Hi Alfred, to get to the silent and keep it silent - just stop verbal thinking - self-talk thinking. Use the sense of the silent flutter of the vocal cords as a mantra to stop verbal thinking. Then the Default mode network does all the work for you and will naturally take you into the silent mind. If you stay silent long enough your UFO friends might want to communicate with you. They know everything and will know of your passion for them as a friend and they might get in touch. I had a UFO experience and their communication is silent but very clear and tangible. I have never experienced "talking" with no sound - that is just how it was. Very tangible silent communication. Once they get in touch if they have not already with you, they will always look over you.
