classified project ready to kill them to capture their data.
Personal diary of a scientist exploring the frontiers of research
In DIMENSIONS, the first volume of a trilogy, Dr. Jacques Vallee
reexamines the historical record that led to the modern UFO
phenomenon and to the belief in alien contact. He then tackles the
enigma of abduction reports, which come from various times and
various countries, as well as the psychic and spiritual components
of the contact experience. In the last portion of the book, he
notes the factors that inhibit research into the phenomenon--the
triple coverup and political motivations--and concludes that the
extraterrestrial theory is simply not strange enough to explain the
facts.
Personal diary of a researcher at the frontiers of science.
One of the most ambitious works of paranormal investigation of our
time, here is an unprecedented compendium of pre-twentieth-century
UFO accounts, written with rigor and color by two of today's
leading investigators of unexplained phenomena.
In the past century, individuals, newspapers, and military
agencies have recorded thousands of UFO incidents, giving rise to
much speculation about flying saucers, visitors from other planets,
and alien abductions. Yet the extraterrestrial phenomenon did not
begin in the present era. Far from it. The authors of "Wonders in
the Sky" reveal a thread of vividly rendered-and sometimes
strikingly similar- reports of mysterious aerial phenomena from
antiquity through the modern age. These accounts often share
definite physical features- such as the heat felt and described by
witnesses-that have not changed much over the centuries. Indeed,
such similarities between ancient and modern sightings are the rule
rather than the exception.
In "Wonders in the Sky," respected researchers Jacques Vallee and
Chris Aubeck examine more than 500 selected reports of sightings
from biblical-age antiquity through the year 1879-the point at
which the Industrial Revolution deeply changed the nature of human
society, and the skies began to open to airplanes, dirigibles,
rockets, and other opportunities for misinterpretation represented
by military prototypes. Using vivid and engaging case studies, and
more than seventy-five illustrations, they reveal that unidentified
flying objects have had a major impact not only on popular culture
but on our history, on our religion, and on the models of the world
humanity has formed from deepest antiquity.
Sure to become a classic among UFO enthusiasts and other followers
of unexplained phenomena, "Wonders in the Sky" is the most
ambitious, broad-reaching, and intelligent analysis ever written on
premodern aerial mysteries.
In REVELATIONS, the final volume of a trilogy, Dr. Jacques Vallee
presents startling evidence that well-constructed hoaxes and media
manipulations have misled UFO researchers, diverting them from the
UFO phenomenon itself. Vallee takes readers step by step into the
tangled web of UFOlogy's dark side, in an effort to clear the
ever-thickening underbrush that has obscured the real nature of the
UFO phenomenon.
Too many cases of "accidental" alien contact...UFO cults praying to
the skies...secret "psychotronic" weapons for bending the human
mind. The evidence Jacques Vallee reveals, after many years of
scientific investigation, adds up to something more menacing than
monsters from outer space. Messengers of Deception documents the
growing effect of UFO contact claims on our lives and of the belief
systems prevalent in our society. It explores the hidden realities
of the cults, the contactees, the murky political intrigues and the
motivations of the investigators. "As suspenseful as a Hitchcock
Thriller, brilliantly argued . . . a smashing achievement." -
Robert Anton Wilson
