About
This project was built to digitize and structure the vast catalogs of unexplained aerial phenomena and close encounters collected by Jacques Vallée and his collaborators. Currently, the database contains over 1,450 cases spanning from Antiquity to the modern era.
Each case includes the date, location, a detailed description, and the original source citation. By standardizing this data, the wiki makes historical and modern reports fully searchable and cross-referenced. Cases sharing locations, dates, or specific phenomena are linked automatically via Quartz backlinks and tags.
