Jacques Valle e. Livres

Jacques Vallee, a mathematician and astronomer, discusses and explores many of the most interesting reports of UFO sightings from 1868-1968.

In a comprehensive resource, the authors document more than 500 pre-20th-century UFO accounts, from biblical times to the end of the 19th century, just before humans took to the sky themselves. Original.

"Italian investigative journalist Paola Leopizzi Harris and French-born information scientist Dr. Jacques F. Vallée have teamed up to uncover the details of a New Mexico crash in 1945, fully two years before the well-known incident at Roswell and the famous sighting by pilot Kenneth Arnold in 1947. Over several site investigation surveys Harris and Vallée reconstructed the historic observations by five witnesses, three of whom are still living, who described to them the circumstances of the crash, with details of the recovery of a nearly-intact flying vehicle and its occupants by an Army detachment. Combining their long experience in field research around the world, the authors have documented the step-by-step efforts by the military to remove the object, an avocado-shaped craft weighing several tons, from the property where it crash-landed during a storm"--

What is the nature of unidentified aerial phenomena? Forty years ago, a small group of dedicated researchers began investigating cases, interviewing witnesses, and sharing data through an informal international network. This "invisible college" has since expanded into a larger, multi-national volunteer research effort. However, the questions raised four decades ago remain unanswered. Jacques Vallee posits that a powerful force has influenced humanity, questioning whether it stems from alien intervention or human consciousness. Dr. Vallee's work stands apart from other UFO literature, as he challenges widely accepted beliefs and presents data that defies conventional theories. He offers his own hypothesis, making it a unique contribution to the field. Notably, he emphasizes the connection between UFOs and psychic events, highlighting the importance of myth, tradition, and belief systems in understanding these phenomena. Dr. Jacques Vallee began his career as an astronomer at the Paris Observatory in 1961. His interest in UFOs was sparked by witnessing the destruction of tracking tapes of unknown objects while working for the French Space Committee. After moving to the U.S. and earning a Ph.D. in computer science, he collaborated with J. Allen Hynek on Project Blue Book, leading to the creation of this work. Vallee is now a venture capitalist based in San Francisco.

"Ich wäre enttäuscht, wenn die Ufos nicht mehr wären als bloß Besucher von einem anderen Planeten. Wir haben es hier mit einer noch unerforschten Ebene des Bewußtseins zu tun, die unabhängig von uns Menschen existiert und die ganz eigene Beziehungen zu kosmischen Kräften unterhält." Jacques Vallee glaubt Belege dafür zu haben, daß die Außerirdischen schon seit Jahrtausenden auf der Erde leben.
