Foreword by David J. Hufford, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus of Humanities and Psychiatry. Penn State College of Medicine. Adjunct Professor of Religious Studies. University of Pennsylvania. Author, The Terror That Comes in the Night. In 1969 I was a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, pursuing a Ph.D. in the field of Folklore. My primary interest was in what was called "folk belief." This term was, and still is, generally reserved for beliefs that are at odds in some way with the official modern worldview. I was taught that such beliefs were both non-empirical and nonrational, that they were cultural fictions that reflected local concerns and functioned to support community values and psychological needs. The experiences on which they claimed to be based were, to use the term popularized by Thomas Kuhn's landmark work, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962), "anomalies." <strong>...</strong></p>Vallée Jacques - UFOs The psychic solutionurn:md5:fe5941d8b9d65ea356064fe3172dbe8e2017-03-29T01:58:00+01:002017-03-29T01:02:11+01:00balderVallée JacquesChristChristianityProtestantUFO <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img4/Vallee_Jacques_-_UFOs_The_psychic_solution.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Introduction. In the last twenty-five years, thousands of people have reported the persistent appearances of UFO phenomena. A careful examination of the patterns of these reports has already shown that they follow definite laws for which no explanation has been found. These statistical facts have been adequately documented elsewhere1 and will not concern us here. Instead we will examine a more exciting subject: the role of this phenomenon and its impact on each of us. The aim of this book is to offer a new point of view on UFOs. It has become important to pose the UFO 'problem' in a new fashion because our cultural beliefs regarding the existence of forms of consciousness elsewhere in the universe are undergoing major shifts. Perhaps these shifts have been precipitated by the realization that outer space has been opened to man and by the feeling of the smallness and the isolation of our planet brought back by astronauts. Perhaps they are flowing from the hope that .other civilizations may already have solved the economic and social problems that concern every country on earth today. The scope and impact of this cultural change have received some attention, but no attempt has yet been made to understand its basic mechanism. <strong>...</strong></p>Vallée Jacques - Revelationsurn:md5:49458decef9e50bd5430aa5b46d7bd732017-03-29T01:24:00+01:002017-05-18T09:56:40+01:00balderVallée JacquesCivilizationsGermanyUFO <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img4/Vallee_Jacques_-_Revelations.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Prologue. The men were dressed in fatigues. They signaled for us to stop the car. Bob turned off the engine. The wind carried a small cloud of dust past the windows of the Oldsmobile we had rented in Las Vegas. In the glare of the headlights we could see that two of them were wearing sidearms. The third one remained on the edge of the trail, closer to the guard post. He was carrying a machine gun. We lowered the windows, avoiding any suspicious or sudden moves. "Didn't you see the sign?" said one of the guards. <strong>...</strong></p>Vallée Jacques - Fastwalkerurn:md5:8a8821740a7dec5f03c2f4e393adc39f2017-03-29T01:12:00+01:002017-05-18T09:56:45+01:00balderVallée JacquesIsraëlUFO <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img4/Vallee_Jacques_-_Fastwalker.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Note to the reader. This book is based on Alintel, a French-language novel published by Mercure de France in Paris in 1986. In its present form it owes much to my friends Tracy Torme, who worked on a screenplay version from which I have borrowed large sections of the American dialogue. His creation of original characters and situations that helped the story come to life was an inspiration for our work. I am also grateful to Robert Weiss, who shaped its development, and to Mary Buckley, who edited the text. Many dedicated people who relentlessly pursue the UFO enigma and related topics have inspired and enriched this tale. Among those who contributed to the fictionalized accounts told in this book are witnesses of unexplained sightings who have communicated with me over the years, and the victims of abductions who conveyed the complexity of the phenomenon and its effect on their lives. Special thanks are due to my wife Janine, who is cheerfully encouraging my continuing efforts to make sense out of the whole mystery, and to a few friends who, over the years, have helped me reflect on it. Among them I am especially grateful to Fred Beckman for his support and to Richard Grossinger, Keith Harary, John White and "Cloud Rider" on Internet for some stimulating comments. This is a work of fiction inspired by real events, but primarily designed to entertain. As such, it does not necessarily reflect my own views as a scientist researching the UFO phenomenon. It includes a few specific mentions of well-known real figures like Professor Hynek or Major Donald Keyhoe, and of publicly identified organizations like the CIA and the People's Temple. Apart from such references, any resemblance between characters or groups mentioned in this book and real persons, dead or alive, or with military or civilian organizations is purely coincidental, and did not enter into the authors' intentions. As to the existence of Alintel, it can neither be confirmed nor denied. - Jacques Vallee. <strong>...</strong></p>Vallée Jacques - Confrontationsurn:md5:d929e6f667820c3df9f5d2c1834eb3f22017-03-29T01:05:00+01:002017-05-18T09:56:50+01:00balderVallée JacquesAfricaUFO <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img4/Vallee_Jacques_-_Confrontations.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Prologue. On a beautiful, clear day in late April 1980, I found myself climbing a steep hill across the bay from the city of Rio de Janeiro to locate the spot where Brazil's most dramatic UFO event had occurred. It was a case in which two men had been found dead in circumstances the police had never been able to explain. <strong>...</strong></p>Vallée Jacques - Passport to Magoniaurn:md5:10166afac98d3daa161384450b513cad2017-01-17T16:16:00+00:002021-01-12T01:20:46+00:00balderVallée JacquesUFO <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Vallee_Jacques_-_Passport_to_Magonia.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Chapter one. Visions of a parallel World. So Man, who here seems principal alone, Perhaps acts second to some sphere unknown. Touches some wheel, or verges to some goal, 'Tis but a part we see, and not a whole. Alexander Pope, Essay on Man. On june 15, 1952, in the jungles of Yucatan, an archaeological expedition led by Alberto Ruz Lhuillicr and three companions made a remarkable discovery. The team was investigating the impressive Palenque monuments, located in the state of Chiapas, on the site of a well-known Mayan city that scientists were busy restoring and mapping in systematic fashion. Yucatan is a region of constant humidity and high temperature, and the tropical vegetation had caused considerable damage to the temples and pyramids erected by the Mayas, whose civilization was marked by the genius of its architects and is thought to have declined in the first centuries of our era, disappearing almost completely about the ninth century—that is, at the time of the Charlemagne Empire in Europe. <strong>...</strong></p>Vallée Jacques - Dimensionsurn:md5:1dbb239e35d777cef8daff9a85d250832017-01-17T16:12:00+00:002017-01-17T16:15:28+00:00balderVallée JacquesConspiracyEnglandJewUFO <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Vallee_Jacques_-_Dimensions.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Foreword by Whitley Strieber. There are two things about the UFO controversy that make it uniquely interesting. The first is that it is probably the deepest mystery that mankind has ever encountered. The second is that it has been the object of so much denial despite the fact that it is certainly a real phenomenon. At the very least it is a social issue of the utmost importance, because it has all the potential of a truly powerful idea to enter unconscious mythology and there to generate beliefs so broad in their scope and deep in their impact that they emerge with religious implications for the surrounding culture. The only thing now needed to make the UFO myth a new religion of remarkable scope and force is a single undeniable sighting. Such a sighting need last only a few minutes – just long enough to be thoroughly documented. It will at once invest the extraterrestrials channels, the "space brothers" believers, and the UFO cultists with the appearance of revealed truth. This unfortunate state of affairs has come about for one reason, and one reason only. Our best intellects have methodically ignored the issue of UFOs for half a century, and have thus left the public without recourse in making sense of the incredibly subtle and complex experience of sighting them and interacting with their inhabitants. There are two reasons that the scientific community has been unable to address the issue sensibly. The first is that the phenomenon is so elusive that it cannot be easily measured. The UFO occupants – if there are any – cannot be studied or even engaged in dialogue, and their machines are only rarely seen by trained observers who are also willing to make their observations known to their colleagues. The second is, simply fear. Any explanation of the phenomenon that is now prosaic must inevitably lead to a profound challenge to cherished theories about the nature of mind and universe and man's place in the cosmos. If we come to a correct understanding of the UFO phenomenon, we may well in the process destroy the whole basis of our present beliefs about reality. Sensing this on an almost instinctive level, scientists hide behind the facile posturing of self-styled "debunkers" who can be counted on to distort or suppress unsettling data in order to leave our current ideas intact. The public is left – as I was left – facing the visitors in the middle of the night without any notion of what they are, where they came from, or how to act in their presence. Absent any genuine understanding of the phenomenon, one is forced to accept that it is what it appears to be. As Dr. Vallee points out in this masterful and ground-breaking analysis, that is exactly what we should not be doing. He places this modern UFO experience firmly in its historical context as the latest manifestation of a phenomenon that goes back at least as far as recorded history. Thus, at a stroke, he redefines it as a part of the fundamental mythology of human experience and enables us, for the first time, to begin to raise questions about it of sufficient depth and resonance to be meaningful. In the process he takes us on a grand journey through the annals of strange and anomalous human experience. He reveals an appalling truth: the phenomenon has been with us throughout history – and never, in all of that time, have we been able to deal sensibly with it. Whatever it is, it changes with our ability to perceive it. The fifteenth century saw the visitors as fairies. The tenth century saw them as sylphs. The Romans saw them as wood-nymphs and sprites. And so it goes, back into time. One of the thousands of people who wrote me concerning my book Communion had this fascinating insight: "Whatever cosmology or mythology I was immersed in seemed to be the factor for shaping the context and attendant imagery of my experiences, which I believe are essentially of an abstract nature." And yet I myself have faced physical beings. The context of my own experience, with extensive witness by others, makes it clear that the phenomenon can emerge as an entirely real, physical presence that is quite capable of manipulating its environment. The next moment, though, it can evaporate into thin air, leaving not a trace of what was a moment before an immense and overwhelmingly real presence. <strong>...</strong></p>Vallée Jacques - Anatomy of a phenomenonurn:md5:9b41551006a724cf41ddf91f01a1eb682017-01-17T15:52:00+00:002017-01-17T16:12:21+00:00balderVallée JacquesEnglandLondonUFO <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Vallee_Jacques_-_Anatomy_of_a_phenomenon.jpg" alt="" /><br />

FOREWORD TO THE 2008 EDITION. EARLY THIRTY YEARS have elapsed since Messengers of Deception first appeared in the U.S. Since then, the controversial views it expressed have been vindicated and thrown into sharp focus by shocking events that were reported worldwide. In particular, the stark warning I issued in connection with the HIM cult ("It only costs your life!") appears as unfortunately prophetic in light of the March 1997 collective suicide of Heaven's Gate, as the group became known. The mass killings of the adepts of the Order of the Solar Temple in Canada, France and Switzerland in 1994 illustrated the dangerous form of mind control and the simulation of extraterrestrial contact I first described here in connection with the "Adventures of a Grand Master." The cattle mutilations phenomenon remains unsolved. As for the Raelians, the cult started by Vorilhon whose early lectures in San Francisco are recalled in this book, it has flourished internationally and burst into prominence in recent years with claims of human cloning. Not only have these issues continued to simmer under the surface while UFO believers basked in their benign expectation of aliens from the stars, but a veritable mass conversion has taken place among the public and the media elite. The belief in extraterrestrial visitation is practically taken for granted among wide sections of the population, and especially among the young. While the hypothesis of alien contact is an exciting one, justified on the basis of continuing observations of unidentified flying objects, it carries the potential for exploitation and manipulation by deceptive groups with their own hidden agenda. I believe that UFOs are physically real. They represent a fantastic technology controlled by an unknown form of consciousness. But I also believe that it would be dangerous to jump to premature conclusions about their origin and nature, because the phenomenon serves as the vehicle for images that can be manipulated to promote belief systems tending to the long-term transformation of human society. I have tried to identify some of the manipulators and to highlight their activities, which range from apparently harmless hoaxes such as the false professor George Adamski's meetings with Venusian spacemen to bloody expeditions that have littered the American landscape with the carcasses of mutilated animals. I have found disturbing evidence of dangerous sectarian activities linked to totalitarian philosophies. The ease with which journalists and even scientists can be seduced into indiscriminate promotion of such deceptions is staggering. In the context of an academic attitude that rejects any open investigation of paranormal phenomena, such fanatical conversions must be expected. For me, that is only one more reason for an independent thinker to remain vigilant against false ideas and simplistic political notions planted by those I have called the "Messengers of Deception." <strong>...</strong></p>Vallée Jacques - Forbidden Scienceurn:md5:051b30c022375af04544e086c4eef5fe2012-09-24T22:05:00+01:002014-05-05T15:23:36+01:00balderVallée JacquesForbidden ScienceUFO <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Vallee_Jacques_-_Forbidden_Science_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

lt is unusual for scientists to keep diaries and even more unusual for them to make them public. While we know much about the intimate lives and personal motivations of musicians, movie stars and literary figures, the day-to-day life of scientists remains carefully veiled, as if science somehow arose spontaneously by a process which superseded the mere activities of mortals. Like most of my colleagues, I have followed this rule of silence for the last thirty years, never expecting that these Journals would be published before my death. But I have finally decided that I had no right to keep them private any more. Although they contain many passages that are very personal and some that are painful, they also provide a primary source about a crucial fact in the recent historical record: the appearance of new classes of phenomena that highlighted the reality of the paranormal. These phenomena were deliberately denied or distorted by those in authority within the government and the military. Science never had fair and complete access to the most important files. This fact has been alleged before, but never proven. The present book proves it. Publication was not considered when the pages of these Journals slowly accumulated in the form of copybooks, loose pages, letters and marginal notes. I simply regarded it as a useful intellectual and spiritual discipline to review for myself the events of each period, if not those of each day. At first this exercise helped me cope with the uncertainties and the rapid changes in my life as a student in France. Later, when I moved to the United States, the Journal became a confidant and, more importantly, an adviser, a crystal ball, a tool to interrogate the future and to explore its potential. It turns out that the thirteen years covered here, from 1957 to 1969, saw some of the most exciting events in technological history: the first space adventures, the rise of the computer, the electronic revolution, the invention of advanced software, the flight to the moon, the first detailed images of other planets. As a young scientist I was a minor contributor to some of these events, an avidly interested observer of others. These developments which changed our world are well-documented in countless books. Behind the grand parade of the visible breakthroughs in science, however, more private mysteries were also taking place. The paranormal, with its claims and counter-claims about telepathy, dowsing, astrology, healing and other effects, was a matter of sharp debate and secret passion among believers and skeptics. And there were even more exciting events taking place: all over the world people had begun to observe what they described as controlled devices in the sky. They were shaped like saucers or spheres. They seemed to violate every known principle in our physics. Did these objects constitute the first signal of imminent contact with alien civilizations from outer space at a time when we were designing our own space probes? Governments took notice, organizing task forces, encouraging secret briefings and study groups, funding classified research . . . and all the time denying before the public that any of the phenomena might be real. What the media and the scientific world were told by those responsible for public welfare had little to do with what was happening. Anyone reviewing that period and looking solely at the official story will have no chance of coming to grips with the truth about the unfolding drama. In fact, the major revelation of these Diaries may be the demonstration of how the scientific community was misled by the government, how the best data were kept hidden, and how the public record was shamelessly manipulated. Witnesses of the strange occurrences numbered in the millions. But the study of their observations had been forcefully driven underground. It had turned into a fascinating discipline in a hypocritical modern world that claimed rational thought and open inquiry as its highest standard: it had become a Forbidden Science. No reminiscences of that era can be credible unless they are supported by the daily record of conversations, meetings and research results made by a participant in the actual events. I kept such a record and I was such a participant, first as a direct witness to the phenomenon in 1955, then as a French Government astronomer, and later as a computer scientist who played a significant role in detecting and publishing some of the major patterns behind the mystery and in arguing for its reality. In that phase of my work I was a close associate of Dr. J. Allen Hynek, the man who was scientific consultant for the U.S. Air Force on the UFO problem for nearly a quarter century, specifically from 1947 to 1969. Several factors make it important to bring these notes, however personal and fragmentary, to the attention of the public. Only one book was published by a professional historian who took an interest in the field, but it is marred by distortions and errors of omission. And there is a growing misunderstanding of the actual role played by Dr. Hynek in the study of unidentified flying objects. Allen Hynek liked to remind us that beyond today's science there would be a twenty-first century science that would have to take into account phenomena that seemed paranormal to us simply because of our parochial mental attitudes and the limitations of what he aptly called our cultural provincialism. I hope to bring him back to life here, along with Dr. James McDonald and other figures of that era. The record stops twenty years ago, as I arrived in California where I now live with my family. I have augmented it with an Epilogue that brings the reader up to the present. Indeed, many important events that have taken place in the intervening period throw new light on the theories I formed before 1969. Some of these theories have turned out to be quite accurate; some were wrong, and the true facts were only revealed later. Other facts are still hidden. When they eventually come to the surface, as they must, it is my hope that this statement of the early years of our research into Forbidden Science may serve to highlight their true significance. I fully recognize that this is only one man's perspective on a series of very complex events. Because this book is a compilation of diaries, it contains opinions that are no longer mine and judgments I now regret, along with much evidence of mistakes I made along the way. I owe many thanks to Janine, to Richard Grossinger and especially to Lindy Hough at North Atlantic Books for their guidance in editing, pruning and streamlining the text. However it was not appropriate, of course, to change the record. At this late date I can only beg the forgiveness of those who may eel that my pen, often "hurriedly dipped in the inkwell of frustration," was overly rash. Jacques Vallee San Francisco, January 1992. <strong>...</strong></p>
