Story One: Is the United Nations deeply implicated in the UFO issue?

Story Two: The Russians decide to open a UFO Museum. Hell, it works for the town of Roswell!

Story Three: The Stephenville, Texas UFO - Here comes the website!

Story Four: Jacques Vallee on Coast to Coast - available on download. What are you waiting for?!

    Hi Nick,

    I noticed that JV all but name-checked you when discussing Roswell…
    ;)

    Kind regards,
    Greg

    Hey Greg

    Actually, the scenario as spelled out in my 2005 “Body Snatchers” book was used later by Jacques in his 2007 UFO novel - “Stratageme” (in French and “Stratagem” in English, which is now on Amazon).

    I thought it was kind of cool to see him present the data in his novel, albeit fictionalized.

    I have to say that some (maybe most of Ufology?) thought that the story as fed to me was fiction too (or they prayed it was fiction…).

    However, now that the first issue of Stuart Miller’s new “Alien Worlds” magazine is on the news-stands, I can tell people (as the story is revealed in the mag in an article from me) that I have uncovered official documents on (a) biowarfare in 1940s Lincoln County, New Mexico (where Brazel found the debris) that was linked with Japan’s Unit 731 and issues pertaining to secret Japanese balloon flights; and (b) documents on people with progeria (a condition that manifests with a dwarf-sized body, an enlarged bald head, no body hair and occasionally abnormal numbers of fingers and toes) that were the subject of radiation tests in the summer of 1947 - and these documents were shared with…NEPA: the ill-fated nuclear-aircraft project.

    More notable: the Lincoln County documents story concern a boy who died in the area and who was taken to Fort Stanton, New Mexico…where Japanese POWs and handicapped people were held.

    There’s much more to come too, and all of which paints a very bleak picture of what certain elements of the official world were up to in the late 40s. This is all FOIA material, officially released.

  3. Greg Taylor Says:

    Thanks for the updates - I look forward to a full treatment from you in the near future. Perhaps a summary for Darklore Vol. 2? ;)

    By the way, I think Strategeme (the original French novel) was released early 2006. Jacques self-published the English translation late last year though.

    Kind regards,
    Greg

    Kind regards,
    Greg

    Thanks for clarification re Stratageme pub. date, Greg. Yep, there’s plenty on all this for Darklore II!

  5. Richelle Hawks Says:

    wow. I really need to find this magazine.

    Progeria–I thought this disease presented only among children?

  6. Nick Redfern Says:

    Hi Richelle
    There’s classic progeria that does chiefly affect children. Then, there’s progeria of the adult, which is most prevalent in Japan.

    Best

    You know, I wish Jacques Vallee would take his entire case file database & scan it into a computer & post it for free on the internet. I also wish he had a blog with regular posts on cases. Additionally, I wish I could hang out with his network of scientists & listen to his cases, that would be so f*&^ing cool….

  8. Nick Redfern Says:

    Mr. A:

    I definitely agree. Vallee has contributed so much, but it’s a shame that we don’t see him too much on a regular basis within the subject. He’d be a great blogger, I think, when it comes to UFOs.

  9. Richelle Hawks Says:

    wow.
    so–to follow this story best, would you recommend Body Snatchers, then the alien worlds article? anything else?

  10. Nick Redfern Says:

    Richelle:

    The article in Alien Worlds would be a good place to start, as that reveals the various other (and many little known) places where the basic story was presented long before I wrote Body Snatchers.
    It seems that other researchers had fragments of broadly the same scenario around 16 or 17 years ago.

  11. Stefanos Says:

    It would be interesting if true to see which country/ies within the UN is leading on the disclosure program and are the other Countries really buying into it? Furthermore if extra - terrestrial technology is going to be wheeled out as a result of Disclosure, it might well fuel another Arms/ Technology Race. No wonder Vladmir Putin might be concerned and what if any part would our Cosmic neighbours play in this scenario?
