Dr. Jacques Vallée joins the Sol Forum for a discussion that explores the nature of UAP encounters, the long history of reported patterns, and the possibility of a form of intelligence interacting with humanity in ways we do not fully understand. He reflects on decades of research, offers insights into how we might scientifically approach such a complex subject, and revisits his “control system” theory in light of recent developments in UAP policy and science.

Dr. Jacques Vallée is a computer and information scientist, an author of several works of science fiction, a venture capitalist, and, of course, a theoretician and investigator of UAP whose scientific work on the phenomena remains unsurpassed and indispensable for anyone pursuing research in the field His thinking about UAP encounters across time and research on data drawn from sources as disparate as field investigations, folklore, medieval art and historical records, and reports to governments have fundamentally shaped the way we think about UAP today.
