Vallee's Trinity book may have precedence?

 Dan Harran, in his Who Are They Really?, presents several UFO encounters from native American Ardy Sixkiller Clarke’s Encounters with Star People.

 
Two of Clarke’s accounts ring similarly to Jacques Vallee’s Trinity book, indicating that Vallee’s story either has precedence or was instigated by one of the tales or both recounted by Sixkiller Clarke in her book.
 
I photographed the openings of the two Trinity-like UFO tales:

I can scan the full accounts as they appear in Harran’s book and will provide them here if anyone is interested.

 
Since Vallee and his collaborator -- Paola Leopizzi Harris – investigated their finding, it seems that they didn’t plagiarize anything from Clarke’s book, but may have been inspired by it.
 
It is odd that two of Sixkiller’s recovered Amerindian lore are so similar to what Vallee and Harris recount.
 
Apparently there is some meat in the Vallee/Harris book which, as I noted when it was published, had a terrible tinge of hokiness and falsity about it.
 
But there are details in the full accounts that Harran offers, details that rub up against what Vallee and Harris presented from their investigation.
 
So, maybe a UFO did crash in New Mexico around 1945 and the military went looking for it. And entities interacted with locals.
 
That aside, the stories told by Darren and Harrison and presented “verbatim” by Harran are fascinating, even though hokey and science-fictional in tone.
 
Yet, there is something about them that instills the possibility of truth…..or something like truth.
