Our Review |
Opinion of the webmaster, subject to debate |
"Close Encounters" ufologist Jaques Vallee
analyzes several contemporary (1991) UFO cases
including a chapter on Bob Lazar,
who Vallee dismisses as a fraud.
Other topics include a chapter on the
MJ-12 papers, another on crashed saucers
and smaller sections on
the Bentwaters incident, the Gulf Breeze "fiasco" and
a dozen lessor known cases.
Vallee is critical of most of them,
especially those that suggest a specific
U.S. Government involvement.
Vallee prefers his conspiracies at arms length,
and to us his judgment seems clouded by his own
preconceptions of what UFOs should be.
Thus he rejects some fairly plausible cases
while believing in others that seem far more absurd.
We no longer regard Vallee as a cutting edge researcher,
but the book is worth its paperback price
at least for the background data it provides.
His criticisms are worthy of note and should
be read by anyone who is seriously researching the cases
he reviews.

Praise for the first two books in Dr. Vallee's Alien Contact Trilogy
DIMENSIONS
"The most penetrating and comprehensive assessment of the UFO experience,
bar none . . . Unlike skeptics such as Phillip Klass, Vallee does
not explain away and dismiss UFOs or intend to do so. In fact, DIMENSIONS
leads to an even greater appreciation of the phenomenon."
"Provocative ... intensively researched, thoughtful ... Watch the
skies‹and read this book. "
CONFRONTATIONS
"Absolutely fascinating ... By far the most interesting and scientific
commentator on the UFO phenomenon."
"With this book, Jacques Vallee has added another important and reasoned
analysis to his earlier and now classic considerations of the UFO
conundrum.... 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
Publisher's Synopsis
The bestselling trilogy from the world's foremost UFO authority concludes
with a powerful and
controversial document that separates the facts about extraterrestrial
visits from the fabrications.
Other titles are Dimensions and Confrontations.
From the Book Cover
A WARNING WE CANNOT AFFORD TO IGNORE
In REVELATIONS, Dr. Jacques Vallee presents startling evidence that well
constructed hoaxes and media manipulations have misled UFO researchers,
diverting them from the real issues at hand in the UFO phenomenon.
Focussing in depth on cases reported in the United States and throughout
the world, Dr. Vallee analyzes the full gamut of sensational UFO
"incidents," from the alleged history of saucer "crashes" and the
retrieval of aliens by the U.S. government to reports of a subterranean
community of hostile humanoids in the American Southwest. In the
process, he reveals that some of the most remarkable sightings are
actually complex, carefully engineered hoaxes.
Part scientific detective story, part experiment in truth seeking,
REVELATIONS is an astonishing document that is certain to provoke
controversy.
"[A] bracing finale to Vallee's 'Alien Contact Trilogy' ... A forceful
and refreshingly iconoclastic study."
