Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet (U.S. Navy, Ret.) joins Dr. Peter Skafish on The Sol Forum to discuss UAP disclosure, government transparency, the possibility of hidden legacy programs, ocean-based UAP research, and why leadership across science, government, and society will be critical in understanding the phenomenon. Gallaudet shares his perspective on whistleblowers, classified programs, undersea anomalies, experiencers, and the future path toward disclosure.

Dr. Jacques Vallée joins the Sol Forum for a discussion that explores the nature of UAP encounters, the long history of reported patterns, and the possibility of a form of intelligence interacting with humanity in ways we do not fully understand. He reflects on decades of research, offers insights into how we might scientifically approach such a complex subject, and revisits his “control system” theory in light of recent developments in UAP policy and science. The 2025 Sol Foundation Symposium open registration The 2025 Sol Foundation Symposium Please consider joining Sol as a member, your support allows us to finance public education efforts like the Sol Forum and our research: The Sol Foundation Membership Form Dr. Jacques Vallée is a computer and information scientist, an author of several works of science fiction, a venture capitalist, and, of course, a theoretician and investigator of UAP whose scientific work on the phenomena remains unsurpassed and indispensable for anyone pursuing research in the field His thinking about UAP encounters across time and research on data drawn from sources as disparate as field investigations, folklore, medieval art and historical records, and reports to governments have fundamentally shaped the way we think about UAP today.
