Jacques Valleeholds a master's degree in astrophysics from France
and a PhD in computer science from Northwestern University. He is
the author of several books about high technology and unidentified
phenomena, a subject that first attracted his attention as an
astronomer in Paris. While analyzing observations from many parts
of the world, Vallee became intrigued by the similarities in every
culture in patterns between modern sightings and historical reports
of encounters with flying objects and their occupants. After a
career as an information scientist with Stanford Research Institute
and the Institute for the Future, where he served as a principal
investigator for the groupware project on the ARPANET, the
prototype of the Internet, Vallee cofounded a venture capital firm
in Silicon Valley. He lives in San Francisco.
Chris Aubeck was born in London. He moved to Spain at age 19, and

Granada. His interest in the historical and sociological aspects of
unexplained aerial phenomena began at an early age. A student of
language and folklore, he has helped compile the largest collection
of pre-1947 UFO cases in the world. He has spoken on his research
in many articles and on public radio. In 2008 he was awarded a
prize for his contributions to the field by the Spanish
