Forbidden Science 4: The Spring Hill Chronicles, the Journals of Jacques Vallee 1990-1999

by Jacques F. Vallée

A FASCINATING INTELLECTUAL ODYSSEY The Spring Hill Chronicles are a record of Jacques Vallee’s private study into unexplained phenomena between 1990 and the end of the millennium, during which he was travelling around the globe pursuing his professional work as a high-technology investor. This fourth volume of Forbidden Science takes the reader behind the to the board room of the National Institute of Discovery Science; to meetings with congressmen and intelligence officials; and to the closed sessions of the Rockefeller Initiative. Vallee’s field study of UFO close encounters in the USSR in 1990 and the Haravilliers mystery in France at the end of the decade—two major episodes, still unexplained today—serve as bookends between which he studied dozens of remarkable events yielding veridical data analyzed in the laboratory. This was a period during which scientists were finally able to study UFOs with adequate resources, producing results that were at once challenging and puzzling. JACQUES VALLEE holds a master’s degree in astrophysics and a PhD in computer science. The subject of UFOs first attracted his attention as an astronomer in Paris. He subsequently became a close associate of Project Blue Book’s J. Allen Hynek and has written several books on the UFO enigma. He is presently a venture capitalist living in San Francisco.

Yes, I read most of what this man published, he gave some of the best interpretation on the phenomenon in a few of his writtings. But oh boy, reading his diaries has been an enlightening experience.,,,
I read 3 of them, yes, they are toxic, Vallee is full xxx , he is extremelly judgemental, he is wrong many times over, talks silly sh... things, and so on. The amount of contradictions, of superficial judgment is staggering.
Still ppl take him seriously, read it properly, Vallee is clueless most of the time. He was coned several times by the counter intelligence, and has the face to call others naive... Or suggesting tha Hopkins was wrong in almost everything however he never took any of his case to study or dissect. Pathetic.
HE PROPOSED SUE BLACKMORE TO BIGELOW LOL. Just to discover a few years later she is rather superficial, that is very telling. Good luck studying this guy. I am through with him

A fascinating look at the life of one of the most intriguing academics of our age. Forbidden Science 4 is exactly what it says on the cover - a decade of Vallee's journal entries. If you're aren't familiar with Vallee's work, or the fields of computer science and UFOlogy, this might not be for you, but if you are, this is almost essential reading.
