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.
About
Jacques Vallee...
Dr. Jacques
Vallee was born in France, where he received a
Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics from the Sorbonne and a
Master of Science in astrophysics from the University of Lille. He
began his professional life as an astronomer at the Paris Observatory
in 1961. While on the staff of the French Space Committee, he witnessed
the destruction of the tracking tapes of unknown objects orbiting the
earth, initiating a lifelong interest in the UFO phenomenon. Vallee
arrived in the U.S. in 1962, worked in astronomy at the University of
Texas at Austin, and wrote two highly respected scientific examinations
arguing for the Extraterrestrial Hypothesis (ETH) of UFO origins. In
1967, he received a Ph.D. in computer science from Northwestern
University, where he became a close associate of J. Allen Hynek, then
scientific consultant for the U.S. Air Force on Project Blue Book.
Eventually concluding that the ETH was too narrow to encompass the
burgeoning UFO data, he conducted his own extensive global research,
resulting in the “Alien Contact Trilogy.” Dr. Vallee is presently a
venture capitalist living in San Francisco. His website is www.jacquesvallee.com.

What they're
saying...
“[A]
bracing finale to Vallee’s ‘Alien Contact trilogy’ … Here, deftly
blending theory and memoir, he attempts to clear UFOlogy of ‘the weeds
and the vines of human fantasy and...the poisonous flowers of
unbalanced minds’ …[This is] a forceful and refreshingly iconoclastic
study that, for all its good sense, will likely add up to only a cry in
the alien-infested UFO wilderness.” – Kirkus Reviews
“Vallee
[is] a respected investigator in a difficult field…Readers with some
background in the puzzling UFO phenomenon of the last 40 years will
appreciate his insights. He pulls no punches with both government
obfuscation and the lunatic fringe of UFO cultists. Most valuable is
his international scope…Recommended.” – Library Journal
