Vallée, a renowned scientist and UFO investigator, was the inspiration for the French scientist character in Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind, played by François Truffaut.

In his interview, he described the alleged August 1945 crash of an avocado-shaped ‘craft’ on the edge of the atomic bomb testing site near San Antonio, New Mexico – about 100 miles from the infamous Roswell crash two years later.
