After discussing his own part in helping create ARPANET, Vallée went on to share several more examples from recent history where unforeseen scientific advancements occurred, seemingly out of the blue.
“And finally,” the scientist said, never evincing a change in his measured tone and demeanor, “the Pentagon could not imagine that fast, erratic, mobile, oval objects in the sky were anything other than mental illusions, and they…” After a brief pause, Vallée cryptically added, “and you can fill out the answers in the next few years.”
...
“When I watched the meetings in Congress recently, all they talk about is American cases,” Vallee said. “And among American cases, all they talk about is military cases.”
“I can tell you, having developed a lot of databases over the years, the U.S. is less than 2% of the habitable surface of the Earth,” Vallée said.
“So, if this is extraterrestrial, what about the other 98%?”
...
“It was a large effort for two years, Vallée said, though he added that in reality, “probably close to fifty or sixty years of work went into the database.” Although Capella constitutes what is arguably the most extensive database containing information on UAP ever built, don’t expect to see it any time soon; it remains classified as a part of the data developed under the DIA’s AAWSAP program managed by James Lackatski between 2008 and 2010.
...
“I think it’s properly classified,” Vallée added, “because it contains a lot of medical data that should be private.” However, he said that he thinks that over time, perhaps portions can be “sanitized” for release to the public, “so that we don’t invade the privacy of individuals who have reported those things, especially their medical data.”
“It’s not classified for any military or intelligence reason as far as I know,” Vallée said. “But I’m not part of the project anymore.” Vallée noted that even he no longer has access to Capella, although several longtime colleagues of his who still work in government do.
“I’m very proud to have worked on that,” Vallée said. “It’s probably the high water mark in the computer study of UFOs so far.”
“But as we know, the high water mark is going to go even higher after this.”

I'll be interested to hear if Mr. FOIA master receives anything worthy on his follow-up questions.

Always found it interesting that many in these UFO/UAP offices & UFO (TTSA) entertainment have medical backgrounds.
• "There was an outbreak of UFO sightings in that whole area from Point Pleasant up around 35 almost all the way to Charleston - and they would all start by saying 'I know you think I'm crazy but..'
They would tell me these stories about the sightings they had on their land. Now usually it would involve some sort of machine like a UFO. It got so bad we basically had a special assignment desk for when people called to report the UFOs."
News Journalist David Payton, Huntington Herald Dispatch, West Virginia, November, 1966.

• "The device had the shape of two saucers, one inverted on top of the other. It must have measured about 1.5 m in height. It was the color of lead. This device had a ridge all the way around its circumference. Under the machine I saw two kinds of pieces as it was lifting off."

Indeed, I wonder if Vallee, the vaunted scientist and ufologist, acknowledges that the only technology that hasn’t progressed one inch is the knowledge of what UFOs are.

“In this section we penetrate an international Hall of Mirrors that will give us new insights into a process that could be called mythological engineering—the deliberate creation of social movements to serve either as opportunities for experiment, as outlets for personal fantasy, or as a vehicle for more down-to-earth political purposes...Therefore, I have taken special pains to move step-by-step through a mass of evidence that, in my opinion, points to the deliberate exploitation of the belief in extraterrestrials by human groups.”
― Jacques Vallee Revelations: Alien Contact and Human Deception (Ballantine Books, 1991), p. 96.
• "We saw this object which was shaped like a crescent moon - it was physical, it was a physical object. I felt like I could have gone up and touched it, I just couldn't believe what I was seeing."

• "Mayday, Mayday, Ercoupe ocho cero, eight zero, zero, Hotel. We can see a strange object in our course, we are lost, Mayday, Mayday. Ah we are going from Santo Domingo to ah San Juan International but we found ah a weird object in our course that made us change course about three different times we got it right in front of us now at one o’clock, our heading is zero seven zero degrees.. our altitude one thousand six hundred a zero seven zero degrees.. our VORs got lost off frequency.. Right now we are supposed to be a about thirty five miles from the coast of Puerto Rico but we have something weird in front of us that make us lose course all the time I changed our course a second (unintelligible) our present heading right now is three hundred we are right again in the same stuff sir.”

Karl……are you aware of any website that has mostly concentrated on compiling ATC, Pilot audio communication transmissions recordings of object encounters? If so, kindly post link.
Thanks in Advance

• "It was a giant plate of light. It lit up the whole horizon with a glare. It was flying low over the landscape and appeared to be spinning."
Police Constable Eric Pinnock - Warminster.
• "The objects were cigar-shaped and covered with bright lights which winked and blinked... They were various shades of gold and yellow..."
Hilda Hebdidge, Warminster.
• "The cigar-shaped glow hung, a brilliant spectacle in the sky for a good twenty five minutes or more. There was a distinct dark circular patch or aperture at the base of the fiery object, which threw off a halo of red-orange light. The craft was horizontal, not vertical."
Patricia Phillips and family, Heytesbury.
• "A large red ball in the south which rose into the sky and hung down, opening up once more into a flaming poker. It had a black base at its rim...It was the size of our front room to my eyes – it was so close... A sizzling or crackling sound, not unlike eggs and bacon frying in a pan, could be heard..."
Dora Horlock, Warminster.
• "Fantastic spectacle... shining Thing going sideways... Porthole type windows... To my eyes it was the size of... a bedroom wall... Windows were lit up..."
Kathleen Penton, Warminster.
• "Woken by a terrible droning sound. It made the bed and floor shake. I went over to the bedroom window and looked out... about 200 yards above the range of hills... was a bright object like a massive star... domed on top and huge in size, and unwinking light of uncanny brilliance."
Rachel Atwill, Warminster.
• "Its speed and change of direction were almost unbelievable."
Terry Pell, Warminster.

• "We looked up and we could see clearly the defined shape of a pie shaped object - a saucer. I mean I hate to use that term but it was a saucer shaped object.
There was a rim, we could see a rim, and within the rim was just this one big, brilliant, brilliant light that kept shining on our car."
Eyewitness, Topanga Canyon.
