. We encourage respectful dialogue, and all voices are welcome to participate and be heard. You can explore Brian’s evolving research and ideas here:
👉 Brian Ruhe's ET Hypothesis and Sources . Harvard-Smithsonian Astrophysicist Dr. Rudy Schild Endorses this, writing that Brian presents a factual basis more comprehensive than any he has ever seen. Brian updated this thesis on July 24th, 2025 and he asks that members read it here: An ET Hypothesis and Sources

Zoom Etiquette
We hold frequent online meetings—usually on weekends or whenever our guests and hosts are available.
To make things easy, we use a passcode-enabled Zoom room, which allows you to bypass the waiting room entirely.
📌 Zoom Guidelines:
• Please mute your microphone when not speaking—this helps improve the quality for those editing and watching the videos later.
• If you prefer not to appear on camera, simply turn your video off.
At in person Meetups about half of the members have requested that they not be seen in photos or videos. Some talks will be videotaped so please do not attend if you don't want your voice in the video. Members are requested to leave comments after the event, on that event page and please take your own videos and photos and load them there too. Rooms will be divided with people who don't want to be filmed, on one side, and those who are courageous enough not to give a shit, on the other side.
Brian will give out free copies to the first 33 people who show up at any meeting unless he forgets to do this. His book is: https://www.amazon.ca/SHORT-WALK-ANCIENT-PATH-Exploration-ebook/dp/B007RFLZ7I/ref=sr_1_1?sr=8-1

Vancouver UFO & Preparing for Contact Meetup
📅 Wednesday, August 20th
🕕 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM Pacific
📍 On Zoom
Join us for a provocative evening with Pete Papaherakles, a longtime contributor to the American Free Press and The Barnes Review, as we explore some of the more controversial and hidden aspects of our world.Pete has family members who are Scientologists and he brings a nuanced, firsthand perspective on L. Ron Hubbard’s uncanny knowledge of underground alien bases on Earth. Whether through insight or access, Hubbard seemed to know something—and Pete will help us unpack it.
Unrelated—or perhaps very related—is Pete’s deep research into the dark reptilian forces believed by many to have manipulated human history for centuries.
There’ll be plenty to fill the first 40 minutes, followed by open questions and discussion, moderated by our organizer, Brian, who has hosted over 150 videos with Pete “The Godfather” Papaherakles since 2017. You can find some of those videos on the "Pete Papaherakles" playlist on the "Brian Ruhe" YouTube channel.

Michael has developed a number of contacts which have had first hand experience dealing with classified “black programs”, including former USAF pilots, retired Naval personnel, and aerospace engineers that have maintained a TOP SECRET SCI (Sensitive Compartmented Information) clearance.
His first Meetup with us was in May 2024 in these videos:
