Recorded earlier today, parked up in the central car park at Brandon, Suffolk.Engine off. Windows down. Ambient sound drifting through.
This transmission grew out of something small — a single line spoken by Jacques Vallée in a short video message recorded for a conference organised by filmmaker James Fox.
But it’s the kind of line that lingers.
Vallée describes the UFO phenomenon as:
“an extraterrestrial phenomenon empowered by advanced artificial intelligence.”
That phrasing is unusual for Vallée.And if you’ve followed his work over the decades, you’ll know why.
This isn’t the language of casual speculation. It feels deliberate. Compressed. Carefully chosen.
In this episode I explore why that single sentence may be hinting at something much larger — and why certain sectors of intelligence and defence science may already have a working model of what’s going on, even if they’ll never say it outright.
I also bring in Luis Elizondo — who often presents as a regular, grounded guy, but very much isn’t — and his repeated references to the 1973 science-fiction novel Chains of the Sea.
That book isn’t name-checked by accident. It’s not idle talk. It’s a signal.
Together, these threads seem to be circling something that can’t be stated directly:ideas adjacent to the Simulation Hypothesis, questions about non-human intelligence, and the unsettling possibility that humans may not be central — or even particularly important — in the wider structure of reality.
I also touch on why real disclosure, if it ever happened, wouldn’t simply shock people…it would destabilise them.
Not because of aliens.But because of what it would do to identity, meaning, and the idea that someone — or something — is watching over us.
This isn’t a conclusion.It’s an observation from the edge of the map.
Nothing here is guaranteed.Nothing is written in stone.
Remember the dinosaurs.
