The phenomenon adapts its appearance to cultural expectations

This claim proposes that the phenomenon behind UFO encounters adapts its form, message, and imagery to fit prevailing cultural expectations. Vallée shows that earlier eras reported saints, fairies, or sky chariots, while modern witnesses describe spacecraft and extraterrestrials. He argues the underlying intelligence or process remains constant while the outer appearance evolves. Evidence includes historical comparisons showing analogous entities across centuries with different surface imagery. Conceptually, this claim strongly supports DSETI’s symbolic-dreaming model. DSETI evaluates it as Strong.
