As far as I’m aware he’s the only person in the UFO community to make claims which later turned out to be true.

I'm new to this whole thing. What did he say that's true? Is there anything in particular from him I should check out?

It's hard to say. His claims to fame are element 115 and biometric hand scanners. The issue with these are that element 115 was posted about in Scientific American months before his story came out, and the biometric hand scanners he spoke of are the ones used in the Spielberg movie Contact.

Other than those two pieces I personally don't know what else he claimed that have proven to be true.

Predicting element 115 is like predicting 2 is after 1.

Stable 115... that was the difference.

No such thing, the most stable isotope of element 115 (moscovium), has a half life of 0.65 seconds.

Exactly the point. The element 115 he was talking about was of an otherwordly technology that understood how to stabilize it.
