Few names carry as much weight in the UFO world as Jacques Vallée. A respected computer scientist, astronomer and long time investigator of unidentified aerial phenomena, Vallée has advised governments and space agencies for decades. He says scientific databases linked to a defence intelligence programme logged around 260,000 screened UFO sightings and hundreds of reports involving non-human creatures. The claim is explosive not just for its scale but because Vallée speaks as someone who helped build the system himself. Vallée explains that several years ago he initiated a system of multiple databases used by a DIA sponsored programme at Bigelow Aerospace. He says he worked as a cleared member of a scientific team tasked with studying UFO and UAP phenomena. According to Vallée, the data warehouse contained approximately 260,000 screened reports of anomalous objects in flight. Crucially, he adds that the same databases also logged hundreds of reports involving creatures described as live or dead and linked to crashed or landed vehicles of unknown origin. Researchers documented a total of seven creatures. Vallée notes that all of the creatures he referenced appeared to breathe air normally. He links these descriptions to professional observations made shortly after the incidents, including anatomical and behavioural notes recorded before the death of at least one recovered entity.

Note: Dr. Jacques Vallée's work involved working closely with Dr. Allen Hynek, the scientific advisor to the US Air Force's Project Blue Book; co-developing the first computerized map of Mars for NASA in 1963; and playing a key role in the development of the early Internet. Reported UFO/UAP craft may represent far more than unexplained aerial phenomena. They could point toward breakthrough technologies capable of transforming life on Earth. A New Technological Paradigm?
