Coast to Coast AM - October 24 2010 - Jacques Vallee with George Knapp (manually transcribed, not copied and pasted)
G.K. You have said that this Control System theory of yours is testable. I'd like to know if you ever tested it and, if not, is it still doable?
J.V. I didn't mean necessarily that there was a supreme intelligence controlling it [the UFO phenomenon] or directing it. The phenomenon has the information characteristics of a control system. It comes in waves, it responds to certain things.
I've never published this but I will someday. As you know, one of the things I want to leave behind is a record of my own research called 'Forbidden Science'. I've published two volumes, so far, and they are not widely published but they are on record and I want to continue to do that.
In the 1990s I tried to create sort of an official thing like the ranch in Utah [Skinwalker Ranch]. This was of course before the events at the ranch. I tried to create a hot spot of information where I was hoping to sort of attract the phenomenon to be able to record it better. And it didn't give the results I was hoping for. It's not something you can just decide to engage with - at least I haven't found a way to do it. But it's worth continuing to try because there seems to be a form of consciousness behind it that is extremely subtle, has a great sense of humor, is completely ruthless - I mean I know from reading your book and actually being there what happened at Skinwalker Ranch. There is no simplistic explanation.
I've studied physics but I certainly don't consider myself a physicist. I'm trained in information science and in information science and logic you often have situations, even in mathematics, where you have contradictions in the material you're looking at. The solution is to go up a level. It's not to fight it and try to force it into a preconceived idea.

I'm wondering now, if he hasn't ever published a "Forbidden Science 3", because he was hoping for more concrete results in his 'experiments', so he could include them?
Now if we could only figure out what he means by, going "up a level"..

Yes, I'm looking forward to FS III. There seem to be so many clues about a plethora of topics in FS II. Vallee has even said so himself, although it's rather obvious when reading.
It needs someone like Redfern or Bishop--or corsair--who have more familiarity with the people and events he mentions to really vet it and follow his hints. I've been meaning to comb it better myself since I was rather focused on Aviary folk the first time through.
Thanks for the "revised edition" download. Do you know what the "revision" entailed?
And, yes: "Up a level," caught my attention, too.
Maybe someone should do a Forbidden Science thread?

There are different kinds of control systems - open ones and closed ones - and there are tests you can apply to them to find out what kind of control system you're inside. That leads to a number of experiments you can do with the UFO phenomenon, whereas the other interpretations don't lead you to anything. If you're convinced that UFOs are extraterrestrial, then about the only thing you can do is to climb to a hilltop with a flashlight and send a message in Morse code. People have tried that, I know, but it doesn't seem to work very will! The control system concept can be tested by a small group of people - you don't need a large organization or a lot of equipment - and you can start thinking about active intervention in the phenomenon. Clark: How could I prove to my satisfaction that there is a control system in operations? Vallee: If you think you're inside a control system, the first thing you have to look for is what is being controlled and try to change it to see what happens. My friend Bill Powers proposes the following analogy:
Suppose you're walking through the desert and you see a stone that looks as though it was painted white. A thousand yards later you see another stone of similar appearance. You stop and consider the matter. Either you can forget it or - if you're like me - you can pick up the stone and move it a few feet. If suddenly a bearded character steps out from behind a rock and demands to know why you moved his marker, then you know you've found a control system. My point is that you can't be sure until you do something. Then you realize that what you were seeing, the thing that looked absurd and incongruous, was really a marker for a boundary that was invisible to everybody else until you discovered it because you looked for a pattern. I think that's exactly what we have to do with UFOs. We have to do something that will cause them to react. And I don't mean building landing strips in the desert and waiting out there to welcome the space brothers.

I've been working on something that I want to post here but have not had the time to really think about what it was that I was doing. I was using google statistics generated by their search functions to see exactly when and how majority of folks use the internet to get information regarding UFOs and cross referencing it to searches involving "demons" and other paranormal events on and around days of considerable sightings. What I have come to find is that there has been a steady number of people searching for UFOS online using google for a period until recently it starts to steadily decline, as compared to demons and other events have started to incline. The reasoning behind looking at things this way is because if there is a control system and it is based on an information loop I thought that maybe something could be measured from how and when people are interacting with this info especially based on the topic this is how I think Vallee would call the "social effects" Unfortunately I have not found anything that I can make sense of at this point but perhaps someone else is interested in looking and maybe they will find something more compelling. Just thought I would throw that out here.

The original secret is of little importance, its how it changes and becomes adept within the circle it was exposed to either willingly or not. It is obvious to me that UFO phenomenon DOES in fact manipulate society and its implications manipulate those in power so UFO does affect policy and people. Look at all these UFO New age movements and cults that have been springing up for the better portion of 100 years. Someones getting a message.
