Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

  1. What is The Great Download?

    The Great Download is an experiment to explore the possibility of receiving messages from the mysterious “drones” (Also known as UFO, UAP, NHI) seen around the world.

    The experiment is conducted through collective, mass meditation on predetermined days and times so we can amplify our energy and consciousness together. (Think of it as all of our energy coming together to create a large antenna capable of receiving messages potentially being broadcasted to us.)

  2. What is the goal of this project?

    Our goal is to raise our consciousness, connect as a group, and see if we can collectively receive any information, experiences, feelings, images, or insights from these phenomena, known as “downloads”.

  3. Why are the “drones” (UFOs) important?

    These flying objects have been seen to exhibit behavior and technology beyond anything we know, leading many to believe they may carry a deeper purpose or message.

  4. Do I need to believe in aliens to participate?

    Not at all! This is about curiosity, open-mindedness, and the power of collective meditation, no matter what you believe.

  5. Is this a religious or spiritual group?

    Not at all. This is an open experiment for anyone curious about exploring consciousness and connection, regardless of background or beliefs. Any and all religions are welcome. Meditation is for everyone.


Meditation and Participation

  1. Do I need experience in meditation?

    Not at all, anyone can join! We provide resources and guidance to help you get started. And of course, those with deep experience in meditation are of course welcome as well.

  2. How do I participate in the experiment?

    Join us by subscribing to the newsletter and/or our Facebook group, and meditate at the scheduled days/times we post on Facebook wherever you are in the world, whenever you can make it.

  3. Do I need to live near the drone sightings?

    Not at all. This is a global experiment; your location doesn’t matter. However, our aim for this experiment is to get as many people as possible located in the “hot spots” where there is a lot of UFO activity to participate.

  4. What type of meditation should I do?

    Any type you feel comfortable with! We suggest sound meditation, intention-setting, or any method that resonates with you. We provide you with meditation resources on this site to help you get started if you are new. Additionally, we may provide information on various types of meditations so we can experiment with different methods together and see if we’re able to receive anything from the drones/UFO/NHI, etc.

  5. How long should I meditate?

    There’s no set time, meditate for as long as feels right for you, whether that’s 10 minutes or an hour. Our schedule meditations are for one hour (or longer if you wish to do so), but you do not have to meditate that long. Just do what feels right.


The Experiment

  1. What if I don’t experience anything during meditation?

    That’s completely fine! If you are new, it is normal and expected for it to take some time for your brain to learn how to fully let go. It takes practice. The act of meditating itself brings personal and collective benefits, even without receiving a specific message. We do not know if this mass meditation will bring downloads to anyone or everyone, but that’s what this experiment is all about. Lets see what is possible.

  2. What happens if we receive a message?

    Can you imagine!? It could change how we see ourselves, proving that we can connect on a higher level with something greater. We’ll share insights as a group to explore the meaning. But at the least, it will change humanity in many, many ways, not to mention we have proved that beings/aliens/a greater intelligence has been trying to communicate with us, and we achieved it.

  3. What if no message comes?

    The experiment still has immense value. It fosters peace, builds community, and raises awareness, creating positive change even without a specific message or downloads. Life can be stressful, use this time to calm and relax.

  4. Are there scheduled meditations?

    Yes, we’ll announce days and times through our newsletter and Facebook group.

  5. How will I know if I’ve received a message?

    Messages (also known as downloads) might come as images, words, feelings, or insights. There’s no right or wrong – share your experience in our Facebook group and we can all explore patterns. We are looking for several people or even everyone involved receiving the same messages/downloads to call this experiment a success. And if we succeed, we then move to the next phase of our experiment: Communicating back to them.
 


Safety and Technology

  1. Is this connected to the government or any organization?

    Absolutely not, this is an independent, community-driven project with zero affiliations to any Government or even non-Government organization. This is self-run, self-funded, and the only “connection” we have is when you and everyone meditates with us.

  2. Is there any risk in participating?

    None at all. Meditation is a safe, calming practice with many personal benefits and has been shown to have many health benefits as well.

  3. How do you know the drones (UFO, UAP) are sending messages?

    We don’t know for sure. That’s why this experiment exists, to explore the possibility with an open mind. We will all be working together in our Facebook group to share experiences and see if anyone is experiencing anything that we should explore deeper and possibly duplicate.

  4. Can meditation really help us connect with these drones (UFO, UAP)?

    Meditation has been shown to raise consciousness and awareness, opening the possibility of receiving information we can’t access through normal means. There have been a lot of reports, admissions to the Government by “whistle blowers” that consciousness may play a small to very large role in UFO and non-human intelligence. We hope to solve this once and for all.

  5. What makes this different from other meditation groups?

    This is the first meditation group we know of that has ever run this type of experiment, especially on a local and global scale. This is a unique global experiment combining meditation with the mystery of these drones, UFOs, UAP. It’s about exploring the unknown together in a completely new way. Based on our research and knowledge, this is the first mass meditation experiment designed to open the lines of communication to NHI (non-human intelligence) by means of raising our awareness and consciousness. We hope this inspires others to experiment and share their findings as they attempt to communicate with intelligent life (or non-life forms, such as AI not from Earth).


Science Behind It

  1. How does meditation raise vibrations?

    Meditation helps calm the mind, focus intentions, and align energy, allowing individuals to access heightened states of awareness and potentially tap into higher frequencies.

  2. Has group meditation been proven to have real-world effects?

    Yes, studies show group meditation can reduce stress, improve collective well-being, and even lower crime rates in certain areas when practiced with shared intent. There have been experiments in the past that have proven the validity of group/mass meditation.


Community and Connection

  1. What kind of people are joining this experiment?

    People who are curious, open-minded, and passionate about exploring the unknown while creating a more peaceful and connected world. We keep things positive and up lifting. We have a zero-tolerance negativity (as well as religion or politics) rule in our Facebook group.

  2. Can I share my meditation experience with others in the group?

    Absolutely! That’s what this is all about. Sharing your experience is encouraged and may reveal patterns or insights that deepen our collective understanding. Not only that, but sharing your experience is the only way we can see if this experiment works. So yes, please share your experiences with us.

  3. How will the community stay connected after the experiment?

    Through the newsletter and Facebook group, we’ll continue fostering connections, sharing updates, and exploring new meditative opportunities. We do not know how long this experiment will run, just as we don’t know how long the UFOs will be flying around. They may all just disappear in a few days or a few weeks. Or they may continue to expand over other areas around the world. We will be here regardless of what happens.


Ethical Considerations

  1. Is this experiment trying to exploit the phenomenon for personal gain?

    Not at all. This is a community-driven project with no financial agenda beyond maintaining resources to run the website and Facebook group. In the future, we hope to develop additional tools and resources for meditation and to run additional experiments on much larger scales, pending how this one goes. The focus is on collective exploration and connection.

  2. How do you ensure participants’ experiences are respected?

    We encourage an open and supportive environment where everyone’s insights are valued, free of judgment or dismissal. This is absolutely critical. We want to ensure you have a safe environment filled with like-minded people who are interested in having experiences through meditation and raising the collective consciousness globally.


The Drones, UFOs, UAP and Unexplained Phenomena

  1. How do the drones behave, and why do you think they might be sending messages?

    The drones (UFOs) move in ways no publicaly known technology can replicate, often appearing coordinated. Their presence inspires the possibility that they may be trying to communicate. We have felt something shift and have seen others mention this feeling online as well. We know we are not the only ones who deeply feel that something is happening and shifting. This is what inspired us.

  2. Are these sightings happening globally, or just in specific areas?
    Sightings have been reported worldwide, suggesting a pattern that transcends any single region.


Skeptics and Open-Mindedness

  1. Do I need to believe in this experiment for it to work?

    Not at all. This experiment is about curiosity and participation, regardless of belief.

  2. What do you say to skeptics who think this is a waste of time?

    Even skeptics can benefit from the peace, clarity, and connection that meditation provides; it’s a win regardless of the outcome.


Practicalities

  1. Can I meditate at a different time if I can’t join the scheduled one?

    Yes, you can meditate whenever works for you, though joining at the scheduled time adds to the collective energy that we are trying to hardness to see if we are able to pick up on anything the UFOs are trying to send us. (We of course do not know if they are for sure, it is an assumption, hence why this is an experiment.)


  2. Do I need any special equipment or tools to participate?

    No, all you need is a quiet space and the willingness to focus. If you’d like, you can use optional tools like headphones, meditation music, or a journal to enhance your experience. For those who are in areas where the craft are flying overhead, consider sitting by a window or going outside (pending weather) so you are close to them.

  3. Can I involve my friends or family in the experiment?

    Absolutely! The more people who join, the stronger our collective energy becomes. Feel free to invite anyone who might be interested. At the end of the day, we are aiming to have tens of thousands of people meditating at the exact same time, as many times as we can make happen, to run these experiments. However, even with just a handful of us to start, that may be all it takes to start to move the needle. Please feel free to share our website and our Facebook group as much as you’d like on social media, with friends, family, and co-wokers.
