Hey Rooster—I just completed purchasing the last of the set of the five volume Vallee memoirs “Forbidden Science”.
There are so many interesting little tidbits there.
Vallee gets very frustrated by claims that are difficult to verify—but he keeps trying—for decades.
He is an amazing guy and a true role model for anyone who claims to be a scholar or just seeker of truth.
He has not made the jump I have (concluded that the Secret Space Program is real) but he admits that the .gov coverup of “something” is very real—and that it goes an order of magnitude beyond routine protection of standard military secrets.
One topic—just as an example...
Vallee is very hard on folks who claim that Dulce, NM has a deep underground military base with lots of aliens milling about and human in vats etc etc etc...but he understands that the US Air Force started those rumors to begin with...and admits that there is a lot of verified “weird” stuff happening in the area.
This is a many decades old mystery of just what is going on there...
My gut keeps telling me that (as you have said) the government has been hiding their involvement in something unbelievable massive re: this subject...something truly mindblowing.
