on the Frontlines of Contact with Non-Human Intelligence

Forerunner is a platform for those ready to move beyond passive speculation to actively assess the nature, intent, and implications of Non-Human Intelligence (NHI), both for themselves and for the human species.

Forerunner is a space for individuals who seek to personally respond to this emergent new reality—using logic, caution, instinct, and intuition—to decode the UFO enigma and help guide what may ultimately become our human engagement with other forms of intelligent life.

Guided by the work of Reed Summers and the EMERGENT Podcast, Forerunner offers structured learning and discussion, collaborative analysis and key tools and insights to fuel your active inquiry into the phenomenon and your exploration of what it means to claim personal agency as a forerunner in the new frontiers of human contact with non-human intelligence. 

  • Take the Intent Course: Dive into a comprehensive, structured course designed to analyze the behavior, motives, and potential intentions of NHI. Learn More about the Intent Course and Register for the 2025 Cohort.
  • Engage in Emergent Discussions: Engage in high-quality discussions with Reed Summers and expert guests on key topics related to Non-Human Intelligence, Disclosure and Citizen Action.
  • Gain fresh insight via the Forerunner Lab: A collaborative space where Key UAP and NHI data, indicators, signals and trends are shared in real-time and analyzed in a group setting.
  • Contribute to the Forerunner Knowledgebase (forthcoming): A presentation of key information and insights from a wide range of academic, operational and experiential disciplines we can use to examine the interface between humans and non-human entities.
  • Speculate and Theorize on the Forerunner Frontiers (forthcoming): An open forum to engage in productive theorizing and responsible speculation regarding the “known unknowns” of the human-NHI interface, including questions of geopolitical influence, psychic control, genetic intervention and technological seeding.

Perhaps most important—contribute to our collective human response: Help articulate the interpretive frameworks, Contact protocols, ethical guidelines, rules of engagement, exotechnology controls and security and sovereignty measures necessary to support humanity in safely and successfully navigating its collective interface with non-human intelligence.


Live and Self-Study Course

The founding feature of Forerunner is the course: Decoding Alien Intent taught by Reed Summers.

This course provides a framework for analyzing the presence and activities of NHI using structured methodologies, core evidence and indications as well as key insights from our human “knowledgebase” of established academic and operational knowledge.

Forerunner members who register will be invited to four live Zoom sessions, with access to post-session recordings, discussion threads, Q&A, and participation in a dedicated learning cohort—the only one planned for 2025. Register now.

Emergent Discussions

Dynamic weekly discussions guided by Reed Summers where discussions range from course material to breaking developments in NHI-related research. The discussions are categorized into:

  • Moderated Discussions – In-depth conversations on key topics such within the spaces of NHI, Disclosure, and Human Response, ensuring a focused and constructive exploration of these critical subjects.
  • Personal Encounters & Experiences – A dedicated space for firsthand testimonies and reflection.
  • Current Events & Analysis – Examining recent events, reports and disclosures.

Guest AMAs

The Forerunner AMA series opens a direct channel between Forerunner members and those on the leading edge of UAP/NHI research and analysis. These sessions are your chance to ask bold questions, clarify key issues, and gain exclusive insight from the most credible voices in the field.

What to Expect:

  • Moderated Q&As with curated guests in the NHI field
  • Transparent dialogue guided by logic, ethics, and discernment
  • Archived sessions for ongoing learning and reference
  • Member-submitted questions prioritized for depth and relevance

Forerunner Lab

The Forerunner Lab is a live intelligence feed, curating reports, sightings, and anomalies to fuel real-time assessment of Non-Human Intelligence (NHI). Members contribute to tracking signals, cross-referencing historical data, and refine our collective assessment of NHI presence and activity.

Inside the Lab:

  • Analyze new signals, sightings, and reports as they emerge
  • Connect the dots across time with historical data comparisons and pattern recognition

Forerunner exists to support you as you navigate the emergent terrain of our individual and collective human encounter with non-human intelligence and develop your own wise, intelligent and sovereign response to what may be the biggest event in human history, and one of the most significant opportunities and challenges of our time.b

By participating in Forerunner, you’re part of an emergent vanguard—individuals who are willing to confront the unknown with clarity, courage, and a commitment to humanity while tolerating and even embracing the unknowns and the nuanced and complex reality of our human encounter with NHI, and with whatever exists beyond.

The future needs forerunners. Thank you for joining me.
