In your experience, does racism play into how calls are responded to?

I ask because I once called 911. I was living in the ghetto at the time, and outside a group of young men were assaulting a woman on the street in broad daylight. I won't get into details, but it was one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen.

The dispatcher asked for ethnicity and a description. I identified both the attackers and victim as being black.

When a cop car came by a few minutes later, everyone scattered. The car slowly rolled by as two thugs grabbed the girl and dragged her into a nearby parking lot, away from the cruiser. The cops didn't even come to a complete stop before leaving.

To this day I believe that if I had said the girl was white and the attackers black, the cops would have actually responded.

A related question: could I get in trouble for intentionally lying about the race of a victim in order to entice cops to actually do their job?

I retired with over 10,000 hours.

I don't think most redditors get how impressive this is. You have my respect sir.

If you want to see some vintage Vallee database gathering, check out his article in the same edition "UFO Research in the U.S.A.: Part I - The Purpose of the Survey" (pages 32-36).

/r/UAP exists if you want to stay on reddit. We don't have any specific posts on this report, but do have many on Vallee's work in general.

And yes, by the way, I have plans for future investigations.

For the interested, the French space agency CNES hosted a conference on the gathering of "UFO" reports and data in 2014:
