VALLEE, JACQUES
Dr. Jacques Vallee, a formaer principal investigator on Department of Defense computer networking projects, was born in France, where he was trained in astrophysics. He moved to the United States in 1962 and received his Ph.D in computer science in 1967 from Nortwestern University where he was a close associate of the late Dr. J Allen Hynek.
The author of numerous articles and three books about high technology, Dr. Vallee first became interested in UFOs when he witnessed the destruction of tracking tapes of unknown objects at a major observatory. His research into the phenomenon has taken him to many places places in the United States and to many countries around the world, including France, Scotland, Australia, Brazil and Russia. This last journey resulted in his landmark study, 'UFO Chronicles of the Soviet Union'.
Dr. Vallee's unique approach to this phenomenon was crystallized when he served as the real-life model for the character of the French scientist played by Francois Truffaut in Steven Spielberg's film 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind'.

VANDENBERG, HOYT S.
Another alleged member of the Majestic-12 Panel. Following a distinguished career in the Army Air Forces he became the second Director of Central Intelligence in 1946, a position he held until May 1947. In August 1948, when a top secret 'Estimate of the Situation' by ATIC offered its opinion that UFOs were interplanetary, Vandenberg, Air Force Chief of Staff at the time, ordered the document to be burned.
VANDENBERG AFB
Vandenberg Air Force Base. One of many Air Force bases where UFOs have been tracked on radar. It was the location of a missile test on 15th September 1964 in which it was alleged that an Atlas missile was destroyed by a UFO and that this was captured on camera.
VEGA
Members of Confederation of Humans.
VEGANS
Relatively peaceful and gentle humans descended from refugees from the 'Lyran Wars', who work closely with other refugee-colonists now living in the Pleiades, Wolf 424, and elsewhere. Often described as "dark skinned orientals" similar to the native residents of the nation of India (Evadamic).
VEGANS, HUMANOID-TYPE
We're basically going to break up the Vegan genotypes into only two categories. One is humanoid and one is nonhumanoid and these are appearances only, not genetic structures. What we have described to you previously as Vegan is of the humanoid type. Generally you're going to find in the humanoid group that the eyes are very striking. The average eye of the standard Vegan humanoid group has a very large, dark pupil and iris.
The eyes are generally a little angled but still large, and they retain a lid. So it's not like the Zeta, who appear not to have a lid. If they walked down your street they would be very unusual looking, but you would not necessarily think they were alien. They would definitely attract your attention; you might think they had some type of birth defect.
VEGANS, NON-HUMAN TYPE
The second group - nonhuman-type Vegan - is still humanoid, still mammal. When we say nonhuman we are talking about appearance. The appearance of these particular entities can either be insectlike or reptilian.
These are your labels that we apply to the physical appearance of these particular entities. Generally speaking, you will find that the range of skin color will apply the same as the human type. However, there are some groups who not only have a greenish tinge to the hair but also to the skin. It's not very pronounced; we don't want you to think we're talking about some type of green monster.
A basic humanoid entity with a copper base in the skin and bloodstream that gives it a greenish tinge. The eyes are very large and may or may not have a second lid, depending on the planet of origin. They have a very small nose and a pronounced jaw in some cases. The jaw can either be thrust forward (which would give it a reptilian look) or downward which would give it an insect look). We are talking about humanoid-type entities. Called a nonhumanoid type only because of the appearance they are still mammals.
These entities have had communication on your Earth plane with you and have been responsible for some of the stories that circulate about reptilian monsters or cold-blooded aliens, etc. (When one is in fear, when one encounters the unknown, one often exaggerates the experience.) These entities are genetically connected to you. They still procreate as mammals. The base genetic structure is reflective of the template from which your galactic family expresses itself, so they are still part of your family.
VENUSIANS
George Adamski reported several encounters with them In the early 1950s. He claims that they told him they were from Venus. It's an alien race wich looks like the europeans. Allegedly inhabited by physical entities, both human and reptilian, beneath the surface and therefore 'safe' from the extreme surface conditions. Also allegedly inhabited (on the surface?) by human beings, possibly colonists from Terra- Earth, who somehow were able to 'phase' or generate their physical bodies' molecular structure into a '4th dimensional' existence wherein they now allegedly survive unaffected by the harsh 'physical' conditions.
VICTORIAN U.F.O. RESEARCH SOCIETY INC. (VUFORS)
AVUFORS is the largest UFO society in the Southern hemishpere and has been in existence since the 1950s. (membership approx. 400) Regular discussion nights are held and the Society publishes a quarterly magazine called The Australian U.F.O. Bulletin which details UFO related information from Australia and abroad.
VILAXI
Similar vehicles to Vimanas in the Hindu religion, but from legendary Alantis. In pre-accepted-history, There is evidence of a great war that took place between Atlantis, Mu, Rama, and aeveral other "Great Cities" from the previous civilization. This war of wars destroyed much of the evidence of it's existance. The few survivors passed on the history which became legends to our civilization.
VIMANAS
Flying devices are commonplace in many religions, and Hinduism is no exception. According to ancient Sanskrit texts found a few decades ago in a South Indian temple, Vimanas were open topped flying devices, not strictly UFOs identified and they were restricted to the Earth's atmosphere.
Dr Roberto Pinotti is an Italian scientist, and on the 12th of October 1988 was a speaker in the World Space Conference in Bangalore, India. He referred to several Hindu texts and pointed out that Indian gods and heroes fought in the skies using piloted vehicles armed with weapons. These weapons consisted of seven different types of mirrors and lenses which were used for offensive and defensive purposes.
The "Pinjula Mirror" offered a form of "visual shield" preventing the pilots from "evil rays", and the weapon named "Marika" was used to shoot enemy aircraft. Dr Pinotti said that these weapons "do not seem to be too different from what we today call laser technology." The vehicles themselves were made of special heat absorbing metals, called "Somaka, Soundalike and Mourthwika".
According to Dr Pinotti, the "principles of propulsion as far as the descriptions were concerned, might be defined as electrical and chemical, but solar energy was involved as well." Other scientists have put forward the theory that the craft were driven by some sort of mercury ion propulsion system.
Dr Pinotti concluded that the fact that Vimanas were written about hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of years ago, plus that they resembled modern UFOs would suggest that India had a "...superior but forgotten civilisation. In the light of this, we think it will be better to examine the Hindu texts and subject the descriptive models of Vimanas to more scientific scrutiny." "So where does the ET connection come in?" you're asking me.
Well, since the texts were written hundreds or even thousands of years ago, we can safely assume that no human civilization could produce any flying machines, but these Vimanas did exist, along with a mercury ion propulsion system and a form of laser technology, so where could they get the ideas for these devices from? Enter some ET influences and you're away.
But that leads us to the question of "where did all this new technology go?" We don't know, but since the texts exist and the properties of the Vimanas have been proved to be possible by scientists, we know that they did exist.

White Sands Missile Range is located about 100 miles from Roswell and was the site of the first atomic bomb detonation in 1945 (then known as White Sands Proving Ground).
It has various connections the famous Roswell Crash in that personnel at White Sands were the first to report the object in the sky on July 1st 1947, and also that the Roswell case was also thought to of been a missile launched from the site but malfunctioned.
WHITE SIDES
A small mountain, formerly on public land along the military border, that once offered an unobstructed view of the secret Groom Lake air base about 13 miles to the southwest. Discovered by UFO watchers shortly after Bob Lazar came forward with his S-4 flying saucer claims. The name is shown on USGS maps and comes for the mountains light-colors sides. This land was withdrawn from public use along with Freedom Ridge in April 1995 and is no longer legally accessible.

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, as it is now called, has been at the center of most UFO related retrievals in the USA as well as retrieval cases outside the U.S.
The base is alleged to be where all crashed space debris is taken for examination. This debris also includes alleged UFO material as well as space debris from re-entering satellites.
The site houses one of America most highly guarded facilities. This facility is known as the US Air Force System Command Foreign Technology Division.
Many of the stories related here refer to the base as the location where all UFO material is sent for examination and storage. It is also alleged that 'live' as well as dead aliens have been located at this base.
Many of these claims have been made by ex-personnel from the base and from pilot flying the debris onto the base. Also claims from scientists who have been asked to carry out experiments on strange organic cells, and then later were showed the creatures from which the samples were taken. It is now unlikely that anything 'interesting' remains here since FOIA documents have exposed the Top Secret elements of the base. It is also from this site that Project Moon Dust was co-ordinated.

ZULU (UNIVERSAL TIME)
ZAMORA, LONNIE
Sergeant Lonnie Zamora of the Socorro Police Department was the individual who witnessed the Socorro landing in New Mexico on Friday 24 April 1964.
The Project Blue Book investigation stated: "There is no doubt that Lonnie Zamora saw an object which left quite an impression on him. There is also no question about Zamora's reliability. He is a serious officer, a pillar of his church, and a man well versed in recognising airborne vehicles in his area. He is puzzled by what he saw, and frankly , so are we. This is the best documented case on record."

ZETA RETICULI
A binary star system that is roughly 37 light years away from Earth. The aliens that abducted Betty and Barney Hill were calculated to come from a planet in this system, and ROBERT LAZAR claimed that the nine UFOs he saw in S-4 came from one of the planets in the Zeta Reticuli star system.
ZETA RETICULI CIVILIZATION
We'd now like to talk about the entities that you know of as the Zeta Reticuli. The physical characteristics of the Zeta Reticuli that you are already aware of is 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 to, in some cases, 5 feet tall, generally bald, frail-looking, larger-headed in proportion to the body, large eyes that seem to have no lid, very small (if any) nose, mouth and ears. We have given you the story about the Zeta Reticuli.
To encapsulate it here, they were a civilization very much like you who went on a path of (in some ways) self-destruction, a specie crisis. They caught it before they were annihilated. However, they found themselves sterile. They performed genetic engineering, cloning, etc. to change their species and so you have the Zeta Reticuli you see today.
