Not really research into new phenomenon. Rather this is looking for new ways to use Monte Carlo techniques to look at old reports
This can lead to very irresponsible conclusions if one is not careful
You can’t consider lights in the sky anomalies, just as we have stealth technology, an advanced civilization that clearly does not want to be seen should have no trouble hiding from us in plain sight.
Vallée kind of rhymes with loony.
It’s not good when the author, who is supposedly a professor, doesn’t know simple English: “Unidentified aerial phenomena, commonly referred to as UFOs, has been the focus...”
Jacques Vallee’s theory is that UFOs and related phenomena are a cultural phenomenon. Human understanding of the unknown changes with time.
People saw it differently down through the centuries, informed by the constraints of the culture. In other words, we explain the unknown in terms familiar to our beliefs.
Even if its nothing like that at all.
