Legendary ufologist Dr Jacques Vallee has dismissed the Roswell UFO incident as a topic not worthy of serious attention, and criticized the state of modern research into the UFO phenomenon. In an interview with the free online magazine Sub Rosa, Vallee labeled Roswell as a waste of valuable time and resources. "Roswell, in my opinion, is a blind alley," he said. "It is a major tactical mistake to base the argument for UFOs entirely on a case that has so little scientific evidence and so much ambiguous and conflicting testimony surrounding it."When asked about the state of ufology in 2006, Vallee was hardly impressed. "It’s a mess," he claimed. "By centering the whole discussion of the phenomenon on highly-charged, but poorly-researched issues like Roswell and abductions, ufologists have lost credibility, alienated the scientific public and opened the floodgates to hundreds of Internet sites where the wildest rumors circulate."

Vallee revealed that, due to these factors, UFO research was going underground, with scientists interested in the topic forming what he called an "Invisible College". Other stories in the most recent issue of Sub Rosa include a profile of cryptozoologist Loren Coleman, an article on the 'Skinwalker Ranch' in Utah, Margaret Starbird on Jesus and the Magdalene, and a fascinating insight into Timothy Leary's fascination with Aleister Crowley.
