🛸📚 UFO researcher Jacques Vallée says the essential disclosure has already happened. The remaining argument, in his view, is about the nature of the reality behind it.
Vallée, a computer scientist, astronomer, author, and longtime UFO researcher, made the point during the September 15 episode of the Bigelow Podcast. He joined aerospace entrepreneur Robert Bigelow and biochemist Colm Kelleher in a conversation hosted by investigative journalist George Knapp.
His argument is not that governments have released every file or answered every question. It is that public acknowledgment of a real phenomenon has crossed a threshold. From there, the dispute shifts to what kind of reality people are dealing with: advanced technology, a consciousness-linked system, something interdimensional, or a category not yet described well by any of those labels.
The conversation coincides with Vallée's Forbidden Science 7: Final Report, the latest volume of journals covering 2020 through 2025. Those years include renewed congressional attention, military reporting systems, and increasingly public arguments over recovered material and nonhuman intelligence.
If disclosure means admitting the phenomenon is real, Vallée may be right. If it means establishing origin, mechanism, and accountability, the hardest work may still be ahead. Which definition of disclosure matters most to you?
