Thanks for this Lathroper it 'might' help fill in a few gaps. Or just create more questions.
There is an earlier interview with Jacques Vallée from Spet 2017. Starting at 35:15 (link) in the below show.
snip
At this specific part he discussed unusual isotopic ratios found in samples in trace evidence ejected from UAPs. He seemed to be suggesting that these UAPs materialized in some way and leave a by-product (these pieces of material with strange isotopic ratios).
He also said the materials dated back to 1947 (sort of intimating from Roswell). A very quick scan in the video in the OP revealed a slide detailing the origin of these materials and it seems Maury Island is listed (not Roswell) from 1947.

It also says no sample was available on this slide.
This has got me very intrigued now.I do not have time at the moment to go through the whole video. But I wonder what is going on here? Maybe later this weekend.

I already know about the Maury Island Mystery I wrote a thread on it. That story seems to sit at the very beginning of the meddling in the UFO narrative. Just as the summer of the saucers in 1947 was beginning. There are a lot of strange factoids in that case.
On the surface it was all a hoax and the 'ejected molten material' was just slag from nearby.
But it's a very strange tale and features Fred Crisman, a guy who was possibly disguised as a vagrant or was a radio operator on the "grassy knoll" in Dallas on the day of the JFK assassination. Then we have one of the FBI's case investigators - Guy Banister. Yes the same one involved in the JFK assassination. Kenneth Arnold was involved too.
From what I've been led to believe the material Vallée has been analysing comes from Ubatuba in Brazil from 1957.
But I haven't watched that video yet. I am hoping it will clarify Dr. Vallée's position on where and when this material originates.

we have substances that are linked with so-called UFOs that indicate either unknown local tech or materials from other, extra solar-system regions of space.

you know that if you dont like jacques vallee, you are an idiot right?
and knowing your past posts of rods being real dont surprise me
You are similar to a chameleon, one minute you're friendly, another minute you're insulting!

i have an rule and that rule is: have no personal forum pets, so yes i could act friendly with you one moment and in another attack you
what i find strange in you is that you believe in false leads (rods,billy meier,bob lazar) and think that real leads (phoenix lights,john keel and jacques vallee) are false
if you could explain why then maybe i will act friendly again

Keel argued it was a cover for waste dumping from the Hanford site iirc.
Incident and Immediate Aftermath
Most of what we know comes from a report by Kenneth Arnold, an aviator who had claimed to see several UFOs in the area around that time, in the first UFO sightings ever recorded.[1][2]
Crisman and Dahl claimed to Arnold that they were harbor patrolmen on a workboat near Maury Island and that they saw six doughnut shaped objects in the sky. According to Crisman and Dahl, one of the objects dropped a substance that resembled lava or "white metal" onto their boat, breaking a worker's arm and killing a dog. Dahl also claimed he was later approached by a man in a dark suit and told not to talk about the incident.[3] While even the claim that Chrisman and Dahl were harbor patrolmen is now believed to be false, Arnold was convinced by their story and contacted an Air Force intelligence officer, who flew in along with another from California. The officers concluded the metal objects were aluminum and not of interest. They did not reveal this to Arnold, however, to avoid embarrassing him. The officers then died in a crash on their way back to California.[4]
The FBI then proceeded to investigate this case, and concluded that Crisman and Dahl's sightings were a hoax. In their files, they noted that Dahl stated that "if questioned by the authorities he was going to say it was a hoax because he did not want any further trouble over the matter." The files also detail a few alternate stories communicated by Crisman and Dahl to local newspapers and other media outlets, and conclude that they had contacted a variety of publications "in the hope of building up their story through publicity to a point where they could make a profitable deal with Fantasy Magazine, Chicago, Illinois."[5]

Rods - supported by evidence
"Billy" Meier - I stated a fair comment about him.
In order to learn about the alleged crashes he would have had to been at least a teenager or, for sure, when he was an adult. That means he is repeating hearsay, not first-hand knowledge. So he is using a belief system to accept what he, surely, read. I venture to say without proof that Vallee didn't set out on a quest to visit each of the 8 locations and prove to himself that, indeed, a UFO did crash at each of the locations and the debris from each crash was dealt with and there should be piles of the stuff stored somewhere either in each location or consolidated.
The other area people are very interested, of course, is Roswell and the so-called crashes. There are 8 of them that have been documented just around New Mexico in the '40s and so on.

If you have--or do--a thread on rods please make sure I don't miss it. I thought it was settled that they were artifacts of bugs in flight similar to "blurds." I'd definitely be interested again if you think they are an unknown phenomena.
Also: If you don't mind, what was your statement as regards Billy Meier? Although it's rather obvious that he faked some photos, I'm also of the mind that he was a "liminal personality" of the sort Hansen talks about in The Trickster & The Paranormal.
There was a military liaison that allowed children access to classified material at certain bases till the age of 9 or so.
