Patricia Cori

Patricia Cori is a San Francisco Bay Area-born author, spiritual teacher, and self-described contactee whose work centers on claimed communications with a group of interdimensional beings known as the Sirian High Council. Immersed in the New Age Movement since its inception in the early 1970s, Cori emerged as a prominent voice in contemporary contactee literature through her prolific publications, international media presence, and teachings on extraterrestrial contact and planetary consciousness.

The Contact Experience

According to Cori's account, her transformative contact began in July 1996 during a visit to a crop circle site in England. During an extraordinary out-of-body journey, she claims to have been reconnected with sixth-dimensional light beings from the Sirian system—described as a highly evolved extraterrestrial civilization existing in dimensions beyond conventional human perception. Through this ongoing communication, she reports receiving teachings about Earth's true history, the origins of humanity through multiple extraterrestrial civilizations, the lost continent of Atlantis, the Anunnaki, the planet Nibiru, and prophecies concerning humanity's collective awakening and ascension into higher dimensional consciousness.

Cori frames her contact experience within the broader starseed mythology—the belief that many humans are incarnate extraterrestrials here to assist Earth's evolutionary transition. Her role, as she describes it, is to be a conduit for Sirian wisdom intended to help raise planetary consciousness during a critical period of human history.

Publishing and Influence

Since 1996, Cori has authored twelve to fourteen books detailing her claimed communications and offering interpretations of Sirian teachings on contemporary global issues. Her primary works constitute "The Sirian Revelations" series, beginning with No More Secrets, No More Lies: A Handbook to Starseed Awakening, followed by The New Sirian Revelations: Galactic Prophecies from the Sixth Dimension and Atlantis Rising: The Struggle of Darkness and Light. Her broader body of work includes Beyond the Matrix: Daring Conversations with Brilliant Minds of Our Times, which explores intersections between her extraterrestrial contact claims, string theory, UFO phenomena, crop circles, Egyptian mysticism, and ecological consciousness.

Published through major mainstream houses including North Atlantic Books (part of Penguin-Random House), Weiser Books, and Inner Traditions, her publications have reached audiences across more than twenty-two languages, suggesting substantial circulation within esoteric and New Age communities worldwide. The breadth of her distribution through established publishers distinguishes her work from purely self-published contactee literature, lending it visibility and credibility within certain spheres.

Media and Teaching

Cori maintains an active presence in alternative media and the lecture circuit. She has appeared as a regular guest on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, one of the most widely syndicated paranormal radio programs in North America, reaching millions of listeners. She has also featured in CNN interviews and other broadcast media, making her one of the more publicly visible contemporary contactees. Beyond radio and television, Cori hosts her own program, Beyond the Matrix, and conducts international workshops and courses drawing audiences interested in extraterrestrial contact, consciousness studies, and spiritual transformation.

She is recognized by indigenous spiritual teachers—particularly from Tibetan, Mayan, and Peruvian traditions—as a gifted shaman, and serves as a guide to sacred sites, positioning herself within a syncretic spiritual framework that bridges extraterrestrial contact claims with terrestrial indigenous wisdom. This cross-cultural approach appeals to audiences seeking integration of galactic mythology with ancient Earth mysteries.

Credibility and Reception

Cori's work remains firmly within the fringe category of UFO studies and contact literature. Her claims of ongoing interdimensional communication with the Sirian High Council are not independently verifiable and rest entirely on her testimony and the consistency of her narratives across multiple publications. The contactee genre—of which Cori is a prominent contemporary exemplar—is widely regarded by mainstream science and skeptical UFO researchers as lacking empirical support or objective corroboration.

However, within New Age, esoteric, and alternative spirituality communities, her work has gained significant traction. Her books are widely distributed through spiritual bookstores and online platforms, and her media appearances position her as an authority on extraterrestrial contact in alternative circles. She represents a modern iteration of the contactee movement that flourished in the 1950s–1960s through figures like George Adamski and Truman Bethurum, updated for contemporary audiences interested in consciousness studies, planetary transformation, and galactic diplomacy.
