Jacques Vallée is a computer scientist, venture investor, and pioneering UFO researcher whose work challenges simple extraterrestrial explanations for the phenomenon.
Jacques Vallée is a French-born computer scientist, astronomer, author, and venture investor. Early in his career he worked in astronomy and on networked computing, including projects that contributed to the development of ARPANET. In parallel, he built one of the most influential bodies of UFO research, beginning with systematic case catalogues and historical comparisons.
Vallée trained in astronomy and computer science, worked on early Mars observations, and later contributed to networked computing before becoming a venture investor in Silicon Valley. Those careers made information systems central to his thinking: he viewed UFO reports not simply as isolated objects but as patterns shaped by witnesses, culture, and possible feedback. His books evolved from cataloging cases to proposing a broader control-system model, making his intellectual biography one of continual departure from the field’s dominant explanation.
Vallée initially explored an extraterrestrial interpretation but became dissatisfied with a model based only on spacecraft visiting from another planet. Books such as Passport to Magonia compared modern encounters with folklore, apparitions, and older contact traditions. He later argued that the phenomenon may interact with human perception, culture, and belief in ways that suggest a broader “control system.” He has also investigated alleged physical traces and co-authored work on reported recovered materials.
Vallée’s career joined databases, field investigation, computer science, folklore, and theory in a way that permanently broadened UAP research. His interdimensional hypotheses and interest in consciousness challenged a simple spacecraft model without denying that a real anomaly may exist. That combination made him foundational to studying the phenomenon as a system of physical reports, human experiences, and cultural effects.
ETs Teach People to Levitate by Preston Dennett A UFO encounter can have many profound effects upon a witness. A person can be physically affected, with such symptoms as injuries or healings. An encounter affects a person mentally, challenging their world view. A UFO encounter is also a very emotional experience and can trigger the full range of emotions. But it goes beyond that. A close encounter can also transform a person spiritually, triggering a wide variety of paranormal events. It’s no...

Then experiences of her own made the question personal. As she tells Jesse Michels, “Okay, if it’s for real, what does it mean?” Her perspective opens up a completely different q...
There does appear to be a connection between some alleged craft and ancient languages. https://t.co/UzqJ0O2UKM [Quoted] According to Jacques Vallée's Forbidden Science Vol. II, the symbol reported on the Socorro UFO appears in the Picatrix, a 12th-century Arabic text rooted in older Greek magical systems and astral correspondences. The implication is fascinating. An insignia associated with one of the most famous UFO landing cases in history may also exist in an ancient esoteric tradition, wh...
According to Jacques Vallée's Forbidden Science Vol. II, the symbol reported on the Socorro UFO appears in the Picatrix, a 12th-century Arabic text rooted in older Greek magical systems and astral correspondences. The implication is fascinating. An insignia associated with one of the most famous UFO landing cases in history may also exist in an ancient esoteric tradition, where it is connected to symbolic and celestial meaning. Some elements of the Phenomenon may be far older than the modern...

I'm reading Vallee's "Forbidden Science" journals. I finished the 1st, which not only provides so much insight and context into the beginning of Ufology and the government's study of it starting in the early 40s, but is also a great work of literature, poetic. It begins with an 18-year-old Jacques in France in 1957 to 1969 in SF, Ca.; and contains a lot of inside information you can't find anywhere else. I just started the 2nd volume, from 1970-1979, California Hermetica. And there are so man...

Lehto seems like a chill dude honestly, but I have always been critical of his interpretation of UFO evidence. His latest video isn't doing much to change that. For years, various UFO personalities have been teasing 2027 as some sort of pivotal year for humanity. Elizondo's cryptic "five years," John Ramirez's predictions, Bledsoe's October revelation, and Anjali's 2027 "Transcension Project" all had the usual assortment of ominous hints about something big coming. The line between UFOlogy an...
