“The problem was that in 2014, despite the existence of several notable independent catalogs containing information on historical incidents, there was no single collection of reliable UAP reports—a centralized database, in other words—upon which such studies could rely. This had been part of what prompted Vallée to assemble such a database for NIDS, work that would later carry over as Bigelow’s efforts moved out of the private sector and into the official world as part of the Defense Intelligence Agency’s Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Application Program (AAWSAP).

“In the United States the National Institute for Discovery Science (“NIDS”) and the Bigelow Aerospace Corporation have initiated a series of special catalogues to safeguard their own reports from public sources and from their staff,” Vallée wrote in his 2014 paper, adding that he had been asked to develop a UAP data warehouse containing 11 individual databases.

“The project is known as ‘Capella,’” it stated.

 . . . 

“There is such a database. It is the one we built as part of the AATIP/BAASS project in Las Vegas,” Vallée told me. Comprising roughly 260,000 cases from countries around the world, the scientist said during our call that the Capella database had been one of the major focal points of the program.

“Contrary to what people believe, [Capella] is the largest part of the budget that was spent on the classified project,” Vallée said. This included paying for translations of incident reports from Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, and several other languages into English, and providing funding for teams that conducted additional research on-site.

“It was a large effort for two years, Vallée said, though he added that in reality, “probably close to fifty or sixty years of work went into the database.”“

 “Skinwalkers at the Pentagon”

Appendix 1 to the 2021 book “Skinwalkers at the Pentagon” provided, inter alia, a listing of the individual databases which comprised the Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) UAP data warehouse, named CAPELLA by its originator Jacques Vallee. Listed there were the following individual spreadsheets:

1. 1. NIDS spreadsheet – 1946-2004, 1570 cases.
   2. Pilot spreadsheet – 1942-2007, 483 records.
   3. Sign/Grudge/Blue Book spreadsheet – 1947-1969, 15674 cases.
   4. UFOCAT spreadsheet – 1000-2008, 203805 cases.
   5. Project Colares spreadsheet – 1977-1978, 356 cases.
   6. Canadian release spreadsheet – 1971-1981, 795 cases.
   7. United Kingdom release spreadsheet – 1950-1997, 2879 cases.
   8. BAASS spreadsheet – 1999-2010, 27 cases.
   9. Utah Ranch spreadsheet – 1950-2012, 582 cases.
