In this fascinating interview, longtime iconic UFOlogist Jacques Vallée discusses his recent publication, “Forbidden Science 6: Scattered Castles, The Journals of Jacques Vallee 2010–2019,” which led him on a deeper, independent field exploration of UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) cases across Brazil, Argentina, Europe, and Russia.
Back in Silicon Valley, Vallée’s professional involvement with innovative business ventures continues to inspire new insights drawn from biology and information physics. He shares his perspectives on historical UAP crash retrievals, the current state of UAP research, and how the U.S. Government might be moving toward greater transparency regarding these phenomena.

-
Corrections in the first release of “TRINITY: The Best-Kept Secret”

BIO: Born in France in a family with long international traditions, Jacques studied mathematics at the Sorbonne, earned a Master’s degree in astrophysics at the University of Lille and was recruited to the first French team that tracked early artificial satellites at Paris Observatory. Moving to the U.S. in 1962, he pursued his passion for science working on NASA projects at the University of Texas in Austin (notably, coding the first computer-based map of Mars) before joining Northwestern University where he completed his PhD in artificial intelligence. Jacques continued his computing and entrepreneurial career at Stanford Research International and the Institute for the Future as one of the Principal Investigators on the early Internet before serving as a founder of a family of venture capital funds in Silicon Valley, specializing in information technology and biotech investments. The funds, including the first NASA venture fund, have financed 60 high-technology startups and led 20 companies (including several “unicorns”) to the public markets. Dr. Vallée remains an active high-tech investor in Silicon Valley while serving on the scientific advisory board of the French Space Agency’s group officially studying UFO reports. He has published his research in books that have been widely translated around the world. He was the real-life model for the character portrayed by François Truffaut in the film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

In 1980, The Roswell Incident by Charles Berlitz and William Moore was published that told the sensationalized story of a forgotten 1947 report by the U.S. Army Air Forces that they recovered a “flying disk” on a ranch in New Mexico, north of Roswell Army Air Field. This was also the year of the Rendlesham Forest Incident, which is sometimes referred to as “Britain’s Roswell” (December 26-28), and the Cash-Landrum Incident (December 29). The Cash-Landrum Incident is significant because the witnesses, Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum, and her grandson, Colby Landrum, showed symptoms of what seemed like radiation poisoning after they reportedly saw a large craft, seemingly in distress, being escorted by as many as 23 Chinook helicopters. While all of the above cases continue to be discussed and continue to fascinate, a case that got a lot of attention that same year has been largely forgotten. It is interesting to note that it also involved what seemed to be the effects of radiation on the witnesses prior to the Cash-Landrum incident.
Retired Army special forces operator, Lt. Col. Dr. John Blitch, PhD — a former Green Beret, Special Forces officer, and DARPA scientist — shares shocking revelations on non-human intelligence, military encounters, and exotic technologies. He discusses his past, his connection through his dad on the UFO topic, and a mind blowing encounter while mountain biking, his optimism for humanity, and much more!
In this exclusive interview, Australian UFO researchers Roger Stankovic and Irene Previn delve into the mysterious 1966 Westall UFO Incident — one of Australia’s most compelling UFO sightings. Join us as they share their insights, explore their investigations in the United States at alleged UFO crash sites, and reveal their findings. Are we alone in the universe? Tune in to find out!
As far as well-known Australian UFO cases go, a 1988 report of an encounter in a desolate area known as the Nullarbor by the Knowles family, a mother and her three adult sons, is on a lot of lists, including 
When I mentioned to my Russian co-worker, Sasha (in the construction shop at the Metropolitan Opera), that I was going to write about a 1989 UFO, occupant, and robot report from Voronezh that got the world’s attention thanks to a Tass article he said, “Oh, yeah, there were all kinds of crazy reports in the newspapers back then. We didn’t take them seriously.” He explained that because of glasnost (the opening up of Russia to the West and loosening of restrictions under Gorbachev), news companies felt free to report on UFOs and other paranormal subjects that they knew would sell papers. He said they called papers that carried such stories “yellow papers.” My knowledge of the case came from sensationalized narratives on UFO websites, but after actually taking the time to find the original newspaper reports, it seems that the story is the result of a combination of over-zealous UFO researchers, credulous reporters, and perhaps less than scrupulous editors taking advantage of the new political climate.
In the fall of 1978, there seems to have been a flap in the comune (municipality) of Torrita di Siena in the Tuscany region of Italy from September 13th to the 20th. This is mentioned by Maurizio Verga in his introduction to the 
The first two years of the 1970s seems to have been a slow period for UFO reports, if the 1970 and 1971 UFO Chronology hosted on the National Investigations Committee on Arial Phenomena website is any indication, with the 
In this eye-opening interview, we dive deep into the shocking testimony of retired U.S. Air Force Captain Bob Salas, who has been at the forefront of the UFO disclosure movement. Salas, a former missile launch officer, has been pushing for the U.S. government to come clean about unexplained aerial phenomena (UAPs) and their potential implications. Salas famously reported an incident at Malmstrom Air Force Base in 1967, where a UFO allegedly disabled a fleet of nuclear missiles—an event that has remained one of the most compelling cases in UFO history. Could this be proof of extraterrestrial interference, or is there another explanation the government isn’t telling us? With growing pressure on military and government officials to disclose classified UAP encounters, Salas’ testimony raises serious questions about national security, government secrecy, and what we really know about these mysterious objects in our skies. Bob also speaks on his 1985 abduction experience.
New Jersey, as everyone in UFO world is aware, was ground zero for a full-on flap involving what most witnesses reported as mysterious drones. What’s noteworthy is that this same region was where residents panicked during Orson Welles’s radio production of The War of the Worlds in 1938. It’s also the area where there were two flaps in 1966, one in January and another in October, with the most dramatic reports centered around the Wanaque Reservoir. In this blog, we’ll focus on the January flap. At that time, several different investigators arrived on the scene, and as a result, there are several different versions of what happened.
