## Resource

We are Celebrating 5 years! We welcome the legendary Dr. Jacques Vallée, a pioneering computer scientist, astronomer, and one of the most respected figures in UAP research. In this 2-hour-plus conversation, hosts Michael Glawson, Katie Paige, and Jason Guillemette dive into Vallée’s illustrious career, exploring his investigations into unexplained aerial phenomena and his unique perspectives on the mysteries that continue to captivate the world.Vallée, the inspiration behind the French scientist in Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind, reflects on iconic cases that have shaped his decades-long journey—from his early work mapping Mars for NASA to his development of the first computerized UAP databases for the secretive AAWSAP program. The discussion also spotlights his latest book, Forbidden Science VI: Scattered Castles, the sixth installment of his personal journals (published in 2025 by Anomalist Books), offering an intimate look at his thoughts on UAP events, AI’s role in disclosure, and the evolving landscape of the field from 2010 to 2019.With warmth and curiosity, the hosts probe Vallée on cases they’re eager to unpack, drawing out rare insights from a man who has spent over six decades bridging science and the unknown. Described by WIRED as a cautious yet visionary explorer of “the phenomenon,” Vallée’s blend of rigorous analysis and open-minded inquiry shines through in this unmissable episode.
