Yes, if only we could pay more attention to Vallee's plans for data collection and not get so hung up about the aliens that have been abducting us for the past fifty years.
You see that's the problem. Fifty years of abductions and nothing to show for it? Yes, pay attention to what people are saying and not just the ones that tell you what you want to hear. Nobody will take anyone seriously with just a bunch of stories. And again, before you critique Vallee, you should at least try to understand what he is saying. You should go back and rewatch the video now that you have the correct definition of the word 'ontology'. It might make more sense to you.

I understand Vallee just fine. Vallee is useless. Decades of UFO research, and he's still unwilling to admit there are aliens? He's a charlatan.

He is unwilling to claim that which has not been proved by decades of UFO research. That doesn't make him a charlatan... that makes him rational.
Useless to your agenda, perhaps.

So you just want too push the ETH without a shred of real evidence? And everyone is just supposed to believe it because you said so? And you are against guys like Vallee who are doing the work to collect all this data and make it available as a searchable database? Why? Are you afraid it might knot support the ETH? Its data.
The point of posting the video was to show how real data is dealt with. People are saying their is all this data already and it exists as a collection of stories where you cant tell a hoax from a hallucination and everyone is supposed too just accept that. I personally don't have any opinion on Vallee's views but he did show what it would take to make the information presentable. The thing is, you can interpret the data any way you want too but you have too show that it supports your view to. All you are doing is making assertions. based on what exactly?
some people start their St. Patrick's day celebrations a wee bit early.
As to the intent of your post, are you suggesting that there is no evidence for alien contact?
I never said this.
Then you suggest that I want people to believe in aliens simply because I said so?
These are rather outlandish mischaracterizations, of my position in particular, and ufology in general.
So if aliens don't exist why hasn't it been easy to debunk this video in this thread?

The question isn't "are these thousands of abduction cases from around the world spanning decades researched by dozens of legitimate researchers true?", the question is what is the alien agenda and why has it been so heavily suppressed. To ask the former, given the plethora of evidence, is to truly be a "flat-earther".

Well it seems that people like you, Scdfa, and I are ahead of the curve so to speak. While everyone else ponders on the validity and source of abduction testimony attributed to the ETH, a situation being muddied even more by people like Vallee with alternative gibberish, I know you 2 as well as myself are on to the question of WHY this is happening and the suppression that coincides with it.

I have to agree with what you say. The level of inaction, both governmental and societal, is frightening. Fifty years of what amounts to an alien invasion, and no response.
No protests, no petitions, no pundits arguing on cable news channels, no newspaper editorials.
More importantly, no plan of defense.
Instead we have the president joking about aliens on Jimmy Kimmel. Although the words he spoke were quite accurate, the delivery was clearly intended as comedic. And this has been the governmental approach for longer than I've been alive; evade the issue through mockery and ridicule.
What is so appalling is the fact that it still works on most of the American people. A nation that prides itself on its military might, being silently colonized and bred like cattle while fools twitter and watch zombie shows. It leaves little sense of hope, and one wonders at what point it becomes too late to do anything.
The fault falls squarely on our shoulders. When people started reporting their abductions, we allowed our authorities and ourselves to not believe them. That was the turning point, that was the big mistake. When we stopped believing each other. Some unwarranted sense of superiority that allows someone to tell an alien witness or abductee, "that didn't happen to you".
Talk about hubris! On a grand scale. It's the same false sense of superiority coming from even highly intelligent people of note, people like, say, Jim Oberg, every time he tells a UFO witness they are unqualified to describe what they saw. For all his education and accomplishments, or perhaps because of them, he can't accept that these witnesses may be accurately describing the events they experienced.
Is it a matter of pride over reason, or perhaps too much of a paradigm shift for a person to take, I don't know. But when we dismiss the testimony of a witness to an event, or in some cases many witnesses, in favor of people who were simply not there, then we have failed. Failed ourselves, and failed each other.
By the way, I certainly don't mean to single out Mr.Oberg, I just point to his writing on ufology to give an example that people can examine for themselves. I don't know Mr. Oberg personally, and I greatly respect his accomplishments to his chosen field, If I wanted to take a rocket to the moon, I'd trust Mr. Oberg's opinion explicitly. but I think it is fair to point out the prevalent trend in his approach to ufology and ufo witnesses in many of his posts here on ATS.

Funny you mention the Kimmel and Obama segment. I recall Obama saying something along the lines of the ETs "exercising strict control over us" if we were to reveal their secrets. Could there be any truth in this? It's possible that there's fear of this breeding program blowing full scale and potential eradication of mass numbers of citizens in the event that should happen. On the other hand, if this is allowed to continue, the same consequences would apply, it would just be the end result of a slower process. A damned if you do damned if you don't catch 22 dilemma. If our alleged humanoid extraterrestrial ancestors are said to exist (which I'm a firm believer they do), now is the time for an intervention on their behalf to help Earth through these troubling times.
