For the first time, a peer-reviewed UFO/UAP paper has been published in Progress in Aerospace Sciences, the world’s top aerospace journal. Dr. Jacques Vallée explains this UFO case, buried for 50 years, on The Good Trouble Show, whether the Trump administration will disclose the reality of UFOs / UAP, and the upcoming Congressional UFO hearing chaired by Congresswoman Anna Paulina-Luna.
On The Good Trouble Show with Matt Ford, investigative journalist Matt Ford speaks with Dr. Jacques Vallée about a historic breakthrough in UFO/UAP research. For the first time ever, a peer-reviewed scientific paper on a UFO case has been accepted into Progress in Aerospace Sciences—the aerospace science journal read worldwide.
Co-authored by Dr. Jacques Vallée and two other researchers, Luc Dini and Geoffrey Mestchersky, the paper re-examines a forgotten 1966 case from the infamous Condon Report, long thought to have “debunked” UFOs. Instead, their findings show nuclear-level energy output from a small unidentified object—evidence now recorded in the highest levels of the scientific record.
Vallée also discusses the upcoming UAP hearing in Congress and weighs in on whether the Trump administration might disclose the UAP reality.
We discuss: • How Vallée’s peer-reviewed UAP paper made it into Progress in Aerospace Sciences • Why the Condon Report didn’t truly debunk UFOs • How one-third of its cases remained unexplained • The links to Project Blue Book, J. Allen Hynek, and Hector Quintanilla • What this means for disclosure, UAP news 2025, and the future of UFO science
