Additional Description

General

The box labelled B14 contains files, graphs, numerical tables and reports from scientific analyses, entrusted to Jacques Vallee by Professor Peter Sturrock in 2015. The work was primarily concerned with samples recovered in Ubatuba, Brazil following the reported explosion of an unknown flying object and obtained by the APRO group from their reliable Brazilian contact, Dr. Olavo Fontes. Element and Isotopic analysis was conducted at Stanford University, the University of Paris and various other specialized sites.
