Alien Contact Books in Order

Jacques Vallée compares modern UFO reports with historical accounts of extraordinary encounters. Examining abductions, spiritual experiences and obstacles to investigation, he argues that familiar explanations involving visitors from other planets fail to account for the full range of reported phenomena.

Jacques Vallée investigates forty reported UFO encounters through fieldwork, witness interviews and physical evidence. Following cases across the world, he examines the difficulties facing researchers who try to study experiences that conventional science often dismisses without detailed inquiry.

Jacques Vallée examines sensational UFO claims alongside evidence of hoaxes, manipulation and disinformation. Tracing how researchers can be diverted from reliable investigation, he explores the gap between reported encounters and the elaborate stories built around them.
