Blog: Jacques Vallée and John Keel Challenge the ETH

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear 

By the time Project Blue Book was terminated, most UFO researchers, especially in the United States, were of the opinion that UFOs were nuts and bolts craft piloted by flesh and blood creatures from other planets. This is what has become known as the extraterrestrial hypothesis or ETH. At around the same time, as the 1960s gave way to the 1970s, Jacques Vallée had one book published and John Keel had two published, that challenged the ETH, and caused many in the UFO community to consider other options.

Vallée had his first UFO book, Anatomy of a Phenomenon, published in 1965 and his second, Challenge to Science, co-written with his wife, Janine, published in 1966. Both books make the argument that the UFO mystery is worthy of scientific study and present the elements of the problem in an organized manner in an effort to facilitate such study. In what would become characteristic in Vallée’s books, he presents accounts going back to antiquity, and he presents a lot of them. The books are lengthy and dry and hold little appeal for the average UFO enthusiast looking for sensational accounts of sightings and encounters. Read more

This week on Podcast UFO, Martin Willis welcomes back legendary author and experiencer Whitley Strieber, best known for his landmark book Communion. In a wide-ranging conversation, Whitley shares his latest thoughts on UFOs, non-human intelligence, Roswell, disclosure, consciousness, artificial intelligence, and humanity’s future.

The discussion explores whether the phenomenon may originate from a reality beyond our own, the role consciousness could play in contact experiences, and why disclosure may be far more complex than simply revealing government secrets. Whitley also reflects on the lasting impact of Communion, the Allagash Abduction case, reports of orb activity, and personal experiences that continue to shape his understanding of the mystery.

Whether you agree with his conclusions or not, Whitley remains one of the most influential and thought-provoking voices in the UFO field. Join us for an engaging conversation that challenges assumptions and explores some of the biggest questions surrounding the UFO phenomenon.

In this episode of Podcast UFO, Martin Willis and co-host UFO Jack welcome Jordan Flowers of the Disclosure Foundation for a deep discussion on UFO disclosure, government transparency, newly released classified files, and the growing political momentum surrounding the UAP topic.

The discussion also covers the latest NSA and UAP-related document releases, reports involving mysterious orb encounters near military facilities, and why Jordan believes recent developments represent major progress despite frustrations over the pace of disclosure. He also discusses the upcoming Disclosure Forum being held June 25th inside the historic Kennedy Caucus Room in the U.S. Senate, featuring lawmakers, academics, scientists, and national security experts.

DISCLOSURE FORUM 2026

A 1977 Multiple Witness Case From Italy

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear 

In 1977, in the midst of a good deal of UFO activity in Italy, there was a multiple witness case that was investigated not only by a private UFO group, but by the Carabinieri (Italian national police) as well. The witnesses reported seeing lights, a cylindrical object, and a humanoid over a period of around three hours, during which they, the witnesses, made multiple approaches and retreats. Verga Maurizio wrote an article (page 20 of the pdf) covering the events headlined “Seven Scared Witnesses and a Humanoid” that was published in the Volume 25, Number 1, May 1979 Flying Saucer Review.

According to Maurizio, there were enough reports of UFO sightings, “especially at low altitude” and including close encounter reports to constitute “a wave.” During this, “there was one particularly strange, and important, incident” that had several witnesses, two of which were hypnotically regressed. The case was investigated by Umberto Telarico and Giorgio Russolillo of the Naples-base Federazione Uoflogica Regionale Campania. Most of the report is based on interviews with 24-year-old students Rocco Cirullo and Michele Giovanniello, who were the two initial witnesses and not the ones who were hypnotically regressed.

Blog: UFOs as Sky Creatures

Jerome Clark

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear 

Among the many possible explanations for UFOs is that some UFOs might be creatures that live in the sky. The person who became best known for this idea was Trevor James Constable who presented it, along with infrared photos of what he claimed were bioforms invisible to the naked eye, in his 1958 book (as Trevor James) They Live in the Sky. James wasn’t alone in his belief, and the concept of sky creatures goes back farther than 1958 in both speculative literature and science fiction.

A good starting point for the history of the sky-creatures hypothesis is the 1997 paper by Jerome Clark, Spacemen, Demons and Conspiracies, published by the Fund for UFO Research. Clark explores the many explanations for UFOs put forward throughout the years and looks at the SCH in the section “Secret Weapons and Space Animals.” After going into the speculation by people such as James Moseley, Leon Davidson, and Jacques Vallée that flying saucers/UFOs can be explained as classified secret weapons, Clark delves into the history of the sky-creature concept.

We’ll also explore his book, X Descending, based on personal encounters and documented film evidence connected to extraordinary events he says he personally investigated.
