This English archival rendition clarifies a name, removes repetitions and supplies a sentence missing from the earlier Portuguese version. Vallée recalls offering research assistance at OSTP in September 1977; this differs from an accepted appointment or access to files. Statements about withheld records are relayed from an unnamed official. His own document and disclosure efforts lack their originals here. Conditional non-extraterrestrial and deception explanations remain alongside his speculative physical interpretation.
Hynek recalls becoming an Air Force astronomical consultant in 1948 and observing reports and their institutional treatment. He acknowledges misidentifications and sensational narratives while arguing that a residual dataset deserves investigation. Claims about patterns, physical effects and the Condon report lack their supporting records here. His methodological appeal is to establish legitimate empirical data before testing extraterrestrial visitation; professional standing and sincere testimony do not eliminate mistakes.
