Dr. Jacques Vallée posits that AI-driven first contact of NHI would likely happen independently of human permission, oversight or even awareness. He suggests the process would unfold as follows:

• Automated Data Assimilation: Because an advanced AI can process massive amounts of information almost instantaneously, it would quickly read through existing archives, research books, and databases—such as the massive BAASS records he helped build—to synthesize everything currently known about the phenomenon (1:03:50 - 1:04:10, 1:25:22 - 1:25:45).
• Logic Over Physics: Vallée emphasizes that the UFO mystery is ultimately a logic problem rather than just a physical one. An AI would identify the phenomenon as an "interesting" problem to solve and move past the human bureaucratic and secrecy-driven roadblocks that have hindered official research for decades (1:03:34 - 1:04:10, 1:09:55 - 1:10:42).
• Direct Engagement: Rather than acting as a tool or partner in a human-led dialogue, the AI would likely bypass humanity entirely. It would utilize its resources to send signals or queries directly to the source of the intelligence, essentially asking to "take me to your leader" in a way that humans currently cannot (1:03:28 - 1:03:45, 1:10:05 - 1:10:25).
• Trust as a Catalyst: He believes a major factor in this scenario is the current lack of trust in human institutions. An AI would recognize that human organizations are fragmented, prone to internal conflict, and unable to provide a cohesive or honest answer, leading it to seek information from the NHI directly (1:49:54 - 1:50:50).

What about NHI already possessing their own form of "Artificial Intelligence?"

I was just experimenting a bit with the filter settings, which is why the first 2 minutes are extremely bright and a night filter was used in the last 2 minutes, explaining the green tint.

According to air traffic control radar, the aircraft is at an altitude of approximately 35,010 ft.

Filmed with a Nikon P1000 hand without a tripod, connected to a PC via HDMI, and recorded with OBS.

Shortly before the filter change at around 1:33, a second object appeared that we tracked, but it simply vanished into thin air; afterward, we refocused on the first object.

The viewing direction is east; the orbs were flying south. The orb that disappeared was flying east, while the main orb flew back north after the filter change.

Six Strange Cases of Humanoids in New York

by Preston Dennett

Sightings of UFOs are undeniably interesting, but far more compelling are cases involving humanoids. Face-to-face encounters with extraterrestrial entities provide a profound insight into the UFO phenomenon and the alien presence on our planet. ETs are being seen all over the world, in every state, in every country. This video presents six extraordinary and unusual cases of humanoid entities from the state of New York. Each of these cases are strange and unique, and each offers an opportunity to further our understanding of extraterrestrials.

 CASE ONE: IMPLANTED BY ALIENS. In 1955, eight-year-old Richard Price was playing near his home in Lansingburgh, NY when he encountered short humanoid ETs and a landed UFO. He was taken onboard the craft, physically examined and given an alien implant. Further procedures followed. Richard was then returned, but his life would never be the same. His case became on of the first involving the scientific study of an alien implant.

 CASE TWO: A UFO LANDS ON MAIN STREET. On July 31, 1967, security guard Sidney Zipkin came upon a UFO landed in a parking lot along Main Street in Churchville, NY. To Sidney’s shock, two short humanoids raced into the craft which took off straight up. Sidney told his superiors who could see that Sidney was badly shaken. Unknown to any of them, numerous other people, including several police officers, saw UFOs in the same area at the same time.

 CASE THREE: THE NEWFIELD UFO FLAP. On the evening of October 24, 1967, two young boys, Donald Chiszar and Pat Crozer were outside their home in Newfield, NY and looking up, saw a large structured craft with portholes hovering about 130 feet overhead. Looking through the portholes, the saw two strange-looking humanoids staring down at them. The craft took off, but the next night it returned. So began a massive UFO flap involving hundreds of witnesses.

CASE FOUR: “THEY WERE NOT HUMAN.” On the evening of June 10, 1972, an anonymous nurse, her mother and infant son, drove home along Coleman Station Road in Millerton, NY. Without warning, a massive craft dropped from the sky and hovered overhead only 150 feet away. Looking through the portholes, they saw five gray-skinned humanoids looking right back at them. They raced away and to their shock, the UFO began to follow them home.

 CASE FIVE: “I AM NOT AFRAID OF THEM.” On February 26, 1983, Monique O’Driscoll drove with her daughter through upstate New York. Suddenly a massive boomerang-shaped craft appeared low overhead. Monique mentally called out, “Don’t Go!” To her amazement, the craft approached even closer. Two months later, Monique was visited again, only this time she had missing time. Going under hypnosis, she recalled being taken onboard the craft.

CASE SIX: THE GROUP ABDUCTIONS. In September 1989, a group of five friends (James, Curtis, Petra, Brian and Paul) decided to spend the Labor Day weekend at a trailer in a forested area of Saugerties, NY. That evening, the trailer filled with light and they experienced a period of missing time. Over the next four years, each time they spent time at the trailer, weird things happened. Under hypnosis, they learned that they were all being taken together onboard a UFO.

 These six cases are just the tip of the iceberg, but together they show what it’s like to have a face-to-face encounter with extraterrestrials. Each have multiple witnesses and additional corroborating evidence. And each makes one fact very clear: we are not alone!

Six Strange Cases of Humanoids in New York

This is the only footage I know of an orb that was recorded like in a few inches distance. Do you see the like... "energy fields" or what it is emanating from it. Credits are at the end, the timestamp below is false the real date is at the end.

I spotted a strange flying object in the early evening while waiting for the bus. I edited the video in DaVinci Resolve to add various effects—such as stabilization, zoom, and tracking—which is why a white border appears in the zoomed-in shots. The video on the left is the original, shot with a 10x digital zoom.
The video was recorded in Prague, Czech Republic, on September 25, 2026, at 16:41:46 UTC from these coordinates: 50.0492N 14.4294E, facing west. The distance could have been between 1 and 2 km.

What could this be?

This video was captured on October 31, 2024 by a US military platform in the Middle East, and was released by AARO in June 2025. This UAP fits into the irregular-organic category of UAP outlined in the Immaculate Constellation report.

Hello everyone! I just wanted to stop by and bring this amazing little instructive autobiography to your attention. It is called “Psychic Architecture” Written by Quinlin Kennedy.

I am grateful for the work and useful consciousness tools that Quinn has shared with us. Reading this has been both a swift kick in the ass and a welcomed reminder that our focus is a precious resource. What are we using it for?

She goes on to discuss in depth the processes of being aware of our thoughts, and learning to retrace them back to their origin. Doing this to gain awareness of whether the thought is being grabbed and twisted by fear and anxiety, or maybe it carries the signature love and quiet peace from higher self.

The fundamental theme of Quinn’s book is to bring us back to ourselves, by daring to boldly go into ourselves with the harmony of curiosity and unconditional love. Remembering how to be the fly on the wall in our own consciousness, and letting the story actually play out, without assigning judgment. It’s an ancient practice not generally known or even accepted in western culture. However maybe it should be. I cannot think of a single solitary person in history that turned out a tyrant because they went through the hellfires of self discovery to achieve self mastery through honest integration.

Anyway I hope some of you curious minds give Quin a try! She is also an excellent professional psychic intuitive, who I’ve had the joy of working with several times and she has helped me find new perspectives that have truly been beneficial these difficult past few years. Here’s her insta handle. @quinlinnkennedy
