When I was 13 years old I read a book called Anatomy of a Phenomenon by a 25-year-old French astronomer named Jacques Vallee. The book had a profound impact on me. Fast forward 52 years,  I began publishing the Journals of Jacques Vallee, who is now regarded worldwide as a pioneer in the scientific approach to UFO research. Now, this summer, I have the honor of publishing through Anomalist Books the last volume of his Journals: Forbidden Science 7: Final Report: The Journals of Jacques Vallee 2020-2025. The book is a notable capstone to a remarkable career seeking to understand the UFO phenomenon. Or as Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet, U.S. Navy (ret.), former Under Secretary of Commerce, put it: “Supremely articulate, exceedingly insightful, and wonderfully human in his powerful personal narrative, Vallee takes us on the last five years of a journey begun in 1956. With reference to his peerless record of research, this book serves as the culmination of an epic UFO odyssey that has revealed a new reality, altering the arc of human history.”
