In an earlier post, I quoted something the C's said about the veteran ufologist Dr Jacques Vallee:
Q: (L) Uri Geller sent an e-mail to the mail list recommending that people visit Brother Blue's web site for info on the Aviary. Then he says that he has personally known and been involved with these 'birds.' Anyway, there is this whole deal going on with Vallee being caught in a lie on the mail list. Are they trying to assassinate him or is he really a bad guy?
A: Vallee is not sticking to the "program."
Laura wanted to know what program the C's were referring to. I had the benefit of watching an
Ancient Aliens episode devoted to Vallee last week and it made me think more about the C's reference to the "program". Vallee was certainly an insider for a while who like Hal Puthoff worked for the CIA sponsored
Stanford Research Institute (SRI). This would bring him into contact with many of the people I mentioned in my previous email on this subject. Quoting from Vallee's Wikipedia entry:
Via professional association with SRI and independent friendships with Harold E. Puthoff and Central Intelligence Agency analyst Kit Green (who obtained a temporary security clearance for him in 1974), Vallée was intermittently consulted on classified remote viewing research (including the Stargate Project) throughout the 1970s and 1980s. During the early SRI experiments (led by Puthoff and Russell Targ in conjunction with Green as CIA contract monitor), he became acquainted with Uri Geller, Edgar Mitchell, Charles Musès, Andrija Puharich, Jack Sarfatti, Arthur M. Young, Edwin C. May, Pat Price and Ingo Swann.
Coming back to the "program", Vallee was unusual among his fellow ufologists of the period in that he recognised the high strangeness (as did journalist John Keel) of the UFO experience rather than just looking at it as a nuts and bolts phenomenon when explaining the Extraterrestrial Hypothesis (ETH). As Wikipedia states:
However, by 1969, Vallée's conclusions had changed, and he publicly stated that the ETH was too narrow and ignored too much data. Vallée began exploring the commonalities between UFOs, cults, religious movements, demons, angels, ghosts, cryptid sightings, and psychic phenomena. His speculation about these potential links was first detailed in his third UFO book, Passport to Magonia: From Folklore to Flying Saucers.
As an alternative to the extraterrestrial visitation hypothesis, Vallée has suggested a multidimensional visitation hypothesis. This hypothesis represents an extension of the ETH where the alleged extraterrestrials could be potentially from anywhere. The entities could be multidimensional beyond space-time; thus they could coexist with humans, yet remain undetected.
Vallée's opposition to the popular ETH was not well received by prominent U.S. ufologists, hence he was viewed as something of an outcast. Indeed, Vallée refers to himself as a "heretic among heretics".
This stance immediately put him at odds with those who viewed the matter purely as a physical phenomenon. If the PTB wanted to preserve the subject as a purely physical phenomenon in order to disguise the hyperdimensional nature of the UAP's and EBE's, then Vallee was definitely departing from the programme. However, this departure from the main stream UAP narrative occurred long before the C's made their comment. So perhaps the "program" could mean something else.
One thing we do know is that the PTB and their various agents, including those in the military and intelligence agencies (especially in the USA), have striven to keep real data and information on the subject under wraps. When the C's made their comment, this was still very much the official position and what limited disclosure there has been up to now has come in recent years. So, how could Vallee have departed from the program? The answer may lie in the fact that Vallee is not just an astrophysicist but also a computer systems analyst, having obtained a Phd in industrial engineering and computer science from Northwestern University in 1967. Indeed, whilst at Northwestern he began to conduct early artificial intelligence research. He would later serve on the National Advisory Committee of the University of Michigan College of Engineering and authored four books on high technology, including Computer Message Systems, Electronic Meetings, The Network Revolution, and The Heart of the Internet.
So, could the C's reference to "program" be a cryptic reference to Vallee's interest in computer science as a means to conduct a deeper analysis of the UAP phenomenon? The answer could be a tentative yes, since the Ancient Aliens episode showed how Vallee used his computer skills to help establish a computer data program, which comprised as many UAP reports and investigations worldwide as he and his collaborators could lay their hands on. This allowed them to build a massive data bank, which could be interrogated in a sophisticated manner so as to try and gain answers to the phenomenon. Indeed, in the Ancient Aliens show, he spoke of enlisting modern artificial intelligence to advance this work. And it would seem that Robert Bigelow, who owned Skinwalker Ranch and the Wilson Ranch in Utah, played a part in the ongoing development of this program. Again, quoting from Vallee's Wikipedia entry:
More recently, he has been associated with Robert Bigelow as a consultant to the National Institute for Discovery Science and a member of the scientific advisory board of Bigelow Aerospace.
“After years of ideological arguments based on anecdotal data the field of UAP research appears ready to emerge into a more mature phase of reliable study,” Vallée wrote in the paper’s abstract. Citing the mounting scientific interest in UAP around the world, based in part on documents conveying an official military interest in these phenomena, the scientist argued that the path forward would require the analysis of hard data, paired with intelligently informed theoretical studies.
“Without pre-judging the origin and nature of the phenomena, a range of opportunities arise for investigation,” Vallée wrote, warning that “such projects need to generate new hypotheses and test them in a rigorous way against the accumulated reports of thousands of observers.”
So, where has this program reached today? Apparently, it has morphed into the Capella Project:
UAP: A Strategy for Research by Jacques Vallee – 2014 GEIPAN
“In the United States the National Institute for Discovery Science (“NIDS”) and the Bigelow Aerospace Corporation have initiated a series of special catalogues to safeguard their own reports from public sources and from their staff. The author was tasked with the development of a data warehouse consisting of 11 separate data bases to support this research. The project is known as “Capella”.
The “Capella” Data Warehouse concept
The overall data structure for Capella has been published in both French and English on the author’s website (www.jacquesvallee.com) under the title: “A System of Classification and Reliability Indicators for the Analysis of the Behaviour of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena.” The data warehouse uses a 6-layer system to describe the behaviour of the phenomenon. It is detailed in reference 10 below, which is also available on the website.
The low signal-to-noise ratio in ufology presents a special challenge, however, and it demands special technical responses by competent information scientists using the latest software tools.“
“The problem was that in 2014, despite the existence of several notable independent catalogs containing information on historical incidents, there was no single collection of reliable UAP reports—a centralized database, in other words—upon which such studies could rely. This had been part of what prompted Vallée to assemble such a database for NIDS, work that would later carry over as Bigelow’s efforts moved out of the private sector and into the official world as part of the Defense Intelligence Agency’s Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Application Program (AAWSAP).
“In the United States the National Institute for Discovery Science (“NIDS”) and the Bigelow Aerospace Corporation have initiated a series of special catalogues to safeguard their own reports from public sources and from their staff,” Vallée wrote in his 2014 paper, adding that he had been asked to develop a UAP data warehouse containing 11 individual databases.
“The project is known as ‘Capella,’” it stated.
“There is such a database. It is the one we built as part of the AATIP/BAASS project in Las Vegas,” Vallée told me. Comprising roughly 260,000 cases from countries around the world, the scientist said during our call that the Capella database had been one of the major focal points of the program.
“Contrary to what people believe, [Capella] is the largest part of the budget that was spent on the classified project,” Vallée said. This included paying for translations of incident reports from Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, and several other languages into English, and providing funding for teams that conducted additional research on-site.
“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.”“

There is one major drawback though and that is, quoting Valle, “
The database is still classified, to my knowledge.” Whether this situation will change or not remains to be seen. If ever it is made public, it would comprise an absolute treasure trove of UAP reports.
The name "Capella" derives from that of the brightest star in the northern constellation of
Auriga. Its name meaning "little goat" in Latin, Capella depicted the goat
Amalthea that suckled Zeus in classical mythology. However, the constellation Auriga means the "Charioteer" in Latin, which seems appropriate in a UAP context given that UAP's have been viewed by some as the chariots of the gods.
