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.
Dimensions is "probably the most penetrating and comprehensive
assessment of the UFO experience, bar none... Dimensions sums up
both Vallee's work since [the 1960s] and UFO research in general,
establishing new standards against which all further ufological
work must be measured." - John White, New Realities
"Provocative...Intensively researched, thoughtful...Watch the skies
- and read this book." - Kirkus Reviews"Masterful and
ground-breaking." - Whitley Strieber"A remarkable account of the
phenomenon's maddening multidimensionality...After Jacques Vallee,
you will never again think the same way about UFOs." - Utne
