Celestial Codes: How an Astrophotographer Became an ET Contactee

When COVID lockdowns hit in 2020, Lily Nova was a nutritionist with a camera and zero interest in UFOs. By November of that year, a diamond-shaped craft hovered a few houses down from her Missouri home, moved erratically, then vanished directly overhead. "I was shaking," she told the room during her live-streamed Celestial Codes event. "It changed everything for me."

What followed was a journey from complete spiritual novice to daily ET contactee—a transformation she calls going "from zero to 100 real quick." Now a bestselling author, cosmic channel, and CE5 practitioner, Lily shared her footage, her story, and the activations her star family taught her with an audience hungry to remember their own celestial origins.

How Does an Astrophotographer Become a Cosmic Channel?

Lily's path began with heartbreak and surrender. After quitting her dream job as a dietetics professional, she turned to the stars—literally. Armed with a camera and telephoto lens, she spent countless nights photographing the Pleiades and Andromeda Galaxy, falling "absolutely in love" with the cosmos. She had no idea Pleiadians were watching.

"There's a picture of me with my camera. There's a photo that I took of the Pleiades," she explained, showing the star cluster she'd captured before knowing Pleiadian beings would soon make contact. "It's really funny how the universe sets these things up and gives you breadcrumbs to follow on your path, and then it all ends up coming full circle."

After that first November encounter, ships started "popping up left and right." Lily became an investigator overnight, spending entire days and nights alone in cornfields with her camera, documenting craft that would appear on request. "I literally spent all day and all night doing this for a year," she said. "My family probably thought I was insane."

But the footage speaks for itself. She showed the room clip after clip: a hovering craft emitting beams of light at ground level, golden orbs appearing within five minutes of setting intention, black triangles blipping in and out of a single time-lapse frame at a public park in broad daylight. A MUFON investigator analyzing her raw files discovered a seven-year time anomaly between consecutive photos—evidence, remote viewers later confirmed, of time travel or wormhole passage.

What Happens When Star Family Starts Training You?

Two months after her first sighting, Lily sat in her car surrounded by cornfields when she got "this strange feeling" she wasn't alone. Lights appeared to her right, her left, behind her—then a craft materialized directly in front of her windshield, close enough to touch. She filmed for hours, not yet understanding she was being "downloaded and upgraded."

The real shift came in April 2021, during her first intentional CE5 session with a friend. A golden orb appeared within five minutes. When Lily closed her eyes and asked to communicate, she received a telepathic vision: "a woman with light blue skin and no hair" wearing a silver uniform, with crew members behind her aboard a ship. "I'd never seen anything like this. I'd never even seen Star Trek. I didn't know what a starseed was."

The being's name was Talia—an Andromedan from the Andromedan Council, part of Lily's star family. From that moment, Talia became her daily mentor. "The first sentence that Talia told me was, 'Your heart chakra needs some work,'" Lily laughed. "I was like, wow, ETs are telling me to work on my heart chakra. I wasn't expecting that."

The training was intensive. Talia and other star beings—Pleiadians, Sirians, Inner Earth contacts—instructed Lily to meditate "like a monk." Some days she barely ate or drank, spending all day receiving upgrades, clearing past-life traumas ("burned at the stake as a witch" is a common theme among starseeds, she noted), and activating what she calls "superhuman" gifts.

"Your ears might ring, which is a sign of higher dimensional beings being around," she explained. "I would feel just my consciousness expanding. You start getting all these downloads, and I would experience this profound love that would literally just make me cry."

She began seeing light beings with her camera, capturing rainbow-lit Pleiadian projections in her workspace and geometric "Rubik's cube" orbs during sessions with the ascended master Thoth. During one profound solar plexus activation, she learned: "We are literally mini creator gods walking around."

Can Anyone Activate Their Celestial Codes?

The heart of Lily's presentation wasn't just her story—it was the practical transmission. She walked the room through three major activations her star family taught her, emphasizing that "anybody can do this."

Heart chakra work: "Your heart is the key," Lily said, echoing Jesus, who appeared to her in meditation despite her non-religious background. "The kingdom of heaven is within you... Christ would not be returning as a physical being. It's the return of Christ consciousness within you. It's a state of being."

DNA activation: "Scientists say that 95% of our DNA is junk DNA when that's bogus. It's really just dormant DNA." She explained that humans carry genetics from at least 22 extraterrestrial races, holding gifts, ancestral trauma, past-life abilities, and Akashic information. Through mantras, affirmations, and intention, "you can literally become whoever you want to be, create whatever you want to create."

Merkaba light body: Lily led a live activation, guiding everyone to visualize the golden pyramid geometry of their merkaba, connected to the solar plexus. "With every breath, you are breathing more light and power and strength into your merkaba. Feel yourself becoming stronger, more energized... protected."

The room palpably shifted. "Did you guys feel yourself becoming stronger just in that moment?" she asked. Heads nodded.

Lily also shared stunning footage from her Sedona and Mount Shasta retreats—a massive silver ship flying over participants on the final night, a golden orb descending from the sun to circle a meditation group at Bell Rock ("a whole council" of beings, she later intuited). She's captured light codes, rainbow energies, and activating frequencies in these high-vortex locations where "the veil is very thin."

Her downloads about Sedona revealed crystalline temples in the 5D over Bell Rock (built by the Anunnaki, part of Atlantis), a Pleiadian stargate at Cathedral Rock, and a disabled Inner Earth portal she's been tasked with repairing. "We all have this special divine blueprint, each one of us unique. We're bringing in unique frequencies and unique keys that help unlock things."

She spoke about the solar storms currently "pounding" Earth with light, the red aurora over Sedona on 11/11 (fulfilling Hopi prophecy of "a red sign in the sky"), and Comet 339 Atlas—which she's contacted and confirmed is actually a ship, "a conscious being" acting as a frequency conduit, dismantling matrix technologies on Saturn and the Moon, and "giving the whole system a reboot."

"Nothing can stop what's coming," Lily said with quiet certainty.

For anyone feeling the call to connect with their star family, to activate dormant abilities, or simply to remember they're not alone, Lily's message is clear: the tools are within you, the support is all around you (even if cloaked), and the time is now. "Contact isn't somewhere that's far away. It's happening right here, right now, and it's happening on a very individual level. Anybody can make contact. Anybody can connect with their star family."
