Forbidden Science 6: Scattered Castles, The Journals of Jacques Vallee 2010-2019
ONE DAY IN SAN FRANCISCO…
Jacques Vallee realizes why the highly classified project he joined two years earlier will never solve the many-dimensional mystery it investigates. That insight into UFO phenomena leads him into a deeper independent field exploration of cases in Brazil and Argentina, Europe and Russia. Back home in Silicon Valley, his professional fascination for new business ventures opens opportunities to draw new insights from biology and information physics. Vallee uses the literary skills of a mature diarist to introduce us to this colorful world of twenty-first century research. When the path to new solutions takes an unexpected turn, his psychic explorations enter a new domain, rich in emotional presences and esoteric insight.

In mainstream science, Vallée is notable for co-developing the first computerized mapping of Mars for NASA and for his work at SRI International in creating ARPANET, a precursor to the modern Internet. Vallée is also an important figure in the study of unidentified flying objects (UFOs), first noted for a defense of the scientific legitimacy of the extraterrestrial hypothesis and later for promoting the interdimensional hypothesis.

It’s always amazing that one man’s thoughts can be so compelling. There are very few people for whom I could read what is essentially their daily journal and be captivated like this. A wonderful writer, with beautiful and observant thoughts, and fascinating people and ideas coming in and out of his life. This is absolutely worth a read for anyone interested in the paranormal or UFOs in general.
