Produktbeschreibung
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 traveling around the globe pursuing his professional work as a high-technology investor. This fourth volume of Forbidden Science takes the reader behind the scenes: 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.
Autorenporträt
Dr. Jacques Vallee was born in France, where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics from the Sorbonne and a Master of Science in astrophysics from the University of Lille. He began his professional life as an astronomer at the Paris Observatory in 1961. While on the staff of the French Space Committee, he witnessed the destruction of the tracking tapes of unknown objects orbiting the earth, initiating a lifelong interest in the UFO phenomenon. Vallee arrived in the U.S. in 1962, worked in astronomy at the University of Texas at Austin, and wrote two highly respected scientific examinations arguing for the Extraterrestrial Hypothesis (ETH) of UFO origins. In 1967, he received a Ph.D. in computer science from Northwestern University, where he became a close associate of J. Allen Hynek, then scientific consultant for the U.S. Air Force on Project Blue Book. Eventually concluding that the ETH was too narrow to encompass the burgeoning UFO data, he conducted his own extensive global research, resulting in the "Alien Contact Trilogy." Dr. Vallee is presently a venture capitalist living in San Francisco. His website is www.jacquesvallee.com.
