This was a crazy book that ended up making a lot of sense.

I can’t believe I’m giving Jacques Vallée three stars but here we are. Maybe if I hadn’t read Passport to Magonia I would have enjoyed this more. I felt like there was a lot of recycled content.
The supposed main claim of this book is that UFOs are not extraterrestrial, but are instead extradimensional. It’s a cool theory and deserves just as much consideration as the outer space idea, but the topic is mostly relegated to the last third of the book, with the first two sections trying to convince the reader that UFOs are real and have been seen across the centuries. In my mind, if someone is reading this book, they’ve already come to that conclusion. I guess I just wanted to see more of the theories behind alternate dimensions than rudimentary proof of UFOs. Especially when a lot of that is already covered in his earlier books.
