Host: George Knapp
Guest: Jacques F. Vallee
In the first half of the program, George Knapp was joined by legendary ufologist Jacques Vallee, who discussed a recent discrete gathering of international UFO experts that was not mentioned to the public. He revealed that the two-day conference was organized by the French version of NASA, known as CNES, and featured 30 presentations to about 100 attendees. According to Vallee, the focus of the conference revolved around determining the best way to gather and research UFO cases as well as how to synthesize that data.
He attributed the event to a change in the French scientific community, where a new generation has emerged that is willing to take a fresh look at the UFO phenomenon. Unlike UFO research in the United States, which is beset with ideological disputes, Vallee noted, this examination of the phenomenon centered around "a good long look at the data."
To that end, Vallee explained that, fifteen years ago, he designed a data warehouse to collect various UFO sighting databases. Based on conversations from the CNES conference, he declared that "I'm now taking it to the next level." He speculated that there are around 200,000 well-documented cases from groups collecting UFO reports all over the world and this massive trove of information can be mined for new insights into the phenomenon, such as global patterns, physical facts, and special locations where events seem to occur with more frequently.
This statistical approach, Vallee argued, eschews presupposed conclusions and, instead, allows for an unbiased investigation of "researchable questions" that may allow for the ability to predict UFO behavior. Additionally, he marveled that, given the plethora of data, technology, and expertise already available, such a project can begin immediately and in earnest.

Jacques is a frustrated computer programmer..
I think he loves that most of all...
I'd love it if he could find another 8-11 pm correlation.....or Wednesday / Saturday correlation.
Btw those correlations make me highly think that its human behavior and habits that feed this....
I doubt that 'spiritual entities' punch a time clock. ..
As far as my statement about Dr. Vallee getting out of the hinting business.... (about occult things)
that's still my theory....but if he wants to be a database analyst again I sure welcome it#

Glad to see someone else picked up on the Unitah ties. The Ranch is indeed location there, and it seems that similar phenomena are reported in the Sans Luis Valley. I suspect there are geophysical reasons for this...You might be interested in my postings.

In Ryan's second skinwalker book, it seems that much of the high strangeness only happened
when that one guard who was a 'believer' was on the ranch.
Perhaps there aren't any 'open gateways in the minds' of anybody in that area right now?
I think that a 'contactee' who has been modified by an 'experience' is a requirement for
any real degree of high strangeness.
Do you have an opinion on this?

P.S.S. Jaques Vallee did not have Apache Hadoop. He would have invented it if he could, but thems the facts: he didn't have it.
