Jim RyaveGUEST
And they can appear just about any way that they'd like to appear, mainly to confuse human beings.
Jim RyaveGUEST
I think Jacques Vallée... you know speaks a lot about this he thinks for millennia it's all the same related phenomena it would tie to uh the experiencers culture uh he talks about uh you know the fey and you know other phenomena cultural phenomena gnomes and you know these are tricksters jim simivan uh who uh was with the cia many years uh he considers them jinn uh when whereas you know satan in christian tradition and even in judaic tradition are called shaitan in uh islam in the quran uh but regardless of how you categorize him he he's very he's very bad he hates humanity in fact saint augustine famously wrote that if God let Satan have his will with humanity, not a single human being would be alive.
Jim RyaveGUEST
Because all these demons, they hate all humans.
Jim RyaveGUEST
It's the ultimate racism.
Eric WargoGUEST
Who did you read? Who was the author of
Bob HeskeHOST
the one or two others you read that had the most impact? Was it Jacques Vallée? Yeah,
Eric WargoGUEST
well, it would be Richard Dolan, first of all.
Eric WargoGUEST
And then, but Jacques Vallée.
Eric WargoGUEST
I mean, you always, inevitably, you end up finding Jacques Vallée's work.
Eric WargoGUEST
And, you know, Richard Dolan, amazing.
Eric WargoGUEST
You know, I was blown away by his UFOs in the National Security State, the volumes one and two of that.
Eric WargoGUEST
I'd always been, in the back of my mind, interested in UFOs, but I never realized there was real research on this and that there was such a history.
Kale ZeldenHOST
You know, it's different than, you know, an article here or a rumor there.
Kale ZeldenHOST
Like this is, you know, this is, nor does it have the kind of mystical patina of like a Jacques Vallée.
Kale ZeldenHOST
You know, Jacques Vallée, you know, as everybody says, he's like sort of the grandfather of all of this space.
Kale ZeldenHOST
And he's done a lot of important work and a lot of important books.
Kale ZeldenHOST
But this is like, you know, this is like a guy.
Kale ZeldenHOST
Right.
Kale ZeldenHOST
Like this is a guy who like drinks beer.
Kale ZeldenHOST
I don't think Jacques Vallée drinks beer.
Martin CannonGUEST
It was a few years later.
Martin CannonGUEST
I used to be friends with Fred Beckman, who was – He was probably most famous for being an associate of Jacques Vallée.
Martin CannonGUEST
You know, Fred Beckman's name shows up often in Vallée's books.
Martin CannonGUEST
He would talk about the controller's theory often with the major abduction researchers of that time.
GarrettHOST
And then there's historical examples.
GarrettHOST
Jacques Vallée gives the example of St. Francis of Assisi.
GarrettHOST
He had interacted with this ball of light.
GarrettHOST
And this is in like, I think it was in like 1200 or something.
Martin WillisHOST
How about that? And so Dr.
Martin WillisHOST
Haynes and also Jacques Vallée did a paper together, 19-page paper.
Esteban CarranzaGUEST
Couple papers, yes.
Martin WillisHOST
Two papers.
47 MINS LATER
Martin WillisHOST
Stanton Friedman never had a UFO sighting, and he was one of the best.
Martin WillisHOST
So it's all great.
Martin WillisHOST
And I didn't think Jacques Vallée had a sighting, but he did.
Martin WillisHOST
We had lunch with him at his place in San Francisco, my producer, girlfriend, and I.
Karla TurnerGUEST
There seemed to have been sort of a status quo for centuries.
Karla TurnerGUEST
If you look at the work of Jacques Vallée and others who've delved into the legends, the myths, the religious lore, the historical records, in fact, from ages before ours, and see that there were these intermittent accounts that fall within the realm of the UFO phenomena, it was fairly static as far as the acceleration of activity until the modern age.
Karla TurnerGUEST
Then we see certain kinds of activity beginning and then beginning massively, and then those becoming more and more complex, leading up to the massive numbers of people who I believe are telling the honest truth about what they to them, reporting honestly on events as they've perceived them, and the numbers are staggering.
Art BellHOST
What do you think all this is headed toward, this increased awareness, even this evolutionary change? What is it headed toward?
Steve StocktonHOST
Then there's the science fiction hypothesis or the Magonia theory.
Steve StocktonHOST
In his book Dimensions, researcher Jacques Vallée uses the green children as a primary example of Magonia.
Steve StocktonHOST
A folkloric interpretation of what we might today call extraterrestrials or even interdimensional travelers.
Steve StocktonHOST
In this light, St. Martin's land wasn't a village in Flanders, but a parallel dimension or a subterranean world even.
Imran HusseinGUEST
Then on top of this, you also have the top podcasters online, Rogan, Tucker Carlson, others who have been covering this topic.
Imran HusseinGUEST
You also have interest from academics who are talking about this and writing about this subject, such as Jacques Vallée, Dr. D.W. Pasoka and others.
Imran HusseinGUEST
topic which is here to stay, bro.
Imran HusseinGUEST
And this is why I think it's essential...
18 MINS LATER
Imran HusseinGUEST
So we see this trend happening again.
Imran HusseinGUEST
And the second way is, we know, as you mentioned, as we heard in the congressional hearing, that there are apparently craft that have crashed, that they have recovered, that they are reverse engineering.
Imran HusseinGUEST
Now, according to Dr. Jacques Vallée, who is considered to be the leading expert ufologist, the top guy, and he's very old now.
Imran HusseinGUEST
He's been in the field for many decades.
Jeffrey MishloveGUEST
I believe that there are databases.
Jeffrey MishloveGUEST
Jacques Vallée has assembled a computer database when he worked with Robert Bigelow that had, to my knowledge, about 20,000 different instances of UFO sightings.
Jeffrey MishloveGUEST
So they do appear to be well documented across many, many different as far as I can tell, and including interfering with our nuclear sites.
Jeffrey MishloveGUEST
In fact, I believe just last week, the government released more files and photographs and reports from the military of sightings of UFOs.
