Surprisingly grounded book on various aspects of the UFO phenomenon. It is well-researched and also introduces the reader to the opinions, speculations and conclusions of other well-known researchers in the field such as Jacques Vallee and more. All in all, a well-rounded, quite encompassing and most of all very up-to-date work of non-fiction on a topic that is well on its way to getting its well-known recognition as a serious research item.
Amazing. Vallee is a professional through and through. He reminds me on Joseph Campell and his grand mono myth theory. Vallee also tries to find common denominators in the making of myth from miracles. He is looking very closely at such phenomena as they occurred at Lourdes and Fatima where he finds similarities to more modern UFO sightings. All in all, an entirely new take on and attempt to make sense of the whole UFO shebang including sightings and abductions. All beautifully written and quite believable.… (more)
