IF SCIENCE REFUSES TO DEAL WITH THIS TOPIC, THEN WHAT IS SCIENCE FOR?

Beginning after the launch of Sputnik and ending with the landing on the moon, the first volume of Jacques Vallee’s journals details how UFOs, in the midst of a proliferation of sightings in the 1960s, became a forbidden science. In this beautifully written journal, Vallee reveals just how the scientific community was misled by the government, how the best data on UFOs was kept hidden, and how the public record was shamelessly manipulated.

This dazzling diary offers a glimpse into the mind of a scientist who seems to challenge every misconception and established piety. It is replete with profoundly insightful, often devastating observations. – Publishers Weekly

The qualities that come through most clearly are Vallee’s love of people, his intense curiosity, and his willingness to march to his own drum…Vallee’s book will be a valuable resource in providing first hand insight into the early development of the UFO controversy. – Professor Peter Sturrock, Stanford University
