Brother Jacques Vallee<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>"There is a feeling that I get in the course of my investigations of being in the presence of a form of consciousness that is truly remarkable. That consciousness has a great sense of absurdity, and also a great sense of humor.

No matter what we read, no matter what our own experiences with the phenomena, the strangeness and absurdity of the reports keep us wondering just what is really going on. For some, the question is of the utmost importance, for others it is treated as an entertaining oddity. For those of us who have had some kind of encounter with UFOs, the experience wil continue to be a critical question mark behind our taken-for-granted assumptions about the world. We may never find out what they are, but we certainly appreciate any reasonable suggestions as to their ultimate nature<br><br>Brother Jacques stateth:<br> <br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.greylodge.org/occultreview/glor_002/vallee.htm">Full Article-Excerpts from an Holy Interview with our Beloved Brother Jacques Vallee</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br><br>"<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Editor</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->: At the A.R.E. conference I was interested to hear during your presentation of how back in the 1980s you had acted as a consultant to the Stanford Research Institute's remote viewing program and learned that many remote viewers (a fact that was never publicized) had ascribed their talents to what we call UFOs. Please tell us a little more about this, and of your interest in the remote viewing subject.<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Jacques Vallee</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->: I knew the founders of the project at the Parapsychology Research group in Palo Alto before they joined SRI. When their work began in 1971 I happened to be a senior researcher in one of the computer development labs there, so I became an informal (unpaid!) member of the team. When it turned out that many of their subjects had experienced UFOs, they brought me into the project on a strictly confidential basis to document that aspect of the problem. Ingo Swann and I had many discussions when he first came to SRI and began structuring the program, interviewing some of the Institute scientists. I told him I thought the problem would be best approached as an information processing problem rather than a signal transmission problem, as the physicists and engineers planned to do. I showed him how software specialists handle data, either by direct addressing, indirect addressing, virtual addressing, etc. Ingo gives me credit for orienting him to the idea of coordinate remote viewing, where geographic coordinates constitute the address. Later this was expanded to other forms of targeting, but the project never explored what I thought could have been the real breakthrough research, because they were under constant pressure from mission-oriented sponsors. Ten years later, well after I had left SRI, I was asked to come back into the project as a consultant. I was briefed on Grill Flame and formally trained by Ingo. I think I'm the only one from that team who hasn't written a book about remote viewing!"<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.mysterious-america.net/jacquesvalleeint.html">Full Article-An Interview with Jacques Vallee"</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> <p></p><i></i>
