France Made Its UFO Researchers do THIS

That precipitated the entrance of the U.S. into World War II, you know, two years after the start of World War II. That's what precipitated the thing. It was a treason, it was a surprise, it was a catastrophic realization that the world had changed. We may be close to something like that. Jacques Vallée, after close to 70 years of research, believes we may be nearing a moment on the scale of Pearl Harbor, and he made that warning while revealing that France is now asking its UFO researchers to sign secrecy terms. If he is right, the disclosure so many people are waiting for may not arrive as a public announcement. It may arrive inside funded programs that the public can't see. France has been pretty open with the world on this subject, publishing its case files online for nearly 20 years. Now the same office is adding money, adding researchers, and also closing the door. In this report, you will hear why Vallée believes the Pentagon's recent releases fall short, why he believes the U.S. has no power over much of the recovered material, and the one lab result he believes would prove a fragment was engineered. Hey Ufologists, I'm Christina Gomez and this is your UFO News update. The office is GEPAN, the France Space Agency's group for Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena. According to Vallée, it announced a reorganization because of what is happening in the U.S. and elsewhere. Here is what he said on Somewhere in the Skies. We all had to sign a two-page, essentially, security agreement. In other words, yes, we'll continue the research in a new way with probably more resources. But it will be not exactly classified in the military sense, but it's essentially a secret, you know, secret clouds. The research will continue with more resources. And Vallée has also mentioned that he will sit on an advisory board for that group. Vallée believes this is what disclosure will look like everywhere. More funding and more structure, but partly closed. and he's not impressed with how the U.S. has handled it so far. Vallée counts several rounds of Pentagon releases posted online over roughly two months and most describing events from about two years earlier. His problem is not the files themselves. It is what is missing from them. There was a light in the sky. Somebody maybe took a picture. And you're telling me this was really important and nobody followed up right in the pentagon. Right. It was tracked. They had a picture of it. They had a witness. And now all we have is, gee, you know, it's gone. And they throw it to the scientists. You know, that doesn't make any sense. In his view, an object was tracked, photographed, and witnessed, and the public now receives a record with no follow-up, hands it off to scientists to sort out and he argues people should step back because most of what is known came from civilian witnesses not military files and military cases do carry a bunch of weight he explains because the military expects a threat and has better detection systems but he believes Americans view this subject through one moment in their entire history Vallée compares the American reaction to Pearl Harbor, the surprise attack that pulled the U.S. into World War II, and he points out that Americans never forgot it, and that the fear of another surprise still shapes how the military approaches unknown objects. A researcher who has studied this for nearly 70 years now believes we may be close to a moment on that scale He contrasts it with France where he notes most people are more focused on the price of food and gasoline In his view, how a country reacts to disclosure depends on its culture as much as the evidence. Do you think the U.S. treats UAP mainly as a threat and would that change how much the public is told? Well, you tell me. Earlier versions of the UAP Disclosure Act in Congress proposed giving the federal government control over recovered material. Vallee sees a basic problem with that idea. The idea of confiscating all this in the U.S. doesn't make any sense because a lot of that comes from outside. And, you know, the U.S. has no jurisdiction to stop that because other fragments are, you know, at different places, in different labs around the world. The collection he gave to Dr. Gary Nolan at Stanford came largely from France and Spain. Other fragments sit in labs around the world. And he also revealed that during a visit to Russia, he was shown pieces officials there had recovered after reporting a landing. The material, in his words, are all over the world. If you want these updates every day, please subscribe and turn on notifications. Nolan is now organizing and testing that collection, and Vallée offered a clear threshold for what would matter. Many people assume an unusual isotope ratio would prove something came from space. But Vallée disagrees. The moon and Mars rocks that land on Earth vary from our own by only a few percent. A sample that varies by more than 10 percent doesn't happen naturally. So if you find a variation above 10 percent, you have to pay attention. Somebody did it intentionally. Maybe they did it intentionally, you know, on the satellite of Jupiter, or maybe they did it intentionally in Palo Alto, okay, or in London. So I think you have to put all that between parentheses. Each sample needs 10 to 20 readings at $10,000 to $20,000 each with a documented chain of custody, or no journal will publish it. Meanwhile, he notes people are selling so-called Roswell rocks online for $8 million. Vallée also expanded on a recent conversation on the Bigelow podcast about contacting non-human intelligence. They discussed whether artificial intelligence could become the go-between, even bypassing people entirely. Vallée's view is that the AI itself will raise that question. But his bigger focus is human consciousness. From his years at the Stanford Research Institute, where scientists study remote viewing, the practice of describing distant places using only the mind, he reached one conclusion. As far as my experience, that your consciousness extends outside of the brain. And we need to look at it in the brain. Of course, if we destroy parts of the brain, you destroy some aspects of consciousness. He also pointed to farmers who watch their dogs and cattle for reaction to things people can't see. In his view, animals may detect parts of this phenomenon before we do, and he admits this research will be slow and extensive and will need biologists, chemists, and physicists working together. Vallée was open about who his journals are really written for. it's not for casual readers but people in intelligence work who read each volume once and then go back through it with a pencil i've been in places where they wanted to talk to me and they had all seven with little bits of paper sticking out of all seven of them And we went through the whole thing. They said, you're on page 123 in volume 5. You said you met this person. Who was that person? Why did you want to meet them? What happened to them afterwards? You know, what did they have to say? Where did that lead you? Why? He believes the books will become more useful over time as new research teams fail and go looking for who tried the same thing before. And this brings Vallée back to France. He expects disclosure to arrive as funded and partially closed programs, not one public announcement. People hoping for a celebration in the streets, he believes, will be disappointed. And he pointed to the Varginha event in Washington in January 2026, where a Brazilian neurologist described contact with the being that was held at a hospital. Weeks earlier, Brazil's superior military court pointed to its own inquiry, concluding that the case came from mistakes and rumors. Two official sounding answers had no way for the public to test either one. And in an earlier video I did, the full National Press Club event in Washington was covered. So make sure to watch this video next. I'm Christina Gomez. That's it for today. I will see you again tomorrow for another UFO News update. Be safe and remember, keep your eyes on the skies.
