A Reframing of Unidentified Phenomena

As the world entered the 21st century, unresolved mysteries from earlier times were reframed with new clarity. While civilization had matured in technical depth and global cooperation, research on frontier phenomena expanded across the globe. The early pioneers of the scientific study of UFOs (Allen Hynek, Donald Keyhoe, Aimé Michel, James McDonald) had passed away, but their enthusiasm inspired a growing number of researchers. For that second generation, Vallée's contributions, based in hard science and the discipline of innovation capital, helped build a path to "disclosure"-the realization, as business and technology brought knowledge, power, and freedom everywhere, that the universe was wide open and that unidentified sightings could be studied in novel ways.

The events of 9/11 and their aftermath in conflict and complexity set humanity back and delayed such hopes. Suddenly, a world at war had other preoccupations than unexplained phenomena, yet a few teams of scientists and physicians continued the effort. Here, in ten years of carefully curated journal entries, partly drawn from classified research, Vallée shows how they brought a remarkable new reality to the light of day.
