According to the earlier summary of Jacques Vallée's journals, in May 2000 the physician and former CIA officer Kit Green said he had been briefed at a high level about three supposedly verified cases of alien landings, in 1947, 1953 and 1984. He told Vallée he believed only part of what he had been told.[1][10] The entry would fall in Forbidden Science 5: Pacific Heights, covering 2000–2009 and published in January 2023. No readable source quotes it, and searches found no other record of this briefing.[10]
The years
As recorded in the summary, Green did not name the locations.[1] Two of the years match well-known claimed crash retrievals:
- 1947. The Roswell debris in New Mexico, which the Air Force attributes to a Project Mogul balloon train.[13]
- 1953. The alleged crash near Kingman, Arizona, resting mainly on one engineer's account.[12]
- 1984. This case is less clear, and nothing in the sources identifies it.
Green's other briefings
The 2000 remark resembles other occasions when Green said he had been told, or shown, something about alien evidence. In each case he later doubted or retracted it:
- MJ-12, 1988. In a journal entry dated 23 October 1988, Vallée records Green saying MJ-12 existed but "had nothing to do with UFOs". It was a program studying responses to "a psychological warfare attack".[11]
- "From the inside", 1989. In December 1989 Green said he had "confirmation 'from the inside' of an Alien presence", but added, "That doesn't mean I believe it."[11]
- The Pentagon briefings. A memo said to date from 2001, prepared for Robert Bigelow's National Institute for Discovery Science, lists briefings Green received. One was an unofficial Pentagon briefing in about 1987/88, where he was shown "alien autopsy photos and reports"; another was an official CIA briefing in about 1991/92 on autopsy reports. Vallée's journals do not confirm those briefings.[14]
- Retraction. Green later said such emails were private and written "before I learned I was never finally actually shown anything classified".[15]
Vallée himself recorded his wife Janine's suspicion, after one contradictory exchange with Green, that "the Spooks are trying to use me".[7]
Kit Green
Green worked for the CIA from 1969 to 1985, partly on remote viewing and UFOs, and later at General Motors before returning to medicine.[11] One writer places him in the CIA's Life Sciences Division.[3] He is known today for studying people reportedly injured near UAP, with the immunologist Garry Nolan.[4][9] A TweakTown article on those claims refused automated access. The Wikipedia link listed under his name describes an English performer of the same name.[5][8]
Vallée's journals run to seven volumes, from 1957 to 2025.[1][2][10] A review of the sixth volume (2010–2019) notes that its index covers people more than events.[6]
Assessment
Green has never publicly confirmed the details of a briefing on three landings. The entry as summarized is second-hand, with no locations, sources or documents.[1][10] His reported scepticism fits his pattern of passing on what he heard while expressing doubt about it.[11][14] The claim is unverified.
