Patrick Scott ArmstrongHOST
I'll tell you what it said in a second.
Patrick Scott ArmstrongHOST
And then Bryce had dinner with Jacques Vallée recently and decided to show it to him.
Patrick Scott ArmstrongHOST
Jacques Vallée immediately said the severed chakras, right? And they go over all the symbols in it, right? Yeah.
Patrick Scott ArmstrongHOST
And, uh, very interesting.
Patrick Scott ArmstrongHOST
Now I asked AI myself, um, and it did not mention it at first.
TopherHOST
There's so many parts of the story.
TopherHOST
I was just like, what? What? And then also, what did Jacques Vallée say? He goes, I didn't ask.
TopherHOST
That wasn't what I was there to learn about.
TopherHOST
I was just like,
AdamHOST
And so is this guy.
AdamHOST
So it's not just stories.
TopherHOST
Yeah, and I get Jacques Vallée trying to protect his sources and stuff.
TopherHOST
That's good for him.
Mike ClellandGUEST
Yeah.
SariahHOST
And, and ironically, right, uh, around 1979, uh, is when Jacques Vallée, uh, published Messengers of Deception.
Aaron GulyasGUEST
I was thinking that was a good segue.
Aaron GulyasGUEST
We, there was a good segue floating around here to-
50 MINS LATER
Aaron GulyasGUEST
You know?
Mike ClellandGUEST
Yeah.
Aaron GulyasGUEST
Communion's like, "Okay, here's this one event that happened to me, and here's how I dealt with it." Transformation, he starts exploring, "Okay, this is the other stuff that came along with it." Um, and that the same year in '88 was Dimensions from, uh, Jacques Vallée, where he-
Mike ClellandGUEST
And then I actually, I can never remember.
Santiago UrquijoGUEST
For me this is one of the tests, let's call it, where it has already been demonstrated that these beings, in some particular cases, have the ability to change their physical appearance or they also send other beings, which for us could be the equivalent of artificial intelligence, but with bio-skeletons.
Esteban CruzHOST
Yes, and there is something very interesting, both Jacques Vallée, who is a ufologist and also a person from the academy, as Mr. Salvador Feixedo, who already passed away, who was a Jesuit, also a professor, they talk about something that we could call the theory of distortion, and it is that these non-human beings or these non-human intelligences appear in front of us, in a different way or the way in which we do not get scared or that we do not get involved in seeing things that are really strange.
Esteban CruzHOST
So they say, no, look, in the Middle Ages they appeared as a fairy or as a dwarf, to the same Paracelsus they appeared, or as angels, or as demons, according to Salvador Freixedo, but in the background there are others who are there that are presented to us as this being that seems feminine, with little teeth, so as not to be scared, because if they are shown as they are, perhaps we could not even understand each other and we would collapse.
Esteban CruzHOST
And it would be that theory of distortion.

Stephen DienerHOST
One thing that had been talked about in the past was that These were actually shot at.
Stephen DienerHOST
Jacques Vallée had told James Fox about this and Jacques Vallée was told about it by a source within Washington who said that these were actually shot at back in 1952.
Stephen DienerHOST
And a piece of debris was collected and then studied in secret by the U.S. government and contractors.
Stephen DienerHOST
We know how that story goes.
Alex NewmanGUEST
And I think your your assessment there is very reasonable.
Brannon HowseHOST
Well, here's a picture of Jacques Vallée, one of the leading experts on UFOs, as you know, a picture from several years ago.
Brannon HowseHOST
But he changed his mind, as I've explained several times, that these were extraterrestrials to know they are interdimensional.
Brannon HowseHOST
They don't show up on the radar coming in or going out.
Brannon HowseHOST
This notion is too simplistic to explain their appearance, the frequency of their manifestations through recorded history, and the structure of the information exchanged with them during contact.
Brannon HowseHOST
The medical examination, so-called, to which abductees are said to be subjected, often accompanied by sadistic sexual manipulation, is reminiscent of the medieval tales of encounters with demons." And yet you just described, you just described these sadistic sexual behaviors, Alex, at Burning Man.
Alex NewmanGUEST
And Jacques Vallée also said that these entities are extremely deceptive, which again, for a non born again Christian to perceive all of that, I think is very, very significant.
Alex NewmanGUEST
So that's what we're dealing with here.
Alex NewmanGUEST
And I think your assessment there is very reasonable.

Barna DonovanGUEST
Now, they look like flying saucers and flying boomerangs to us.
Barna DonovanGUEST
There is one approach to this, one school of thought, and there's the a famous French astronomer, Jacques Vallée, who was really subscribing to this, who said that here you have actually some kind of an interdimensional phenomenon that as an astronomer will tell you how extremely far the distances are between planets and how unlikely it is that you can get into your spaceship and fly to another planet.
Barna DonovanGUEST
And his speculation is that maybe this is something interdimensional.
Barna DonovanGUEST
This is some kind of interaction from a different plane of existence.
Alex NewmanGUEST
And I think your assessment there is very reasonable.
Brannon HowseHOST

Brannon HowseHOST
He said, quote, we're dealing with a yet unrecognized level of consciousness independent of man but closely linked to the earth i do not believe anymore that ufos are simply the spacecraft of some race of extraterrestrial visitors this notion is too simplistic to explain their appearance the frequency of their manifestations through recorded history and the structure of the information exchanged with them during contact the The medical examination, so-called, to which abductees are said to be subjected, often accompanied by sadistic sexual manipulation, is reminiscent of the medieval tales of encounters with demons, end quote.
Brannon HowseHOST
And yet you just described, you just described these sadistic sexual behaviors, Alex, at Burning Man.
Alex NewmanGUEST
Yeah, and Jacques Vallée also said that these entities are extremely deceptive, which again, for a non-born-again Christian to perceive all of that, I think is very, very significant.
