As noted in Part 3 of Isaac Koi’s “Best UFO Cases” article (i.e. in the Part entitled “Existing lists by various individuals”), Jacques Vallee has referred to the data of “our circumspect ‘Invisible College’ (a network of scientists who are privately investigating the mystery)” as being “probably the most detailed and best-investigated set of UFO cases ever selected”. Unfortunately, he failed to indicate the relevant selection of cases (see Footnote 3.50).
In another of his books, Jacques Vallee indicated that he considered that “The Valensole case is the best-authenticated close encounter incident in continental Europe” (see Footnote 3.51 and Case 22 in Isaac Koi's “Top 100” article).
It may be possible to draw inferences as to Jacques Vallee’s views on the “best” cases from some comments he made in a yet further book. He has complained that many ufologists confuse “the most publicized cases” with “the most convincing”. In particular, he has complained that the following cases “seem to be totally unknown” (see Footnote 3.52, and see also the discussion in Part 5 of this article), possibly indicating that he considered that these cases are among the most convincing:
(1) the Kelly landing,
(2) the Bismarck case,
(3) the Walesville incident (Case 92 in Isaac Koi's “Top 100” article),
(4) the Loch Raven Dam (Case 100 in Isaac Koi's “Top 100” article).
