From the Book Cover
"Fascinating... Vallee has written another thoughtful and stimulating
UFO book on a par with his ground-breaking Anatomy of a
Phenomenon and Challenge to Science.... Highly
recommended."
Dr. Jacques Vallee has been widely recognized and honored as the premier
investigating scientist in the realm of UFO research today. Now, in this
thrilling sequel to his bestseller DIMENSIONS, Dr. Vallee sweeps readers
into the very real world of UFO sightings, contact, and (in some instances)
abduction and injury.
Going far beyond theoretical analysis, Dr. Vallee meticulously documents
his own firsthand investigations into sightings around the world.
CONFRONTATIONS presents, often with breath-stopping dramatic impact,
eyewitness accounts and case studies from the United States, Europe,
and South America, where Dr. Vallee has personally investigated claims of
UFO encounters and close, occasionally deadly, encounters. Complete with
maps, sketches, diagrams, and on-the-spot photographs, this study serves
up a riveting, spine-chilling view of the UFO phenomenon - a phenomenon
that has been viewed for too long by too many as benign.

Promotional Material from the Publisher
Acclaim from the experts for CONFRONTATIONS
"In Confrontations, Jacques Vallee has again shown why he should be
regarded as perhaps our foremost contemporary UFO researcher. In this
dark but deeply absorbing book, he has made the strongest case yet
for his position that the reality of UFOs is far stranger, and even
more ominous, than popular theories of extraterrestrial visitation
would have us believe. His ideas may well lead to a renewed era of
truly scientific study of a phenomenon we can no longer afford to
ignore."
Dr. Kenneth Ring
Author of Heading Toward Omega
"With this book, Jacques Vallee has added another important and reasoned
analysis to his earlier and now classic considerations of the UFO
conundrum.... Though many ufologists will not agree with his case
against the extraterrestrial hypothesis, no serious student of UFOs
(pro or con) should ignore this addition to the debate."
Marcello Truzzi, Ph.D.
Director
Center for Scientific Anomalies Research
